Forbidden Passion

Chapter 616 Phoebe Was Pregnant

It was like someone zapped her brain with a taser. Phoebe was totally floored. She couldn't sit still, so she told her boss she needed to bounce and bolted out of the office. Phoebe snuck into a pharmacy, grabbed a pregnancy test, and rushed home. She locked herself in the bathroom, plopped down on the toilet, and waited.

A minute later, bam, two bright red lines popped up. Phoebe was so shocked she thought she was dreaming.

No way!

This couldn't be real!

Thinking the test was busted, Phoebe grabbed another one and prayed hard, "Just one line, please, just one."

When she opened her eyes, there they were again-two bright red lines.

Phoebe was about to lose it. She stared at the test, then pulled out a whole bunch more. Every single one showed two lines.

A loud thud echoed in the bathroom.

Evelyn had just walked in and rushed over when she heard the noise, but the door was locked. She banged on it and yelled, "Phoebe, you in there? What happened?"

Phoebe looked at the basin she had knocked over. She took a shaky breath and said, "I just knocked over the basin."

Evelyn sighed in relief, "You're an adult, how can you be so clumsy? You scared me. Weren't you at work? Why are you home?"

Phoebe stood there, surrounded by pregnancy tests, each one mocking her. Why didn't she take birth control pills back then?

Phoebe struggled to say, "I think I ate something bad. Felt a bit off, so I took a leave and came back."

"Did you get any meds? If not, you should hit the hospital." Evelyn's voice faded, probably off to find some medicine.
