My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 523:

Carrie hesitated. The hospital hadn’t contacted her about her test results yet, and she hadn’t experienced any morning sickness lately. A nagging doubt crept into her mind: perhaps it was just a passing stomach bug. If she were to suddenly announce her pregnancy and it turned out to be a false alarm, it would make her and the entire Norris family the laughingstock of the social scene.

After a moment, Carrie forced a soft smile. “I’ve been taking it easy lately, maybe that’s why I’ve gained a bit of weight.”

Mrs. Quinn, her eyes narrowed with skepticism, interjected, “My family’s doctor is renowned as a top fertility expert. Several of my relatives conceived after following his treatments. You really should go to the hospital for another check-up. This is your first pregnancy, and without experience, you might be blissfully unaware.”

Carrie nodded obediently. “I had a check-up a few days ago. I should have the results in a couple of days.”

Go back to your chores!” Billie snapped at the maid, her irritation evident. She then gestured for Carrie to take the maid’s seat.
