Harper couldn't believe she was pregnant. She went to the doctor for another check-up, and the results confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Sitting on the hospital bed, Harper held the report and examined it repeatedly, slowly accepting the reality of her pregnancy...
That night, they didn't use protection. The next day, when Harper woke up, she was caught by Taya, and then called away by Kate.
She hadn't taken emergency contraception within 72 hours, so it was no surprise that she was pregnant.
But this pup came at the wrong time...
Seeing Harper's sad and anxious expression, Silas furrowed his brows slightly.
"Harper, is the pup Preston's?" he asked.
Harper felt embarrassed when he figured it out, but she didn't deny it and nodded directly at Silas.
"Then why aren't you happy?" he asked.
Wasn't she ready to accept Preston's proposal? Why was she still so troubled?
Harper raised her hand and touched her belly. She couldn't feel the rhythm of life yet, but it still weighed heavily on her.
"I don't know..." she said, tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked at Silas.
"Maybe I've become more sensitive after getting pregnant."
She wiped away her tears and smiled at Silas.
"Silas, you go back to your place first. I'll calm down here and then come find you, okay?"
Silas stared at her, unsure if it was due to pregnancy sensitivity or emotional distress.
He felt that Harper had a lot on her mind, but didn't know how to express it, so he chose to keep quiet.
He took out a square handkerchief and wiped away the tears that kept falling from her face.
"I'll wait for you at home, but please don't cry."
A gentle smile appeared on Silas's warm face, like the winter sun, always able to warm people's hearts.
"Okay, I won't cry anymore."
Seeing her obediently nod, Silas put away the handkerchief, pushed the wheelchair, and left the hospital room, leaving Harper alone.
Watching his receding figure in the wheelchair, Harper thought about Silas and Taya's missed opportunity, as well as Eric and Stella's fate.
She wondered, did it really matter whether Preston slept with Elsie or not?
Harper, maybe it's better for you to be a little confused and pretend that nothing happened, as long as he is willing to change for you in the future.
