Rosalind suddenly remembered the look in Ulric’s eyes that day.
With fiery eyes, he asked her, if she had ever considered his feelings, even just a little bit.
At that time, Rosalind thought he was hoping she would forgive his mother for the sake of him. Now she realizes that he was questioning her about the trust he ultimately did not gain.
Yes.
She truly didn’t trust Ulric. From beginning to end, she never felt at ease with letting Ulric get involved in this matter, fearing that he would act unfairly and protect his mother.
She couldn’t defend herself.
…
After returning home, Tilda locked herself in her room and refused to come out.
This worried Mr. and Mrs. Wales.
But they didn’t dare say much, only anxiously pacing outside her door.
Suddenly, her bedroom door opened.
Mrs. Wales quickly walked up to her. “Tilda, are you…”
“Mom, I’m fine! I want to go to the hospital to see Malcolm. I don’t know if he has been eating well or if he can be discharged today.”
“Ah, right! It seems like your cousin can be discharged today. It’s good for you to go see him!” Mrs. Wales was worried that something might happen to her daughter when she locked herself in the room. Now that she took the initiative to go out, it was a good thing. “I’ll have your father drive you there!”
“No need. I’ll take a taxi.” Tilda smiled and went over to hold her mother’s hand. “Mom, I just had a breakup. It’s not like it’s my first time experiencing this. You don’t have to worry about me! I’ll move on. I admit that I’m a little sad, but I can’t hurt myself because of Johnny, can I?”
“As long as you can move on, then I can rest assured!” Mrs. Wales breathed a sigh of relief. “Then go quickly. Do you have any money? Let me give you some!”
“No need. I have some. I earned some money from recent jobs.”
“Good, good! Let me know when you get to the hospital.”
“Okay.”
Tilda went downstairs and immediately got into a taxi.
“Central Union Hospital, please.”
While in her bedroom, Tilda became increasingly anxious as she thought about it.
Because she and Johnny had indeed been reckless for a few days, without using condoms. What was more, he didn’t let her take a shower immediately after sex.
At that time, she thought since he liked children so much, if they really had one, they would keep it. But she didn’t expect that they would break up so soon.
Tilda counted the days and realized that her period was delayed by a day. However, her period had always been irregular. Being a few days late was normal.
Better safe than sorry, she decided to go to the hospital to confirm.
On the way to the hospital, Tilda kept thinking.
If she was pregnant, what should she do?
She racked her brain but couldn’t come up with an answer. When she was lost in thought, the car arrived at the hospital.
After paying the fare, Tilda got out of the car and put on her mask and hat before heading towards the obstetrics and gynecology department.
There were many pregnant women here at different stages of pregnancy. Usually, husbands accompanied their wives for prenatal check-ups. Each face carried an expectation for a new life.
Not sure if their emotions were contagious or not, Tilda suddenly touched her flat belly.
The answer that had eluded her in the car suddenly became clear.
If she really was pregnant, should she give Johnny another chance?
He was so serious in his guarantee that nothing happened with Caroline that night and that he only accompanied her to the hospital. He even wanted her to check the surveillance footage together. It should be true then.
