Elena's breath hitched, her mind racing to process the significance of these questions. Fear mingled with curiosity as she realized the striking resemblance between her recent experiences and the symptoms being described. A surge of realization washed over her, and she quickly conducted a mental calculation."Damn!" Elena whispered under her breath, her voice barely audible. "I'm... I'm some days late," she confessed, her eyes widening in disbelief. "But... but it's normal to be this late, right?"Elena's heart raced as she listened to the doctor's words. Every symptom mentioned mirrored her own experiences over the past few days. Fear and disbelief mingled within her, and she couldn't help but wonder if the worst-case scenario was becoming a reality."Could it be...no...it can't! I was careful, Very careful!"

Dr. Clara, her eyes sparkling with excitement, responded enthusiastically, "Yes, you are!" Relief washed over her as Elena welcomed the announcement with open arms. Curiosity tugged at her, wondering why Elena had initially acted strangely. However, she decided to allow Elena to celebrate her newfound news before probing further.As Elena's radiant smile illuminated the room, Dr. Clara took a moment to observe her patient. Elena's eyes glistened with tears of joy, her face glowing with a mixture of happiness and wonder. The room seemed to fill with an air of anticipation, a shared sense of excitement between doctor and patient.Elena closed her eyes, allowing herself a brief moment to envision the beautiful face of her unborn child. A tender smile graced her lips as she imagined all the wonderful things she would provide for her little one once they arrived in the world. Thoughts of the perfect name danced through her mind, and she could already feel the immense love she would shower
As Elena and Dr. Clara concluded their discussion, a knock echoed through the room, followed by Scarlett's anxious entrance. When Scarlett saw Elena's beaming smile, her racing heart calmed, and she took a seat beside her friend's bedside. Dr. Clara nodded at them before leaving the room, leaving the two women to their conversation.Grinning mischievously, Scarlett playfully remarked, "Smiling suits you, dear." She settled into the chair, her eyes filled with curiosity and concern.Elena's smile widened at Scarlett's teasing, but her expression soon turned serious. She took a deep breath, gathering her courage before sharing her news. "Scarlett, I'm four weeks pregnant," she revealed, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension.Scarlett's eyes widened in astonishment, her hand instinctively covering her open mouth. The room filled with a momentary silence as the weight of Elena's revelation sank in."Elena! Oh my goodness! I am so incredibly happy for you!" Scarlett ex
But her circumstances were different. The knowledge that Liam didn't desire fatherhood weighed heavily upon her, casting shadows of doubt and disappointment upon her dreams. The fear of breaking the promise she had made to him knotted her stomach, leaving her torn between her own happiness and the potential pain her revelation might cause.As Elena lay there, her thoughts spinning in a whirlpool of uncertainty, she couldn't help but wonder if her joy would forever remain muted and hidden. She yearned for a way to bridge the gap between her desires and Liam's apprehensions, to find a path where their shared love could triumph over their differences.As Elena sat in her hospital bed, she felt the need to clear her head and devise a plan to manage her pregnancy discreetly, especially around her husband Liam. Only Scarlett was aware of Elena's condition, and she was determined to keep it that way until she felt ready to reveal the news to Liam.Feeling a surge of determination, Elena swif
Elena's grin widened mischievously. "Well, it's nothing of a big deal. As my child's godmother-to-be, you will be the one supplying me with all my daily food cravings for the next month. Since I can't eat those foods at home, in order not to arouse any suspicion, I will be indulging in them at the office. Are you up to the task?"Scarlett's face lit up with delight, her cheeks practically glowing. "Aww! I'm going to spoil you silly," she beamed from cheek to cheek. "In fact, my job begins right now. What would you like to eat, darling?"Elena's heart swelled with gratitude and affection. She reached across the table, gently stroking Scarlett's hand. "Oh, Scarlett, you are the best!"Elena and Scarlett placed their orders, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their chosen dishes. As they waited, they engaged in lively conversation, savoring not only the food but also each other's company.

Elena's gaze lingered upon the mouthwatering feast spread out before her. Her stomach growled in protest, craving the delectable flavors and textures that awaited her. Every fiber of her being yearned to devour every morsel in a frenzy, but she knew she had to exercise caution. The stakes were high, and she couldn't afford to arouse suspicion.With each bite she took, Elena fought against her primal desires. Her taste buds danced with delight as the flavors exploded in her mouth, yet she forced herself to eat slowly, savoring each morsel with an air of restraint. It was a delicate balancing act, a performance that required utmost precision.As the meal drew to a close, Liam cast a glance at Elena, a hint of concern flickering in his eyes. "You hardly ate anything, love. Are you feeling alright?"Elena met his gaze, offering a reassuring smile. "I'm perfectly fine, Liam. Just not as hungry as I thought. Must be the long day catching up with me."Liam's expression softened, his worry di

I am feeling much better," she replied, her voice filled with gratitude and adoration. "Please, could you keep the food on the table? Thank you for the meal, but I don't feel like having that chicken soup. The toast and omelet will be perfect."Liam's eyes twinkled with understanding and concern as he carefully placed the tray on the nearby table, ensuring that each dish was perfectly arranged. He listened attentively to Elena's request, his desire to cater to her every need evident in his actions."Of course, my darling," he replied, his voice filled with tenderness. "I want nothing more than to ensure your complete comfort and enjoyment.

Tears streamed down Elena's cheeks, her resolve unyielding. "No, Liam. It's over. I can't subject myself to this pain any longer. And there's something else you need to know..."Liam's eyes widened, his voice filled with a mixture of shock and realization. "What is it, Elena?"Her voice quivered, her resolve unflinching. "I'm pregnant, Liam. And no matter what, I will keep this baby. But I won't subject our child to a relationship built on lies and betrayal."Liam's face paled, a mix of emotions passing over his features. "Elena... I... I didn't know."She nodded, her voice filled with a mix of sadness and determination. "Now you do. I will raise this child on my own, surrounded by love and honesty.

The sound of her retching filled the air, and Liam couldn't bear to witness her suffering any longer. Frustration etched on his face, he swiftly pulled out his phone and began dialing Doctor Clara's hospital number.Elena, sensing his intentions, struggled to stand up from the cold bathroom floor fearing one of the nurses could answer and send Liam her hospital record. She reached out and grabbed Liam's arm, her voice trembling with desperation. "Liam, please... I don't want to bother Doctor Clara. It's just a stomach bug, it'll pass. I promise."Liam looked into Elena's pleading eyes, torn between his concern for her well-be
