A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 282

With a cold shiver, all of a sudden, a thought flashed through her mind.

Her brain desperately scrambled to remember the time of her last menstruation, as if it had been too long to recall in an instant.

'I think the last time I had my menstruation was...when I was with Rufus.

Gosh! I am such a careless dolt! I can't believe I'm only starting to realize this now!' Cassandra was shocked, shaking her head in disbelief.

She quickly changed into a pair of loose faded jeans and a comfortable tank top before rushing straight to the hospital.

After she had her blood drawn, she went to the waiting room, pacing about anxiously and waiting for the results. Her face conveyed an arresting spectrum of ambivalent emotions. She was torn in between overwhelming joy and soul-crushing nervousness.

When the test results came out, she looked at the astonishing figures and then became extremely excited, as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

'There is a baby in my womb. Oh my God! I'm going to be a mother!' It was the first time she had felt a sensation of this magnitude.

Overwhelming relief and joy engulfed Cassandra. Her first reaction was to take out her cell phone and call Rufus as soon as possible.

She was so familiar with his phone number that she dialled his number into her cell phone from her memory even if she had deleted his phone number.

The telephone kept ringing with distracting regularity, but there was no answer.

She called him again, but the response was the same as just now.

'Is Rufus in a meeting?' she wondered.

Cassandra knew him well enough to learn that his phone would be muted during a meeting.

'Well, he must be busy. Anyway, he'll call back when he sees my number.' She decided to let the matter rest.

Clutching the test result to her chest, her heart beat wildly. She trembled with excitement and anxiety.

"Cassandra!"

Dylon, who coincidentally was passing by this floor, saw Cassandra standing by the window with her face full of excitement and came to say hello to her.

"Dylon!"

she cried out, her voice trembling with excitement.

"You sound so happy. What's the good news?"

Driven by her cheerful smile, he wondered what all the excitement was about.

"Look at this!"
