Chapter 95 The Surprise From The Heaven


    She came to her senses and smiled carelessly. "Don''t worry. I have a weak stomach. Maybe it''s


    because I have stomachache for several times a month."


    She remembered eating chili food a month ago, but that was just once. Ever since Lucian stopped her


    from eating spicy food back in SJ Garden, she rarely tried it. That was why her stomach hadn''t been


    troubling her until recently.


    "Then we should go to the hospital," Jonny insisted.


    Amelia refused and said stubbornly, "If people go to the hospital, they will be diagnosed as sick even


    though they are not sick. I''d better not go there."


    "Is that your excuse for neglecting the medical treatment? Let''s go." Jonny opened the door of the car


    and gestured Amelia to get on the passenger seat.


    It was true that she didn''t want to trouble anyone for some trivial issues. Although her stomach did


    create problems for her recently, even after having a perfect diet. The symptoms she had included


    nausea and vomiting. Usually, these issues used to ur due to gastritis, but this time was different.


    Amelia curiously looked at her stomach. If it wasn''t the inmmation in her stomach, then what else


    could it be?


    Her eyes opened wide when a thought crossed her mind. She had never taken precautions every time


    she made love with Lucian. Was she pregnant?


    Her heart thudded against her chest.


    "Fine, I won''t force you, but at least let me bring you some medicines, okay?" When Jonny failed to get


    a response from Amelia, he assumed that she didn''t want to go with him.


    Amelia stood in a daze for a long time. She wanted to see Courtney and tell her everything.


    "I don''t need medicines, Jonny. I want to see Courtney." She forced a smile on her face.


    Jonny gave her a worried nce and frowned. "Even if you don''t want to go to the hospital, just stay at


    home and rest!"


    "I''m fine. I know what I''m doing."


    Jonny didn''t insist anymore. He wanted to drive her to Courtney''s, but Amelia rejected his proposal.


    She took a taxi instead.


    Lucian used to take her to visit Courtney, but she didn''t know what else to do at present except for


    taking a taxi. It was not that she had sentimental feelings. She didn''t want Courtney gossiping about


    her and Jonny. Such a situation was deemed to make them upset.


    Amelia reached Courtney''s milk tea shop and found her busy serving guests. Just as Courtney was


    about to take another order, she noticed Amelia standing on the door. Curiosity increased in Courtney''s


    heart. "Didn''t you say you were going out for lunch? Why are you here?"


    Courtney looked behind her and narrowed her eyes. It looked like Amelia came alone.


    "Courtney, let me help you." Amelia avoided Courtney''s question and started serving the guests.


    Most of the customers were from the Zhan Group, and they recognized her at a nce. They even


    criticized her every time she turned her back to them.


    Amelia didn''t mind them and wore a smile on her face.


    "Amelia, you don''t have to do this. I''ll serve them." Courtney couldn''t bear to listen to thosements.


    She simply gestured Amelia to sit behind the counter. At least, Amelia wouldn''t hear those vile words


    from there and feel distressed again.


    "Okay." ''Maybe I can make some milk tea at the bar counter,'' Amelia wondered. She desperately


    wanted to busy herself in some work to get rid of troubling thoughts.


    The milk tea shop became quiet after serving everyone else.


    Courtney nced at Amelia for a while and sighed. Why would that girl pretend to be strong when she


    was anything but that? "Why are you so unlucky? Your ex married your step-sister, and the man you


    love married the sister of your gossiped boyfriend..."


    Sadness floated in Amelia''s eyes when she looked at Courtney. Amelia said in a small voice, "It''s my


    fate."


    "No, it''s not you. It''s An family''s fault!" Courtney couldn''t stand seeing her friend like this.


    Amelia ignored Courtney and jotted something about milk tea in her notebook.


    Courtney saw Amelia ignoring her and decided to ask another question. "Amelia, will you continue to


    act like that with Jonny?"


    Amelia put down her notebook and frowned. For a second, a hint of worry shed across her eyes.


    "The Zhan Group is not in trouble anymore. And if I tell Lucian that I divorced for his and thepany''s


    sake, everything would be ruined."


    "You did something good without telling a single soul about it." Courtney was speechless at first, and


    then she scoffed. "It''s hard to find a selfless woman like you."


    Amelia''s lips stretched to form a faint smile. She didn''t think she was a good person, but there was no


    way out.


    They were hurt, and her truth would only make it worse.


    "Amelia, let''s be honest. Lucian wouldn''t have abandoned you even if Zhan Group had gone bankrupt."


    Although Courtney didn''t know him too well, she could tell he cared for Amelia.


    Amelia''s face dimmed with sorrow. Even though she was sad, she had to pretend to be calm.


    "Courtney, I... There''s something I want to tell you…" Amelia stuttered, remembering why she came to


    see Courtney.


    "Don''t hesitate, you can share anything with me," Courtney replied briskly.

    Both Courtney and Amelia used to be so weak that they needed to rely on men for everything. Now


    they were strong enough to protect themselves.


    Amelia felt warm in her heart after hearing that. "Courtney, I''ve been vomitingtely..."


    "What did you say?" Courtney''s voice came out loud as a screaming child. "You missed your periods?


    Did Lucian use condoms?"


    Amelia shook her head and smiled awkwardly. She hadn''t thought about it at that time.


    "Oh my God! Amelia, how can you be pregnant? You''ll be in so much trouble!" Courtney shot Amelia a


    worried nce. "Lucian is the child''s father, but now he''s married to Shelly. If you..."


    "It''s not confirmed, Courtney." Amelia was scared, but her thoughts weren''t as dramatic as Courtney''s.


    "Okay, how about this? You stay with me tonight, and I will take you to the hospital first thing in the


    morning." How could Courtney be unaware of Amelia''s depressed heart? Courtney knew just the thing


    that could cheer her friend up.


    Amelia hesitated before nodding in agreement.


    Just when she thought they weren''t going to continue this topic, Courtney jumped on her seat as if she


    had realized something. "I''m so silly! We can take the pregnancy test right here. Let me head over to


    the pharmacy." Courtney rushed out as soon as she finished talking.


    Amelia stood in a daze while she waited for Courtney. Her heart was anxious, thinking of all the


    possibilities after having the pregnancy test. Just as she was about to call Courtney, she received a


    message from Jonny. He wanted to take her back to the An family''s ce at night.


    Amelia''s palms started sweating after receiving that message. What would she tell him?


    Courtney entered the shop with the pregnancy test paper and cursed, "Damn it! Why would people


    stare weirdly at a 25-year-old girl like me just because I''m getting a pregnancy test kit?"


    Amelia smiled at her friend''s attempt to lighten up the mood and took the pregnancy test. She


    narrowed her eyes at the thing in her hand, having no idea how to use it. She had to lower her ego and


    ask Courtney about it, heading inside the bathroom a minuteter.


    "Amelia, are you alright?" Courtney was impatient as always, and it had been more than a few minutes.


    It wasn''t like Amelia didn''t want toe out. She just stared at the result in a daze with moistened


    eyes. There were two red lines on the paper that confirmed her suspicion.


    Her hands trembled in anxiety and helplessness. Tears came pouring down her cheeks.


    Why was God mocking her like this? The timing of this gift was so wrong that she almost wanted to


    kneel and cry her heart out. It was going to bring disaster in her life, but she couldn''t bear to give it up.


    "Amelia, please don''t be a coward. No matter what happens, I will always be with you!" Courtney''s limit


    of suppressing her patience ended, and she kicked the door open out of anxiety.


    Amelia wasn''t a coward, but she didn''t know how to feel about this gift.


    Just as Courtney opened the door, Amelia broke down and sobbed.


    "Don''t cry. We will find a solution." Courtney hugged her and stroked her head.


    After what it felt like hours, Amelia calmed down. "Courtney, I''ll have to raise him alone, won''t I? I don''t


    want to be cruel enough to abandon my child just because I''m not with Lucian."


    These were her darkest thoughts. She didn''t mind being a single mother. Even though her pregnancy


    felt like the biggest joke in her situation, her child would also be her source offort.


    "Should we tell Lucian about this?" Courtney was bewildered about this situation too.


    "No!" Amelia didn''t want to tell Lucian at all. She didn''t even want to imagine how his expressions


    would be after finding it out. She swallowed and looked at Courtney. "The Zhan Group isn''t facing a


    crisis, but if I tell Lucian about this, don''t you know what he would do? He would go back on his words.


    I don''t want him to be that kind of person because of me."


    She had said something unforgivable to Lucian back then, and their rtionship was filled with cracks.


    Telling him about the child would only mean that Amelia was trying her best to snatch Lucian from


    Shelly.


    "Then, what should we do? Don''t tell me you really want to be a single mom?" Courtney looked at her


    in disbelief.


    Amelia didn''t think it was a problem. She smiled and said, "This child will be my only motivation to


    survive in this world. How could I abandon it?"


    "Amelia, are you crazy?" Courtney''s eyes were wide open in shock. She had thought of every possible


    way to help Amelia, but none of them involved bing a single mother.


    Amelia shook her head. "I''ll try my best to keep my child safe and happy without its father." Amelia was


    resolute in her decision. Even if she was inexperienced, she believed that as long as she paid attention


    to her child, everything would be fine.


    "Amelia, please just think it over. You can still abort your child in the early stages."


    "I know you better than that. You''d never talk about killing an innocent child unless you''re afraid that we


    would suffer. Your attempts to persuade me are useless." Amelia knew Courtney too well. She would


    never think of abortion.


    Courtney''s lips formed a faint smile, and excitement glinted in her eyes. "Fine! If you want this child, let


    me help you. Although my business isn''t huge, I''m earning just fine. I can still get milk powder and


    clothes for my little nephew or niece!" Her smile stretched to form a big grin. She reached out to touch


    Amelia''s t belly, and said in surprise, "Is it a boy or a girl? What do you think?"
