204 Visit to the Family Doctor

William called the driver and the car arrived in seconds. They drove to an impressive private clinic in the north of the city and Lina felt increasingly light-headed and anxious the longer they drove.

"Will, I'm worried."

"Don't be," he said patting her thigh, "He'll just ask some questions and confirm it."

Lina nodded silently and bit her tongue.

He had a relaxed smile on his face and he seemed very sure about what he was saying but Lina felt stressed.

The fact that this wasn't new for him made her feel slightly annoyed but she was relieved to see that he wanted a baby as much as she did.

...

The clinic was spotless and pristine as expected, he had taken her to one of the top doctors in the city, celebrated for his innovations in obstetrics and gynecology, or so the huge plaque on the wall said so.

Lina fidgeted with the hem on her floral blouse in the waiting room while Will gave the receptionist her details.
