The Villainess Needs a Hug (Ivy Windsor) novel Chapter 969

"Yeah..."

"If you're not feeling well, head home early. Should I come pick you up?"

"Alright. I don't really feel like driving anyway."

Just over half an hour later, Jamison pulled up outside her office building.

Unwilling to let his wife walk down alone, he parked the car and went straight upstairs to get her.

There were still plenty of employees working late at the company. Seeing Jamison walk in, everyone enthusiastically greeted him.

"Good evening, Dr. Ludwig."

"Dr. Ludwig is here to pick up Mr. Windsor again! You guys are so romantic!"

Jamison nodded politely at the staff, his long legs never pausing for a second as he headed straight for his wife's office.

"Wow... Dr. Ludwig is even hotter in person than in his videos!"

"And he's so tall! Look at those long legs. He's absolutely gorgeous!"

"I'm so jealous of Mr. Windsor. She's living the dream!"

An insider whispered, "Don't act like she's just incredibly lucky. Didn't you hear that Dr. Ludwig got liver cancer a few years ago? Our boss donated part of her liver to save his life. That's the only reason he beat the disease and is still here today."

"I heard about that too! Is that actually true?"

"Of course! The media covered it heavily back then; it's public knowledge."

"Wow... our boss is an absolute hero! She's stunning, incredibly smart, totally decisive at work, and deeply loyal in love. Did God even give her a single flaw?"

"Well, not exactly. The boss had a really miserable life before. Things only got better after she met Dr. Ludwig. You could say they saved each other. They were practically born to be together."

Inside the office, Jamison hadn't closed the door.

Grabbing his wife's jacket and picking up her bag, he supported Ivy with one hand and muttered softly, "I have no idea if your employees are actually competent at their jobs, but their ability to gossip is definitely top-tier."

Ivy shot him a look. "They were praising you, is that a crime?"

"Fine, fine." Jamison's heart ached for his wife, so he didn't argue. Changing the subject, he asked, "Can you walk on your own? If not, I can carry you."

"No!" Ivy quickly rejected the idea, terrified he would scoop her up in his arms without a second thought. The whole office would completely lose its mind!

"I'm not in pain, I just feel exhausted. I'll feel better once I get home and rest."

"Alright, let's go." The two walked out of the office, greeting the staff with smiles before leaving.

That night, Ivy went to bed early.

Waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, she shockingly discovered that her period was already over!

It only lasted half a day?

She was full of confusion, but since it was three in the morning, she didn't want to wake her husband. She decided to just wait until morning.

The moment Ivy finished her meeting, she grabbed some supplies and went straight to the restroom, assuming she needed a change.

But what she saw only deepened her confusion.

It was incredibly sparse—there one minute, gone the next. It was truly bizarre.

The situation dragged on for over two days before finally stopping completely.

On the weekend, Jamison had to go into the hospital early to perform a surgical procedure.

Ivy tagged along with her husband to the hospital.

Dr. Beckett wasn't running an outpatient clinic over the weekend, but she was working in the inpatient department. Ivy went directly there to find her.

After listening to Ivy's symptoms, Dr. Beckett shook her head and made her assessment. "This doesn't sound like a menstrual cycle. It sounds more like threatened miscarriage bleeding in early pregnancy."

"What?" Ivy was utterly stunned, unable to believe her ears. "How is that possible? We've been using contraception the whole time, we were incredibly careful."

Though she voiced her doubts, her heart was practically exploding with joy—if this was really an accidental pregnancy, it would be an absolute miracle!

"Don't panic just yet. Let's draw some blood to check your hormone levels and run an HCG test."

"Okay."

During the agonizing half-hour wait for the blood results, Ivy ran down to Jamison's department, but he wasn't there. The staff told her he was still in the operating theater.
