Chapter 532 I Am Not Pregnant
“Anna, what brings you here? Did you come to visit me?” Alicia was pleased to see me when I arrived. She held my hand and led me to the living hall.
I flashed a faint smile and didn’t stop her as I tried to figure out a proper way to tell her about Janette. “You still haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to stay for dinner?” Alicia looked at me and smiled.
“There’s something I want to tell you.” My tone got serious when I thought of Janette. “What is it?” Alicia’s smile vanished when she noticed the change in my voice and expression.
“I bumped into Janette today, and I noticed she was retching repeatedly.”
I then paused for a moment. As someone with a lot of experience, I believed Alicia would have guessed what I wanted to say.
As expected, her face changed upon hearing that. She looked a little dumbfounded and worried. “You’re saying Janette is pregnant?”
Her expression stiffened almost instantly after asking the question.
I replied, “I’m not sure, but I told her what I thought. I told her to get a thorough check-up at the hospital today, but she refused to listen to me. I have no choice but to tell you about it.”
I took a glance at Alicia and noticed her face had turned pallid, but I continued, “It would be a relief for us if she’s not pregnant, but if she is, we have to start making plans. At this point, I think it’s best to ask her to make a trip to the hospital.”
My gut instinct told me that Janette was pregnant, but I could be wrong. As such, the best way to confirm her pregnancy was for her to get checked at a hospital.
I could see the worry in Alicia’s eyes when she looked at me. It took her a while to respond to what I had said. “All right. I’ll advise Janette to go to the hospital when she comes back. I’m afraid she’ll have a hard time accepting it if she’s really pregnant.”
Her eyes reddened when she uttered those words. I could tell she felt bad for Janette.
I could understand how Alicia felt. Besides accepting that someone had raped her daughter, she also had to deal with the possibility that her daughter might be pregnant.
“Don’t worry about it too much. Who knows, I could be wrong. We’ll find out if she’s pregnant once she gets a proper checkup at the hospital.” I inched closer and patted her shoulder after hesitating for a bit.
When Alicia was about to say something, I heard the sound of the door opening. Seconds later, Janette appeared before our eyes.
The moment Janette saw me, she became increasingly agitated. “What are you doing in my house? I don’t want to see you. Get out!”
In the past, Janette would have just ignored me. But I could tell she was mad at me because of what I said earlier.
I knitted my brows and was about to explode in anger. But after considering how weak her body was, I decided to let it slide.
