Lost Me, Gained Regret (Jane and Bryant Ferguson) novel Chapter 94

So, the cost of seeing a doctor here was way more than what you'd pay at a public hospital.

Which is probably why the clinic wasn't exactly bustling with patients.

While waiting for my turn, I felt that familiar, uncomfortable sensation again. "Chris, could you run to the store and grab me a pack of pads?"

"Are you bleeding again?"

Christine's face tensed up, and she jumped from her chair. "I'll go. If anything urgent comes up, call me, alright? If I'm not back by the time you're done, just wait here for me. Don't go wandering off."

"Okay." I nodded, feeling weak.

Before all this discomfort kicked in, I thought being pregnant was just about morning sickness and not much different from my usual self.

But now? I was drained, not an ounce of energy to spare.

"Number 36, Jane Webster, please proceed to examination room 3."

I got up and headed inside, handing over my reports to the doctor. "Doctor, could you please check this out? I started bleeding today."

"Bleeding?"

The doctor glanced at the reports, her expression turning grave before she began clicking away on her computer. "Your tests from a few days ago were fine. What happened today? Have you been overexerting yourself, or maybe you ate something that could induce bleeding? Or could it be stress-related?"

I clenched my palm and admitted, "I... might have been a bit emotional today."

The doctor, probably used to hearing such things, responded, "Being emotional for a day shouldn't cause this. Where's your family?"

"My friend went to buy me some stuff..."

"I meant your family, your husband?" The doctor frowned, "You're pregnant, and he's letting you get stressed? Bring him in. I need to talk to him about how to keep a pregnant woman happy. That's the least he can do! Otherwise, he's not fit to be a father!"

"Bry, help me out here! I'm pregnant, for heaven's sake! Do you think the baby's okay? It's been days since I last got checked, I'm worried about how it's developing."
