Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 527

Chapter 527 Pregnant

They were in a pharmacy, and there were people around. Asking him that question here was inappropriate, but she couldn't take it back.

"What? You can't let go of me?" Jethro stopped in his tracks and turned around, a devilish smile hanging from his lips. He was speaking in a lighter tone compared to earlier.

Elspeth saw a hint of the old him in his eyes. Before this, he was stubborn and obsessive, but now he looked just like the old Jethro, the one who was innocent and clingy, and the one she knew. He used to be exasperating, but not disgusting, unlike his new self. "No."

Even though he knew this was her answer, it still struck a nerve. "Then why did you stop me?"

"Why are you conspiring with him?"

Noticing the stares of other customers, Jethro lowered his voice. "Conspiring with whom? That's a lie."

"Drop the act." How disappointing. He doesn't even have the guts to admit to it.

"What act?" Jethro approached her and backed her into a corner. "What do you think I did?"

"Sabotaging Callum."

The smile was wiped off Jethro's face. "What? You're worried about him now? Scared I might do something to him?" Jethro hissed.

A frown furrowed Elspeth's brow. "I'm not afraid. I just don't want you to get controlled by Arthur. You might end up doing something you regret."

"So, you're worried about me. You do like me."

God, he's so narcissistic, and he's honestly cuckoo. Elspeth refused to talk to him any further. "You've made your purchase, haven't you?" So, leave.

Jethro cocked his eyebrow and held his bag of medicine up. "Fine, I'll be going now."

Elspeth nodded and saw him off. Once he was gone, she heaved a sigh of relief and came to the doctor. "Get me a pregnancy test kit."

A hint of unease flashed in the doctor's eyes, and Elspeth caught it. "What is it?"

"Nothing." The doctor gulped and took a test kit off the shelves. He handed it to her and explained how to use it.

Elspeth narrowed her eyes. "You know who I am, don't you?"

Beads of sweat poured from the doctor's forehead. "No. I don't know who you are."

"Do not tell anyone about this purchase, you hear?"

Elspeth was worried. If the word got out that she was pregnant, Arthur would use it against her. It was a disaster waiting to happen. She didn't care if the doctor was telling the truth or not. It was safer to just threaten him first.

The doctor nodded, then shook his head. "We keep our patients' information confidential, but I have no idea who you are. Don't worry."

Elspeth was wearing a mask. He won't lie to me. She took the test kit and left.

Once she was gone, the doctor took out a phone with trembling hands. He said, "You must've heard that, sir."

…

Elspeth tested herself, and two lines showed up. Her heart sank. I'm pregnant. I'm not even ready to be a mother yet, and I'm already pregnant. She was shocked. She wanted to call Callum, but he was already home and walking into the living room quickly. Her heart thumped fast for some reason.

"Callum, I…" She wanted to tell him she was pregnant, and yet she couldn't say it.

Callum looked upset. Noticing his bad mood, she kept her pregnancy a secret. She asked softly, "What happened?"

"Just company matters." Callum massaged his forehead. He seemed to be under a lot of stress. "Nothing much, so don't worry."

But I should. Elspeth knew Callum was a calm and collected man. The problem must be bad enough for him to be so frustrated. Hence, she pressed, "What happened? Tell me. I might be able to help."
