Dolores looked serious. She walked in and patted Theresa’s back, “Are you alright?”

Theresa shook her head, “I’m fine. Maybe I was just having diarrhoea. Lately…”

Theresa suddenly paused as if she was reminded of something else.

Dolores went through what Theresa was going through now. She knew it when she saw Theresa vomiting, “Let’s go to the hospital and get you checked.”

Theresa’s hands trembled. She didn’t know what to say.

Dolores hugged Theresa and stroked her back, then comforted her silently.

“Dolores, can you do me a favour?” Theresa asked in a coarse voice.

Dolores replied, “Sure. What is it?”

“…If, I’m saying if, I’m pregnant. Please don’t tell Armand.”

Theresa didn’t want to get together with someone because of some external factors. She knew what she wanted exactly.

Dolores understood Theresa. She nodded her head, “I won’t tell him, but if you are… You’ll need to think more about your future.”

It will need careful considerations of the baby’s growing environment. After all, a functional family was important for the child, in terms of his growth in every aspect.

Dolores drove Theresa to the hospital.

The check-up was fast because they went at night and they went into the emergency ward. Theresa did an ultrasound and urinalysis. The ultrasound detected an embryo growing in Theresa’s womb. It was about seven weeks old. Theresa’s urinalysis result also shown positive. It meant she was pregnant for sure.

Theresa sat beside the flower bed outside of the hospital. She stared at the lab test report and remained silent.

Dolores didn’t know what to say to comfort Theresa. If Theresa and Armand were happy together, the child will be a gift for them.

But now, it was obvious that Theresa and Armand were having problems in their relationship.

“I don’t want the baby,” Theresa has been quiet since she completed the check-ups.
