Once again, the doctor looked at me before turning his gaze to Nicholas. I was getting worried at the look on his face. Am I really sick? But that's not possible. I've been eating and sleeping well, after all. Feeling tortured, I cleared my throat. “Doctor, can you just tell me what's wrong with me? Am I sick?” Nicholas grabbed my hand and tightened his grip. From that, I could tell that he was nervous, too. The doctor studied us for a while before he said, “You're fine. You're not sick.” Hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief. I knew it. It just doesn't make sense for me to fall ill. However, I was still not happy with the doctor's expression. But, if there's nothing wrong with me, why is he staring at me with that kind of look while remaining silent?Before I could grumble more about him inwardly, he cut off my thought with his next words. My heart dropped, and I was left utterly shocked. “You're pregnant, and your pregnancy's not more than three months.” Me? I'm pregnant? No way. Is this a joke? “Doctor, are you sure? How can I be pregnant? I just had my period last month. Could it be that you've made a mistake?” I asked warily. The doctor's expression fell immediately. “If you don't believe me, you can go to the hospital right away. As for the period you said you had last month, it wasn't a period. It was just some light bleeding during pregnancy. You were probably being careless since you didn't know that you were pregnant. Think about it, your menstrual flow was light and lasted for a shorter period than usual, right?” It was quite an awkward question for me to answer in front of all these men. However, the doctor's words did remind me of something. My period flow last month was indeed light and lasted for a shorter time than usual. I thought it was just irregular periods. I never thought it would have anything to do with me being pregnant. “But if I'm pregnant, why don't I feel sick?” The doctor almost rolled his eyes at me for asking this. “Not everyone that's pregnant will experience morning sickness, that doesn't mean you're not pregnant.” After pondering about it, I noticed that other than morning sickness, I experienced the rest of the symptoms. I was dumbstruck. How the hell did I get pregnant? I had been taking pills all this while. “Am I really pregnant?” Even though I knew it was most probably true, I still needed some time to process it. “Didn't I just say that if you don't believe me you can confirm it at the hospital any time? Also...” he said and paused. Also? There's an also? I can't take this anymore!“Oh my gosh, doctor. Can you please finish your sentences in one go? I can't handle this.” He glanced at me before turning to look at Nicholas as he continued, “I know you're a celebrity, but since you have a kid now, you should start making plans about it. You'll also need to pay more attention to her since she's anemic.” My mind went blank upon hearing that. Hold up! Wait a minute. Does he think the child belongs to Nicholas? “Hey, doctor. I think you've misunderstood something...” “Liliana! H-How could you?” Jake yelled. I covered my ears to protect my eardrums from Jake's hysterical screaming. And here I thought he's a smart person, but what is he trying to do yelling his head off at this situation? Can he stop adding more problems to my already-full plate? “That's enough, Jake. Please see the doctor off.” Nicholas remained as calm as ever even though he had been mistaken as the father of my child. “But, Nic!” Jake howled. Nicholas then glared at Jake with a stern look, making the latter zip his mouth shut immediately. Nicholas turned to the doctor and said, “Thank you, doctor. I'll appreciate it if you could keep this to yourself. I'll thank you personally some other day.” The doctor nodded. “It's nothing. You don't have to thank me for keeping this a secret. I'm not a paparazzi anyway.” With Jake leaving to send the doctor off, I was left in the room with Nicholas. I felt awkward not because of my pregnancy, but because Nicholas was mistaken as the father of my child. “I'm sorry, Nicholas. If the doctor ever spreads the words, I promise to clear your name myself.” He sat beside me and said gently, “There's nothing for you to worry about. Jake will take care of it.” I knew that Jake and Nicholas would take care of it. However, I was still worried since no one could really control what others said. “Don't worry, okay? I don't think that doctor is someone who will go around starting rumors. Even if something really happens, I'm here for you. I promise I won't let anything happen to you.” Nicholas was always taking care of me. Now, I was even more worried that if word got out, it would cause him a lot of trouble. He continued, “Hey, listen to me. It's really nothing for you to worry about. All I want to know right now is whether this child is Dominic's.” I pursed my lips at that and nodded. Other than Dominic, there was no one else I could think of that could be the father of my unborn child. Since I was not pregnant for more than three months, that meant that it was probably that time when Calvin took me to the bar.I realized that even though I had been taking pills, I stopped when I finished my pills last time. Not to mention that I had a fight and broke up with Dominic afterward. Hence, there was no need for me to continue taking my pills. But isn't the probability of me getting pregnant a bit too high? We haven't been intimate since forever ago. It was just that one night. So how could I get pregnant? I mean, I guess that night we did go at it like rabbits, but still... Wait, now isn't the time to think about this. Should I call Dominic and tell him about this? Will he be happy about this? “Liliana.” “Huh? What did you say?” I was lost in my thoughts and did not hear what Nicholas said. Nicholas stared into my eyes firmly as he repeated, “What are you going to do about this? Are you planning to keep it?” My mind was in a mess and I had no idea what I was going to do about this.This baby was unexpected, but it was still the baby Dominic and I had. It did not seem like I could bring myself to abandon it. However, looking at the relationship I was having with Dominic at the moment, I was not sure if the child would be raised in a happy family.
