Chapter 502: Making ns.


    When Jen heard him say they were getting married next week, she wanted to protest, but for some reason, she stayed quiet and just looked at Lucas whose face did not look like he was wee to make any form of discussion. It was non-negotiable. He was informing her at this point, not asking for permission anymore.


    Lucas was not going to budge on this, he was hoping that she wouldn''t resist him this time and go along with his n. The two of them had a long moment of silence as they stared at each other. Jen pursed her lips together as she looked at Lucas before smiling.


    "I''ll listen to you," Jen agreed and Lucas breathed out in relief. It was very nerve wracking for him. Seeing how nervous he actually was, Jen couldn''t help butugh at him. Since they got pregnant ahead of time, they might as well get married ahead of time.


    "But isn''t next week too soon?" Jen asked as she looked at how Lucas was ying with her fingers.


    "If it was up to me we would do it tomorrow, but out of respect for our parents, I pushed it to next week. When you wake up tomorrow, call your mother, I''ll let my father know as well, I''ll tell our friends as well," Lucas said with a shallow smile.


    If Jen was six weeks pregnant, then it meant she had gotten pregnant when he had gone back for their engagement. It was good that the baby was alright, he was also d that they hadn''t gone wild with their drinking during this time, he would have felt guilty if something happened because of it.


    "No more wine" Lucas said with a smile and Jenughed.


    "Mmmh," Jen responded.


    "I''ll join you with abstaining," Lucas said and Jen only smiled. She wanted to see if he really would especially during their wedding.


    "You don''t have to," Jen said good naturedly.


    "Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?" Lucas asked her and Jen''s eyes sparkled.


    "Let''s go to a tropical ind, with beaches and everything," Jen said with an anticipatory smile. Lucas nodded and smiled. He would have to talk to his father to get a break from work and apply for a two week leave from his university.


    "Okay, I''ll have everything arranged," Lucas said and smoothened out her hair.


    "You rest first, we''ll go home tomorrow morning," Lucas said and stayed next to her until she fell asleep once more. He then got up from the chair and left the ward calling Martin.


    Martin who was asleep at home, was woken up by his ringing phone, since he was Lucas''s assistant he had to be on call 24/7 he was surprised because this was the first time he received a call sote in the night from his boss.


    "Hello?" he said as soon as he answered. He tried to sound as awake as possible but Lucas could still tell that he had been sleeping.


    "Sorry to wake you up, there''s something I want you to work on as soon as possible," Lucas said as he leaned against the snow white wall in the corridor. The entire floor was silent and there weren''t any movements unlike the other floors in the hospital.


    "Yes sir," Martin said even more awake.


    "I want a list of houses that are currently in the market, also contact a wedding nner who can arrange something for next Saturday," Lucas said. With the first request Martin was still not too surprised, but the wedding nner request woke him up immediately.


    "Congrattions sir," Martin said and Lucas who had been serious before couldn''t help butugh happily.


    "Thank you," Lucas said, a smile still on his face.


    "I''ll send the information to your email tomorrow, would you like me to bring it to you to the hotel?" Martin asked.


    "No need, I''d rather you visit the properties instead," Lucas said and Martin agreed with him. After giving him a few more orders, the call finally ended.


    Lucas opened the door to the ward and looked at the sleeping Jen before taking off his shirt and belt and climbing on to the other bed in the room. Since they started living together, they had never slept like this before, and on a normal night, he probably wouldn''t have been able to stand it. But he was so exhausted that he fell asleep the moment his head hit the pillow.


    The following morning, Lucas was woken up the moment the door to the ward was opened by the nurse. She hade to check Jen''s IV several times during the night and had seen how he had slept like a log, so when he was startled awake now, she also got flustered.


    "Good morning sir," she greeted in a hushed voice.


    "Mmmh," Lucas responded as he sat up and put on his shirt as he sleepily watched what she was doing. The nurse quickly reced the IV before leaving the room. Lucas then got off the bed and went to check on Jen. Her colour was much better than it was yesterday. He pushed away the few hairs that fell on her face. He smiled when he remembered the previous day''s good news and went to the bathroom to freshen up.


    When the bathroom door closed, Jen''s eyes also opened. She blinked a few times from disorientation before she yawned and stretched her body. As she looked around, she realised that she did not have her phone with her. She also noticed that Lucas was not around.


    She didn''t have time to think about what he was doing before the bathroom door opened and Lucas came out while wiping his face.


    "Good morning," Jen said with a sleepy smile and Lucas smiled back at her.


    "Good morning sweetheart," Lucas said as he all but floated next to her and kissed her forehead.


    "I want to take a shower," Jenined and Lucasughed. He also wanted to shower, but the thought of putting on his dirty clothes was distasteful.


    "Me too, I didn''t bring a change of clothes, it also won''t be easy with that thing," Lucas said as he pointed at the stand that was holding the IV.


    "I could help you shower though," Lucas said after some thought and Jen shook her head.


    "I''ll just freshen up a bit, after the doctor clears me then you can go start the discharge processes," Jen said and Lucas nodded as he helped her out of the bed and into the bathroom. He opened a new disposable toothbrush for her and put some toothpaste on it for her and was on standby in case she needed any help from him.


    "I''m not disabled Lucas, you can go get something to eat, you must be starving," Jen mumbled with foam still in her mouth.


    "I''m still nervous about you passing out on your own," Lucas said and Jen made eye contact with him through the bathroom window and didn''t push him anymore. She knew if she was in his shoesst night she would have panicked. Especially since she wasn''t in the position where she could instinctively carry him to the car. She would have either had to wait for the ambnce or ask the hotel staff for help. She didn''t want to imagine such a scenario at all.
