CHAPTER 424. A CAGE FOR THE QUEEN. A Woman Capable of Anything

Chiara lay back on the bed while Jhon sat beside her, squeezing her hand anxiously as Elías applied gel to her stomach. Dr. Martínez slowly moved the transducer over her abdomen, searching for the baby. Gradually, the contours of the skull appeared, followed by the shoulders, arms, and legs.

As more details of their little one became visible on the screen, Jhon glanced back and forth between it and Chiara, his eyes filled with awe. He still couldn’t quite believe what he was seeing—this was their baby.

After several moments of expectant silence, a heartbeat became clearly audible, and Jhon jolted with emotion.

"Is that...?" he asked, his voice breaking slightly.

Dr. Martínez smiled as he confirmed his question.

"Yes, that’s your baby’s heartbeat. It's strong, and you can hear it perfectly now."

Jhon and Chiara exchanged looks of pure joy and emotion, both knowing that this moment would forever be etched in their memories.
