Chapter 189 Struck By Lightning
The young male doctor calmly took the registration receipt from Hannah’s hand and placed it on top of the pile of receipts on the table as he glanced at Jenna.
Jenna, too, glanced at her receipt. It had ‘Donald Colton’ stated as a senior physician. She was surprised; it seemed that he was rather skilled in gynecology.
A man who specialized in gynecology. Although she knew that there were more male gynecologists at present than in the past, she still felt embarrassed.
“Give me your hand,” Donald spoke softly.
Did gynecologists usually check their patient’s pulse?
Jenna was puzzled but he was her doctor after all. She dismissed the thought and reached her hand over.
Soon, Donald’s warm fingers were placed on her wrists and he closed his eyes slightly. After a moment or two, she saw his eyebrows twitch. It felt as if her pulse started bouncing about too.
She carefully examined his face but got nothing from his usual expression. Her heart began throbbing.
“First, let’s have a check-up,” he spoke casually. He typed on the keyboard with his right hand and a report slid out from the printer.
She had to do more check-ups. Was she diagnosed with a cancer of some sort?
Jenna nervously took the report.
“Thank you, Dr. Colton,” she politely thanked him and Hannah helped her outside.
“What check-up?” Hannah grabbed the report. The doctor had signed Jenna up for a urine test. She knitted her eyebrows but did not say anything further.
“You just wait here.” Jenna smiled as they reached the restroom on the second floor. The restroom would have an unpleasant smell; she would not want Hannah to bear the odor.
“I’ll wait for you outside. Call me if you need help,” Hannah remained unassured and stood right outside.
“Thanks.” Jenna gave her a grateful smile and entered the restroom.
The smell came crashing into her face and her stomach started to surge. She came out of the restroom with much difficulty as Hannah held her to sit on an iron bench.
When did her body become so weak? Jenna breathed heavily, surprised at herself.
The test results came out fast.
While she was still scanning through the report carefully, she heard Hannah speaking beside her.
“It’s positive.”
What was wrong? She saw the word ‘positive’ on the sheet. What did it mean? She looked at Hannah in confusion.
“Jenna, you’re pregnant,” Hannah was sullen as she declared, anger visible on her face. She had guessed it beforehand.
What? Pregnant?
When those words came out of Hannah’s mouth, Jenna had almost tripped over her two feet.
She was unable to return to her senses.
Was she really pregnant? How could it be possible? Soon after, her face turned pale. She recalled that her period had been absent for months.
She broke into a cold sweat at the thought and rushed upstairs to the doctor with the medical report.
“Doctor, what kind of sickness do I have?” Jenna did not know much about physiology and had never paid much attention to those issues either. Nevertheless, her instincts told her that something was terribly wrong. She went to Donald at an instant and handed him the report as she asked anxiously for confirmation.
Donald promptly took her report and looked through it intently. He gave a polite smile and told her softly, “Miss, you’re not sick. You’re pregnant.”
She was really pregnant!
Hearing the decisive words from Donald, her vision went black and she almost passed out on the spot.
She was completely crushed by the results!
How could she be pregnant? At this time, and in this predicament?
No, there was no way.
She refused to accept the harsh reality.
“Doctor, I only started throwing up recently. Just throwing up. It’s just gastritis, please prescribe me some medicine for that,” she gulped and explained earnestly, wanting to get her words across.
Donald put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at her.
The woman in front of him was stunning with an unusual air of grace around her. Her bright eyes blinked as she explained the situation in a hurry, arousing sympathy.
Such a beautiful woman had become pregnant, her husband would certainly take care of her, would he not? Could it be…
“Miss, please trust us. Our hospital seldom makes mistakes in these tests. We are also professionally trained doctors, we won’t give you false information,” he explained seriously as his eyebrows raised a little.
Jenna had nothing left to say. She collapsed onto a chair, her mind in total chaos.
She could not go on vomiting like this, or else, she would risk getting found out by other people. After contemplating for a long time, she asked meekly, “Doctor, I don’t want to vomit. Could you give me some medicine to stop it?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“No,” Donald refused with a straight face. “Miss, this is a normal symptom of pregnancy. You can’t take any medicine, otherwise, it will risk harming the fetus.”
He sat upright and observed the unusual ‘patient’ in front of him. The woman did not have the slightest expression of joy on her face. She was pregnant but her husband was not with her. It seemed that the pregnancy was not planned at all. Such a beautiful woman but…
He squinted and said, “How about this, I’ll prescribe you some vitamin B6 and some supplements. They’ll relieve the vomiting but it won’t get rid of it completely.” He looked at her for a while before typing on his keyboard again. Several prescription sheets were then printed out.
Jenna’s mind was blank. She did not know what to say as she sat numbly on the chair.
“Every woman who is going to be a mother must understand the meaning of giving birth, and be mentally and physically prepared for it. I suggest you visit some gestation experts. I can only do this much. My apologies but there are patients waiting outside. Please see your way out and get your medicine. Take care of yourself, try not to get too tired or emotional. The fetus can only grow healthily if you are healthy and happy,” Donald advised her over and over again as he was her attending physician.
“Thank you, Doctor.” Hannah rushed in about the right time. She took the prescription sheets from Donald and brought Jenna out of the room.
“Hansen Richards, this b*stard, this a*shole, I’m going to end him once and for all today.” She pulled Jenna to a quiet corner at the hospital and started rolling her sleeves up.
Hannah was furious. Hansen got Jenna pregnant and he broke her heart. This was not something a human would do! Her disgust towards him intensified.
This day, she must bring Jenna with her to kick Hansen Richards’ a*s.
She could forgive the b*stard no more!
After being dragged along for several steps, Jenna finally snapped out of her daze.
“No, Hannah.” She thought of something and immediately grabbed Hannah. She feared that she would act recklessly, therefore she lied, “Hannah, this child has nothing to do with Hansen. Don’t go.”
Speaking of this, her heart throbbed in pain.
Aria was pregnant and at this time, she was pregnant too? What would this even amount to?
Jenna was planning to leave Hansen for good. She would never be the woman who forced a man to marry her because of pregnancy. She was better than that! It was not in her character to do so either!
…
After what had happened to Aria, could she really forgive him and return to his side?
It was impossible!
If so, her pregnancy meant nothing at all!
Her mind became messier the more Jenna thought. She needed to calm down and think this through, perhaps it was not the best time then. Nevertheless, she had to stop Hannah from going to find Hansen.
“Are you hearing yourself? The child is not his?” Hannah was completely confused. Her eyes grew wide and stared at Jenna like she was an alien. “Then, whose is it?”
Jenna turned her head away. Her voice was hoarse and hollow. “Hannah, this is my business. Please don’t ask and please don’t get involved. I appreciate everything you’ve done for me but this is enough.”
“No.” Hannah’s sharp eyes seemed to look through Jenna’s lies. She hesitated before her eyes burned with flames. “Jenna, stop lying to me. It’s impossible for the child to be someone else’s. Only that b*stard, Hansen could get you pregnant. You’re my best friend, I can’t watch you being bullied by him like this. Your father is gone and your mother is ill. If not me, no one will care about you anymore. I can’t watch you suffer. Hansen Richards, he’s not even human. I’m going to smash him into pieces. Even if he dies, I will be sure to stab him in the guts and demolish his reputation. Then I’ll let him rot in his filth for the next thousands of years and burn in hell.”
Hannah gritted her teeth and flexed her fists, her eyes red.
When she opened the door and saw Jenna lying on the sofa the previous day, she was covered in snow. Her whole body was soaked wet as the snow melted and she was horridly pale as a ghost. How was this the beautiful girl she had known? Hansen had destroyed her inside out! If Jenna were a stunning rose, Hansen had plucked all her petals and threw the remaining onto the ground to wither.
No one except for Hansen could hurt Jenna like this, no other man could ever do this!
Hannah knew this better than anyone!
She could no longer bear it this time. If she had let him get away, what about the child in Jenna’s belly? What about her reputation?
With a firm decision in heart, she grabbed Jenna’s wrist and was about to run forward.
“No, Hannah, please. I beg you, don’t do this.” Jenna desperately pulled her back with all her might. She was crying as she said, “You’re not me, you don’t understand. Please don’t be impulsive.”
“Jenna, are you weak or stupid? Are you seriously going to protect him now? Even if this has happened to you, is he really worthy of your love? If he is, it would kill him to leave you be, let alone let you stay in my house like this.”
Hannah tried to shrug Jenna off but she could not break free from her grip. Jenna had held onto her tightly, thus she stomped her feet in deep frustration.
Jenna listened to Hannah and thought of everything she had been through. Her eyes rained tears as she was wholly lost.
