"Doctor, did you just say I'm pregnant?"
"Yes, Miss Mu."
"Pre... Pregnant?"
This was like a thunderbolt from the sky, making Lena so shock she was unable to say anything. She seemed pale and looked at the female doctor in white coat with trembling voice.
Recently, she felt nausea and lost her appetite. She thought she might have eaten something unclean, so she decided to have a light diet to have a good rest.
But she didn't expect that the symptoms would become more and more serious, and her period she should have expected every month didn't come. That made her even more afraid. It was not until Nora came to see her with a pack of snacks and found something wrong with her that she came to the hospital.
Then the doctor arranged her to receive a B-ultrasound, and…
To all of this, she felt ridiculous.
How did it come to this?
She gazed blankly at the medical terms on the pregnancy test report, until she saw the familiar words. Her heart clenched, and her hand that held the sheet even tighter, blue veins standing out on it.
The doctor on the other side of the desk stopped writing. She tucked a strand of hair behind the ear and spoke in a professional and gentle voice. Then she began to state the matters needing attention in the early stage of pregnancy in detail.
"Miss Mu, now you are eight weeks pregnant. Nausea, vomiting and aversion are a normal reaction in the early stage of pregnancy. "…"
"Mrs. Mu, don't be afraid. Every mother has to go through such a process for the first time. If you are really uncomfortable, just let your husband... "
Those words went from Lena's left ear to the right, and she couldn't listen to anything or think about anything.
At last, she didn't know how she left the hospital.
"Lena." When Nora saw the order, her heart was also turned upside down. She didn't know how to comfort her best friend. She went to a beverage shop, ordered something and sat in the corner with Lena.
She knew that Lena had broken up with Sherlock, but they hadn't had sex yet when they broke up. So how did this child thing happen?
And in the past two months, Lena was obviously avoiding someone.
Eight weeks, two months…
An idea flashed through Nora's head. She thought it would be unbelievable. Was that possible?
No matter whether she guessed was right or not, Lena was in a dilemma at the moment. Her whole body was entangled like a hemp rope.
She didn't love him with her heart and hadn't have the chance to experience the pleasure of sex. Yet already she was firmly chained by what the doctor said and was ruthlessly announced to be pregnant.
"I, I have already broken up." She murmured. It seemed as if she was persuading herself or telling someone else.
"Child, it was just a one night thing, and its father may, probably...."
"Lena, I'm not the doctor. I'm Nora. Look at me! " Although Nora had guessed it in her mind, it didn't make it any easier to hear the answer.
She wanted to know how it had happened. She wanted to know if Lena had been forced to have sex. But she controlled her curiosity, barely.
Lena was not very calm at the moment, completely immersed in her own thoughts.
"Lena, don't be afraid. I'm right here with you. Don't be afraid..." No one wanted to see this happen, especially to Lena. She was very simple and had never encountered such difficult matters.
With the gentle comfort of Nora, Lena calmed down gradually.
"Nora, the baby is Cliff's. What should I do? " Lena put her head on Nora's shoulder and her hands on her belly gently.
There was a little baby there. It was unbelievable.
That baby had her and Cliff's blood. It was their baby.
She had sex with Cliff, just two months ago.
