Chapter 77
However, Ned couldn’t ask any of his friends or relatives about his past with Angeline.
They would discover that he had recovered some of his memories if he did. Ingrid was already insecure from his history with Angeline, so he couldn’t afford to add fuel to the fire.
Angeline regained her composure once she exited Cloudsville College. Only then did she leave. to pick Henrietta up.
She asked Henrietta with a smile, “How was school today?”
Henrietta signed, “Great! I love my classmates, and they were very nice to me. I’m incredibly pleased.”
“That’s good!” Angeline exclaimed, ruffling her hair,
Henrietta nodded and stared at Angeline solemnly as she gestured, “Angeline, I’m delighted that I got to transfer to a new school. I truly am! Our lives will only get better in the future.”
Angeline smiled, holding Henrietta’s hand as she remarked, “Indeed.”
Angeline returned to her dorm after she dropped Henrietta back to school. Before she opened the dorm room door, Alva, who lived next to her, popped out from her room.
Her hair was covered in bubbles as she asked, “Angie, may I use your bathroom? The heater not working in my dorm, and I’m freezing!”
“Sure!”
Angeline opened the door, and Alva darted into her bathroom. She shut the bathroom door right
away.
Just as Angeline removed her down jacket, she suddenly remembered the pregnancy test strips and their packaging in the trash can. She became nervous.
She went up to the bathroom door and knocked.
“Alva, may I come in to get something?”
The sound of running water stopped.
“Are you in a hurry? I’m almost done!”
Angeline’s lips stiffened. The trash can was under the sink, and she wasn’t sure if Alva would
notice.
So, she replied, “It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry.”
Alva quickly rinsed her hair and stepped out of the shower. After she got dressed in her

bathrobe, she caught a glimpse of the trash can as she wiped her face dry.
She was momentarily stunned when she spotted the pregnancy tests. She shot a quick glance
at the door before she crouched down to scrutinize it.
Alva knew she wasn’t hallucinating. Moreover, she noticed that the pregnancy test strips were all positive.
Alva was dumbstruck. She abruptly stood up.
She wondered how Angeline fell pregnant without a boyfriend. She contemplated if Angeline had a boyfriend but simply didn’t tell them about it.
It’s no surprise that she wanted to enter earlier to retrieve something. Alva figured that Angeline must’ve been worried that she might see the pregnancy tests.
Feeling utterly baffled, Alva dashed out of the bathroom and thanked Angeline.
“Thanks a lot, Angie! I’ll head back now since it’s freezing.”
Angeline feigned her composure as she nodded with a smile.
