Chapter 7: Pregnant?
Chapter 7: Pregnant?
After arriving at the hospital, Serena took the number and got in line. When it was her turn, she began
to describe her symptoms to the doctor who looked at her strangely and asked, "Have you been
suffering from drowsiness lately?"
Serena nodded.
"Do you experience nausea after brushing your teeth?" Serena continued nodding.
"Do you suffer from micturition from time to time?"
Serena felt a little weird by this question, but nodded again after thinking about it.
"How does this have anything to do with my condition?"
The doctor looked at her with a helpless expression and continued to ask her questions, "How long has
it been since your last period?"
Serena thought about it for a moment and said, "About more than a month."
After answering this question, she began to think of something that made the expression on her face
change.
The doctor smiled and asked her, "Have you had intercourse recently? You should pay more attention
to your situation. I'm not prescribing medicine at the moment. You need to get back in line and have a
more thorough checkup."
Serena left the hospital and lost her wits. She didn't have the courage to get back in line. Instead, she
went to a pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit. Once she got home, she locked herself in the
bathroom. She waited for a long time until she saw that the test result was positive. At that point, the
expression on her face became even more grave than that of a sick person. Looking at her flat belly,
she could not believe it. Everything had happened so quickly at that time, and nothing like this had ever
happened to her before. She had fled in panic and returned home, where she had been forced to get
married. Heartbroken, she had put that incident behind her and had not even remembered to take the
pill. Now, however, a little life was growing inside her body. Unbelievable!
Serena covered her mouth with her hands and still didn't believe it. She could not put herself in such a
complicated position. Maybe the result was wrong. She had to go back to the hospital for a checkup!
So, she put the kit away and placed it in the trash can. Then she got up and left the bathroom.
Because of her pregnancy, Serena felt extremely guilty, so as she left the room, she looked around for
fear that Cristian would suddenly appear.
Fortunately, Cristian did not show up for the whole day.
In the evening, Serena took a shower. After that, she dragged her suitcase to the door, took a chair and
waited here in fear.
Once Cristian was back home, he would find tha she was sitting in the chair and asleep in front of the
door.
The doctor had not prescribed any medicine for her, and she feared that she was genuinely pregnant.
Serena had ate nothing but drank only warm water all day.
She caught a cold and neither took medicine nor rested, so her condition had naturally worsened.
Staring at her, Cristian wondered if she had been sitting there all day. Of course not. She had changed
her clothes and taken a shower. And she must also have rested in her room while he was away, and
then moved to the door before he returned. She seemed to know a little about what she should not do.
"Mr. Cristian." said Luca who was a little confused " Do you want me to..."
"Leave her alone."
Luca was surprised, then pushed the wheelchair into the room. When the door closed, the noise woke
Serena up. She felt her head was so heavy and just wanted to sleep. She got up, went down the stairs
and headed to the kitchen where she got a cup of hot water. But after a few sips, she began to feel
nauseous again. She was frightened, so she hurried to put the cup down and leave the kitchen.
"I have always believed in your abilities, so I want you to take care of this matter."
"Yes, grandpa."
As she left the kitchen, Serena ran into grandpa and Leonardo who were engaged in a conversation.
Seeing Serena, grandpa's gaze turned serious and he said, "Aurora."
Unconsciously, Serena stood erectly and nodded her head with trepidation.
"What are you doing here? How come you're not in the room taking care of Cristian?"
Serena opened her mouth, but before she could even answer, Leonardo took the floor and asked her,
"Speaking of which, I heard from the maids that you slept in front of the room door last night. Do you
catch a cold?"
"What?" The expression on grandpa's face changed. "You slept at the door? How can that be?"
Stunned, Serena bit her lip and thought it was over.
How could Leonardo report this to his grandfather? If Cristian was scolded by his grandfather, would he
reveal her true identity because he was ashamed into anger? Thinking about this, Serena nervously
waved her hands and explained, " Absolutely not, Mr. Ferrari. Yesterday I was so tired that I fainted in
front of the door, but no one noticed. Once I woke up, I went into the room alone."
Grandfather's eyes were cloudy and fierce, but they seemed to understand people's hearts. After a
while, he sighed and said, " No need for you to protect him. I know what kind of person Cristian is. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Letting you marry him is undoubtedly a wrong to you."
Hearing these words, Serena raised her head in surprise. She thought his grandfather was very strict,
so she certainly did not expect that he could speak like this.
"Come on, I'll take you to Cristian."
Grandpa, accompanied by his cane, headed upstairs. And Serena slightly changed her facial
expression and said, "No need. Thank you, Mr. Ferrari."
Grandpa paused for a moment and said to her, "No need? Perhaps, do you still want to sleep outside
and let the maids argue about that?"
Leonardo, who had gone upstairs with them, added, "That's right. Beyond maids' chatter, sleeping
outside the room is not good for your health either."
Serena bit her lip and shook her head, saying, "I'm really fine. Last night I fainted without realizing it.
Tonight it won't happen again. Please, Mr. Ferrari don't worry about us. We just got married and I will
take care of Cristian."
Hearing this, grandfather remained silent, then turned and left. At that point, Leonardo looked at
Serena and asked, "Aurora, why?"
She looked at him and reassured him by saying that she was fine. Then she turned and left.
Although Cristian had leg problems, he was good-looking and smart. Although he was in a wheelchair,
people still admired him.
But before the marriage, there had never been any women around him. His grandfather arranged a
marriage for him but he didn't show up at the wedding. Therefore the maids were all tacit that the
woman who had just arrived was not held in high regard. Naturally they could not help but talk behind
her back.
On Serena's way to her room, she collided precisely with some maids and one of whom struck her
shoulder violently, causing her to stagger. She managed not to fall by grabbing the railing.
"Hey..."
"Excuse me ma'am. I didn't see you. From a distance I thought you were a maid. Excuse me, would
you like me to give you a hand?"
Although the maid had said so, Serena could see the arrogance from the maid who didn't want to help
her at all.
