Kisa looked sideways and saw that it was Gilbert."What do you guys want to eat? I will go downstairs and get it," Gilbert said.Kisa frowned and wondered if he had been outside eavesdropping. She shook Lea's hand and asked her, "What do you want to eat? Gilbert will go get it." But Lea just shook her head. So Kisa decided on her own. "Get some light food up here, please."Gilbert, looking as patronizingly indifferent as ever, turned around and went out. Once again, Kisa mentally scoffed at his unlikable personality."Actually, Mr. Kooper really loves you," Lea suddenly said as Kisa stared at the empty doorway, her tone of voice so devoid of emotion that it was unsettling.Kisa held Lea's hand tightly under the quilt. "Actually, I think Anthony has some feelings for you, too."Lea did not respond, as if she had not heard her. When Kisa tried to comfort her, Lea just smiled at her, her face unusually pale. "Kisa, I'm fine. You don't have to worry."Kisa looked at her. "Really?"
Kisa shook her head in disbelief. "I don't know. I have irregular periods. I had bled like this the other day, but it cleared up a day after I got a jab and took some medication. It has only been ten days. Why is it bleeding again?" Kisa mumbled in confusion. "Could it be that my menstrual disorder has worsened?"The doctor asked suspiciously, "Do you feel unwell anywhere?""I just got into an argument with someone and hit my back against the table. Then my abdomen kept hurting, and now the pain is getting stronger."The doctor's expression turned grave. "I suggest you go for a check-up right away. I will write you a referral letter now. If you are married, you are probably pregnant.""W-What?" Kisa's eyes widened in surprise, and the report in her hand dropped to the floor."This is no joke. It is better to get it checked. Don't take it as a hassle. If you really are pregnant, the bleeding is a sign of miscarriage."Shock turned into panic. Kisa did not even dare to walk but fro
Countless questions hovered in her mind. When Kisa saw the words 'signs of miscarriage,' her doubts were instantly gone. She tucked the ultrasound report away and hurried to get her blood test report.When she returned to the doctor's office, the doctor saw her anxious face and said confidently, "So, I was right—you are pregnant, aren't you?"Kisa quickly showed the doctor the two reports. "Take a look. I'm showing signs of miscarriage. What should I do?"The doctor took the reports and looked at them carefully. Her eyes narrowed, and her expression serious. Kisa was on pins and needles, feeling like an invisible hand was strangling her and that she could not breathe. After a while, the doctor said, "Your condition is not serious. Take some medicines to stabilize your pregnancy. The hCG level in your blood is good. The bleeding should be caused by you hitting the table today, which is not a big problem. Just be careful from now on."Kisa felt much more at ease upon hearing what the
Before Kisa could turn around, Gilbert had already stridden over and grabbed her arm, looking anxious. "Why are there bloodstains on your pants? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Does your belly hurt?"Kisa looked at him with all seriousness. From the worry on his face, she could surely tell that he knew that she was pregnant. She tilted her head and smiled at him absently. "It is just my time of the month. Why are you so worried?""Time of the month?""Yeah, didn't you have Kelvin examine me last time? It is just my period. It is irregular; so after ten days or so, it came back again."Gilbert stared at her sullenly. "Come with me to see the doctor.""No need." Kisa pulled her arm back and smiled faintly. "Hasn't Kelvin already examined me? I'm having irregular menstruation. Kelvin is a genius physician; he won't misdiagnose it."Gilbert took a deep breath and seemed a little anxious but did not know what to say.Kisa looked quietly at his desperate face. After a long moment, a
It was a bag, and it was opened. Gilbert looked down and saw the contents of the bag. There are several packs of medication, one of which had the word 'anti abortifacient' clearly written on it. He was about to bend down to pick it up when Kisa got to it first."So... You have already seen a doctor." He spoke in a low voice, sounding like he was relieved."Hmm," Kisa answered sullenly, not saying anything more. Gilbert also said nothing else, just staring at her expressionlessly. 'Psycho!' She cursed in her mind and then ignored him."Where is Lea?" Kisa's heart skipped a beat as she arrived at Lea's ward and saw it was vacant.Gilbert frowned. "She was still here when I came back with the food."A takeaway was sitting on the bedside table, but it had not been touched. Kisa was worried, so she quickly took out her cell phone and called Lea. To her surprise, the call was answered quickly. Lea seemed to be smiling calmly on the other end of the phone."Kisa, I didn't want to stay i
Gilbert dragged Kisa back in one motion. "Where do you think you're going? Just stay inside, sit back, and relax!" The man's tone was strong and aggressive.Kisa broke away from his hand and said, "I'm going to have a look.""It's nothing interesting. Why do you like being so nosy?""I'm not being nosy; I just want to know what Anthony will do to her. Lea is my friend. I'm worried, okay?!" Kisa said while she stared at him, a serious look on her face."This so-called friend of yours once betrayed you. How could she be even more important than the child in your womb?" Gilbert suddenly snorted coldly.Kisa did not understand why he was being so salty about it. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay. You've hurt me before. That means I shouldn't be talking to you, let alone conceive this child based on what you've said.""You..." Gilbert was so angry that he wanted to strangle the woman to death. After a long time of trying to hold himself back, he said in a muffled voice, "Whatever
Gilbert tugged on his tie as he spoke, visibly irritated. His tone was full of resentment and a hint of saltiness."Honestly, I think you deserved it. She put you first a few years ago, but you dismissed it," Kelvin sneered.Gilbert instantly narrowed his eyes into a dangerous look and said, "Get out!""Tsk. Honest advice may be unpleasant to hear, but you know I'm right," Kelvin said with a smile, not leaving the room. "Actually, you don't have to be mad. Just be there through everything she does. If she's worried about someone, pretend to worry about that person too. Listen to everything she says and obey her wishes. I'm sure she'll change her mind about you."Gilbert looked at Kelvin expressionlessly. "I'm not you," he said."Oh, why don't you get it? You must bear this anger if you want her to change her mind and focus on you. Besides, losing your temper will only annoy her more and make her feel that you're narrow-minded. Just do what I say, be gentle, understanding, and cons
Jane's face changed. She got up and stood aside, wiping her tears. Kisa watched the whole thing quietly. 'Why can't she stand before the Mullen family ancestors? Is it because the Mullen family did not accept her? Is it because she has no status in the family?' Kisa thought.Anthony clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. It was unclear if he was angry or trying to restrain himself from doing something stupid.Suddenly, Mr. Mullen Sr. threw a newspaper at Anthony's face. "Look at all the amazing sh*t you've done. I'm not going to comment on the incident at the bar, but everyone on the streets saw you and Karen hitting that woman in broad daylight. It's all over the news! Do you know what the headline reads?"Anthony knelt with his back straight without moving an inch."[Anthony Mullen's Private Life—Chaotic: Fools Around and Causes Fight Between Two Women. The Mullen Family Lacks Decency.] Our family is well-known in Athadale. Tell me, where do I show my
