Love From My Dominant Boss Chapter 537

Chapter 537 Pregnant

Alicia and I waited outside the examination room. Both of us were exceedingly nervous, but I was much calmer than her in comparison. Janette had already gone into the Doppler ultrasound room for ten minutes, yet she still hadn’t come out. I started growing worried.

“Why is she still in there after such a long time? Does a pregnancy test take so long nowadays?” Alicia inquired with her eyes fixated on me and anxiety etched across her features.

“Let’s wait patiently for a little longer. Perhaps the doctor is more meticulous in conducting the test. Since she has gone for the test, the results will be out soon.”

While I was likewise very much anxious, I still assured her, for I knew that she was far more worried than me. Having heard that, she nodded in acquiescence. Nonetheless, her brows remained creased, and she appeared really apprehensive.

About ten minutes later, the door to the Doppler ultrasound room finally swung open. Janette held a medical report in her hand, her face pale as a sheet right then.

Looking at her expression, I could already guess the test results. Although I had long since suspected the truth, my heart inevitably sank.

“What’s the verdict, Janette?”

Alicia hurried over and regarded Janette anxiously, her voice trembling when she voiced that question.

Janette’s face was drained of all color, and she remained silent. I took the medical report from her hand and flipped it open, sighing helplessly upon glimpsing the word “pregnant” on it.

I handed it to Alicia, and she similarly blanched after taking a look at it.

“Let’s go back first. We need to discuss this matter slowly,” I couldn’t help suggesting when the two of them stayed frozen to the spot.

There were many people there, and they all cast their gazes at us when they noticed our reactions.

When we were about to leave the hospital after going downstairs, we bumped into Ronan.

I initially wanted to pretend that I didn’t see him, but he caught sight of me with his keen eyes.

“Anna!” he called out to me.

Then, he headed toward me with huge strides.

The moment his voice rang out, a glimmer of light entered Janette’s eyes that had previously dimmed. As soon as she spotted Ronan, she hastily shoved the medical report into her bag, seemingly terrified that he would see it.

Seeing that, I sighed helplessly. I could tell that she had really fallen for him, but I knew that her feelings would never be reciprocated.

“I noticed that you’re coming to the hospital increasingly often recently. The hospital is operating smoothly, and you don’t have much to do here, so why don’t you use this time to get yourself a girlfriend?” I teased with a smile when Ronan reached me.

“I’m not in the mood to look for a girlfriend now. The woman I like doesn’t like me, and I don’t even want to spare those women who like me a single glance. I even feel that it’s a waste of my time to go on a date with them.”

At my jest, Ronan stared at me aggrievedly as he answered.

Clocking the gloomy expression on his face, I felt as though I had shot myself in the foot. Gah! I knew full well that he still has feelings for me, yet I suggested that he date other women. Oh well, I can’t fault for him being resentful.

“You’re not young anymore, so you should find a girlfriend obediently. Even if you’re in no rush, your family is probably frantic.”

I changed the subject, deliberately ignoring the look in his eyes.

Honestly, I really wished that he would meet a girl he liked. Then, I would no longer feel guilty.

“Matters of the heart should be left to destiny. If I don’t meet the person I like, I’d rather remain single for the rest of my life. That’s far better than getting together with a woman I have no feelings for.”

Ronan shrugged, not taking my suggestion to heart at all.

Such an attitude of his had me feeling all the more upset.

He fell in love with me two years ago and hadn’t yet forgotten me to this very day. Therefore, I was really worried that he would stay a bachelor forever.

While I was chatting with him, Janette trained her gaze on me. A trace of envy crept into her eyes when she saw that I was talking to him happily.

From the very first time she saw Ronan, I noticed that she was enamored of him. As such, I wasn’t bothered by her envious gaze.

“Oh yes, why are you visiting the hospital today? Are you not feeling well? Or is your mother not feeling well?”

Something seemed to occur to Ronan, and he studied me in concern, looking me up and down.

“No. We accompanied Janette here today for a medical test. She—”

I had just started answering his question when Janette cut me off unceremoniously.

“I don’t feel so well, so they accompanied me here for a checkup. It’s no big deal.”

While saying that, Janette’s gaze darted around, and she sounded rather guilty.

My brows furrowed slightly. Despite hating being interrupted by her, I knew that she definitely didn’t want Ronan to know about the incident that befell her.

She had feelings for him, so I could understand that she didn’t want him to know about the black mark against her.

“I see. I’m glad you’re fine.”

Ronan swept his gaze over Janette after hearing that. A complicated light flashed across his eyes, but he promptly concealed his emotions.

Surprisingly, I could vaguely sense his gaze stilling on her abdomen.

Hmm? Has he noticed that she’s pregnant? But on second thought, he has no idea about the incident, so how could he possibly tell?

“Please excuse us if there’s nothing else. We’ve still got something to do.”

Alicia’s entire mind was chock-filled with Janette’s pregnancy, and her worried expression made it so that I lost interest in chatting further.

“Sure. We’ll talk next time.”

Ronan didn’t say anything further, merely curving his lips into an alluring arc. Then, he stepped aside and made way for us.

When we got back to Alicia’s house, the three of us plopped down onto the couch. Janette’s face was pale, and she hung her head without a single word.

“Janette, you received the test results today, confirming that you’re indeed with child. However, this child definitely can’t remain. Hence, we’ve got to make a visit to the hospital and abort the child as soon as possible.”

After a long moment of silence, Alicia gave voice to her thoughts. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

In truth, I shared the same sentiments. Although the baby in Janette’s stomach was innocent, its existence would be a stain on her life.

Even if she were to keep the child, she would still have to endure gossip for the rest of her days since she didn’t know who the child’s father was. Thus, aborting the child was the best solution.

“I know. I won’t keep this baby, for it’s a stain and shame in my life!”

Janette’s face was colorless, and I could sense her sheer repulsion and hatred toward the child in her stomach as she uttered those words.
