Chapter 359: Arabelle’s Plan
"Mr. Frost, please wait outside. I’d like a word with Mrs. Frost before I begin the ultrasound," the doctor calmly requested, gesturing towards the door.
Gabe met the doctor’s gaze briefly, his eyes scanning the room before he nodded and turned to step outside, leaving a lingering touch on Arabelle’s hand.
"Don’t go," Arabelle pleaded, her voice sweet and gentle, her grip on his hand tender.
Gabe gently caressed her wrist and reassured her, "I’m not going anywhere, Arabelle. I’ll be right outside. Just a quick chat with the doctor, and I’ll be back."
"Then, you won’t go very far? I want to catch a first glimpse of our child with you," she insisted, her tone carrying warmth and anticipation.
Gabe paused, sensing the sweetness in her voice, "Of course, Arabelle. Let the doctor interview you, and then I’ll come back. Okay?"
Arabelle nodded slowly, her demeanor softening as Gabe left the room. Once alone, she laid back on the examination table, closing her eyes, and whispered to herself, "What do you want to know, doctor? Gabe can always be with me. I have nothing to hide from him."
"That is good, Mrs. Frost. I’ll summon him in a moment. Until then, if you could just move your clothing, I’ll apply some gel. Once you’re set, we can summon Mr. Frost back, right?" the doctor said, maintaining a professional tone.
Silence enveloped the room, broken only by a soft rustling sound as the doctor helped Arabelle with the sheet. Arabelle smiled slightly and nodded, "Alright, doctor. Do what you must."
