Chapter 0194
Pregnant? Could I be carry
Nicholas’s child?
I did not know what the point of our marriage still was, or why! should bear his child. But in my near–unconscious state, my arm instinctively retreated under the blanket.
Yasmine seemed to understand something. She whispered in my ear, “Ariana, we’re just cooling you down physically.”
Only after she said this could she successfully pull out my arm. My palm and forearm were wiped down with alcohol to cool my fever.
In my dreams, I felt uneasy. Having a child was a lifelong
responsibility. I felt afraid and panicked and had no idea what the future held.
I felt no sense of security because the child’s father had already exhausted all the love I had for him, but a child was a blessing. They were unrelated to Nicholas and a gift from heaven to me.
Since I was unconscious for two days, the doctor had been giving me treatments to protect the child. Yasmine sat beside me as the doctor rambled on about precautions.
My mind was not very clear as I had just woken up. I could not quite process what the doctor was saying. It took a while before I could confirm one thing in my mind–I really seemed to be carrying Nicholas’s child.
Calculating the timing, it must have happened during our trip abroad.
My voice was hoarse and unpleasant. I sounded as if I hadn’t spoken in my life. My heart was anxious as I asked, “Doctor, I took birth control pills for a long time before getting pregnant. Will that affect
the baby?”
“Art, you’re finally awake!” Yasmine noticed me. She turned around as tears fell down her face. She eagerly grasped my hand. “You scared me to death. You slept for so long.”
She had always been strong. I could not even remember the last time I saw her cry. Before I could comfort her, the doctor interrupted
US
“Rest for a day. We’ll do a full body check–up tomorrow morning.”
Moving my stiff body, I placed a hand on my flat tummy. There was a child here. What should I do?
Just when Nicholas thought I could not conceive and wanted to try IVF with another woman, I actually got pregnant. If I told him about this, how would he react?
