His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1016

"It's okay..." Holley wrapped her arms tightly around George and refused to let him go. He was finally able to gently push her away and said to her, "No, we cannot do this."

With confusion all over her face, Holley looked at George. Never before, would George have refused her like this.

"What's the matter with you? Why do you push me away?" Feeling a bit dejected, Holley looked at him as she inquired.

"Holley, its just that, you... well, you are pregnant." George frowned slightly as he replied, "I've heard from a doctor I know that it would be better to stop doing that during the first three months of your pregnancy. Otherwise, it may do harm to the baby."

George smiled slightly and continued, "Take this time to get some much needed rest. Don't think about it too much, okay?"

"George, you..." Holley was unwilling to hear such nonsense as she continued trying to reach out to hold George. He avoided her reach with a steadfast expression. He smiled at her and said, "It's about time for me to leave anyway. I have to work later. Let me take you to your room to rest."

George escorted her to her room so she could rest. Once she realized that there was no changing his mind, Holley gave up on trying to pursue it.

On the night table next to the bed George saw a cup of water and a white pill. He knew from past experience that it was one of Holley's painkillers.

Severe pain crippled Holley during her period every month. So she needed to constantly take painkillers to cope.

"What is this...?" The gleam of a disapproving smile flashed across his face as he saw the pill. He attempted to act as if nothing were on his mind as he inquired.

"It's.... It's nothing." Holley stumbled over her words and smiled awkwardly. She had just finished her period few days before and forgot to put the remaining pills back. It was only natural that she was caught off guard when George saw it.

She stepped forward and threw the pills into the trash can. Then she turned to George and said, "I had a really bad headache a few days ago and I wanted to take a painkiller. It occurred to me that I'm pregnant after I opened it. So I lay down on the bed for a while without putting it back."

"You had a headache?" George asked as he took Holley's hand, nervously. "Was it that bad? Do you want to go to the hospital to get checked out?"

"No, I'm okay. " Holley explained to him in a hurry. "I'm fine. It was hurting then, but I'm completely okay right now."

Holley felt that something would happen if George stayed here any longer. She smiled and said to George, "I thought you said you are going to work later. If you don't go now, you might be late."

Keeping up his act, George raised his hand to check the time. He said to Holley, "You're right. I almost forget about that."

He went to the wardrobe to pick up some clothes and said to Holley, "Holley, make sure that you get plenty of rest these days. Help yourself if there is something you want to eat. Don't deprive yourself of anything. I will stay in my office for a couple of days. Take care of yourself."

"Why would you do that?" Holley replied with a frown. "Are you sure that your body is up for that?"

"I'll be okay. Don't worry." George smiled and he pinched her face gently. "It'll be early in the morning when I get off from work every day. And it's not good for you or the baby if I wake you up. So I'd better stay at the office. Don't worry about me. You can rest assured that I will come to see you as soon as I have time."
