Ceres was arranged for the exclusive ward for the Winsor family. The doctor prescribed medication and she was put on a drip.
Johny had a serious expression on his face while Ceres seemed to be much more relaxed.
He poured a glass of water for Ceres and sat at her bed. "Are you hungry? The food is on the way."
Ceres ate nothing this morning because she was afraid that she would have physical exams on an empty stomach.
Ceres shook her head. "I'm not hungry."
Johny sat on the bed and embraced Ceres. "I'm sorry, Ceres."
That day, he thought that he would have to work and was going to be busy soon, so he had sex with her for times. He didn't expect that Ceres had got pregnant. If he had known this, he would have taken Ceres to the hospital that day.
"It's okay. You don't know then." Ceres did not want to blame Johny. She grabbed Johny's hand and placed it on her belly. "I can't believe that we have a baby."
Johny smiled bitterly. He couldn't believe it either.
He knew that Ceres did not want to have a baby now. After all, she was still young. He did not want either, but it just came...
"Ceres, if this baby..."
"I'll accept everything as it comes." Ceres wasn't flustered at all. Perhaps she had prepared herself. She said, "Swedum."
"What? It is the Lantern Festival today. Do you want to eat sweet dumplings? I can ask someone to buy it for you." Johny held Ceres in his arms, his heart aching.
"No, I mean today is the Lantern Festival. Why don't we call our baby Swedum? What do you think?"
Seeing her big smile, Johny suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that Ceres was stronger and more optimistic than he had thought.
"Alright."
"Then let's pray that it will recover soon."
Mary also came to the hospital with Sally. Mary had only done a few pregnancy tests at home. The examination at the hospital would be more reliable.
After they got the report and her pregnancy was confirmed, Sally and Mary finally sighed with relief.
Sally took out some money and handed it to the doctor. "Doctor, thank you. Please pretend that you have never seen us."
The doctor said with a smile, "No, thanks. Mr. Henry has instructed me."
The doctor was arranged by Henry.
"Take it." Sally held Mary's hand and walked out of the doctor's office.
Both of them wore masks in case that they met acquaintances.
As they were chatting, a nurse walked by. The nurse was talking on the phone while walking in a hurry. Then she accidentally bumped into them.
"Hey, be careful. If you hurt my daughter, you can't get away!" Sally hurriedly protected Mary.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't do it on purpose!" The nurse quickly squatted and picked up the reports that fell on the ground.
"Really? I don't think so!"
Mary looked down and saw "Ceres Taylor" on a report.
Mary picked it up. She was right!
"Mom, look..." Mary immediately showed it to Sally.
After picking up all the reports and finding that Mary was holding one, the nurse hurriedly and politely said, "Thank you."
Mary returned it to the nurse. Sally changed her attitude and said, "Be careful next time."
