Chapter 135


    Matilda crashed into bed that evening, utterly spent, and when the sun peeked through her curtains the


    next morning, she pulled herself together for a trip to the pharmacy. With swift determination, she


    picked up a few items and headed home, Once there, she used a pregnancy test she’d bought.


    One line was clear as day, but the other was faint, barely visible.


    She tried all three different brands she’d bought, but each test showed that same, ambiguous second


    line.


    Feeling anxious and confused, a situation she’d never encountered before her pregnancy with Logan


    had been confirmed straight away she reached for her phone and dialed Chloe’s number to see if her


    best friend was free to talk.


    After sharing her concerns, Chloe insisted they needed to hit up the hospital to get a clear answer.


    Chloe took the day off without a second thought, hailed a cab to Matilda’s ce, and together, they


    cabbed to the hospital.


    While registering at the hospital, Matilda bumped into the same doctor Keaton she’d met when she had


    a fever some time ago. He gave her a once–over as she and Chloe waited in line at the OB–GYN’s


    door, too preupied to notice his gaze,


    As Matilda’s number was called, Keaton watched her disappear into the examination room and, after a


    long silence, pulled out his phone and dialed a number.


    Yvan was sprawled out in bed, having taken the day off work, his mood as stormy as the weather


    outside. His phone rang, and seeing it was Keaton, he answered without hesitation, “Keaton, what’s


    up?”


    Keaton paced the hospital corridor, phone in one hand, the other tucked into his coat pocket. His


    towering figure turned heads among the nurses. “I saw Matilda.”


    That nameing out of his mouth was a surprise. Yvan squinted, “Meaning?”


    “She’s here with another woman at the OB–GYN.” Keaton’s voice dropped to a whisper, “Thought I


    should give you a heads up.”


    OB–GYN?


    A rush of images swept through Yvan’s mind, and he bolted upright, shock etching his features, his


    voice deepening with urgency, “Text me the address. I’ming over now!”


    Meanwhile, Matilda sat in front of the doctor with Chloe by her side, exining the results of the


    pregnancy tests.


    The doctor, experienced and nonplussed, suggested, “Alright, let’s start with a urine sample, followed


    by a blood test.”

    White typing, the doctor looked up. “When was yourst menstrual cycle?”


    Matilda thought for a moment and provided a date. The doctor did some quick math, “It’s been. forty


    days since yourst period.”


    Matilda nodded in confirmation.


    After sharing this, the doctor nced at Matilda, noticing her apanied by a young woman, and


    asked, “And where’s your boyfriend?”


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.


    Boyfriend?


    Matilda’s face paled slightly, “I don’t have a boyfriend…”


    “No boyfriend, and yet here we are,” the doctor frowned, “You see, it’s you who ends up with the


    complications. Youngdy, be sensible, don’t y around–it’s not worth the trouble.”


    Chloe could onlyfort Matilda, telling her not to take it to heart, as the doctor handed them a chip


    card. “Go downstairs to pay, then head to the third floor for the urine test.”


    “Okay, thank you, doctor.”


    Leaving the doctor’s office, they heard the electronic screen buzz for the next patient.


    Chloe gently guided Matilda through the urine test and blood draw, and while waiting for the results,


    they casually strolled through the streets surrounding the hospital.
