Chapter 21

"Alright."

...

The hospital's emergency room was packed.

With flu cases surging in winter, people even had to wait ages just to see a doctor.

After a moment's hesitation, Briony decided to call Stella.

Ten minutes later, Stella arrived, breathless from hurrying.

Briony didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant, so she used the excuse of the crowded hospital and the risk of infection to send Hannah back to the car to wait.

Hannah, seeing that Briony had a friend with her, didn't think much of it and obediently returned to the car.

Stella took Briony to see her colleague, Dr. Cedric Clarke.

Dr. Clarke was a talented young doctor and got along well with Stella.

After learning Briony was pregnant, Dr. Clarke prescribed her some pregnancy- safe medicine and reminded her to rest at home for the next few days and avoid going out in the cold.
