Chapter 401: Chapter 401 Don’t You Want My Child

Eudora was taken aback by Felicia’s sudden question.

“Why makes you say that?”

“When you were feeling unwell at home the other day, I already thought that you might be pregnant. I’ve had a similar experience when I was pregnant as well. Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up? If you’re pregnant, don’t drag it out too long. You should get to the hospital as soon as possible! You better take better care of yourself in case you really are!” Felicia smiled gently as she said.

When Eudora heard her reply, she asked casually.

“What exactly are the symptoms of pregnancy?”

Felicia burst into laughter and said, “My dear! Haven’t you been pregnant? Don’t you know?”

Eudora stayed silent a long while. Taking her silence as a plea for help, Felicia hurriedly answered her.

“Well, some common symptoms would be that you’ll get really sleepy and your stomach might feel really unwell sometimes. You’ll often feel hungry as well!”

Eudora had all these symptoms.

Plus, it had been a while since she had her period. She had merely thought that it was due to her usual irregular cycle. However, now accompanied by the symptoms Felicia had just described, she thought that she might really be pregnant.

Instantly, she started to panic. She didn’t know how or what she was supposed to feel about it.

Seeing that she had remained silent, Felicia spoke up hurriedly, “Are you too happy that you’re at a loss for words?”

Soon, Eudora came back to her senses. She didn’t want to talk about this with her anymore. Shaking her head, she bid her final farewell to Felicia and left promptly.

On the way back, her mind kept replaying the pregnancy symptoms that Felicia had told her.

She recalled the night before when Amos had suggested getting her examined. Did that mean she was really pregnant? Perhaps, Amos wanted to surprise her with the news.

Her heart was still in turmoil after calming herself down. To be honest, she was not resistant to the idea of being pregnant. The fact that she was pregnant with Amos’ child made her pretty happy.

Eudora contemplated her situation while driving back home.

When she got home, she saw that Amos was already waiting for her outside.

“Why did you go out alone? You should’ve asked me to come with you…”

“I’m fine! I’m not three years old, you know. I know that you’ve been busy these few days, and I wouldn’t want to tire you out.”

Amos shook his head, and disagreed, “It’s not tiring at all.”

He would do anything as long as Eudora stayed by his side.

However, Amos chose to keep these words to himself.

“The doctor’s here. Let’s get you checked out, alright?”

Eudora was instantly reminded of her epiphany just now, so she nodded compliantly.

Earlier that morning, Amos had gone out to prepare the items that the doctor needed for the check-up and some tools and equipment that they required for the minor surgery in their home.

Amos thought it over and decided to opt for the safest method, minimizing all possible risks to Eudora.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the room. Amos’ heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly went in.

As soon as he opened the door, Eudora was already posed to leave, staring at the doctor warily.

“What’s wrong?” Amos asked hurriedly.

Eudora was embarrassed as she said, “Amos, could we not proceed with the examination? He wants me to take off my pants!” She had never had to do that before in her previous medical exams.

She couldn’t let herself go through with it…

Amos frowned, “But you’re not feeling well. You have to get a check.”

Eudora pursed her lips and spoke, “I know what’s going on. I’m pregnant, aren’t I? Look, I’m willing to have this child, okay? Could we just stop this check-up for the time being?”

Eudora’s words hit Amos like a ton of bricks.

He looked at her, his face had gone alarmingly pale.

“How did you…”

Eudora didn’t know what was going on exactly so she started to speak casually.

“It’s my own stomach, and of course, I’d realize! When we went to the hospital the other day, the report stated that I was pregnant, didn’t it? Were you planning to surprise me with the news? Is that why you didn’t share it with me?”

Eudora instinctively leaned her head into Amos’ chest.

“Let me tell you. I’m truly surprised.”

Amos, on the other hand, merely looked at her blankly and asked, “Didn’t you say that you didn’t want a baby?”

Eudora shook her head and said, “Well, if I had a choice, of course, I’d say no. But since I’m already with child, it’s an entirely different situation we’re dealing with here! If I don’t want to just abandon it, and…”

Eudora suddenly got a little shy, her bright eyes sparkling.

She raised her head from Amos’ arms and moved closer to his ear to whisper, “We’ve been together for quite some time now and… I’m willing to have another child with you. Didn’t you say something about rewarding me last time? Well… Could we get married then?”

Amos had been waiting patiently for Eudora to rekindle her love for him ever since she lost her memories.

If she had said this to him before this, he would have been on cloud nine.

He might have even been the happiest man on earth! Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case this time around!

Amos made up his mind just then. He felt that he should not be sidetracked by this small moment of happiness when Eudora herself didn’t know the whole truth. For the sake of Eudora’s future, he had to be firmer and make wiser decisions.

With that in mind, Amos tightened his grip on Eudora’s arms.

He held onto her firmly, as though she was the most important thing in his life. Eudora yelped in pain, “Amos, it hurts!”

Regaining his calm, he finally released Eudora’s arm.

“Eudora, I’m glad to hear that. Of course, I want to marry you. If you want, we could do it now. But… This child may not be good for us at the moment. Why don’t we have another once we get married?”

Eudora was taken aback. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard come out of Amos. Didn’t he want to have a baby with her?

“I don’t understand. Aren’t we going to get married? Why don’t you want this child anymore if we’re going to be married anyway?”

Amos held his breath for a long while before speaking, “This baby, it’s…”

“It’s… not healthy,” Amos eventually decided to say. He started to push Eudora back into the examination room. “Eudora, listen to me. We can’t keep this baby. I promise you that we’ll have the next one and no matter how many you want…”

“No! I refuse!” Eudora’s temper shot through the roof. She was angry now.

“You’re lying! The child in me is still so young, and how could we possibly tell if it’s healthy or not? Do you not want our child?”
