"Why? Let me wipe your face!" William sighed.
"Don't, I'm crying ... William doesn't like women to cry ..." She whispered as helplessly as a child. "Hush, don't let him see!"
How William's heart ache! He almost shed a tear. How on earth was God going to get her back?
We stay together to be happy, and break up to ease the pain. You could no longer make me happy, so I had to leave. When I left, it was painful too. Only, you must have suffered more than I did, because I was the one who said goodbye first. I was the one who sought happiness first! --
Sherry didn't expect to meet Keegan and to have her colleagues at work see her bawling so much. For a while, she was embarrassed.
Her eyes were red and swollen from crying for so long, and she had more nausea in her throat. She even got a little dizzy when she stood up.
Keegan held her up with one hand. He didn't ask her why she was crying, he just said softly, "Where are you going? I'll take you back!"
"I ..." Sherry wobbled, tried to stand still, but didn't expect to get even more dizzy.
"Are you okay?" Seeing her face abnormally white and crying like this, Keegan didn't hesitate to pick her up. "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Sherry tried to struggle to get down, but she didn't have the strength. She hadn't eaten in the morning, hadn't eaten last night, and had cried so heavily for so long. She had been malnourished for the past month or so, and was now even more weakened.
But being held by Keegan drew sideways glances from passers-by, Sherry was nervous and scared, "Keegan, put me down!"
"Put you down and then watch you faint?" Keegan whispered with concern. "Alright, the car is in front! I'll take you to the hospital. Are you anemic?"
Regardless of what Sherry said, Keegan carried her directly towards the car by the teahouse.
When they just reached the car, three people came out of the teahouse. The one in the middle was a middle-aged man in a black suit, who looked imposing and cold. He froze slightly when he saw Sherry and Keegan, then revealed a cold smile.
"Miss Murray, I wondered why you didn't say yes, so it turns out you had a choice!" John's low and sarcastic words made Sherry felt as if a knife were piercing her heart.
Keegan didn't pay any attention to John, but pulled open the car door and put Sherry in the passenger seat, helped her to fasten the seat belt, and then closed the car door.
Sherry saw the anger in John's eyes through the car window. Her heart actually fluttered, then she suddenly opened the car door, "Uncle, please send my son, Dan, back!"
Keegan just looked at John and said to Sherry, "Let's go pick up Dan after we see the doctor!"
Sherry shrank back into the car while John's face got worse.
Keegan had come to pick up tea for his adoptive father, but he never expected to meet Sherry. Instead of picking up the tea, he started the car and disappeared right in front of John and his assistant's eyes.
"Riley, call William and inform him that his woman is being taken by another man! They're going to have an affair now!" After saying this in a somber voice, John surprised even himself by saying the word "affair"!
"Master?" Riley was in a quandary. It wasn't clear that Mr. Rowland was in love with her. Master was exaggerating! But Riley still made a call to William.
"Hello! Mr. Rowland, Miss Murray is cheating on you with a tall, indifferent man!" Riley almost hung up the phone straight away sheepishly after saying this. "Mr. Rowland, that's all. Master is calling me!"
After saying that, without waiting for William to say anything, Riley hung up the phone.
William was dumbfounded to receive such a call out of the blue! He hurriedly found Sherry's number and dialed it with trembling hands. But the phone went unanswered.
Sherry was admitted to the hospital and Keegan insisted that the doctor give her a full body check-up.
"Keegan, I'm fine. I'm really fine!" She actually knew what was going on, and she just didn't want anyone to know that she might be pregnant.
But the doctor laughed, "Miss, your boyfriend is worried about you. You'd better have a full body check-up. You look a little weak!"
"Doctor, no ... he's not my boyfriend!" Sherry explained.
Keegan's eyes, however, flickered. He turned his head and said coldly and dominantly, "Doctor, give her a full body checkup!"
"Uh! Sorry, I don't know ..."
The doctor gave a series of prescriptions, but Sherry simply said, "Doctor, check my HCG levels. I think that's the problem!"
The doctor was stunned and froze, "You know so much, miss! You even know the technical terms! How many days have you had your period?"
Sherry froze and glanced back at Keegan. It was really embarrassing for her to have him here. So she said to him, "Keegan, can you go out first?"
Keegan was confused but didn't want to go out.
"Please!" Sherry said again.
"Fine! Call me if you need anything!"
As soon as he left, Sherry immediately said, "It's been 2 weeks. I just remembered that too. I think I might be pregnant!"
"Well, if you are pregnant, morning sickness will show up at exactly forty days! The fetus is too small for an ultrasound right now. How about this, you do a test first. If the test paper shows positive, we'll do a blood test!" The doctor quickly prescribed a test paper.
Sherry took the sheet, paid the money, and collected the test paper. Keegan, however, watched dumbfounded as she walked towards the bathroom. By the time the result came out, Sherry was really dumbfounded!
She was really pregnant!
Then she had another blood test. The HCG level was just right and the doctor ruled out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.
As Sherry stared blankly at the result, Keegan glanced at it as well. It read that the biochemical pregnancy was about six weeks old. (Usually, six weeks of pregnancy in this context means from the first day of the last menstrual period. Usually one will experience nausea and vomiting and other reactions to early pregnancy at 6-8 weeks of pregnancy!
"You're pregnant?" Keegan was dumbfounded!
Could it be the man from last night, William?
