Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 491

Just like that, for liveliness, Sherri stayed with the Landor family for the next half a month while Rose carried on her

plan. On January 35, she would stay at the Roberts family’s place on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Then, she

would stay at the Landor family’s residence on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Sunday, she would stay at her

small home with Edward. Unknowingly, a month had passed. Edward picked Rose up and down from work on time

every day before they both went

home.

Rose was working at Athana Hospital.

During lunch break, Rose was about to follow the receptionist to the canteen for lunch. Just as she stood up from

the seat, she felt dizzy, and her vision went black.

It was dark before her, and she could not see anything. Her vision was black for a few seconds, but Rose did not

panic. She placed her hands on the table to relieve herself for a while.

After a while, she could see again. She lifted her wrist and looked at the date on her watch. If her guess was

correct, it might be because of that.

Recently, she had been so happy and busy that she had forgotten about her period cycle. She could only get an

answer after going for a check-up.

If it weren’t and she had told Edward, Edward would be disappointed. She didn’t want him to be disappointed.

After lunch, Rose signed up for an obstetrics and gynecology department appointment. Because she often stayed in

Sherri’s consultation room, many of the doctors around Sherri knew her. She asked the doctor to help write a list of

tests and asked the nurse to help take her blood.

She had to go to work in the afternoon, so she could only use her privilege as a colleague.

Rose was very popular in the hospital. She was low-key, amiable, and easy to get along with. The people from the

laboratory department were willing to help her do the test. After a while, the results were out.

She had been nervously waiting for the results. Rose paced back and forth in front of the laboratory door. There

was a click, and the door opened.

The colleague from the laboratory department came out with the report, smiled, and handed it to Rose.

“Congratulations, you’re pregnant.”

Before Rose saw the report, she already had some guesses. However, she was still secretly delighted when she

heard her colleague’s words. She suppressed the joy in her heart and took the list. She took a look and

subconsciously placed her hand on her belly and touched it.

Her colleagues laughed. “You must be overjoyed. Your husband must be even happier. Prepare for this surprise.”

Amidst her joy, Rose did not forget to thank the staff politely. “Thank you. I’ll treat you to a milkshake next time.”

She could buy them drinks even if she could not drink them herself.

As expected, it was definitely abnormal for her period to go haywire. It was either a hormone imbalance, or she

was pregnant.

On the way back to the consultation room, Rose was thinking about how to tell Edward about this gift.

Giving him the report was not enough. It would not be romantic enough, nor was it surprising enough.

She lowered her head to look at the report in her hand and fell into deep thought. Just as she reached the door of

the outpatient clinic, an idea flashed through her mind.

She quickly pushed open the door and entered the consultation room. Then, she opened the delivery app and

prepared something.

It was time to get off work.

Rose was in a good mood. She greeted everyone she knew with a smile on her face. She was holding a black bag in

her hand. There was something unknown in it. It looked square, and the box was quite big.

The nurse passing by was also quite curious. “Dr. Roberts, what did you buy?”

Rose only told her half the truth. “It’s a gift for my husband. I’m getting off work. Bye.”

“Bye.” The nurse even turned to look at the gift in Rose’s hand. It was black, and she did not know what it was.

Edward came to pick her up on time. Ever since he dated Rose, he was already a man who got back and forth from

work on time.

As soon as the alarm rang, he got up and left the office. Kyle, the poor assistant, did the rest of the work. Edward

was meticulous. He was afraid that Rose would not be used to being married. With him around, she would feel

more at ease.

Moreover, Rose had a chauffeur to pick her up every day before she got married. She couldn’t ask the Roberts

family’s chauffeur to pick her up after she married him. It was unreasonable and irresponsible.

Edward helped her with the seatbelt in the car and skillfully buttoned it. “Do you want to eat at home or in the

restaurant?” Wasn’t she going back to the Landor family today? Logically speaking, her mother-in-law had already

prepared delicious food.

Edward started the car and said gently, “Mom said it’s up to you. If you want to go home for dinner, go home. You

don’t have to follow the plan every day.”

“What’s that in your hand? Did you buy anything?”

Rose had been distracted by the dinner topic just now. Now that he asked, she began to feel excited again. She hid

her surprise. “About this, I’ll show you when we get home. You can’t open it now.”

Looking at his wife’s mysterious expression, Edward’s curiosity was piqued. “It’s so mysterious. Is it a pet in this big

box?” Weren’t humans high-level animals? The embryo on this list should be considered a germinating small

animal. “Yes, it’s a little high-level. I’ll show it to you when I get home.”

“Let’s go home and eat. I’ll show Daddy and Mommy my gift.”

Edward asked, “Isn’t the gift for me?”

At the traffic light, Edward turned around and glanced at the black bag. Why did Rose say that it was a small

animal? It did not even move. It made him wonder if it was asleep.

Rose pretended not to notice Edward’s sneaky glance. “Is Sherri home?”

“Yes, she’s here. No one will miss out on her.” She was the happiest every day.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Landor family’s villa. Rose pushed open the door and got

out of the car. Edward walked around the back of the car to help her get the bag.

Rose did not avoid giving the bag to him directly. It was originally for him. Edward took the bag and opened it to

take a look. Inside was a red square box that was sealed. “Rose, didn’t you say it was an animal? If you seal it all like

this, it won’t be able to breathe.”

Rose thought, “Indeed. I was almost suffocated keeping this secret.”

For a carefree person, preparing for a surprise was the most difficult. Why? Because she couldn’t hold back the

secret and had to try hard to keep it.

The drama queen quickly urged, “Ah, I didn’t know. Is it suffocating? Then, let’s hurry home and open the box.”

Edward was also afraid of suffocating the animal in the box. He held the bag carefully with one hand and held

Rose’s shoulder with the other. “What animal did you buy? Why is it so light? It doesn’t feel heavy.”

“You can still feel the weight. The smaller ones can be said to have just been nurtured. They’ll grow bigger if you

nurture them more in the future.”

Edward was puzzled by Rose’s words because the box was really very light. He could not think of any animal that

could be so light. He quickly walked home and did not object to Rose keeping small animals as pets.

“Rose is back. We can start eating soon. Sit on the sofa and rest for a while,” said Juana quickly when she saw Rose

and Edward enter.

Sherri sighed. “My dear sister-in-law, I realize I have no status in this family anymore.”

Rose smiled. She was in a good mood today. He pushed the fruit to Sherri. “Have some. Where are the two

children?” Sherri refused and did not move. “Forget it. I don’t want to eat anymore. My mother has already

complained that my weight has increased today. I’d better control my mouth. Otherwise, the face recognition

machine will not be able to recognize

me.”

She was about to return to his post. It would be awkward if she really couldn’t enter the hospital.

Then, she answered the question, “She’s sleeping upstairs. Ruby is accompanying her. This child insisted that we

come down to watch over her brother.”

Rose thought, “Ruby is the angel baby of the couple.”

“Brother, what’s that thing in your hand? Why is it so big? Did you buy it for me?”

Edward said, “You’re thinking too much.” As he spoke, he began to open the box. He took out the red box and

placed it on the coffee table. Rose cooperated and moved the fruit on the coffee table to the side.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the red box above the coffee table, attracting Juana’s attention. As for Hackett, who

was coming down from upstairs, stood beside Edward.

Edward was depressed. He did not dare to open it. He looked up and met Rose’s eyes. He saw that she was smiling

happily.

Hackett’s curiosity was piqued. He urged, “Why don’t you open it? It’s not some bomb. What are you stopping for?”

“That’s right. Edward, open it. We’re all waiting.”

Under everyone’s gaze, Edward opened the red box and found that it was not over. In it was still a red box. After

opening it, there was another red box. There were a total of five. A tiny red box lay within the big box.

Edward took a deep breath. He really felt like he was dismantling a bomb. The people beside him were focused,

and the dismantler was nervous. Rose really wanted to see Edward’s expression when he saw the report.

Clutching Sherri’s shoulder tightly, Sherri looked up and saw that the gift was from Rose. Her brother would never

buy this thing. “What did you prepare for my brother? Each box is smaller than the last. It’s almost empty.”

Sherri thought, “Is this a magic trick? This couple is bizarre.”

Rose said, “Surprise.”

Edward opened the last box. There was nothing in it. There was only a medical report lying there. The logo of

Athana Hospital was on it. There was also some data from the laboratory. He could not understand it but picked it

up and looked at it. It was Rose’s medical report. There was an indicator that exceeded the normal range.

At the side, Hackett and Juana tiptoed to look at the report. “Fuck, she is pregnant.”

Hackett said this. He had an obstetrician-gynecologist at home, so he had to learn professional knowledge.

Otherwise, he would be letting Sherri down.

Since he had nothing to do at night, Sherri was afraid that she would forget his professional knowledge. Everyone

said that pregnancy made one stupid for three years. Every day before bed, she would drag Hackett to read books,

memorize terms, and watch videos.

Hackett felt that if Sherri stayed home for another year, he would probably be able to enter the hospital for an

internship.

As soon as he said this…

The entire living room was extremely quiet. It was so quiet that they could hear each other’s breathing. Sherri was

the first to react. She stood up from the sofa and leaned over to take the medical report from Edward’s hand.

“Damn, Rose, you’re really pregnant.”

As soon as the professional Dr. Landor spoke, Juana quickly walked over and brought Rose to the side, far away

from Sherri Juana glared at her daughter. “Can’t you be more cultured? You’re so noisy every day. Rose, let’s stay

away from her. Are you feeling unwell? Do you feel tired?”

Edward quickly walked to Rose’s pasta and squatted without waiting for Rose to say anything. “Rose…” He was so

surprised that he could not find the words. He leaned closer to take a look. There was redness in Edward’s eyes. It

was excitement and restraint.

Juana patted her son. “Hurry up and carry Rose upstairs to rest. It’s not time for dinner yet. Rose is tired from

working for the day.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Rose was gently picked up by Edward and walked towards the stairs. Juana even

instructed, “Walk slower.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mom, don’t be so nervous. Rose just got pregnant, not going to give birth prematurely. Don’t be so

exaggerated about it.” Although Sherri was thrilled, his mother’s cautiousness would make Rose nervous.

Juana was still in a pleasant surprise. She placed her hands on her hips and paced back and forth, thinking about

what to prepare for dinner. “Don’t eat so much. It’s almost time for dinner.”

With that, Juana went into the kitchen. Hackett and Sherri looked at each other tacitly and shook their heads

helplessly. The Landor family was going to get busy again.
