Chapter 316


    Chapter 316 Pregnant


    Something crossed her mind, and her face nched.


    Was Lucia...


    Just then, the man''s voice came to her ear.


    "Jeanne, what''s wrong?"


    Jeanne snapped back, panicked a little, and hurriedly put on a smile.


    "No...Nothing."


    August said, "Okay, I''m going to have an internal meeting.You can go back for a rest."


    Jeanne nodded obediently.


    Out of the normal, she didn''t insist on staying.

    Instead, she excused herself, "I''m going to the bathroom."


    She quickly got up, trotted outside, looked around, and saw Lucia in the corridor.


    She rushed over and called out, "Lucia, wait!"


    Lucia halted, looked back, and asked wonderingly, "Ms.Kelly, what''s wrong?"


    Jeanne disguised the calction in her eyes, waved her phone, and smiled, "Nothing important.There


    are some photos of the engagement ceremony I''d like to share with you."


    Lucia hesitated and intended to decline.


    However, Jeanne found one picture and showed it to her.


    In the photo, four beautiful people were standing in a row.


    When she saw the sullen face of the man standing beside Jeanne, she hesitated for a moment and


    somehow agreed, "Send it to me."


    "Okay!"


    Jeanne said, sending the photo to Lucia.


    Intentionally or unintentionally, she continued, "Paul and you look like a perfect couple when you stand


    together.You''re made for each other"


    Lucia forced a smile but made noments.


    Jeanne nced at her and asked with feigned casualness, "By the way, how was the fish soup? It


    seems you don''t quite like it."


    A little surprised, Lucia replied, "It''s good.I''m just feeling unwell today.It''s not about the soup."


    Jeanne''s eyes glimmered.She curled her lips and muttered, "Good to know.I thought our chef had done


    a poor job."


    They chatted for a while and parted.


    When Lucia walked away, Jeanne stood there with a sullen face and subconsciously clenched her fists


    that hung on her sides.


    Given what happened between Lucia and August, she had to be cautious.She would allow no


    idents to happen.


    At that, she held up the phone to make a call.


    When the line was through, she said in a subdued voice, "Mark, help me keep an eye on someone."


    Since the race, Lucia had been suffering from sickness, dizziness, and inappetence.


    The symptoms made her suspect that Jonathan had drugged her.She thought she would be fine after


    resting for one night.


    The next morning, her condition only got worse.She brought breakfast to the office and just had a bite


    of the sandwich when her stomach started to churn.


    The sickness came back.She almost spat it out.She looked at the sandwich but lost her appetite.


    Emma came over, saw Lucia gazing at her breakfast, and asked curiously, "What''s wrong? It doesn''t


    taste good?"


    Lucia frowned and responded, "Not really, I''m just feeling sick."


    After the initial surprise, Emma leaned over and said anxiously, "It started yesterday.It could be a


    gastrointestinal problem, food poisoning, or..."


    She dragged her voice, "Pregnancy!"


    Luciaughed and patted her colleague.


    "You can''t be serious.How is that possible?"


    Emmaughed and whispered, "Just kidding, but it can be serious.You''d better go to the hospital for a


    checkup."


    Lucia put away her smile and said, "You''re right.I''ll go the hospital during lunch break."


    Half an hour to lunch break, she gave Emma a notice and left for the hospital.She had a series of


    examinations, including gastroscopy and ultrasound before waiting for the results outside.


    For some unknown reason, she felt ill at ease.She was afraid her condition was as bad as Emma said.


    40 minutester, she went to get the reports.


    Her intestines and stomach were fine.


    At the pregnancy testb, the doctor looked at her and said ndly, "You''re pregnant."


    Lucia''s mind was blown.She wondered if she had heard it wrong.


    "What?"


    The doctor, who seemed ustomed to this kind of reaction, repeated in a clear voice, "You''re


    pregnant"


    Lucia was blown away, freezing there for a long time.


    How was that possible? She hadn''t gotten close to any man except for August.


    The doctor said sinctly, "You''re pregnant for five weeks.Think about it.Do you want the baby or


    not?"


    Lucia muttered to herself.


    "Five weeks.I''m pregnant for five weeks."


    She recalled and found it matched the time when she was with August.She squeezed her hands.Her


    palms were sweating.She was torn.


    What happened after her previous pregnancy resurfaced in her mind.


    The pain of losing her child came back to her.


    It had haunted her on those darkest nights.


    Women were strange.


    When they were not pregnant, they were resistant to it.


    When they turned into mothers, the little lives in their wombs seemed to connect with them.


    They couldn''t bear to part with their children.


    Twice in a row, her babies didn’te at the right time.


    Given her current rtionship with August, she was in no position to have a baby for him.


    "Have you made your decision?"


    The doctor''s voice brought her back to reality.


    The corners of her eyes were wet.


    She took a deep breath and replied, "I need more time to think about it."


    With that, she picked up the report from the table and left.Her mind was a mess.


    In such a condition, she couldn''t make any decisions.She went out of the hospital and walked down the


    road.


    After a long time, she started to ept the fact.


    The arrival of this baby might be the will of God.


    Another little angel was sent over to make up for her loss.


    The knot in her heart started to be undone.She wanted to keep the baby, but would August agree?
