Chapter 100
100. PREGNANT
CELINE’S POV
My eyes flickered, and when I finally opened them, I discovered that I was in a room in a hospital. When I thought back about Sebastian’s terrified reaction when he spotted the blood on my nightdress, I couldn’t help but shake my head.
I tried to reassure him that it was nothing serious, and just a normal period… but he was so concerned that he even took me to the Anderson hospital. I was about to sit up when I felt someone’s arm wrap around my waist, and I could feel a warm, steady breath coming from above me.
I looked up and the man’s perfect jaw was pressed against my forehead.
“Uh…” I wanted to get out of his arms almost instinctively as I uttered a slight groan. However… even my slight movements were enough to startle the man who was holding me in his arms.
His voice was raspy as he murmured, “Hmm… you’re awake?”
I removed his arm from its wrapping around me by carefully lifting it up and away from my body. “I have already told you not to bring me here anymore. It’s nothing more than a period…”
Sebastian gave me a pitiful smile as he intertwined our fingers and es. It was evident that he hadn’t been getting eyes were red and his hair was a mess.
stared intently into enough sleep
“You're throwing… and you keght. But now thate away?” Festful sleep, you’re to yourself
I rolled my eyes at him before casting my gaze elsewhere. “Why are we still here?”
“How are you feeling right now?” he asked, instead of answering my question. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
How do I feel?
Nothing…
I grimaced and pushed him so that I could stand up, but I let out a gasp when I felt a searing agony throughout my body.
“Don’t move, just continue to lie still…” Sebastian jumped to his feet, quickly grabbed a glass of water, and then handed it to me.
… I’m not thirsty…” I mumbled, shaking my head. “Excuse me, but ! have to use the restroom…”
“Okay…” he sighed as he handed me the glass of water. “Drink this first, and then I’m going to help you with the catheter so that you can go to the restroom without ha ssle…”
My hand froze from taking the glass from his hand. “Catheter…?”
I slowly bowed my head and looked down to see that a transparent tube had been attached from the fluid IV bag to the back of my hand.
“W-what happened?” I inquired while squinting in bewilderment.” What’s this?”
“You’re pregnant, Celine…” he seemed to be very dissatisfied as he informed me about this news.
Me? Pregnant?
The B-Mode Ultrasound image I showed everyone was fake. I just bought it on the black market!
“…I’m pregnant?” my lips trembled as I shook my head in disbelief handing him back the glass that I didn’t touch. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself. “How could that be? I had my period last month…”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Then how was your period last month…?” he groaned. “Was there a very small amount of blood? You thought the small amount of blood was your period, so you didn’t give it much thought, right…?”
As he continued to glare at me, the wrinkles on my brow deepened. “H -how did you know?”
“Celine… Why don’t you take better care of yourself? Can you please come to the hospital when you’re not feeling better? Do you even realize that if you had arrived just ten minutes later, you would have been too late to save your life? You must have lost a significant amount of blood, da mn it!” he yelled at me while directing his venomous gaze toward me, scolding me like I was a kid.
“Uh… what exactly do you mean?” My voice sounded like a feeble whisper when I posed the question, but it didn’t bother me the way he talked to me, even if I was a little bewildered. The only thing I care. about knowing right now is my current health condition.
I was aware that if I were indeed pregnant, it was quite unlikely that I would have suffered a miscarriage.
After he announced, “You’ve had an ectopic pregnancy…” my entire body, including my breathing, froze up in response to his words.
Ectopic pregnancy…
“According to the doctor, an ectopic pregnancy would have slight occasional bleeding, but if you’re careless, you’d probably mistaken as your monthly period…” he paused to see my reaction, but I gave him a blank one. “However… having an ectopic pregnancy is exceedingly risky, and the doctor said… it’s possible that a significant amount of internal bleeding could occur in a relatively short length of
time. If you don’t take action soon, it could be dangerous for your life…”
I was rendered dumbfounded by what he had just explained to me, and I found that my attention was beginning to wander. I had my period last month, and Sebastian was absolutely right. It was much less than usual.
At that point in time, I couldn’t have cared less about it. It occurred to
me that perhaps it was due to the fact that I was overtired and anxious about the plans I had in place for the Lauren family.
But I wasn’t prepared for that…
While I was staring blankly ahead at nothing in particular, my hand found its way to my stomach and caressed it gently.
There was a child here? My baby… Sebastian and mine’s baby…
The room was engulfed in agonizing silence, and I had an overwhelming sense of guilt.
Sebastian took a deep breath before staring at me, and based on the expression on his face, I couldn’t tell if he was upset at me or not; nonetheless, I didn’t give a hoot about it at all.
“So… did they remove both of my fallopian tubes or only one?” | asked him all of a sudden, and the scowl that was already present on his face became even more pronounced.
His chest was heaving up and down, and he had his fists clenched on his sides. His voice was low as he snarled, “Who said that?”
“I had a neighbor on the island, and she too had an ectopic pregnancy…” I started to tell him a story. “After they had saved her, they informed her that both of her fallopian tubes would need to be removed. From that day onwards, she couldn’t get pregnant normally…
“Then you’re luckier than she is…” he said. “Because they only removed one of your fallopian tubes. In spite of the fact that
becoming pregnant will be more difficult in the future, at least you will still have the chance…
“Really…?” As I looked into Sebastian’s eyes, I let out a sarcastic chuckle. “All right, that settles it…”
“Are you worried that you won’t be able to get pregnant in the future?” He asked while elevating my chin slightly.
I glared directly into his eyes while sneering and shaking my head in response. “That wasn’t something I was considering. If I were to become pregnant with Anderson’s heir, I would rather have both of my fallopian tubes surgically removed…”
Sebastian’s face turned very dark all of a sudden, and I was startled enough to tear my eyes away from him and shake his hand from my chin.
“I would appreciate it if you could excuse yourself, Mr. Anderson. I have to get some sleep!” I laid down on the bed and turned my back on him.
When I felt his footsteps walking away from me, I bit my lips tightly, trying to prevent myself from crying, and when I finally heard him slam the door shut, I let out a loud so b and my shoulders shook violently.
