That day, Caden Hawthorne accompanied Vivian Lynch to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. The hospital was bustling with people, and Caden carefully supported Vivian, afraid she might have any mishap. They arrived at the obstetrics and gynecology department and queued up for the check-up. Vivian looked at the other expecting mothers around her, feeling warmth and anticipation swelling in her heart. She gently stroked her belly, sensing the baby’s movements inside. Caden, on the other hand, looked at Vivian nervously, his eyes full of concern. "Honey, are you tired?" Vivian smiled and shook her head. "I’m not tired, don’t worry, I’m just a bit thirsty." Hearing this, Caden remembered there was a vending machine in the hospital hallway. So he helped Vivian to a nearby resting chair and said, "Wait here for me a moment, I’ll go get you some water." Vivian smiled and nodded, "Okay." Caden had just reached the vending machine and was about to insert coins to buy water when he suddenly heard a familiar voice. "Caden? Is that really you?" Yvonne York approached with a look of surprise on her face. Caden frowned slightly and glanced at her coldly, "What are you doing here?" Yvonne lowered her head slightly, speaking softly, "I wasn’t feeling well, so I came to the hospital for a check-up. Didn’t expect to run into you here." "Is there something you need?" Caden still maintained a cold gaze. Yvonne glanced behind him, noticing Vivian was not there, and deliberately asked, "Caden, why are you at the hospital alone? Where’s Vivian? She’s already eight months along, right? Is she due soon?" Caden responded in an icy tone, "That’s none of your business. Please step aside, I have something to do." Yvonne did not seem inclined to leave; instead, she stepped closer, looking aggrieved, "Caden, don’t be ! I was just concerned for you both. After all, we have known each other since we were kids." "Friendship?" Hearing this, Caden sneered, "I’m afraid Miss York is just being overly sensitive?" Upon hearing this, Yvonne’s face turned slightly pale, biting her lip as though she had suffered great wrong, her eyes reddening, "Caden, do we really have to speak to each other ?" The last time, Caden had asked her out only to test her. Now, Caden felt there was no need to get entangled with her any further. Impatiently, Caden said, "Yvonne York, we don’t need your concern. I’m warning you, stay away from Vivian. Otherwise..." A trace of unwillingness flashed in Yvonne’s eyes, and just as she was about to say something more, she saw Vivian approaching from not far away, holding a report. With a flicker of calculation in her eyes, she quickly grabbed Caden’s arm, "Caden, I feel so dizzy!" Caden glared at her coldly, instinctively wanting to shake off her hand. "What is it? Trying to stage an act?" Just then, Yvonne suddenly closed her eyes and pretended to faint into Caden’s arms. Caden instinctively wanted to push her away, hesitating, but then he heard Vivian’s exclamation from behind, dropping the report in her hand. "Honey, what are you two doing?" Vivian saw the scene from afar, a pang hit her heart, and tears welled up instantly. The water, he said he’d buy, was just an excuse to embrace Yvonne here? Thinking this, a flood of grievance surged in Vivian’s heart, and she turned to leave. Seeing Vivian’s departing figure, Caden panicked and hurriedly pushed Yvonne away. "Caden, I..." Yvonne opened her mouth, barely saying a word. Caden’s face turned dark, pointing sternly at her, his eyes fully of anger and warning, "Get lost, don’t let me see you again!" Startled by the warning, Yvonne recoiled a bit. The next second, Caden turned to chase after Vivian. "Vivian, let me explain," Caden shouted while pursuing. Seeing Caden chase after Vivian, Yvonne did not get angry but crouched down instead, picking up the report Vivian had dropped. "Is Vivian carrying twins?" Seeing the report, Yvonne tightened her grip, a hint of rage flashing in her eyes. "Why should all the good fortune fall upon her?" Unwillingness filled Yvonne, her heart burning with jealousy besides anger at Vivian. Yvonne gritted her teeth, resentment filling her heart. She watched Caden’s retreating back, secretly vowing she would make Vivian lose it all. At this moment, a man wearing a baseball cap and holding a camera approached Yvonne. "Did you capture all of it just now?" Yvonne asked calmly. "Yes, and very clearly too." "Great, thank you for your effort, here’s your reward." Saying this, Yvonne took out a thousand yuan and handed it to the man with the camera. The man was delighted, quickly taking it, "Thank you, Miss York." Getting a thousand yuan just for a photo felt incredibly profitable. Meanwhile, Caden was tightly chasing after Vivian. Vivian walked on, tears streaming down, full of grievance and sadness. "Vivian, let me explain; things weren’t as they seemed," Caden said anxiously. Vivian stopped, looking at him with red eyes. "Then tell me how it was? I saw her in your arms with my own eyes." Caden quickly explained, "She fainted on purpose, I was about to push her away when you suddenly appeared." Vivian wiped her tears, saying irritably, "What do you mean by suddenly appeared? Was I not supposed to show up? You were already holding her, and why was she at the hospital? In what world would such a coincidence happen?" Caden looked helpless, anxiously holding Vivian by the shoulders, "I don’t know why she was at the hospital either, Vivian, I truly didn’t hold her, she approached me deliberately, you have to believe me, my heart is with you and the baby." Vivian was silent for a moment, the grievances in her heart gradually dissipating. She knew Caden’s feelings for her and believed he wouldn’t betray her. "Is that true?" Vivian sniffed, her eyes still red. Caden hurriedly pulled her into his arms, "Vivian, it’s true, I promise I’ll keep my distance from her in the future. Vivian, you must believe me." "Okay, I believe you. But you mustn’t have any contact with her again." Hesitating for a moment, Vivian forgave Caden, snuggling into his embrace. Caden breathed a sigh of relief, holding Vivian tightly. "I understand, honey. I’ll be more careful in the future, and I won’t let something happen again." They embraced each other, slowly resolving the misunderstanding. "Ah..." Suddenly, Vivian’s expression turned pained, her waist bending. "Honey, what’s wrong?" Caden instantly became tense, "Did you disturb the fetus?" Caden was about to call the doctor when Vivian felt better, quickly grabbing his hand, "Honey, I’m fine, it’s just that the baby inside kicked me." Only then did Caden breathe a sigh of relief, gently stroking Vivian’s belly. "These babies are too mischievous, scared me." Vivian smiled gently. "They must have sensed we were arguing and wanted to remind us to be good." Hearing this, Caden knelt down, pressing his face to Vivian’s round belly, whispering, "Babies, it’s Daddy’s fault, he shouldn’t have upset Mommy." With that, Caden looked remorsefully and gently stroked her belly, calming the babies down.

She gently stroked his hair, speaking softly, "That’s enough, I’m sure the babies felt your sincerity. We mustn’t fight in the future, or the babies will be unhappy." Caden stood up, holding her hand tightly, looking at her affectionately, "Mm, no matter what happens in the future, I’ll protect you both well."
