"Dylan, I plan to keep the baby, but I want you to help me keep it a secret," Ranita said when she decided to tell Dylan. Dylan was so happy that he jumped up like a child and exclaimed, "Really? That's great!"
Ranita stayed in the hospital for one night and was discharged with no major health issues. However, before leaving, she needed to have an ultrasound. The coupling agent applied on her belly felt cold, but when she saw the small shadow on the monitor screen, Ranita couldn't help but smile.
After it was over, Ranita left with her report. Not far away from her stood, Shannon who tightly frowned while holding hands with a female doctor in a white coat. Wasn't that Ranita? What was she doing here?
"Shannon? What's wrong? What are you looking at?" The female doctor named Carlee Chase asked Shannon curiously. She was Shannon's cousin and worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist at this hospital.
Shannon snapped out of her thoughts and smiled sweetly at Carlee, "Carlee, I think I just saw my friend." In fact, Shannon wasn't feeling good about this. Why would Ranita come to the OB-GYN department? Could it be... she was pregnant?! Just thinking about this possibility made Shannon's heart race!
"Carlee, can you help me see what kind of procedure my friend is having here?" Since Carlee and Shannon had a good relationship together, without much thought or hesitation, Carlee agreed.
Soon after that, Carlee came out of the ultrasound room smiling, "Shannon, your friend is pregnant! She has been carrying for more than one month now."
"What?" Shannon couldn't help exclaiming! Was Ranita really pregnant? If it had only been over one month, then could Brendon be its father?! No, no, no! This can not happen!
After waiting three years for them to divorce, if Brendon knew that Ranita had his child, would he change his mind?
Shannon clenched her fists secretly while feeling both surprised and angry inside.
