Chapter 5. Trying to win Axton's heart

As agreed with Doctor Jhonny, Angelina went straight to the doctor's room after arriving at the hospital. Angelina was already facing a man in a white coat, sitting with a serious face, blocked by a table.

"Are you sick? I see your face is very pale, ma'am," the doctor smiled a little while watching Angelina.

"I'm fine, Doctor Jhonny. Maybe it's because I'm walking too fast that my face is pale," Angelina replied.

Doctor Jhonny nodded slowly, then pulled a drawer under his desk, retrieving a white envelope with the hospital logo and lab results. "Please open this, Ms. Angelina," he said as he handed the envelope to its owner.

Instantly, Angelina took a deep breath. For the second time, she received an envelope containing lab results. I don't know, she suddenly became anxious.

"Doctor Jhon...." Angelina was silent again. She wanted to say something to the old man, but she quickly decided against it.

"Yes, how can I help you, Ms. Angelina?" Doctor Jhonny became suspicious of Angelina's not-so-relaxed demeanor.

"I don't think I need to tell Doctor Jhonny what happened last month. Let me investigate myself," Angelina said silently.

She tore off the end of the envelope and took out the piece of paper inside. She spread the lab results wide and read them with focus. The room fell silent.

In less than a minute, Angelina's reaction was shocking. She covered her mouth with the palm of her right hand and reflexively opened her mouth wide. Her gaze was intense as she found the sentence that concluded, "If the uterus is fine."

"Why, Ms. Angelina?" asked Doctor Jhonny, confused. "Sorry, is there something you don't understand about the letter?" he asked again.

"So... my uterus has been fine all this time, Doc?" asked Angelina in shock.

"Yes, of course. According to the information in the letter," explained Doctor Jhonny.

"Is this a sign that I can get pregnant?"

"Yes, of course you can. Maybe it's just a matter of time. Try asking your husband to have intercourse during the fertile period," said the doctor.

"But..." Angelina suddenly hesitated.

"But what, Mrs. Angelina?"

"It's okay, Doctor Jhonny. Thank you very much; please excuse me." Angelina rose from her seat, shook hands with Doctor Jhonny, and smiled sincerely in farewell.

After leaving the hospital, Angelina ordered a taxi. She wanted to go somewhere that might change her appearance a little so that Axton would be interested in her again.

Throughout the ride, she cried tears of joy while stroking her flat stomach. She was going to prove to the Almero family that her uterus was fine.

"Tonight I have a date with Axton. I have to look beautiful, smell good, and be charming. Hopefully Axton can love me again," Angelina said silently.

Angelina would make sure that after she became pregnant, Moreen's position was in danger of being discarded by the Almero family. She could not lose to a woman who dared to snatch her husband.

However, there was a big doubt in her heart. If Angelina told Axton about the lab results from Dr. Jhonny, would he believe her? That it turned out that the condition of her uterus was fine.

***

The clock struck eight in the evening. It had been about five hours since Angelina entered the beauty salon. The feeling of boredom is definitely there, considering she doesn't really like self-care.

However, Angelina was completely satisfied with the results. Her hair, which was messy, is now straight and shiny. Her face also looks bright and radiant.

"Great results," Angelina said, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Hey, arrogant Mr. Axton. Look at your already beautiful wife, can you resist my charms?" Angelina monologued to herself.

The ringing of the cell phone startled the owner. Angelina immediately pulled her cell phone out of her bag. "Axton" was on the screen. She smiled happily and then answered the phone call from her husband.

"Where are you, Angelina?" Without further ado, Axton immediately asked in a baritone voice.

"I'm still outside, darling," Angelina smiled, embarrassed.

"Hurry home!" Axton ordered.

"Why, did you miss me?" Angelina teased.

"I don't like jokes!" insisted Axton.

"I have a surprise for you, darling. Wait for me to get home."

Angelina switched off the phone unilaterally. Her heart was beating furiously as she couldn't wait to show her husband the lab results.

"Do you know where Moreen went?"

Axton's first question made Angelina frown. She couldn't understand why Axton was asking her about Moreen's whereabouts. What made Angelina even more jealous was that Axton's face looked very worried about Moreen's condition.

In fact, Angelina had just come home and set foot in the living room.

"Moreen's cell phone has been off all day. He left the house because he had a fight with you this morning!" Axton accused.

"You always blame me!" Angelina replied angrily.

"You're clearly at fault, Angelina! Moreen must be offended by your attitude!"

"It's none of my business! She's already taken my husband, I won't stay silent!"

"You!" Axton raised his right hand, about to hit Angelina on the cheek. However, he immediately stopped himself.

"Why don't you hit me? Come on, hit me!" Instead of reducing Axton's anger, Angelina challenged the man.

Axton slowly lowered his hand. His logic really hates Angelina. But somehow his heart was against it all.

"If you have no business, let me rest!" he said as he walked away from Axton.

Angelina's long legs stepped quickly up the stairs, feeling very disappointed with Axton's welcome. Despite her efforts to look beautiful, it was Moreen who was asked for. She mistakenly thought that a day's treatment at the beauty salon did not change Axton's hatred for her.

The original intention to surprise him with the lab results eventually failed. Angelina couldn't possibly interfere when the handsome man was emotionally unstable.

Now, Angelina was in the room, lying on her side on the mattress while hugging the bolster pillow. She was silent, with a blank stare ahead. She imagined a moment that should have been beautiful, but had now passed. She should have embraced Axton's burly body tonight. Making love to her husband was something Angelina had longed for.

The sound of the door opening roughly made Angelina turn her head. Axton was seen walking quickly while reaching for the car keys on the nightstand.

"Where are you going?" asked Angelina, who was now slowly sitting on the bed.

"Picking up Moreen!" replied Axton, looking panicked.

"Why don't you let her go home by herself, Axton? How spoiled is that woman!" grumbled Angelina.

"Moreen has been kidnapped! And I must free him immediately!" said Axton as he ran out of the room, not noticing the look on Angelina's face.
