CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 181: FAREWELL (PART 5)

He said many inexplicable things to her, but each of his words stirred ripples in the once-dead lake of her heart.

She could actually feel his tolerance and care for her...

However, her heart was already fearful and would no longer allow herself to sink because there were too many problems laid out before them in reality...

Christine advised, "Becca, if you still love him, why not trust him once more and let him handle all those issues."

"Handle?" Rebecca Quentin laughed sarcastically, "He never even thought of dealing with Alice’s matters. One moment he can express his care for me, and the next, he can be intimate with another woman... I’m really glad I didn’t make the wrong decision this time, otherwise, seeing the news of him taking Alice for a prenatal check-up today, how could I possibly bear it?" He kept everything from her; she didn’t even know he had brought Alice back to New York...

Christine hugged Rebecca Quentin’s trembling shoulders, "Okay, Becca, stop talking, seeing you like this makes me feel bad..."

Christine stayed in T City for three days.

She originally planned to return to Y City on the fourth day, but unexpectedly, on the morning of the fourth day, Christine discovered something was off with Rebecca Quentin.

Because Rebecca Quentin vomited again while having breakfast...

This was already the third time in four days since she lived here.

As a woman and as someone who has been through it, she couldn’t help but be sensitive.

So, as Rebecca Quentin covered her mouth and retched towards the trash can, Christine handed her a glass of warm water for rinsing, and suddenly said, "I think you need to go to the hospital for a check-up."

What Christine said made Rebecca Quentin’s body froze, and she choked on the water, coughing several times.

Christine hurriedly patted Rebecca Quentin’s back, "You should be careful."

After the coughing subsided gradually, Rebecca Quentin began seriously considering the issue Christine had just mentioned.

Christine looked at Rebecca Quentin’s suddenly pale face, and said softly, "Don’t you feel anything about your own body?"

After giving birth, she had her period once...

Later, under his coercion, she had a few instances of intimacy with him. In her memory, a few times they didn’t use protection, but whenever it was in the danger period, she took emergency contraceptives...

Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s puzzled expression, Christine kindly reminded her, "Miss, I must tell you that even condoms are only 99% effective."

"No, it’s impossible." Rebecca Quentin shook her head, insisting.

Christine gently supported Rebecca Quentin’s trembling body in panic, "I think you’re more fertile than most people."

"But I just gave birth..."

"Just because you recently gave birth doesn’t mean you can’t conceive again. As long as you have your period, pregnancy is normal."

Rebecca Quentin’s face turned even paler.

Christine took the water cup that Rebecca Quentin had been gripping tightly, "Come on, let’s sit in the living room and think about solutions."

Rebecca Quentin was already at a loss, supported by Christine as they walked to the living room.

The two sat down on the sofa in the living room, Christine asked, "Do you have any medical records? Without records, you have to wait in line at the hospital."

Rebecca Quentin shook her head in a daze.

Christine then walked to Rebecca Quentin’s room, took out the bag that Rebecca Quentin usually kept her documents in, and said seriously, "Once Andrew wakes up, we’ll go to the hospital."

Rebecca Quentin seemed to finally react, voicing her refusal, "I’m not going."

Christine sat next to Rebecca Quentin and said softly, "You’re really a fool... whether you want to or not, the situation has already occurred. Now, you have no choice but to face it, what else can you do? Avoidance won’t solve any problems, besides, we might be wrong. We can figure out a solution after confirming at the hospital, it’s not impossible."

What Christine said indeed made sense...

The situation had already occurred, and all Rebecca Quentin could do was face it.

Seeing Rebecca Quentin gradually quiet down, Christine couldn’t help but offer comfort, "It’s okay, I’m here with you..."

An hour later.

Christine accompanied Rebecca Quentin to the hospital.

Because the air inside the examination room wasn’t good, Christine could only stand outside the room holding Andrew, softly reassuring Rebecca Quentin, "Don’t be afraid, maybe it’s not what we think..."

Since they were already at the hospital, it was impossible not to do the check-up, so after hesitating for a few seconds, Rebecca Quentin stepped heavily into the examination room.

After the doctor asked her about her last period and the first time she had intercourse after childbirth, they deduced that the timing could be during what she thought was a safe period.

Since it’s still early, an ultrasound wouldn’t show anything now. The doctor suggested that if she urgently wanted confirmation, she should do a blood test. If not, she could wait a month, and by then, an ultrasound would reveal the baby’s development.

Rebecca Quentin’s final decision was to go for a blood test.

The blood test results came out quickly, and after checking, the doctor confirmed she was pregnant, approximately five weeks along.

When Rebecca Quentin came out holding the report, Christine didn’t need to ask about the results; she could already tell from Rebecca Quentin’s body language because at this moment, Rebecca Quentin’s face was completely void of color, and she was teetering due to the unbearable shock.

Fortunately, Christine was holding Andrew and quickly freed a hand to support Rebecca Quentin, preventing her from fainting in the hospital.

"Sit for a moment."

Christine asked Rebecca Quentin to sit on the bench in the corridor.

Rebecca Quentin sat blankly on the chair, holding the examination report tightly in her hand.

Christine sat down beside Rebecca Quentin with Andrew in her arms and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Rebecca Quentin replied confusedly, "I just scheduled a surgery with the doctor, he said it can be done in an hour."

Christine was astonished, "How can you decide so quickly?"

Rebecca Quentin numbly stared ahead, "I can’t keep this child."

"Becca, regarding the child issue, I hope you’ll reconsider... although you already have Andrew and don’t plan on having any more ties with Howard Geoffrey, children are little angels given by heaven. Missing this one doesn’t guarantee there will be another."

Christine particularly cared about children because she was told by doctors, due to her heart condition, she couldn’t have kids, as there was a chance her children could inherit her illness. So with Skyler Jones, she terminated two pregnancies; however, when she later wanted to try conceiving again, it became really difficult, and it was only with great difficulty that she had Marilyn Quinn... this was why she insisted on having Marilyn.
