Her Life Starts to Spin out of Control novel Chapter 256

Dorothy nodded abruptly. Her mother was her ultimate counselor and she would do whatever her mother told her so. She knew her mother was more experienced and intelligent.

"Have you already sent Sophia an invitation card of your wedding?" Marcella finished putting medicine on her daughter's wounds and closed the medical kit.

"It has been done a long time ago. She said she would come. I don't know if she will be true to her words." She was pleased at the thought of marrying Colin with Sophia witnessing all the proceedings. She wanted her to get so envious.

After their wedding, she would never be belittled by Sophia. After all, Sophia would be just an ex-wife by then.

Marcella suddenly paused and froze for a while. 'Will Sophia embarrass herself by attending her ex-husband's wedding? Or will she just cause a scene that will embarrass us instead?' She thought seriously to herself. She hastily put the medical kit inside the cabinet and told her daughter, "Find somebody to keep close watch on Sophia at your wedding. She shouldn't make any trouble or even an uproar. As far as I'm concerned, lots of distinguished guests will be there that day. That shows Colin's respect to us. I will not let Sophia ruin the big day of our family."

"You're right. When Sophia married Colin, they got their marriage certificate secretly. It was in low profile. Now, he has prepared a grand wedding ceremony for me. Mom, I think Colin treats me in a more important sense than Sophia, right?" Dorothy seemed to think of something and lowered her head, timidly expecting a positive response from her mother.

Marcella thought for a moment but she didn't rush to answer the question. Then, she asked, "Did Colin ever tell you when will you get your marriage certificate?"

"Yes, he told me that we could do that the day after our wedding. He assured me of that already."

"That's good news! It seems that he does treat you differently." Marcella's imagination made both of them walk on air. They suddenly became so proud of themselves.

Then Dorothy accidentally touched her wound and it ached so much. She decided, "Mom, let's go to the hospital. I can't risk any infections on these wounds."

"OK", her mother answered in a very concerned tone.

They went to the Chengyang Private Hospital together. Before Dorothy was vaccinated, Marcella suddenly grabbed the nurse's arm and stopped her.

"What's up? What are you doing, Mom?" Dorothy asked, obviously very confused. Both Dorothy and the nurse looked at Marcella curiously.

Marcella thought for a while then asked Dorothy, "When did you have your most recent period?"

Dorothy wondered as to her mother's intention behind this question and hesitatingly responded with another question, "Mom, why are you asking this? I don't know. I think the maid has been keeping records of that for me."

It's true. The maid would prepare the necessary things for Dorothy several days before her period. That was how Dorothy was taken care of in their home.

But a light flashed in Dorothy's eyes. She added, "Although I can't really remember the date of my last period, I think a long time has already passed! It's really unusual..."

Then, both Dorothy and Marcella asked the doctor to arrange a pregnancy test. They had to be really careful now. But the nurse wanted to get Dorothy vaccinated first.

Marcella asked as she was being very careful of her daughter's condition, "Can a pregnant woman be injected this kind of vaccine? I'm just being careful."

"Yes. This vaccine won't hurt the mother nor the baby. You don't have to worry about that." The nurse's explanation set their hearts at ease. As a result, Dorothy was vaccinated before receiving the pregnancy test.

Half an hour later, Dorothy came rushing to her mother and hugged her excitedly, "Mom, I'm pregnant! I'm with Colin's baby! We are having a baby!"

Marcella nodded so happily as she seemed to imagine mountains of gold and silver at their house.

However, Marcella's expression suddenly changed as she took the test report from Dorothy's hands. It said that Dorothy was already in the 7th week of her pregnancy. That meant one thing: Dorothy got pregnant at the office.

Marcella slapped her daughter on the head, to the astonishment of Dorothy. "Mom, why?! This is what you want all along, right?"

"You idiot! Can you just use your brain even for once?!" Marcella shouted angrily. Her loud voice drew lots of curious glances at them. Marcella pushed her daughter into a corner and asked, "You are such a stupid girl. Why didn't you take a contraceptive pill after you had sex last time at the office?" Marcella knew that someday she would be extremely mad at her daughter. Why would her daughter cause such a blunder right now?

It's such bad news. They were doomed. Although Dorothy was pregnant, the baby's father wasn't Colin. Colin had sex with Dorothy at the Patrick Mansion less than a month ago. So, if the baby's father was Colin, Dorothy's pregnancy shouldn't be more than four weeks. She should have been in her early weeks of pregnancy right now.

Dorothy then realized what her mother meant. She put on a long, lonely face and regretfully thought why she didn't take a contraceptive pill after having sex with Payne.

"It's fine. Mom, don't worry. Now, I will just tell Colin that I'm pregnant for just four weeks. Later, I'll seek an opportunity to have an abortion. That's a good plan."
