"Pre...pregnant?" Colin hit by this shocking news. He had just been woken up for nearly four hours, the news totally destroyed his calm.
The nurse said with regret, "One of the twins has stopped the fetal heart, but it does not affect the development of the other. She just needs to have a rest these days. Don't be so worried."
"..."
The nurse had something to do, and gave Colin some advice, then leaving Colin looking at the list with a distressful face.
He couldn't understand the list, just knowing that Harriet was pregnant with twins, and a fetal heart stopped.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Harriet woke up.
"Harriet, are you ok?" Colin was sitting by the side. When Harriet woke up, he hurried to help her up, poured a cup of warm water and passed it to her, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
Harriet shook her head and drank the water. She felt much more comfortable. "It was probably I had not enough rest in the past few days. I am sorry that you have to look after me as you just wake up short time ago."
"Harriet, it's not true." Colin was also not good at concealing, and gave the list to Harriet. "The doctor said that you are pregnant with twins."
Harriet was choked and seemed to be frightened with a frozen smile, "Colin, are you kidding me?"
"No, I am not joking!"
Harriet was convinced that he was not lying by his serious face, and took the list to check it.
Her face got paler when she caught the last few lines of words.
She had done a good job to prevent herself from pregnancy whether she and Wesley made love at home or outside for the two years. She feared that he would be unhappy for her pregnancy. She didn't want a baby, neither.
How could she be pregnant? She even did not sense it!
"Harriet, don't be sad." Colin thought that she was upset about the dead fetal heart, holding her hand to comfort her, "The nurse said that the dead fetal heart did not affect the development of the other fetal heart. As long as you take a good rest during these days, your baby will be fine."
