Since She Met Lucian

"Uhh, yes but..." Amelia answered. She told the truth but the fact that she was recently divorced made it hard for her to speak.

The doctor noticed that Amelia was having a hard time answering her question and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It was just an honest question." The middle-aged female doctor wore her reading glasses and looked at the results shown in the report. She then excitedly said, "Congratulations! You're pregnant."

Upon hearing those words, Amelia was overwhelmed with so much emotion. She felt uneasy not having Lucian around but at the same time, she felt happy to have his child inside her.

The doctor informed her of some common knowledge about pregnancy, so Amelia listened carefully.

"Actually, we already know her pregnancy, we just wanted to confirm it with a professional," Courtney said. Courtney then whispered to Amelia, "The doctors in this private hospital like to gossip about their patients. Now that we know the diagnosis, we should go."

Realizing how embarrassing it would be for her if news about pregnancy were to spread, she nodded towards Courtney and stood up.

"I can't give you any more advice that would be useful at the moment. I need to review what I know about pregnancy. I need to be careful using the words miscarriage and abortion since there is clearly a difference between the two. Damn it!' Courtney regretfully exclaimed. She then continued in a more solemn tone, "How could I say that you should give up your child yesterday? Your child should be our motivation for the future! We have to love him or her with all our hearts."

Hearing Courtney's passionate words towards her unborn child made Amelia smile. They continued on to Courtney's milk tea shop and when they arrived and sat down, Amelia continued thinking about what to do to ease the troubles that filled her heart.

Courtney randomly asked, "Are you thinking about how to tell Jonny? Have you even figured out how to tell him?"

"I tried to tell him last night, but he suddenly said out of the blue that whatever the problem I'm facing, he will do his best to help me. I think he has an idea about my pregnancy already," Amelia replied. Amelia wondered if her worried face or constant thinking might have given it away. She felt that Jonny always had an idea of what she was feeling or thinking of.

Courtney took a sip of water and after analyzing their situation, she said, "We can't hide your pregnancy. As time goes on, it will be more obvious. Besides, I think if Jonny was the one to tell everyone, it won't do his reputation any good."

Amelia shook her head in disagreement and firmly said, "Even if I tell him, he won't tell anyone."

"Then what are you so worried about? Go tell him! You can't hide it forever," Courtney replied. Courtney had no idea as to why Amelia seemed so reluctant to tell Jonny.

Amelia's heart was full of hesitation and was left with nothing to say to her friend.

She hadn't seen Jonny for several days. He was quite busy this week. Amelia would only receive messages from him late at night.

The next morning, Amelia woke up early, cleaned her room, made herself some breakfast, and read a book about pregnancy. It was a routine she did daily.

If every day was similar to this day, Amelia would surely feel bored and lonely. But ever since she'd had a baby in her belly, these kinds of melancholic thoughts didn't seem to matter to her.
