A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1295

Zoe felt pained even as she remembered how queasy she was in the morning.

Fortunately, her beer soon arrived, and the sight of it allowed her to forget the discomfort in her mind.

She took the bottle and poured herself a glass, but before she could drink, Jay snatched the glass off her hands. "You can't drink anymore, Zoe."

Zoe did a double take but snorted unhappily, "Why?! I'm beat—can't I unwind?"

"For the sake of your health, you shouldn't drink now."

"What about my health? Don't worry, I'm not actually sick—"

"You might be pregnant," Jay said slowly and clearly.

Everyone including Zoe was left gaping.

"W-What?! I… We… It's not that easy, right?!" she blabbed, too agitated to be coherent.

"When's the last time you had your period?" Jay asked.

"Around the tenth of last month?"

Zoe was not sure about the specific date or time since she did not bother to keep track of it—it would just happen once a month anyway.

"The twelfth," Jay said precisely then.

"I think so." Zoe shrugged guiltily, surprised that Jay would remember.

"And what day do you think today is?"

Zoe whipped out her phone to check. "The twenty-eighth…?"

Whoops.

That was more than ten days late—she had no idea!

The mood around the table tensed up as everyone listened to their exchange.

And considering Zoe's strange behavior today, it had to be so.
