Chapter 454:

After a long bout of retching, Elyse finally felt a bit better. She emerged from the bathroom, too shaken to face Jayden, and asked Driscoll to send Forrest home before she hurried upstairs to sleep.

Jayden, having finished his work, had hoped to spend some quality time with her, but found her already sleeping peacefully. He quietly lay down beside her.

In the early morning light, Elyse woke up feeling dizzy and slightly feverish. Remembering the five pregnancy tests, she felt a surge of frustration. It seemed she was in the early stages of pregnancy.

With mixed feelings, she looked at Jayden, who was still sleeping soundly, and tenderly touched his face. “If only you didn’t dislike kids so much, I wouldn’t be so scared to tell you directly.”

Although she felt a bit sleepy, she had an appointment at the hospital in the morning and a violin practice session at the studio later that day. Pushing herself up with sheer willpower, she declined the driver’s offer and took a taxi to the hospital for her scheduled examination.

Half an hour later, she received the results.

The obstetrician smiled as she handed back the examination report. “Congratulations, you’ve been pregnant for two months.”

Elyse froze, unsure of her next steps.
