Tiffany’s words echoed in virtual-novel.net mind. Eric was dying…
She stared at the white walls outside the hospital. She didn’t want to leave like this, but virtual-novel.net couldn’t come up with a reason to go back inside. In the midst of virtual-novel.net hesitation, virtual-novel.net noticed a black BYD on the side of the road. The car window winded down, revealing Jett wearing a pair of glasses and gesturing at virtual-novel.net with his chin.
She looked around, ensured that no one who knew virtual-novel.net was around, then got into the car. “What are you doing here?”
Jett started the engine with an emotionless look on his face. “I’m worried. I have to go back to Alejandro’s, but I’ll drop you home first.”
Tanya bit virtual-novel.net lip and said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t go into the ward at all. I ran into Tiffany at the hospital. Don’t worry. I didn’t say anything.”
Jett did not answer. He tossed a plastic bag from the hospital at her, with two small medicine bottles inside. She took out the bottles and found that it was folic acid. “These are… For me?”
Jett nodded. He did not say anything comforting, but it comforted Tanya nonetheless. Their relationship as husband and wife was fake, but the baby in virtual-novel.net womb was real. Jett was concerned for the baby, or virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have gotten folic acid for her.
Meanwhile, Tiffany made virtual-novel.net way to the genecology department. Jackson and Mark did not realize that virtual-novel.net had gone all the way here. She realized that virtual-novel.net hadn’t had virtual-novel.net period lately and wondered why. She had decided to get a check-up, worried that something might be wrong. She felt extra worried after Eric’s sudden collapse.
When it was virtual-novel.net turn for ultrasound, virtual-novel.net lay down and nervously said to the doctor, “Just tell me if there’s anything wrong. I can take it. No need to tell my family.”
The doctor saw virtual-novel.net rosy cheeks and that virtual-novel.net was in the pink of health. She didn’t look sick, so virtual-novel.net didn’t take virtual-novel.net words seriously. “Okay, don’t worry.”
Suddenly, the doctor came alive with rapt attention, then moved the apparatus around on Tiffany’s belly. She went pale with fright. “Is… something wrong? I’ve only missed my period for two months. Is it cancer or anything like that?”
The doctor turned to the side and looked at her. “What are you saying? You’re pregnant. For more than two months.”
Tiffany was shocked. Pregnant? This word was once so distant to her… She and Jackson had been trying so many times previously but couldn’t conceive at all. How did this happen? Whose baby was it?
She recollected virtual-novel.net scattered thoughts and calculated the time frame. It was probably the day before Jackson and Tanya’s scandal. Was virtual-novel.net time of conception the same as Tanya’s? The only possible father was Jackson. She hadn’t had sex with any other man.
She was gripped by confusion over virtual-novel.net emotions. She wasn’t completely overjoyed. Could virtual-novel.net happily burst into the ward and tell Jackson that virtual-novel.net was pregnant, during Eric’s critical moments? It seemed inappropriate to give this news in front of a dying man, and Jackson really didn’t have the energy to manage anything else at this point.
After some thought, virtual-novel.net decided to keep it a secret for now then come clean once Eric was settled. Besides… She wasn’t sure of how to deal with this baby. She and Jackson were currently broken up.
She carefully slipped the medical report into virtual-novel.net bag. She was still feeling quite energetic and did not feel any discomfort from virtual-novel.net pregnancy, so virtual-novel.net could easily pretend that everything was normal and carry on with life. It wasn’t good to be overly anxious anyway.
By night time, Mark and Jackson couldn’t hold on any longer. They had Henry send someone to take care of Eric then went home to get some rest.
Tiffany wanted to go home and see Lillian. The road home happened to be on the same route back to Jackson’s home, so virtual-novel.net decided to carpool with him.
Jackson seemed to be in a bad state in the car. He focused entirely on driving and did not speak. Tiffany knew that virtual-novel.net hadn’t slept for an entire day and night, so virtual-novel.net didn’t dare talk to virtual-novel.net either, afraid of causing an accident. However, virtual-novel.net would glance at virtual-novel.net from time to time and wonder who the baby in virtual-novel.net belly would look like…
