Marrying The Supposed Gold Digger (Valerie) novel Chapter 761

Chapter 761 

Katherine couldn’t believe it, but there was no way to deny the possibility. Right now, she couldn’t make any assumptions and had no choice but to be led to another round of tests. While waiting for the results, she felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety, unsure of what to do or how to process her emotions, 

She thought. “What if I am pregnant! Will the Santos family pressure me 

ne into something because of this?” Katherine didn’t dare continue down that line of thought, afraid of what it might lead to. 

After anxiously waiting for half an hour, the results finally came out. When Katherine saw the words “embryo development” written on the report, she was stunned. “Doctor, does this mean… I’m pregnant” She was in utter shock, 

The doctor nodded at her and confirmed, “Yes, Miss Santos, you are indeed pregnant. The embryo is developing normally at this stage.” 

Katherine stood frozen in shock, her mind buzzing as the doctor’s words echoed 

“When was your last period? Do you remember?” the doctor asked. 

Katherine opened her mouth to speak but struggled to make a sound. Panicked, she grabbed the doctor’s hand, her voice trembling as she said, “Please keep this confidential. Don’t tell anyone, especially not my family. Do you understand?” 

The doctor nodded reassuringly, saying, “Of course, the patient’s confidentiality is our priority. We only discuss these matters directly with the patient, and since you’re an adult, this result will not be shared with anyone else.” 

Seeing the anxiety on Katherine’s face, the doctor spoke gently, “So, what are your thoughts? Do you want to keep the baby?” 

Katherine, having been kidnapped abroad and then discovering her pregnancy upon returning, was understandably overwhelmed. Her mind spinning as she took a deep breath and looked at the doctor. “I need some time to think about this child,” she said, trying to process the news. 

“Alright, Miss Santos, your health is stable for now. You only need to focus on nutrition. In the first three months of pregnancy, strenuous activities should be avoided. Here is some folic acid for you to take, and I’ll print out additional care instructions for you as well.” 

Katherine still dazed and holding the test results and care instructions, stepped out of the clinic. She had thought her connection with Julian had ended, only to face this unexpected consequence from a single night. With a sigh, she was jolted by the sudden ring of her phone. Looking down, she saw it was Valerie calling. 

Katherine quickly answered, “Valerie, is there something you need?? 

“Nothing much. You mentioned going to the hospital. How did the check–up go?” Valerie asked. 

Valerie’s concerned voice caught her off guard “N–No, it’s nothing. I just 

She hesitated, unsure of whether to speak up. Valerie, sensing something was off, asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something not right! Don’t worry, 1 know a few doctors who might be able to help. I can ask them for you.” 

Katherine quickly replied. “No, it’s nothing!” 

“Are you sure there’s nothing rong?” Valerie’s intuition told her that Katherine was hiding something. 

Katherine tried to sound calm, “It’s nothing, Valerie. I just felt a bit carsick. I have to go now.” She quickly hung up, leaving Valerie uneasy but unable to get more information. 

Katherine took a deep breath, cradling her abdomen with her right hand. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion. Logically, she should have moved on from that night, and hadn’t given Valerie’s call much thought. But now that she was pregnant, carrying Julian’s child she felt a sharp pang of pain every time she thought of him. The situation left her feeling lost and uncertain about what to do next. 

Katherine wandered home in a daze, her expression vacant. When Vivian saw her, a deep frown creased her brow. She asked, “Katherine, what’s wrong with you?” 

Katherine shook her head. “It’s nothing. I’m just a bit tired.” 

Katherine sat on the sofa, lost in thought. Seeing her distress, Vivian hurried over and said, “Katherine, tell me, is something wrong? Are you feeling unwell!” Vivian touched Katherine’s forehead, but Katherine immediately pulled away and said, “Mom, I’m fine. It’s nothing” 

“Nothing! Did you go to see Valerie today? Your brother mentioned you visited her, Vivian said. 

Katherine shook her head. “Yes, I went to see Valerie. Matthew still hasn’t returned, and Valerie is fine. I’m going to head upstairs and rest now, 

Mom 

Seeing Katherine abrupdy leave her bag on the soda and head upstairs, Vivian’s concern deepened. She wondered, ‘What’s with her? Why does she look so out of sorts? Something must be wrong”
