"Doctor, how is it?" Mrs. Brent came here too, and she was the first to ask the doctor.
The doctor looked at Franklin awkwardly and said, "The patient is fine. She's just... on her period. She's not pregnant."
At first, they were scared when Jason called, saying that the patient might miscarry, so they were ready. They didn't expect that she was not pregnant at all but just on her period.
The doctor was also speechless. This was probably the biggest snafu he had encountered this year.
"What?" Mrs. Brent cried out, "She's not pregnant? That woman was faking her pregnancy to get into my family?"
The doctor did not dare to speak and left quickly.
Mrs. Brent turned livid and shouted at Franklin, "There you are, you see? This girl is not innocent! She tricks you into marrying her with a fake pregnancy. Fortunately, you don't have a wedding but just get a marriage certificate. Tomorrow...no now, go and divorce her. Luckily, Ivy will be back soon…"
"Please go home!" Franklin stopped her.
Mrs. Brent said so much, but he just drove her out. She's irritated.
So she shouted, "Don't you hear my words? What the hell are you thinking? Don't you want to dump this woman after she used a fake pregnancy to deceive you?"
"I told you to go back home." Franklin roared.
Mrs. Brent was stunned by his roar.
By the time she came to her senses, Franklin had already entered the emergency room. Mrs. Brent was so angry that she trembled, but she did not dare to rush in and talk to him again, so she left reluctantly.
Emily wasn't in a coma but just on her period. She thought she'd had a miscarriage, which made her so scared that she almost passed out. Nonetheless, she was relieved when she heard that she was only on her period. She lay on the operating table still, not caring that she was still bleeding.
"Can you get up?" Franklin said coldly when he walked in and saw that she was still lying there.
Emily looked at him and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
All of a sudden, she felt that all of these were ridiculous with an indescribable sense of embarrassment.
Franklin married her because she was pregnant. Now that she wasn't pregnant, she would be suspected of coaxing him into marriage.
Although she wasn't the one who said she was pregnant at first, she was the one who had to take the blame now.
"I'm sorry," Emily said after a long time.
"Sorry for what?" Franklin snorted.
"I... I'm not pregnant."
"I know. The hospital made a mistake. There was another patient who had the same name as you. I took the wrong report. It's my fault." Franklin said coldly.
Emily said shamefully, "But it's also my fault. My period is always irregular. This time it was delayed for a long time, so I thought... I didn't expect it to be just postponed."
She made a mistake as well! She shouldn't believe it so easily when people said she was pregnant. The point was that her period didn't come regularly as well.
"Forget it, that's that. What's the use of apologizing? Get up! Don't lie on it." Franklin comforted her.
Emily clearly saw a sense of loss in his eyes.
It was right. How could he not be disappointed? She could tell how much Franklin was looking forward to this child.
Now that the child was gone, he should be the saddest one!
What would happen next?
He would definitely divorce her. How could their marriage continue without children?
Emily felt a little uncomfortable but also a little relieved.
To be honest, they were not well-matched. Divorce might not be a bad thing and they did not owe each other.
