Some of the nurses couldn’t help but begin discussing among themselves.
“What’s his relationship with that girl? He seems so worried about her.”
“Yeah. It’s the first time I’ve seen Josh this panicked.”
“Isn’t that girl his assistant? A celebrity and his assistant… You guys should get it.”
“I’m feeling dizzy. Stop talking, sisters. I feel heartbroken.”
Josh Batton didn’t hear what the nurses were saying at all. He didn’t care either.
Every second and minute seemed to pass very slowly.
Each minute was torture to Josh.
Approximately ten minutes later, the emergency unit’s door suddenly opened.
A doctor walked out.
When Josh saw the doctor, he immediately stood up and walked up to him. “How did it go? What’s wrong with her?”
“She’s not in a dire situation. She’s only pregnant. The reason she fainted was due to her low blood sugar…
“Many women suffer from hypoglycemia during the early stages of pregnancy. She’ll only have to monitor her blood sugar level. After that, she’ll be fine,” the doctor explained carefully.
Josh was stunned when he heard this…
“How long has she been pregnant?” Josh asked.
“Approximately twenty-five days…” the doctor said.
Josh immediately recalled when he had sex with Annabeth…
After some logical reasoning, Josh arrived at a conclusion.
Immediately after that, he started recalling what happened in the car.
Back then, Josh also suspected that Annabeth might be pregnant when he saw her retching. So that was why he had asked if she was pregnant…
Consequently, Annabeth had denied it without hesitation…
Josh figured that Annabeth probably had found out way earlier that she was pregnant. That was why she didn’t allow him to take her to the hospital. She was afraid that he might find out about this.
Perhaps, Josh thought, Annabeth didn’t tell him about this because she didn’t want to trouble him. She had probably planned to get an abortion on her own.
When Josh thought about these, he suddenly felt deeply touched.
“This silly girl…” Josh murmured to himself softly. There was a helplessness in his tone as well as his eyes.
Josh had never seen a girl more idiotic than Annabeth.
If this had happened to an ordinary girl, she’d not have let Josh get away with it.
