In the hospital…
Charlotte took a number and queued up. When it was her turn, she told the doctor about her body condition. The doctor looked at her in a somewhat strange way.
“Are you sleepy lately?”
Charlotte nodded.
“Do you feel nauseous when you’re brushing your teeth in the morning?”
Charlotte nodded again.
“And do you occasionally have the urgency to urinate?”
Charlotte was quite confused by this question. She thought for a while before nodding again.
“Does this have anything to do with my illness?”
The doctor looked at her helplessly and continued asking, “How long has it been since your menstrual period?”
Hearing that, Charlotte counted, “About a month plus…”
The moment she uttered those words, she seemed to have thought of something. Her face gradually changed.
The doctor smiled, “You have had sex recently, right? You have to pay more attention to your body condition. I won’t prescribe the medicine for you. You’d better go and take a new number to do a check.”
Charlotte left the hospital with her head hung in disappointment.
She did not dare to take a new number but went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit instead. When she was back to the Moore family, she locked herself in the washroom.
Charlotte waited anxiously for a long time. When she saw that the pregnancy test kit showed a positive result, she, who was initially feeling uncomfortable due to her illness, looked even worse now.
She looked down at her flat belly and still could not believe it.
At that time, everything was too sudden and she had never experienced such a thing. She fled home in a panic and when she was back, she was forced to marry someone else. She was overcome with grief and she forgot that matter, so she did not stand a chance to take the emergency contraceptive pills.
Now, out of the blue, there was a little life in her belly.
No!
Charlotte covered her lips with her hand. She was still in disbelief.
No, she could not be panicked since she was still not sure about this.
Maybe the pregnancy test kit was inaccurate. She still needed to go to the hospital to check it out.
Thinking of this, Charlotte picked the test kit and threw it into the trash can. She got up and went out of the washroom.
Probably due to her pregnancy, Charlotte was guilt-ridden. When she came out, she kept looking around, fearing that Kennedy would appear all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Kennedy did not return home for a day.
In the evening, Charlotte began to feel panicked again. She hurriedly took a shower and dragged her suitcase to the door and waited. She put a stool there too.
When Kennedy came back, he saw her sitting drowsily on the stool at the door.
She had no choice.
It was because the doctor did not prescribe her the cold cure. Moreover, as Charlotte was too worried about whether she was really pregnant, she only drank some hot water the whole day.
She was caught cold but she had not taken any medicine. She also did not rest properly so her cold was naturally intensified.
Kennedy looked at the petite figure, slightly stunned.
Did she stay here all day?
Obviously not. She had changed her clothes and washed. She obviously went to his room to rest while he was away and she came out to stay at the door before he came back.
Hmph, it seemed like she still had some self-awareness.
“Mr. Kennedy?” Nathan was still confused, so he asked, “Do you want me to…”
“Let her be.”
“Okay.”
