LADESSA.

After I told Kael that I might be pregnant, I started to relax.

In fact, I began to feel excited.

I didn't expect his reaction, which made everything perfect. Earlier, he told me he loved me, and his reaction to the pregnancy news supported that claim.

Despite the fact that he couldn't remember me, it was enough that he wanted me in his life, and he wanted to have a baby with me.

We bought the pregnancy test kit and stopped by a fast-food restaurant.

Kael ordered our food while I went to the restroom. He wanted to see the results with me, but he was taking too long to get here, and the results were ready. The line at the counter might be long, so I had to check this on my own.

My hand trembled as I raised the test stick in my hand.

One line.

I was wrong. I wasn't pregnant.

I took a deep breath just in time for a knock to come. I lowered my hand and opened the door.

Our gazes met, and I could still see the excitement in his eyes. I didn't want to prolong the suspense for him.
