The doctor nodded her head with a cheerful smile on her face. "Yes, a father. Who's the father of the child the patient is carrying? She's pregnant."
Erick: "..."
Charles: "..."
Both men fell silent for several seconds before their mind was able to process the doctor's words. Erick and Charles froze in their spot. The doctor just looked at them strangely, waiting for their response.
The doctor didn't know if she should cry or laugh because of their baffled expression. She knew that maybe they were shocked to hear this good news and no one expected this.
After a while, Erick finally found his voice, his eyes were still fixed at the doctor's smiling face as he held Charle's shoulder beside him.
"Charles, did you also hear that. Did the doctor said Elle is pregnant? I didn't mishear it right." Erick asked Charles. For the first time in his life, Erick looked like a fool after hearing those words.
