Thud!
The chopsticks in Yvonne's hand slipped to the ground, and her whole body froze. It took a while before she finally replied, "Pregnant?"
"Yes, Yvonne, you didn't have your period last month and you're often sleepy. If you aren't pregnant, what is it?" Sue was excited.
Yvonne touched her own abdomen dumbfoundedly," I... I'm really pregnant?"
"What else could it be? You're definitely pregnant," Sue beamed. "Ah, we need to share this great news. W e have to tell Master and Mr. Lancaster quickly. They will be delighted to know the news."
With that, she grabbed the landline phone, ready to make a call.
Yvonne quickly stopped her, "Sue, wait."
"What’s wrong, Yvonne?" Aunt Song looked at her puzzledly. 1
Yvonne opened her mouth, "It's better not to call and tell them yet."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want them to be disappointed. What i f I'm not pregnant? So let's wait until we're sure before we inform them," Yvonne said sensibly.
When Sue told her that she might be pregnant, she was so overjoyed that she was almost on the verge of tears.
But after that euphoria, she calmed down.
They couldn't be certain she was pregnant just by these speculations. She had to get a proper checkup report. If it turned out that she just had an upset stomach and wasn't really pregnant, wouldn't it be quite a farce?
After Sue heard what Yvonne said, her excitement waned. Her impulse to tell the old man the good news was also suddenly extinguished.
"Yvonne, you have a point. Why don't I contact Dr. Summers and he can diagnose it for you?" Sue suggested.
Yvonne shook her head, "Henry doesn't want me to get close to him."
"But why?" Sue was stunned.
Yvonne shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, so don't contact Dr. Summers, I'll find another doctor for the checkup. If I'm really pregnant, I can also surprise them."
"That's right, Yvonne. It's time to give them a surprise. " Sue agreed wholeheartedly.
Yvonne took her hands off her abdomen and started t o bend down to get her chopsticks.
When Sue saw this, she quickly stopped her, "Yvonne, don't move, I'll do it."
Sue bent down to pick up the chopsticks, and as she did this she also advised Yvonne, "In the future, don't bend over like this, lest you hurt the child in your womb."
Yvonne didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sue, you're exaggerating. I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant."
"That won't do. What if you're really pregnant?" Sue helped her get a new pair of chopsticks.
Yvonne took them, "Thank you, Sue."
"It's my duty." Sue chuckled cheerfully, then she asked, "By the way, when are you planning to go for the checkup, Yvonne?"
"Within these two days." Yvonne continued eating the rice in the bowl.
Sue was a little dissatisfied, "It's better if you go for a checkup earlier. How about today?"
"Probably not today, I have an appointment today." Yvonne smiled apologetically.
Sue became nervous, "Who are you meeting? Will you b e drinking?"
"I'm meeting my best friend. She got a promotion and she's inviting me to dinner. As for drinking.."
Yvonne thought about it and shook her head, "I won't drink."
"Good." Sue was relieved, "This is a crucial period. Yvonne, you must not drink alcohol. You must also avoid some foods as you might have a miscarriage if you eat them."
Yvonne's heart skipped a beat when she heard that,' Sue, what sort of food would cause such a serious outcome?"
She would have to pay special attention, even if she wasn't certain she was pregnant yet.
But what if she was?
"A lot." Sue answered, "Let me tell you about some common food that pregnant women shouldn't eat, for example, seafood.."
Yvonne spent the whole afternoon listening to Sue sharing her knowledge about pregnant women.
Yvonne listened very attentively, and she even took down some important notes on her phone.
