Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Is Your Child Okay?

The couples, who were being lovey-dovey just a moment ago, were all stunned.

Thea got up quickly and rushed to the bathroom.

Harley got up and instinctively thought of going after her. However, when he saw that she had gone into the female bathroom, he couldn’t do anything but stand in the same spot.

Eudora got up quickly and went after Thea.

Harley then took a look around the room, “You’re showing off too much of your affection. You have pissed her off so much that she vomited.”

Christopher was speechless.

Amos’s eyes dimmed. It seemed that he had thought of something.

…

In the bathroom, Thea felt a little better after vomiting. Eudora handed her some purified water, “Here, rinse your mouth.”

“Thank you,” Thea took the cup.

Once color returned to her cheeks, Eudora looked at her suspiciously and asked, “Are you pregnant?”

Thea’s face turned pale.

“I… ”

“It’s okay. It’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it,” Eudora said.

Pregnancy was not something to be ashamed of, but Thea was still unmarried after all. She could understand if Thea didn’t want to talk about it.

However, Thea didn’t have many friends. She had been holding this matter to herself for too long and she needed to have this burden lifted off her chest. Now that Eudora had brought it up, she nodded instantly, “Yes, it’s been more than two months.”

“Are…” Eudora pursed her lips. “Are you planning to keep the child then?”

Since Thea trusted her so much and decided to confide in her, Eudora only wanted the best for her.

Thea nodded immediately, “Of course, I won’t abandon my child.”

Eudora knew her family’s background, hence she wasn’t surprised by her decision.

“What’s wrong with Harley? You’re pregnant yet he’s still arguing with you. I’ll talk to him!”

Eudora knew that Harley and Thea were once a couple, but they had suddenly broken up for some reason. To her, Thea had always been a conservative young lady, so she thought that it was Harley who had gotten her pregnant.

Thea’s face became paler upon hearing Harley’s name. She stopped Eudora, “No, don’t tell him. It’s not his…”

Eudora was stunned and she didn’t know what to say.

The two of them were silent for a while. Suddenly, Thea looked at Eudora’s belly again, asking, “Is your child doing alright?”

“All is good!” Eudora answered.

“What about you?”

“I…” Thea smiled faintly, “I’m doing not too bad either. Could you promise me that you wouldn’t tell anyone about this?”

Eudora pursed her lips and advised, “Okay! But I must say this, it’s hard for a single woman to raise a child all on her own. It’s not only hard on herself, but it will also have bad effects on the child’s personality in the future. Look at my Juju, I think that she’s too tough and domineering. Honestly, she’s only a little girl. She should be acting like a spoiled kid at this age, but she’s tougher than some grown-ups I know. That’s because she didn’t have a father when she was born.”

Thea stroked her lower abdomen subconsciously and responded, “I know.”

How could she not know? She was regarded as an illegitimate daughter herself. Her peers would mock her and bully her since she was young.

“Promise me that you would think this through. Don’t hesitate to come to me if you need to speak to someone. After all, I did go through the same thing…”

“Thank you, Eudora!”

After that, they got up and went back to the room.

The atmosphere in the room was significantly affected because of this incident. The gathering ended hastily.

Christopher and Tina were not a fan of staying out late. They would usually stay at home when they have free time to spare. Therefore, they went home after the gathering.

Eudora noticed that Thea did not drive to dinner, hence she offered, “Shall I send you back?”

Thea glanced at Amos and shook her head, refusing, “It’s okay. I live nearby. I could just walk home.”

Eudora knew that Thea stayed nearby and she reminded her to be careful. Then, she got into the car and left.

Eudora seemed to have remembered something abruptly after leaving. She asked, “Where is Harley? I don’t recall seeing him leave.”

Amos remained inscrutable. He muttered, “He has some business to attend to.”

…

Thea did not come to her senses until Eudora’s car had finally disappeared from her sight. Then, she walked back to her place slowly.

Her phone rang all of a sudden, and she took a peek at the screen. It was the man with whom she had a blind date not long ago.

No one from her family cared about her. However, it seemed that her family had suddenly realized she had grown up. In other words, she had become a person whom they could exploit for their own benefits.

Therefore, they arranged a blind date for her.

Finley came from a wealthy family in Rosaville City. The Stewart family said that they were well-matched in terms of family background, and both of the families could help each other out in the future.

Thea certainly didn’t like the idea, but at this moment, she thought of what Eudora said.

She had been rejecting Finley’s advances since the very beginning. However, he was so persistent that she started to consider telling him the state that she was currently in. If Finley could accept it, then, she could find a stable home for her child.

Even though Thea felt it would be impossible.

Nonetheless, she still decided to do so.

She picked up the phone.

Finley was still as enthusiastic as he was usually. He asked, “Is this Miss Stewart? Hi, Miss Stewart, are you free today? Shall we meet for coffee?”

Then she pursed her lips and made up her mind.

“Okay. I have something to tell you too. Why don’t we meet up somewhere?”

Finley was overjoyed and he immediately set a location. After that, Thea hung up the phone and hailed a taxi.

However, she felt a little nauseous before the taxi arrived. She held onto the trash can on the roadside and retched.

…

Harley noticed how sickly Thea looked. Although he knew that it had nothing to do with him, he still couldn’t help but follow after her.

As soon as he came out from the building, he saw her leaning over the trash can and vomiting all over the place.

Her thin clothes looked as though it was supported by bulging bones. She looked like a walking skeleton.

The trash cans along the road were so dirty and smelly that they could make most passers-by retch. Wouldn’t she feel even more ill breathing in such a disgusting smell?

Seeing her skinny body that was about to fall into the trash can, Harley finally couldn’t help but come forward and grab her arm.

“Are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital.”

His sharp gaze seemed to have penetrated her heart in an instant. Thea flinched subconsciously and took a step back.

“I’m fine, I don’t need your help!”

With that, she stood on the side of the road again, ready to hail a taxi.

Harley looked at her half-exposed neck. He felt a little furious for some reason.

“Where’s your man? Didn’t you say that he didn’t work in that industry anymore? Why isn’t he staying with you when you’re so sick?”
