Since She Met Lucian novel Chapter 98

"Uhh, yes but..." Amelia answered. She told the truth but the fact that she was recently divorced made it hard for her to speak.

The doctor noticed that Amelia was having a hard time answering her question and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It was just an honest question." The middle-aged female doctor wore her reading glasses and looked at the results shown in the report. She then excitedly said, "Congratulations! You're pregnant."

Upon hearing those words, Amelia was overwhelmed with so much emotion. She felt uneasy not having Lucian around but at the same time, she felt happy to have his child inside her.

The doctor informed her of some common knowledge about pregnancy, so Amelia listened carefully.

"Actually, we already know her pregnancy, we just wanted to confirm it with a professional," Courtney said. Courtney then whispered to Amelia, "The doctors in this private hospital like to gossip about their patients. Now that we know the diagnosis, we should go."

Realizing how embarrassing it would be for her if news about pregnancy were to spread, she nodded towards Courtney and stood up.

"I can't give you any more advice that would be useful at the moment. I need to review what I know about pregnancy. I need to be careful using the words miscarriage and abortion since there is clearly a difference between the two. Damn it!' Courtney regretfully exclaimed. She then continued in a more solemn tone, "How could I say that you should give up your child yesterday? Your child should be our motivation for the future! We have to love him or her with all our hearts."

Hearing Courtney's passionate words towards her unborn child made Amelia smile. They continued on to Courtney's milk tea shop and when they arrived and sat down, Amelia continued thinking about what to do to ease the troubles that filled her heart.

Courtney randomly asked, "Are you thinking about how to tell Jonny? Have you even figured out how to tell him?"

"I tried to tell him last night, but he suddenly said out of the blue that whatever the problem I'm facing, he will do his best to help me. I think he has an idea about my pregnancy already," Amelia replied. Amelia wondered if her worried face or constant thinking might have given it away. She felt that Jonny always had an idea of what she was feeling or thinking of.

Courtney took a sip of water and after analyzing their situation, she said, "We can't hide your pregnancy. As time goes on, it will be more obvious. Besides, I think if Jonny was the one to tell everyone, it won't do his reputation any good."

Amelia shook her head in disagreement and firmly said, "Even if I tell him, he won't tell anyone."

"Then what are you so worried about? Go tell him! You can't hide it forever," Courtney replied. Courtney had no idea as to why Amelia seemed so reluctant to tell Jonny.

Amelia's heart was full of hesitation and was left with nothing to say to her friend.

She hadn't seen Jonny for several days. He was quite busy this week. Amelia would only receive messages from him late at night.

The next morning, Amelia woke up early, cleaned her room, made herself some breakfast, and read a book about pregnancy. It was a routine she did daily.

If every day was similar to this day, Amelia would surely feel bored and lonely. But ever since she'd had a baby in her belly, these kinds of melancholic thoughts didn't seem to matter to her.

Amelia finished her book before noon and decided to eat. Right after she finished her lunch, the doorbell rang. She thought It might have been Jonny so she went to the door without much thought. But when she opened it and saw Shelly in front of her, she was so surprised she was left speechless.

"What? Why don't you welcome me in?". Shelly said with a smirk on her face and then walked past Amelia.

Hearing her words, Amelia regained her composure. She softly smiled at her and said, "Please sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'll get you a glass of water."

Shelly laughed in a seemingly mocking manner then said, "This situation seems familiar. It reminds me of the time when I arrived at the SJ Garden." Shelly continued to wear a smug expression on her face and paid attention to Amelia's reaction, hoping to see some sort of sorrowful response.

Lucian and the SJ Garden were indeed some unforgettable parts of her memory, so Amelia was bound to have some sort of reaction. However, she avoided Shelly's taunting by solely focusing on the glass she held in her hand. She held it ever so tightly and focused on applying just enough pressure so it wouldn't fall.

"This is your home. Don't just stand there. Sit down with me," Shelly arrogantly said as she gestured with her chin at Amelia.

As Amelia sat down, she looked at Shelly's face with keen eyes and realized that she didn't wear as much makeup as before. It made her look pristine and more approachable now.

Shelly took a sip of her water and smiled at Amelia then said, "Relax, I didn't come here to argue with you. I'm only here to ask you a few questions." She seemed genuine with her request. The feeling of animosity between them seemed to be gone.

"Questions?" Amelia vaguely replied. She didn't understand why Shelly was smiling at her. After all, she'd been so arrogant to her in the past.

"To be honest with you, after I married Lucian, he has never touched me once. Even my hand, let alone sleeping in the same bed with me," Shelly said, with noticeable sadness in her face. Then she turned to look at Amelia and said, "He was forced to marry me. You're the one that he truly loves. He doesn't have any affection for me. I'm extremely jealous of you."

Amelia was shaken by Shelly's words. She felt a wave of different emotions inside her heart. She clasped her hands tightly together and tried to calm herself down.

She then said, "Miss Shelly, I believe that in time, you and Lucian will learn to fall in love with each other." Amelia didn't have a concrete solution to Shelly's dilemma. That's why the only thing she could do for her right now was to be optimistic for her.

"Well, how are things between you and Jonny?" Shelly immediately asked. Just to change the course of their conversation after she realized how awkward it must be.

Amelia panicked and paused to think for a while before she answered, "Don't worry, I won't disturb you or Mr. Lucian."

"I know you're a very noble woman Amelia, that's why I came here to tell you how I felt. I don't want to force you to do anything. I just hope that you can keep your distance from Lucian." The smile on Shelly's face suddenly faded. She stared at Amelia seemingly full of hostility as if she was testing her.

"Miss Shelly, Lucian is a stubborn man. But he cares for the needs of his partner as long as you don't force him to do anything. As long as you are patient and always try to understand how he is, you will get along just fine." This was the only way Amelia could find out if she really wanted to help.
