The meal was a hearty one. They chatted as they ate, with Davis clearly steering the conversation away from the impending launch.
Before the meal ended, Davis made a phone call—he had arranged for a doctor to come over for a brief check-up on Jessica. Hearing this, her heart thudded with trepidation, but Davis had promised to stay with her throughout.
Though she had always resisted treatment, she couldn't help but worry. She knew pregnancy came with symptoms —some mild, some severe, and while her expertise didn't lie in gynecology, she understood she had to seek the attention of experts in that field.
She might have refused again, but knowing Davis, his decision was final—especially when it came to her health. No amount of pleading would change that. Sometimes, she wondered why he wasn't strict with himself back in the day.
As Deborah came to clear the plates, Jessica stopped her.
"We're expecting a guest. If he arrives, lead him in," she instructed.
