    Chapter 130 Prenatal Test


    “What’s wrong? Can’t you afford the ne ticket? Shall I reimburse you instead?” La then scoffed.


    “You’re a man. Do you want Yuliana to please you?” She paused and said in a softer tone, “I don’t


    know what happened between you and Yuliana, Christopher, but she is pregnant! You can’t leave her


    alone like this. Do think about


    La hung up the phone.


    When Yuliana got home, she carefully thought about La’s advice.


    She knew very well before they went to get a marriage certificate that there would be issues in her


    marriage with Christopher. She was, however, blinded by the peaceful and heartwarming time they had


    spent together. She thought she and Christopher were just like any other married couple.


    She forgot that those problems would not go away because they had gotten the marriage certificate. At


    least, for now, she knew that there were a lot of problems between her and Christopher.


    They were aware of some of the issues, but others were unknown to them. If she and Christopher were


    able to ovee them, their marriage would be in a better ce. However, if they were unable to do


    so, their marriage would undoubtedly end. As per what La had said, they must deal with the


    problems together. Thinking back, Yuliana couldn’t deny that she had dealt with the situation wrongly.


    After all, Christopher would mind Harry, just like she minded Annabelle.


    Perhaps, what she and Christopher minded were different, but the things that bothered them were the


    same.


    Yuliana wanted to call Christopher to reconcile with him and exin herself that night. However, when


    she saw the photos sent by Lexie, she became displeased. She was so annoyed that she didn’t want to


    see him, -fet alone exin why she had acted in such a manner.


    Thinking back, Yuliana couldn’t help but wonder if she had misunderstood the rtionship between


    Annabelle and Christopher, just like how he had misunderstood her and Harry.


    Yuliana curled up on the couch and thought everything through.


    She then nced at the phone on the coffee table.


    Even though she told herself she must take the initiative, Yuliana didn’t do it as the happenings that


    night had affected her emotionally until this day.


    The next morning. Yuliana went to the hospital for a prenatal test.


    There were a lot of people in the hospital anytime and anywhere, and there were more people during


    the weekends.


    After registering at the counter, Yuliana waited for half an hour to see the doctor. After the doctor had


    asked her a few questions, the former issued several examination sheets and asked her to pay for the


    examinations.


    Yuliana paid the examination fee through her phone and went to have a blood test.


    It took her about ten minutes to wait in the queue andplete the blood test. It was rtively fast.


    She then went to the ultrasound department waiting area.


    There were a lot of people waiting to do the ultrasound as well. When Yuliana went there to queue up,


    there were already hundreds of patients before her.


    She found a chair to sit on and waited quietly.


    There were a lot of pregnant women who hade for prenatal tests, ultrasounds, and other tests


    around her. Almost all of them had someone by their side to apany them.


    Some of them were apanied by their husbands, some were by their wives, some were by their


    elders, and some were by their children.


    It seemed that she was the only one who came alone.


    Yuliana didn’t minding to do the prenatal test alone, but when she saw the people around her, she


    couldn’t help but feel lonely.


    She instantly felt down.

    Upon noticing the changes in her emotions, Yuliana slowly took a deep breath and tried to banish those


    negative emotions.


    Yuliana did not enjoy being upset, and she approached situations rationally. As a result, she convinced.


    herself that she was in good health and didn’t need anyone to apany her to the prenatal test.


    Yuliana took out her phone and clicked on Candy Crush, which she hadn’t yed for a long time, to kill


    time.


    It was a brainless game, but it could make people forget some bad things for the time being. It was


    rxing,


    too.


    After ten o’clock, there were still dozens of people ahead of her. Yuliana was not sure if she could finish


    the examination before lunch.


    Because she had to have an empty stomach for a blood test, she didn’t eat anything in the morning.


    After drawing blood, she ate a small piece of chocte. Although she wouldn’t have hypoglycemia, she


    was hungry and wanted to eat something.


    When Yuliana hesitated about leaving the waiting area and heading to the nearby convenience store to


    buy something to eat, her phone vibrated.


    Aftering to the hospital, she switched her phone to vibration mode.


    Yuliana froze when she saw the caller ID. She kept debating if she should answer it.


    However, when La’s advice from the night before rang in her ears, she decided to answer it.


    After answering the phone, Yuliana ced her phone to her ear and said nothing.


    Christopher also remained silent for two seconds before asking, “Are you not home?”


    Yuliana hummed lightly.


    Silence then filled the conversation again.


    After a moment, Christopher asked, “When will youe back?” After a pause, he added, “I don’t have


    a key.”


    Yuliana looked at the ultrasound department’s screen, which disyed each patient’s turn, and said,


    “I’m not sure, but I won’t be returning anytime soon. You should go back to your ce first.”


    “My ce?” There was a hint of mockery in Christopher’s voice when he said that. It was apparent that


    he wasn’t happy with Yuliana’s words.


    Yuliana didn’t speak.


    Christopher paused for a while. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an announcement


    coming from the receiver.


    “Madie Lee – number seventy-seven – please go to room ten at the ultrasound department for a


    checkup.”


    The broadcast was repeated three times.


    Christopher immediately eximed, “Are you in the hospital?”


    Yuliana wanted to answer him, but she couldn’t make a sound for a long time. It was as if something


    had blocked her throat.


    “Yuliana, talk to me!” Christopher couldn’t help but be anxious.


    Yuliana breathed out lightly and said, “I’m fine. There’s no need to be anxious. I’m at the hospital for a


    prenatal test.”


    The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Then, the man softened his voice and


    said, “Send me your location.”


    Without giving Yuliana any chance to reject his request, he hung up.


    Yuliana looked at the phone screen, which was dimmed for a while. She then opened WhatsApp and


    sent her location to him with the message: [I’m in the ultrasound department.]


    After that, Yuliana’s mind went elsewhere. She kept staring at the peopleing and going in a daze.


    The hospital was not far from Maple Garden, and it only took about ten minutes for one to arrive there


    by


    taxi.


    Hence, Christopher arrived rather quickly.


    There were many people in the uitrasound department. The chairs were full, and plenty of people had


    to


    stand while waiting for their turns. The reception desk was crowded, too.


    He rushed to the ultrasound department and spotted Yuliana at a nce.


    She had tied her hair into a topknot and was wearing a gray hoodie and a coat. While sitting in the


    crowd, the skinny and petite woman with snow-white skin was staring in one direction in a daze.


    Christopher didn’t immediately walk toward her. He stood there and scrutinized the people around her


    for a while.


    There were also several women sitting around her. They were all pregnant, but there was a difference


    between her and them. The others had someone by their sides. They had someone to talk to, someone


    handing them water, carrying their things, and helping them with everything.


    Yuliana was the only one who sat there by herself. She looked out of ce with the atmosphere around


    her. Yuliana was pulled back to reality by another announcement. It was patient number 90’s turn for a


    checkup. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something. Yuliana subconsciously looked at the


    entrance of the ultrasound department, and something caught her eye.


    After staring at each other from a distance for a while, Christopher walked toward her.


    Yuliana sat in thest row of the waiting area, and the distance between the seats was not spacious,


    especially for a tall and long-legged person like Christopher.


    He walked along the aisle between the chairs to Yuliana, who lowered her eyes and pursed her lips


    without saying anything.


    Christopher stared at her face for a while, and finally, his gaze fell on her peeled lips. He asked, “Can’t


    you drink water during a prenatal test?”


    Yuliana didn’t expect such a question from him. After a moment of pause, she answered, “I must have


    an empty stomach for the blood test.”


    “Empty stomach? That means she can’t eat breakfast, too. It’s almost eleven o’clock now,” thought


    Christopher.


    Christopher frowned. “Are you done with your blood test?”
