Randall’s topic about Charlotte and mommy Amelia was never brought up again. Even though I knew Randall’s decision would enrage mama Amelia, I never considered it. I don’t mind if Randall wants to talk about it, and I don’t mind if he doesn’t want to cut his ties with Charlotte. I’m not paying attention to that initially right now. I’m more aware of my sudden shifts in emotion and feeling.
It’s been a week since my last appointment with my doctor.
I’m back in the bathroom, and I’m feeling sick. Randall had gone early for work, so he couldn’t have seen me in this circumstance again. I need to act quickly because I will go later to the hospital to get the findings. If I’m pregnant, I’ll also get a checkup to see how I’m doing.
I’ll head to the Phoenix Corporation company once I am done, to see what’s going on there. It’s not good for me to just sit here and wait for the next disaster to strike the company, especially when Archer and aunt Helena are in charge. I’d take the business from Archer if I could just simply snatch it from him, but that’s not feasible because he’s also one of the heirs.
A basic flexible dress is what I’m wearing today. My arms appear to have expanded in size. My face is also turning a little chubby. Randall saw how hungry I was, so I bought a lot of milk to make sure I had enough milk in case I was pregnant.
I walked a long distance to locate a cab because there was no driver. I felt like I was strolling in a faraway village as soon as I arrived at the parking lot; it was nice, and I kept wet tissue in my bag so that I wouldn’t sweat too much and stink up the place. I was taken to the hospital right away.
I was wondering about Ava in the cab because she hadn’t texted me yet. I just knew she’d gotten out of the country. At first, I was shocked since I had no idea if Turstin was aware of the situation.
I rushed to the hospital after getting of the taxi; thankfully, the doctor was already inside, so I didn’t have to wait long. He ordered a nurse to take me to my room straight away. They won’t conduct an ultrasound, since ultrasounds are only done in the first trimester to determine the due date. I believe they will ask only a few questions rather than a full physical examination. I am not quite sure because I’m not an expert on the matter.
They asked me to put on a hospital gown again and scan me in the MIR as soon as possible. When we are done, I saw the slightly larger circle once again on the monitor. The doctor turned to face me and gave me a confident gaze.
“Take a look at this.” He made a circle with his finger. “A tumor won’t develop quickly in a week if it’s a tumor. Of course, if the food is stuck due to an unknown sickness or any other reason. Because you’re digesting food, it doesn’t remain and goes gone. Follow me into my office while I ask some additional questions to confirm.”
I followed him right away. I wasn’t mistaken; his queries were all about how I was feeling. I was undergoing morning sickness. He stated that morning sickness is common and that pregnancy is usually challenging, so I should be extra cautious. I feel my heart and head float as he explains things to me.
“This is the outcome of your last physical examination. Is your friend, in any case, not going to accept her results? The results have already been released. Just tell her when she can take it, and I’ll take care of the rest. After all, the doctor who examines her will request a leave of absence.” He then handed me the brown envelope and walked away after saying that.
I wasn’t sure if I should be glad or frightened as I walked out of the hospital since I was concerned Randall wouldn’t like it and wouldn’t be ready yet. When I was exiting the building, a car abruptly came to a halt in front of me. I assumed he had stopped by accident, but as he down the window, I was shocked to see it was Alex.
How did he get here? My eyes widened instantly. What brings him here?
He grinned as he waved at me. I’m not sure what I’ll do since I’m afraid of what Randall would say, and based on his previous reactions, I’m sure he won’t like it if he finds out I’m seeing Alex. I don’t want it to be a source of contention between us. Especially when he chose to stay away from Charlotte.
I know there are still a lot of unresolved questions between us, but I want to wait for the day when he tells me the truth because I believe he has a reason for not telling me.
I was about to inform him that I had to go and wouldn’t be able to accompany him when he lifted his hand to greet me again, but I noticed something. The ring on his middle finger caught my eye. I’d overlook it if it was simply a regular ring.
However, the ring on his finger looked identical to the ring in my company’s office drawer.
