Chapter 1292: Chapter 1295: She Can’t Afford This Baby (Additional Chapter 1) Chapter 1292: Chapter 1295: She Can’t Afford This Baby (Additional Chapter 1) “I… Last ti…”
Lily was taken aback, and then it dawned on her.
“You an, I… I’m pregnant!?” She placed her hands on her abdon, unable to believe what she was hearing as she looked at Jacob.
Jacob shook his head, “I can’t be certain, but considering the symptoms you just described, and what Diana told . If we do the math, it’s possible, since you stopped taking the pill.”
“But even though I feel nauseous, it feels more like a stomach bug. Morning sickness usually happens when you eat or sll food, I haven’t had that…”
“Who says morning sickness must be triggered by food slls? Every pregnancy is different, and even for the sa person, the symptoms can vary from one pregnancy to another. So won don’t have morning sickness at all, and there’s no hard rule about what might trigger it. Think about it, have you missed your period for a long ti?”
“I… It’s true that my period was late this month, I thought it was because I stopped taking the pill.”
She had looked it up online when she stopped taking the short-acting contraceptive pill, it was indeed possible to experience nstrual irregularities.
Since she hadn’t had any significant symptoms, she hadn’t thought much of it.
“No matter what, Doctor Richardson, please check for . But please keep it confidential, just say it’s a routine checkup or sothing. Don’t let anyone know I’m getting a pregnancy test.”
Jacob raised an eyebrow slightly, puzzled, “Why?”
Considering she had decided to stop taking the pill and was willing to have Mason Scott’s child, discovering a possible pregnancy should be a cause for joy.
There was no need to be so secretive.
“I…” Her delicate, beautiful fingers slowly clenched.
Lily looked down at her whitened knuckles, her voice filled with determination, “I’m not sure I want to keep this child.”
“You’re thinking of aborting it!?” Jacob’s eyes widened.
As a doctor, he actually detested those irresponsible parents.
If they didn’t want a child, why not take contraceptive asures? Every life is priceless.
“No, that’s not it.” Lily’s voice was very soft, filled with a timid sweetness.
It had been a long ti since she’d felt this way. Since the Reddington family had found her, she had grown into a confident, radiant woman.
But at this mont, she felt so lost and helpless.
And she felt so guilty and ashad.
“Doctor Richardson, it’s not that I don’t want this child… I’m just afraid I can’t afford to have him…”
Tears, which had been at bay, started falling from her brimming eyes, one by one.
Dropping onto the back of her hand.
They were just ordinary tears, but they felt as hot as molten lava, the burning sensation spreading from her hand straight to her heart.
“Why can’t you afford it?” Jacob was also taken aback.
The woman crying helplessly and sadly in front of him was the Reddington family’s miss.
She was no longer the weak woman he had known years ago.
But now, she was still crying just as sadly, as if it were years ago.
This ant that her sorrow was truly coming from the heart, and this sorrow stemd from the child inside her.
Then, he heard Lily say, “Because… if I count back six weeks from the first ti I felt nauseous, that was when… I had just taken ergency contraceptive pills.”
She had been pregnant twice before, and both tis she started to experience symptoms at 6 weeks pregnant.
That ant, if this ti were the sa as the previous two, the first bout of nausea she felt wasn’t even on the morning she ca to the hospital to visit Mason Scott.
She rembered feeling nauseous quite early on but hadn’t paid it much attention then.
Now recalling it made her break into a cold sweat.
Because the date of conception was perilously close to when she had taken that ergency contraceptive pill.
