Chapter 1353


    Sonia instinctively stood up and stared at Tim entering the ce with the document. Even her


    breath sounded grating to her ears as she sped her hands in anxiety.


    "I-Is the result out?" She parted her lips to speak, but it took a long while before she found her


    voice. Such an action illustrated that her emotions were in such turmoil that the line which signifies


    peace might as well be a dot.


    Tim looked at her and nodded. "It''s out. Have a look."


    Then, he passed the document over to her.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    When she reached out to take it, her hands shook as shecked the courage to flip it open.


    She was petrified that she would see a positive pregnancy test result but also feared not seeing a


    positive result.


    Such a dilemma tore into her and left her feeling ufortable.


    Tim raised an eyebrow at her when he noticed Sonia''s hesitance as she kept clutching onto the


    document. "Aren''t you going to open it?"


    "I''m a scaredy-cat." She looked up with red eyes and replied with a choked sob.


    He almost burst outughing when he heard her response, after which he took the document back


    from Sonia. "Since you are a scaredy-cat, let me do the honors for you."


    "Aren''t you my doctor? You would have seen the result earlier, so why don''t you spill the beans?


    Why do we have to bother with the file?" Sonia rubbed her cheeks in mild frustration.


    Tim was nomittal. "That''s true. But it''s such a waste that you didn''t look at the results yourself.


    So, although I have seen the results, it just isn''t the same. Anyway, I''m walking you through the


    process now. Alright, take a seat."


    She nodded and forced herself to sit down.


    However, he didn''t join her. Instead, he stood opposite her and opened the document to reveal the


    result.


    Sonia''s eyes never left his face as she observed his expression. s, he had such a poker face


    that she couldn''t decipher the truth no matter how hard her eyes bore holes into him.


    It left her somewhat disappointed.


    After he took the test result out, he immediately flipped to thest page and gazed at it.


    Nevertheless, he did not initially inform Sonia of the result, but he suddenly asked, "Before I reveal


    the truth, I need to know about your thoughts on pregnancy."


    "My thoughts?" Sonia was taken aback.


    Tim grunted before he continued, "Yeah, because pregnancy is a huge deal. I need to know


    whether you are prepared and willing to have a kid with Toby."


    "I''ve never thought about it. Didn''t you already mention that I should avoid pregnancy for the next


    two years? Even the possibility of being infertile has crossed my mind. Heck, I never once


    considered that I''ll be pregnant within these two years." She rubbed her temple as she gave a


    truthful reply.


    Once again, he nodded. "That works. Now, look at this from a different point of view. Would you be


    willing to deliver a child for him, then?"


    Sonia grinned. "What do you think? Since I''ve already epted him, of course, I''m willing to deliver


    a child for him. I mean, it''s a different story now. I didn''t know that the father was Toby during my


    last pregnancy. So, even if I did, I''d never have chosen to keep the child because I''d already


    divorced him. I was so against him that I wouldn''t even entertain such a possibility. That was why I


    chose to abort the fetus. Even though I now know what had happened, I would still make the same


    decision. Even if Carl hadn''t poisoned me, I still wouldn''t have kept the child because I never


    thought that I''ll reconcile with Toby."


    As a result, Sonia never regretted her decision to abort her first child, but she felt that she owed that


    child terribly.


    For this reason, she lied to everyone and offered prayers at the local church for the child. She even


    donated to the church every month because she wanted to make amends to that child. Although it


    was superstitious, she did all that in the hopes that her child would be reborn in a better family and


    under far better circumstances.


    She was never one to put stock in such ridiculous notions, but she was more than willing to do it for


    her unborn child.


    It was because she genuinely owed the child.


    "So, you don''t intend on aborting the child if you are pregnant this time. In fact, you''ll carry it to full


    term. Am I right?" Tim pushed his sses up his nose bridge.


    Sonia looked at him as though he was asking a moronic question. "Duh. I''ve already aborted one


    child, so I won''t do it again. That''s too cruel of me. Even I found myself heartless by making that


    decision the first time around. The most important thing is that I know my body well. My body


    suffered from the first abortion, so if I didn''t keep this child, I''m sure I wouldn''t be able to conceive


    another one for the rest of my life. My heart is set. If I''m pregnant this time, I''ll deliver it."


    "Then, why did you look like you wanted to get pregnant but also looked apprehensive of that fact?"


    Tim was bewildered by her attitude.


    Sonia took a sip of the water and answered candidly, "I''m worried. Didn''t you say that I won''t be


    able to conceive within these two years? So, if I were to deliver a child now, would the child be


    healthy? Also, I''ve been in the hospital in and out and taken various medications after being


    rescued from the factory fire. Let''s just say that I''m unsure whether that child should be born if I''m


    pregnant. What if all those drugs harm my baby? Wouldn''t I just be bringing my child into this world


    to suffer? I''m worried about this hence my expression earlier."


    She was actually genuinely concerned about this, and it was enough that her heart felt torn at the


    possibility that she had harmed the fetus due to her poor health.


    He chuckled before finally saying, "Then, you have nothing to worry about. The fetus is doing just


    fine and hasn''t been affected by all of the medications you''ve received."


    "Really?" There was joy on her face before her eyes widened in shock. It was as if she understood


    something. "What did you say? The fetus? I… Am I really pregnant?"


    Heughed. "Yup. You are pregnant."


    Sonia''s mind was nk. The words ''You are pregnant'' continuously rang in her head, reminding her


    that she was a mother-to-be.


    When Tim saw that she was in such a dazed state and didn''t even respond to his questions, he


    started waving a hand right in front of her face as he snarked, "Hey, snap out of it. It''s just being


    pregnant. Why are you acting so weird?''''


    "I-I''m just shocked." Her eyes flickered as she returned to her senses, after which she cautiously felt


    her belly. A mixture of emotions danced on her face—joy and fright. "I''m really pregnant?!"


    She couldn''t believe what she had heard.


    "Dr. Lancaster." Sonia suddenly remembered something and desperately grabbed hold of Tim.


    "Didn''t you say that I can''t fall pregnant within these two years? Or the possibility that I might not be


    able to get pregnant? So, what''s going on now?"


    When Tim saw that she was bing agitated, he patted her to signal her to calm down. Finally,


    he answered, "Yes, I have said such words before, but that''s because your uterus was injured. So, I


    figured it would need about two years to recuperate. That''s why I suggested not getting pregnant


    within these two years and that there was a chance you might not even be able to conceive during


    this period. If you have a child with an injured uterus, the environment might not be suitable for


    fertilization. However, I did emphasize something. Maybe. That is to say; there are exceptions to


    every rule. Clearly, you''re such an exception. In fact, I wouldn''t hesitate to say that this is a miracle


    baby you''re carrying."


    Okay, so my case is just a matter of probabilities.


    There was a slight chance of the impossible, and she was lucky to have been orded that slim


    chance.


    In short, Lady Luck shone on her. Had Sonia known about it, she would have purchased a lottery


    ticket. Maybe I''d have struck first prize?


    Sonia pointed to her belly. "In that case, my child… How did I get pregnant? Is it—"


    As Tim knew what she wanted to express, he waved away her guesses. "Nope, your uterus is not


    fully recovered yet, but it''s close. Since your recovery is going well, it is capable of supporting your


    decision to keep the child. Still, I have to warn you that safely delivering the child would require a lot


    of sacrifice at your end thereon."
