Chapter 54
I had completely forgotten about this matter.
I didnât expect him to still remember.
I wiped the water off my face with a soft towel. âItâs okay, Iâm fine.â
He frowned. âWerenât you feeling unwell last night?â
I couldnât say that the doctor advised against sexual activities during the first three months of pregnancy.
I couldâfind an excuse for it. âIâm fine now.â
He didnât seem to believe me. âReally?â
If I were to go, he would definitely take me to a private hospital owned by the Frost Group, using the VIP
channel.
No waiting in line and the medical reports would come out very quickly.
But that way, I couldnât possibly hide the fact that I was pregnant.
âI donât want to go, I donât like going to hospitals.â I avoided his gaze.
âCharlotte.â Ryan squinted his eyes. âAre you hiding something from me?â
Thud!
His question was too sudden, I got nervous, and the skincare product in my hand fell onto the marble countertop. It made my heart skip a beat.
My guilt was too obvious.
He walked over and straightened my body, and his dark eyes seemed to want to see through everything. Is there really something youâre hiding from me?â
âRyanâ¦â
He hesitated and curved his lips slightly. âAre you⦠sick?â
I couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief. âYes, so letâs hurry up and get divorced. Donât hold each other
back.â
âNo way!â
He suddenly raised his voice, with an imperceptible tremor, grabbed my hand, and pulled me outside.
âRyan, what are you doing?â
âGoing to the hospital.â
He was using so much force that it made my wrist ache.
But I had no time to be angry. âWhat are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Iâll die?â
As soon as I said that, he suddenly turned around. His expression was cold and his teeth were gnashed. If you die, even if youâre buried, I will dig up your ashes and bury them in the Frost familyâs graveyard.â

His fierce appearance startled me, and when I regained my senses, I couldnât help but sneer.
âAre you crazy?â
Why was he acting like he was so affectionate?
If I didnât know better, I would think he had fallen in love with me.
Ryanâs face darkened slightly, but he still didnât let go of my hand. âCome with me to the hospital.â
If I continued to refuse, he might just check my medical records.
It was a loseâlose situation.
âFine, letâs go,â I said reluctantly in a trembling voice.
âAre you nervous?â
âNo.â
âNot nervous, just scared.â
But I had no choice.
On the way to the hospital, I was absentâminded the whole time, thinking about what would happen if he found out I was pregnant.
Could we still divorce after Grandpaâs 80th birthday?
Orâ¦
Would he allow me to have a child, bringing conflict to his and Jessicaâs future life?
Thinking of the latter, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.
Looking at Ryan driving beside me, his profile tense and cold, his mood clearly at its worst.
I became even more uncertain.
It was supposed to be a routine checkâup, but when we arrived at the hospital, the director of the hospital himself greeted us.
âI wonât have a CT scan.â
When deciding on the examinations, I spoke up proactively.
âWhy not?â asked Ryan.
âI just had one during the companyâs checkâup recently Itâs unnecessary to expose myself to more radiation when Iâm perfectly fine.â
After saying this, fearing his suspicion, I was about to add more when Ryan glanced at the director of the hospital.
âIf thereâs something wrong with her body, can other tests detect it?â he asked.
âThe other tests should suffice, Mr. Frost,â the director replied.
âAlright then.â Ryanâs face softened.

Taking advantage of this, I continued, âAnd as for the ultrasound, I had it done last timeâ¦.
In a normal checkâup, only the ultrasound could reveal my pregnancy.
If I could avoid this, there would be nothing to worry about.
Seeing this, Ryan frowned, and his face became serious. âDoes ultrasound also involve radiation?
I remained silent.
While the director went to instruct the doctors to prepare the examination report, I couldnât help but say, Ryan, why are you so concerned about my health? Are you afraid people will say youâre mistreating your wife?â.
