Chapter 506


    Before Leanna left for work, she told Aidan that he did not need to follow her since she would call him


    when everything was wrapped up at work and if nothing happened.


    Aidan walked her to the elevator, kissing her on the cheek when she let her guard down. “Do be careful


    on your way there. Send a message when you arrive.”


    “Yes, yes. You can go back now.”

    Closing the door of the elevator, Leanna also waved to him.


    After she left, Aidan turned around and knocked on his neighbor’s door.


    A short while passed before the door was opened.


    Naomi asked, “Did Leanna leave?”


    He nodded. “She went to work.”


    Walking to the crib, he saw the baby inside ying with a toy while making gurgling sounds.


    Aidan looked at him for a while and suddenly asked, “Did he grow fatter?”


    This little rascal has only been born for a while, yet he’s much bigger now. I think his face has doubled


    in size.


    Tidying up the room, she said, “Babies grow the fastest. It’s just that this particr one was born


    premature and has been sick for this period, so his growth was a bit slower. Now that he’s cured, it’s


    normal to be fatter. Look at how soft and fair he is. His eyebrows look like Leanna’s.”


    Frowning, hemented, “He’s much uglier than she is.”


    This made Naomi retort, “Who talks about their own son like that? Although babies can’t understand


    you, they are quite petty and vengeful.”


    “I don’t think he’ll be as petty as Leanna.”


    Ignoring him, Naomi left the room.


    Standing by the crib, he reached out and poked the baby’s face.


    Grunting, the little tyke seemed to be unhappy, as he waved his little hands around, wanting to chase


    Aidan away.


    Indeed, he’s quite petty.


    A snort came from Aidan. “Hmph.”


    After a while, Naomi walked up to him. “The baby’s condition is stabilized now. Are you still not


    nning on telling Leanna?”


    Aidan responded, “It’s not that I don’t want to.”


    Rather, he had been deceiving Leanna for so long that he did not know how to break it to her. He was


    also well aware if she came to know the truth, she would be beyond livid.


    If worse came to worst, she might not forgive him for the rest of her life.


    …


    After arriving at the office, Leanna saw that her employees were ted to see here back, as they


    bombarded her with questions.


    Chatting for a while, Leanna took a look around and asked, “Where’s Zoe?”


    “Zoe said that she was feeling unwell this morning, so she’s resting in your office right now.”


    “I’ll go take a look.”


    Leanna opened the office door only to see Zoe curled up on the couch with a pale face, looking like she


    was in great difort.


    Walking over, Leanna asked, “What’s wrong, Zoe?”


    Zoe replied weakly, “I’m not sure either. I have been wanting to puke since a few days ago. I don’t have


    any appetite either, as the mere smell of fried foods would make me want to throw up.”


    At this, Leanna froze for a second.


    Sitting down beside Zoe, she touched her forehead before touching her own. “You don’t have a fever.”


    Zoe nodded slowly. “I think I might have caught the flu. I took medicinest night. I’ll have some again


    later.”


    After a brief silence, Leanna asked, “When was yourst menstrual period?”


    Zoe thought about it, but she could not remember. “I think it wasst month. The flu might have pushed


    back my period for this month.”


    Tugging on her, Leanna stated, “Let’s go to the hospital and have a diagnosis.”


    “There’s no need for that. I normally be like this when I catch the flu. I’ll be better in a few days.”


    “It might not be the flu.” Although Leanna was just guessing this and could not be sure either. “Let the


    doctor have a look. If you do have the flu, then you recover faster on the doctor’s medication.”


    By this point, Zoe had had it with the nonstop suffering, and she had not been eating for two days, so


    she followed Leanna.


    As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Leanna had Zoe sit down and wait for her while she went to get


    Zoe registered.


    After the registration, Leanna came back to help Zoe up. “Let’s go.”


    Yet, Zoe realized the entrance to the doctor’s office read ‘gynecologist’, making her wide-eyed. “Did


    you bring me to the wrong room?”


    Leanna replied, “Just in case. Just go in and check.”


    Laughing dryly, Zoe said, “Isn’t this going too far for a joke? I haven’t even had sex….”


    She stopped in the middle of the sentence. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t! When I did it with Danielst time, we didn’t


    take any safety precautions, but I did take the birth control pill after. I don’t think I’m that ‘lucky’, right?


    Leanna consoled her. “No matter what, I think you should check it out. If the result is negative, then it’ll


    be a relief. If it is…”


    After a pause, she breathed in and said, “We’ll see.”


    Zoe walked in, feeling as if she was not in control of her body, for she had no idea what the doctor


    asked her, even though she answered all of them.


    Leanna apanied her throughout the whole checkup while Zoe’s thoughts drifted away.


    In the end, when the result came out, it showed that she had been pregnant for thirty days then,


    causing her to nearly faint on the spot. Even lottery ticket buyers aren’t that lucky! Besides, it was only


    that one time! I had taken a birth control pill after too!


    Returning to the doctor’s office, Zoe almost stated without hesitation, “I don’t want the child.”


    The doctor looked at her before checking the results. “Just think about it for now. It’s best if the


    operation takes ce between the forty-fifth and sixtieth day of pregnancy. You cane half a month


    later.”


    Feeling as if her world was crumbling, Zoe asked, “Can’t it be… now?”


    This prompted the doctor to say, “If you do it at the opportune time, your womb won’t go through any


    complications or suffer from uterine perforations. Since you’re still so young, you’ll want to have


    offspring in the future, so I would advise that the health of your bodyes first.”


    “But—”


    Leanna put her hand on Zoe’s shoulder, stating gently, “Zoe, just listen to the doctor.”


    Hanging her head low, Zoe stopped talking.


    Just as they exited the hospital, she felt as if she was going to puke again.


    Leanna bought water for her and asked, “Will you tell this to Daniel?”


    “I think I won’t.” Zoe’s face had somehow be even paler. “It was an ident, after all. We did it


    under mutual consent. Who would’ve thought anything woulde of it? Besides, he’s not one to


    settle down. So what if I told him about my pregnancy? Will I force him to marry me? He might think


    that I nned everything.”


    Leannaforted her. “Just be more open-minded. After all, not everybody is like Aidan.”


    Zoe stayed silent. Sigh.


    On the way back to the office, Leanna suggested, “I think I’ll just send you back home. Rest up for


    now.”


    In no mood whatsoever to work, Zoe nodded before looking out the car window.


    After sending Zoe back home, Leanna went to the supermarket to buy supplements for pregnant


    women, fruits, and vegetables. Passing by the pharmacy, she hesitated for a while, yet she still bought


    a bottle of folic acid in the end.


    She returned to Zoe’s home and put everything in the fridge. “I think I’ll be quite busy in this period, so I


    don’t think I’ll be able toe to visit you often. If you’ve finished eating all the food, just tell me. Don’t


    order delivery food either. I’ll tell Alice toeter to cook dinner for you.”
