The Mafia Lord's Secret Lover-Chapter 257: Pregnancy Test

Hope Medical Centre.

The car finally stopped in front of the private entrance of the VIP wing.

Two nurses stood ready beside a tall man Evelyn recognized instantly: David Hamm, the CEO of Hope Medical Centre.

Although it was not yet eight in the morning, David Hamm stood there as if welcoming the royal family to their hospital. Technically, Axel isn’t a member of the royal family, but he owns the hospital.

And Evelyn couldn’t help feeling nervous at the sight of David Hamm. She squeezed her fingers together on her lap, her pulse quickening.

Axel glanced at her and immediately sensed the shift in her mood. He gently squeezed her hand. Leaning closer, he murmured, "Ready?"

Evelyn inhaled slowly. The flutter in her stomach grew worse. "I should be the one asking that."

"For my wife, I am always ready."

Her heart softened at his tone, warm and low. She tried to calm herself, but Axel only made it worse by lightly tugging at her coat collar, trying to straighten it.

"Relax. This is my hospital. Yours too. Think of it as visiting your own playground."

His attempt at humor did not relax her at all. Instead, her panic rose.

This was only the second time they had appeared publicly together, like an actual couple.

And even though the VIP lobby was nearly empty, she knew they would still run into a few people who would recognize Axel and whisper later.

Was she ready for that?

Was she ready to be known as his wife?

She mentally slapped her own cheeks while trying to keep her expression calm.

After ensuring she did not look cold, Axel smiled. "Wait here. I will open the door for you."

Evelyn watched him step out quickly. A second later, the door beside her opened with a soft click.

He stood there with his hand extended, looking tall and impossibly handsome in his black long coat, which matched hers.

She placed her hand in his and stepped out.

Even standing close, she hardly reached his shoulder. The warmth of his grip tightened, as if he could feel her nerves through her skin.

"Relax," he whispered again.

"I try," she whispered back.

He chuckled and guided her toward the entrance.

David Hamm stepped forward at once, extending his hand. "Mr. Knight. It is nice to have you here this early morning, sir."

Axel shook his head with a smile. "No need to speak formally, Dave."

David immediately brightened. "Sure, man."

ThenDavid’s gaze shifted to Evelyn. He extended a hand politely. "Mrs. Knight, I’m so happy to finally meet you. And, welcome to Hope Medical Centre."

"Thank you," Evelyn said, giving his hand an awkward shake.

Evelyn had heard plenty about David Hamm from Stella, her little sister, who admired him.

"Let us go in," David said while stepping aside.

They did not walk toward any registration counter. The VIP wing worked differently. Appointments were already organized, and patients were taken straight to their assigned doctors.

And since Axel owned the place, naturally, David himself escorted them down the quiet corridor.

Evelyn looked around in surprise. The entire OB-Gyn floor was nearly empty.

No patients, no nurses rushing by, nothing. Only the faint sound of machines humming behind walls.

Before she could ask why, a woman in a white coat hurried toward them. She looked to be in her late forties, elegant, composed, and clearly respected by the staff.

"Mr. Knight," she greeted with a warm smile. "Mrs. Knight... Welcome."

David gestured toward her. "This is Dr. Anna Cruise, the head of obstetrics and gynecology. She will be your attending physician from now on."

Evelyn smiles, "It’s nice to meet you, Dr. Cruise."

Anna smiled politely. "Ma’am, you can simply call me Dr. Anna."

"Sure..."

They walked together toward the procedure room. Axel kept his hand on the small of Evelyn’s back, guiding her gently.

Inside the room, Axel formally introduced Evelyn.

"Dr. Anna, please take care of my wife. This is our second pregnancy... But it was a long time ago, already five years ago. So I hope you can take care of her for me."

"Of course, sir, ma’am... No worry," Anna said.

Soon, Anna shifted smoothly into professional mode.

She led Evelyn to the bed, took her vitals, and started a gentle conversation to ease her tension.

Blood tests and urine samples were taken. Evelyn chatted with her, slowly growing more comfortable as she found her friendly and a good listener.

...

Meanwhile, Axel and David sat in the seating area outside the room.

David sighed loudly. "I still cannot believe you got married without inviting me."

"No one invited," Axel said calmly while checking something on his phone.

"Seriously?"

"I believe you know how my family and hers are, right?"

"Well, yes..." David admitted.

Axel glanced at him, "Nobody knew we were married...only recently did my family find out."

David believed him because he had known Axel since university days and trusted his honesty. He won’t ask for more details about how he became Evelyn’s husband or even had a son.

"By the way... Jackson said he is coming to your son’s birthday party. Yet I did not get an invitation."

"You will get yours," Axel said, with his deadpan expression. "When you stop complaining."

David laughed. "Ridiculous. I will wait for next year then..."

Didn’t take long; their conversation ended smoothly when Evelyn and Anna came back and joined them in the seating area.

Anna held a clipboard as she said, "We will have the results out very soon, Mr. Knight."

"We can’t get the answer now?" Axel frowned.

Before Anna said anything, David chimed in, "We need to wait a few more minutes for the urine test and the blood test."

Axel looked at Evelyn. "It looks like we need to wait..."

Evelyn remained silent, merely nodding slightly with a knowing smile.

"Man, you can wait in my office. I will prepare coffee." David offered.

Axel shook his head. "No need. Send the results to my email."

"You really do not want coffee? It’s free."

"No."

David looked personally offended. "My coffee machine costs more than my car."

"Good. That means you’re a man with an excellent taste for coffee."

David glared at Axel. Axel ignored him.

Anna and Evelyn try hard not to laugh when they hear them.

With everything settled, Axel stood and took Evelyn’s hand. He gently kissed her hand before he said, "Alright, we will head home now." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

David sighed dramatically behind them, but still escorted them to the private exit.
