The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 580

"It's not uncomfortable. As long as you like it, you can sleep however you want."

She smiled, pressing her lips together. "Are you sure me crushing you like this isn't heavy?"

"With how light you are? Please."

In fact, he actually loved the feeling of having her "clinging" to him.

So, Vivica made it her permanent sleeping position.

As she draped her leg over him again, Joseph naturally rested his hand on her thigh.

With her eyes closed, Vivica mumbled, "In a few months, when my belly gets big, I won't be able to hug you like this anymore."

Once her stomach swelled like a balloon, there would literally be a physical barrier between them.

Joseph said easily, "Then I'll just hold you from behind."

Either way, they weren't sleeping apart.

Vivica didn't answer, just smiled to herself, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Early the next morning, as Joseph was leading Vivica out the door, he made a quick call to Harvey Murphy.

"Aren't you two rushing this a bit? Have you been following my instructions? Timing, positions—figuring out the optimal ovulation window is crucial, you know?"

Harvey sounded both exasperated and anxious on their behalf.

When normal couples struggled to conceive, they could afford to wait a year or two.

But these two were racing against time to save their oldest child; they literally couldn't afford to waste a single second.

"It's not about that. Just clear your schedule. We'll explain when we get there."

Joseph deliberately kept him in the dark, choosing not to mention the pregnancy over the phone so he could see his best friend's shocked reaction in person.

Hanging up, Joseph shot a smug smile toward the passenger seat.

Vivica gave him a look, realizing that the usually stoic Mr. Baird could actually be incredibly childish sometimes.

"Are you trying to give Dr. Murphy a surprise?"
