AIDEN

My gaze roved her frame. There was no blood on her hands or on any part of her body. Though her head was down, her shoulders didn't shake from sobbing. I heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the universe that she was physically fine as my gaze swept the room. I didn't know what I had expected but I was relieved that there was no physical danger looming around... or was there?

"Sharon?" I called as I further walked into the room. "Are you okay?" I dropped on the bed beside her.

She finally raised her head up from the paper in her hands. I couldn't decipher the expression on her face as she wordlessly handed it to me.

"What's this?" I asked, my brows arched, my gaze was on face as I took the paper from her.

"I hadn't been feeling well at work. I went to the hospital, ran a test and that's the result," she said succintly, without emotion.

My eyes scanned her face, "Are you okay?"

She nodded. But I couldn't help but wonder if she had caught a disease of some sort. God, please, she should not be diagnosed of an illness.

I blinked, surprised. "You're pregnant," I said, then my eyes went over the content in the paper to be sure that I hadn't gotten the message wrong. "What? You're not happy?"

I quickly looked up, a gentle frown on my face. "Why will you say that, Sharon?"

She shrugged and looked away from me.

I plastered a smile on my facea ND put my arm around her shoulder, pulling her to me. "You're carrying my child," she looked up at me as my eyes briefly fell on her stomach, "Of course, I'm happy."

And for what felt like years, Sharon's face broke into a big grin. Then she pouted, a slight glare on her brows. "Are you sure? I mean with "
