From the looks of things, it’s as though she’s planning to be away for a long time. After searching the entire house, John then came back out. Taking out his cell phone, he gave Sophia a call.
Turning time back a few hours ago, when Sophia was done packing up early in the morning, she first went to the hospital. When she was there, she accessed her blood test report and showed it to the doctor. Her expression rigid, the doctor scanned through the report before saying, “You’re pregnant. However, it’s still early. Are you planning to keep it?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes.”
The doctor looked up and studied her for a moment. “You came alone?”
Sophia grunted in affirmation. “My family is busy, so I came alone.” While she was wearing a mask, she wasn’t feeling all that well, so she appeared rather pitiful.
Thus, the doctor’s voice became gentle. “If you’re planning to keep the child, you must keep up with the nutrition requirements in the early stages. You’re too thin. The child absorbs nutrients from the mother in the later stages, so there’ll be an adverse effect if you’re lacking certain nutrients.”
Sophia murmured in acknowledgment, “Okay. I got it.”
The doctor then inquired about the date of her last menstruation and gave her an estimated due date. Then, she told her to come for a B-scan at a later date. She also gave her a lengthy reminder before saying poignantly that these words should have been meant for her husband. Putting on a cheerful front, Sophia chortled. Finally, she thanked the doctor and left the hospital. Sure enough, I’m pregnant. But how could this be? When did it happen? I really have no recollection at all.
