Jasmine was stunned. She hadnât expected it at all.
Jasmine started to take Elaineâs suggestion for granted, but at the same time, she felt it was impossible. Jasmine went to see a doctor, but the doctor did not ask her anything about the pregnancy.
In addition, she took medication for nausea.
Jasmine panicked a little when she thought about the medicine she was taking.
What if she was really pregnant?
Jasmine lost her appetite even more.
Elaine helped Jasmine finish her meal. She insisted on not wasting the food.
Jasmine still felt queasy after the meal. They left the restaurant and Elaine returned to the school lodge. Jasmine pulled over to the side of the road and caught a cab.
Jasmine didnât notice when the cab pulled up in front of her apartment door. The driver reminded Jasmine, âHello, miss, weâve arrived.â
Jasmine then recovered from the overwhelming feeling. She paid for the cab and got out of the car.
Jasmine entered the lobby and reached the level of her unit. She noticed that the door was unlocked as she was about to take out the key to open it. Jasmine remembered that she had locked the door before she left.Why was it unlocked?
galnovels .com hosts great stories Jasmine opened the door and saw Boyceâs luggage in the doorway. Her first reaction was to confirm if Boyce had returned.
Jasmine quickly entered the house. She saw that Boyce was talking to someone on the phone on the balcony. Boyce replied to the person on the phone, âSure, Iâll be on time tomorrow.â
The person on the other end of the phone said something again. Boyce agreed to it. Then, he hung up the phone and placed it on the side table. Next, Boyce hung the last piece of clothing on the clothesline. It was the clothes Boyce wore when he was at the outer station. Boyce didnât wash them until he got home. So he hung the clothes on the clothesline after washing them in the washing machine.
âYouâre back already,â Jasmine asked him from behind in a hoarse voice.
Boyce turned around and saw Jasmine standing behind him with a pair of red eyes. He walked up to her and asked, âWhatâs wrong?â
Jasmine hugged him, âYou didnât tell me you were coming back.â
Boyce suddenly came back. It wasnât the initial date Boyce said he was coming back, and he didnât inform Jasmine that he was coming back early.
âMy work is done there. So Iâm back early,â Boyce said.
âDo you still have to go?â Jasmine rested her cheek on Boyceâs chest.
âNo,â Boyce stroked Jasmineâs back and asked, âWhatâs wrong? You didnât look happy.â
âNo, I am happy. Itâs the practices. Iâm feeling a little frazzled at work,â Jasmine couldnât bring herself to tell Boyce that she might be pregnant. She hadnât been to the hospital for a checkup. She wasnât sure she was pregnant.
Jasmine planned to ask permission tomorrow to go to the hospital to avoid any misunderstandings.
âItâll get better,â Boyce comforted Jasmine, but she didnât empathize.
Jasmine blurted out to Boyce, âI feel tired. Iâm going to bed.â
âHave you eaten? Letâs get something to eat.â
âIâve already had dinner,â Jasmine put down her purse and walked into the room.
Boyce had a strange feeling that something wasnât right with Jasmine, but Jasmine told him it was because of the internship they had just started. So he didnât dig into it.
Boyce poured himself a glass of water and came into the room after a while. Jasmine was already lying on the bed. Boyce sat down next to the bed and put the glass of water on the side table. He said to Jasmine, âQuit work if you feel exhausted. Iâll take care of you.â
Jasmine turned around and looked at Boyce. Boyce stroked her face and said, âYou donât look well.â
âYouâve told me that only the successful can help more people. I will not give up. Iâm not fed up with my work. Iâm justâ¦not in the mood.â
Jasmine took Boyceâs hand, âWell, youâve grown up. You could read the emotions on my face.â Boyce was speechless.
Was that a compliment?
âSo, whatâs bothering you?â asked Boyce.
âStop asking. Iâm tired. I really need to go back to bed,â Jasmine let go of Boyceâs hand and climbed into bed. She even hid her face in the blanket, âDonât talk to me anymore. I need to sleep.â
Boyce nodded. He let Jasmine go back to bed this time.
Jasmine said she was tired, but she couldnât quite sleep. She was still awake when Boyce went to bed.
Jasmine only fell asleep late in the night.
Jasmine got up early in the morning to make Boyce breakfast, but she didnât eat anything. She told Boyce that she had to hurry to work and left the house quickly.
In fact, Jasmine did not go to work. Instead, she asked for emergency leave and went to the hospital.
It had already been two hours since check-in and the queue. Jasmine went into the office and told the doctor about her symptoms.
The doctor wrote down what Jasmine said and then asked her, âDo you have a boyfriend?â.
Jasmine replied, âI am married.â
The doctor raised his head and took a look at Jasmine. He said to Jasmine, âYou should go get an ultrasound.â Jasmine nodded.
Jasmine received the ultrasound result around noon.
The result showed that she was in the first stage of pregnancy with a baby.
Jasmine was happy and worried at the same time. She handed the result to the doctor and asked, âI have taken some medicine, will it affect my baby?â
The doctor asked, âWhat did you take?â.
Jasmine was well prepared. She showed the doctor the medications she had taken yesterday. One of the anti-inflammatory drugs was not good for the baby.
The doctor asked again, âHow long did you take them?â
âJust one day,â Jasmine replied.
âItâs not a long time, but this medicine is forbidden for pregnant mothers.â
âSo, I canât keep the baby?â Jasmine was dejected and upset.
She felt foolish.
Jasmine hadnât expected this to happen. After all, Boyce and Jasmine had only slept together twice, and now she was pregnant. It had to be from the first time they slept together. However, Jasmine didnât expect the baby to come so soon.
âItâs not necessary. If you have decided to keep the baby, make sure you go for regular check-ups to prevent it from deforming. You can decide not to keep the baby if it shows any signs of deformity by then. But, of course, you can also decide not to keep the baby now if you are afraid of the risk.â Jasmine understood what the doctor meant, but she couldnât decide for herself.
She had to let Boyce know.
Jasmine called Boyce when she left the hospital.
