I kept silent, started eating that nice sandwich. I tried to hypnotize myself that I wouldn't be able to get pregnant.But I immediately dropped the sandwich and said, "Damn it," as soon as I realized that Aunt Flo hadn't visited me in three months. I was too busy to notice it. Maybe I wasn't expecting Aunt Flo's visit, so I never cared too much about my period.My screams startled Lilianna, and she said, “What's going on?” And she looked worried about me.I stood up, a little confused, “No, I'm ok.”"Really? You just shouted,” she said.I clenched my hand, trying to calm down, “Of course, I'm ok. I just realized I made some mistakes in my report. And I handed it over to my boss without realizing them.”I carefully watched Lilianna's face, it was weird as she smiled and gave me a suspicious look.What did her expression mean? Did she know I was lying or do I feel stupid not to be able to recognize my mistake?She shrugged, “Don't worry too much.”I laughed, “Yeah.”Lilianna focused on
And then I was completely confused. The doctors looked at me in amazement, and Ivor was frowning, and I didn't know if he was angry or surprised.“Oh… oh… good afternoon,” I whiffed the chief doctor's hand. “Sorry, I was so surprised I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw you, Dr. Spencer. I've read so many articles about you and your achievements, I really admire you.”The chief doctor laughed, the air between us became more comfortable, and I whispered.“I didn't know you were so admiring him,” Ivor said comfortably.“Of course, being a doctor was my dream when I was a child, and growing up, I still admire talented doctors,” I tried to be comfortable.Actually, I didn't admire doctors, and I hated hospitals. Ever since I was a kid, I'd been a healthy kid, and I didn't get sick very much. Until one day, I fell and broke my arm while climbing an orange tree in my garden. And then I was taken to the hospital and had to stay there for two days. My parents were too busy, and I had to slee
His unequivocal actions were an answer to me – He would accompany me to the hospital and no one could change his mind.I was so nervous that I bit my fingernails. I needed a useful alternative to this.If Ivor found out I was pregnant…But wait, if he really knew I was pregnant, he couldn't know who the baby's father was if I didn't tell him the truth.Why didn't I think of that sooner? All I did was worry, worry and worry even more.I took a deep breath and tried to loosen my body.If he asked about the baby's father, I had the right to be silent. Obviously, the only thing I need was confidence.The hospital was not crowded but the smell of disinfectant and the cold light in this place made me feel uncomfortable and wanted to go home. I moved closer to Ivor.“Are you cold?” Ivor asked, looking as if he was paying attention to my little move."No," I said.I was just following him, watching carefully and I happened to see an old friend of mine coming out of a room for a doctor, she wa
“Ivor…,” I said, surprised at his unexcused anger.What had happened?“Do you know anything about your current health status?” He asked in a cold voice.I was surprised by that question. Why would he ask me that? Did he know I was pregnant?I carefully watched everything around me, it seemed like I had just been admitted to the hospital and had not been examined.So I said, “Of course, I'm fine.” I cautiously confronted Ivor's icy gaze and asked, “What's the matter?”Ivor grinned and spoke in an ironic tone as if he were trying to contain his anger, “Fine? You're fine. Are you lying to me?” And then he said angrily, "You're pregnant, but your health report this morning didn't show that? Lia, what did you do with that health report?”I bit my lips, not wanting to answer, but Ivor waited patiently. We were silent for a moment.“So who is the father of the baby?” Ivor sighed and asked, his angry gaze still facing me.“I…”, I froze for a moment and didn't know how to answer.So he knew th
After Ivor left, I was tired and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was dark outside.When I sat indifferently in bed and didn't know what to do next, I stumbled across my health report on the bedside table. The baby's status was very good, although I was exhausted and fed up before, even I was diagnosed as undernourished and stressed for a long time.Does this prove that my baby is very strong?Maybe the baby really wanted to stay with me.I rub my abdomen, my feelings became soft. I felt the connection between me and my baby for the first time, and I felt the hope of a happy new family.I had dinner in my room later. I tried to eat more even though I was sick. Lilianna came after I finished my dinner.She stood at the door and looked at me. I could easily feel her eyes becoming unsympathetic.Well, anyway, she's always been an erratic girl. She may be angry with you but then become friendly with you immediately inexplicably. That's my experience.“Good evening, Lia, my lovely assistant
Third person's POV Bruce was sitting on the couch and relaxed his body. He tried to focus on the financial news broadcast on television, trying not to let himself be disturbed by the grumbling of his mother, who was sitting next to him. “Your father took away all the money and went looking for that bitch. He hasn't even spoken to me for two days,”Bruce's mother retorted. “That whore's son received a mansion from him just because he wanted to celebrate his birthday there.” She took a sip of tea, then looked at Bruce when he had completely focused on the financial news. His disregard completely exasperated her. She put her teacup down on the table, took the remote and turned off the television. Bruce frowned, looking at her. “Bruce, did you hear what I said?” She said. “Yeah, of course, Mom. My father is so generous,” he said casually. "What? What the hell are you thinking? He, my father, brought his family's money to a whore and her fucking son. And you're here, calm down and th
“I heard you had to go to the hospital, so I came to visit you,” Bruce approached me, shrugging his shoulders. “But the receptionist said there weren't any patients in the hospital named Lia Reyes.”I opened my eyes wider in surprise. I had been in this hospital for days, but my name still wasn't on the patient list?Maybe the hospital's system went wrong."How are you doing? What did your doctor say about your health condition? I was worried about you,” Bruce said. He looked worried.I looked away when I saw his worried eyes."No, I'm fine. I'm just overworked,” I said and tried to be natural. I didn't want anyone but me and Ivor to know that I was pregnant. If my parents knew that, everything would be terrible.Bruce sighed, I could feel that he was still looking at me, “Lia, you should love yourself more.” Then he sat down next to me, leaned back on the bench and closed his eyes.I relaxed, sitting comfortably. I didn't respond to Bruce, but he said nothing. The sun was already at
Ivor and I went for a walk in the hospital garden. We walked shoulder to shoulder, no one said anything that made the atmosphere between us was like a vacuum. I felt confused as to how to break the silence, but I quickly let myself focus on enjoying the walk.We went back to my room when I felt sleepy.Before Ivor left, he said while I was surfing my phone, “I'll come pick you up at the mansion tomorrow morning.”“What about your job?” I asked. Ivor is a hard worker, he usually starts his work at 6 am . “You don't have to pick me up, give me the address, I'll get there myself.”“But I'll be worried,” Ivor said. His voice was soft.I looked at him in surprise. Would he be worried? About what?“Come on,” I said.Ivor just laughed, “Good night, and I'll still pick you up tomorrow morning.” And he left.The next morning, he went to the hospital as soon as I had finished eating breakfast.“You're on time, I just finished eating my breakfast,” I said, and the guards escorted us to the car.
