Chapter 9 An Accident
Chapter 9 An Accident
"Boss, that woman is looking for a house. She seems to come out alone."
Listening to the report from his subordinate, Richie's eyes twinkled with excitement.
After a long while, he said, "Okay, keep watching."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to the resume on the table and thought for a while. Finally, he decided to write down his name.
Without Harry and Sheryl, Consuela's life had become easier and happier.
After so many years, she had been taken good care of. At the beginning, she was not used to it, but it seemed that everything had become quiet as time went by. She lived by herself, learning to cook and wash clothes.
Time was indeed the best medicine to cure everything. She not only slowly released from the accident, but also tried to put down her affection for Harry and wish him and her sister Sheryl happy.
Although the process might be difficult, at least she had made a start.
Everything went back to normal. Consuela was very satisfied with her current job.
When she thought everything was over, the God cracked a joke with her.
In the evening, when she dreamed of a baby, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't been to see her "relative" for a month. Then she suddenly jumped out of the bed, took out the free pregnancy test stick she got on the way and rushed into the bathroom.
She squatted down in the corner and her hands trembled when she saw two red bars on it.
How could it be possible?
She held her breath and her heart beat faster and faster. She couldn't believe the truth.
She shook her head, suspecting that there was something wrong with the pregnancy test kit, and quickly got up to buy another ten.
Two bars
Two bars
Or two bars
Her face went pale.
She thought her period had been changed because she lived alone and ate something.
Now What should she do?
Being in a panic, Consuela didn't think too much. She grabbed her purse and rushed out of the house as if it was the last straw that she could clutch at. She was going to the hospital to have a blood test. Maybe there was something wrong with the pregnancy test stick.
She had only walked a few steps before she felt dizzy. She gritted her teeth and held on.
She took a deep breath and was about to call for a taxi.
At this moment, however, she was suddenly dazzled. Before she waved her hand, she felt as if all her strength had been sucked away. She fell down, without consciousness.
A middle-aged woman, who was passing by, saw the scene and immediately came to help Consuela. She tried to stand firm and shouted, "Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?"
There was no reply.
The middle-aged woman became a little anxious. She immediately asked a few strong men nearby to help her. After all, it was a matter of life and death.
In a hurry, some of them wanted to hail a taxi to take her to the hospital, but no taxi stopped to help. They were all full of passengers.
They had no choice but to turn to the private car.
"Sir, can you help me? There is a girl who fainted suddenly. We want to take her to the hospital... " Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hearing the noise, Richie frowned. But he still asked the driver to open the window.
People outside the window looked worried. A big man was carrying an unconscious woman on his back.
When he saw her face clearly, his brows were knitted more tightly. It was her, wasn’t it?
"Mr. Richie, this..." the driver asked with some embarrassment.
He stopped because of waiting for the traffic light. He didn't expect it.
After a few seconds of silence, he said coldly, "Let her get in the car and take her to the hospital."
Upon hearing the order, the chauffeur immediately did what he had been ordered.
Instantly, he put the unconscious woman next to him. A passer-by wanted to take her to the hospital, because he didn't know whether the strange car owner would really send the girl to the hospital in time.
"I only asked her to get in the car, not to mention you two can get in." Richie pointed at him.
Everyone looked embarrassed.
He didn't want to explain too much, so he told the chauffeur to start the car.
"Mr. Richie, but... We need to go there as soon as possible... " The driver hesitated.
"Postpone it," he answered straightforwardly.
He turned to look out of the window without casting another glance at her.
In the hospital, Consuela had a check-up on her and the doctor gave her an infusion.
"Mr. Richie, don't worry. She fainted because she suffered from hypoglycemia at the same time." The doctor smiled respectfully. Everyone knew that offending Richie meant living out this city.
"Yes." Richie nodded, without any expression on his face.
The doctor hesitated.
"What do you want to say? Say it." He was a little impatient.
"Well, this woman, she... She is pregnant. " The doctor said bravely.
The expression on his face suddenly changed.
"How long has it been?"
The doctor answered, "About two months."
two months?
Richie frowned. It had been almost two months since that incident happened. The time was in line.
Maybe
A guess came to his mind, and he said, "No matter what kind of method you use, don't let this woman abort her child."
The doctor immediately replied, "Okay, you can rest assured."
He didn't stay there because he was in a hurry.
After leaving the hospital, he made a phone call.
"Make an investigation on Consuela's relationships in the past two months, including..." He paused, "Find out whether she had sex with other men?"
When she woke up, she found herself in a hospital. She grabbed a nurse and asked, "Did a passer-by bring me here out of kindness?"
Not knowing what was going on, the nurse replied, "Yes, maybe."
Consuela heaved a sigh of relief. She was glad that the man wasn't Richie.
The doctor had rushed to the ward as soon as he heard of the news. The reason why she had woken up from her coma was because of Richie.
"You should keep a happy mood and don't work too hard. Don't eat too much..." After being reminded a lot of things, the doctor finally said, "This is good for your baby."
She licked her dry lips and stammered, "Doctor... Doctor, you... What did you just say? "
The doctor showed no sign of impatience and repeated, "You must protect the baby in your belly."
"Am I really pregnant?"
"Yes." The doctor nodded. He adjusted his glasses. He did not forget what Richie had warned him before he left, so he said, "So you have to protect the baby in your womb carefully. No matter it was an accident or a product that would come into being, you should protect it well. You are too weak to conceive a baby if it is aborted. "
The color drained from Consuela's face as soon as she heard the doctor's words. Her face was as pale as a ghost.
At this moment, her mind was occupied by two things.
First, she was really pregnant.
Second, the baby was belong to that man.
Besides, she couldn't give up this child!
She had never thought about it. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Consuela huddled herself up in the quilt, feeling blank. She held back her tears. She was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
No one could help her. She could only face it on her own.
After calming down, she decided to accept the fact.
She had no choice. Maybe life would change a lot because of this sudden child, but at least she was his mother.
With this in mind, she felt that life was so magical. She gently touched her belly and unconsciously sighed.
After leaving the hospital and going back home, Consuela was about to have a rest when she received a text message.
"Congratulations! You're hired by Sruthan Group. Please come to the meeting room on the ninth floor of Sruthan Building at 9 am tomorrow."
Consuela's jaw dropped.
When she came to her senses, a big smile appeared on her face.
Finally, there was one good thing happening!
"Baby, I can make money to feed you!"
The next day, Consuela knocked on the door of the meeting room, her face full of expectation as she was well dressed up.
"Come in."
The moment she opened the door, all the expectations in her eyes turned into ashes.
