Chapter 937
"Perhaps this is unnecessary?" said Catelyn as she heard Harry's words, fearing that this would reveal
that Joanne was actually not pregnant." Joanne just needs to rest, and she'll be fine."
Old Madam Atherton was not usually on the same page as Harry. Today, however, she stood by and
agreed with her son. The old lady retorted with disapproval. "Unnecessary? Joanne is pregnant! She
must be treated with care!"
Harry responded and called the doctor. With the situation at hand, Catelyn could not do anything to
stop this.
What if everyone finds out that Joanne was faking the pregnancy?
Thinking of it, Catelyn quickly sat up from the edge of the bed.
Her actions suddenly caused an inexplicable pain in her lower abdomen. The pain made her unable to

He was not the usual family doctor of the Athertons, but another medical director from the hospital
who happened to be present at the birthday party.
"Doctor Rudolf, please have a look at her. Is she okay? How is the baby?" said Old Madam Atherton.
The doctor made a simple diagnosis. When he heard the old lady's words, he looked at her curiously. "You mean...
this young lady is pregnant?"
"Yes, my granddaughter-in-law has been pregnant for two or three months, isn't it?" Old Madam Atherton was
slightly startled, not understanding the meaning of Doctor Rudolfs words.
"Please wait a moment. Let me take another look," he said, his facial expression looking stiff.
He grabbed Joanne's wrist and continued to feel the pulse. It sure did not seem like she was pregnant.
For the moment, Doctor Rudolf was speechless.
After waiting for a long time, Harry got impatient and shouted, "It's just a simple question! Is she pregnant or not?!"
"Well..." stammered Doctor Rudolf.
Before he could continue speaking, Edwin came back in time, and his calm voice interrupted the doctor. "Of course,
my wife is pregnant!"
All eyes were on him now.
Doctor Rudolf stuttered, "Ed... Edwin? Your wife... She..."
Edwin raised his eyebrows as he looked at the doctor. He said lightly, "My wife is nearly three months pregnant. She
is in good health. On her last checkup, the doctor also mentioned that her fetus was in a stable condition. Is that
right, Doctor Rudolf?"
Doctor Rudolf could vaguely hear the threat in Edwin's words, and his knees almost went limp.
"Yes, yes. Your wife and the baby are in good health. It's just that she had been a little too active physically, which
probably affected the fetal
condition a little. Don't worry, I will prescribe her some medicine, and she will be okay."

so nervous earlier when I asked you about it? ' she asked the doctor suspiciously.
There was a lot of cold sweat on Doctor Rudolf's back. "This young lady is a superstar, and my
daughter has always liked her. I didn't expect to see her in person today, so... I got nervous," he
explained.
It seemed that no one would believe the doctor's words at this moment.
Doctor Rudolf had been behaving fine until Edwin came along, and then he suddenly had a complete
change in attitude.
Old Madam Atherton gazed at Edwin coldly. "Are you hiding something from me?"
'What can I hide from you? Grandma, it's your birthday today. Don't be disturbed by these trivial
matters. There are many guests on the first floor waiting to see you, let's not keep them waiting,"
Edwin said with a laugh.
"No! My little great-grandson is way more important than all those guests! Get the family doctor from
the manor now, and have him take a look at Joanne!" exclaimed Old Madam Atherton.
