My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1959

When Adrienne woke up, she found herself at the village clinic.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was several overwrought gazes. Among them was Phoebe, who had always taken good care of her.

"Phoebe..." She moved and wanted to sit up, but Phoebe reached out and pressed her down. "Miss Carter, you should lie down and rest for a little while longer."

Adrienne did think that her body felt a little heavy, but she didn't feel like she needed to be lying down. "I'm fine, don't worry."

Her face covered in concern, Phoebe took Adrienne's hand and said, "Miss Carter, you're still so young, but you came into this rural area all by yourself. I'm sure that your family is worried about you."

At the mention of her family, Adrienne immediately thought of Sheridan. She also recalled her mother, Eudora, who had died a miserable death. At that instant, her already pale face grew even more disconsolate. "Everyone in my family is gone."

Phoebe felt bad for bringing up such a sensitive topic for Adrienne. She apologized, "Miss Carter, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your past."

"It's all right. It's all in the past now." Adrienne shook her head and saw that Phoebe wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. She asked, "Do you have something else to say to me?"

Phoebe hesitated for a long time before she answered slowly, "Miss Carter, you're pregnant."

"W- what? I- I'm pregnant?" Adrienne was in disbelief at first. But after thinking about it for a while, she realized she had indeed been showing signs of pregnancy.

When her period was delayed, she simply assumed that it was caused by stress, so she hadn't paid any attention to it.

She instinctively touched her lower abdomen. There was a tiny life growing inside of her at that moment.

This tiny life was the child of her and Jefferson...

What was Jefferson doing at that moment?

Was he thinking about her, too? She wondered.

Discreetly, she had left Chatterton Town, and he hadn't been able to find her. He was probably so furious that he might not even want to talk to her anymore.

Phoebe added, "But Miss Carter, worry not. As long as you are willing to stay with us, we will help you take care of the child. We won't look at him any differently just because the child doesn't have a father."

"Phoebe, that's not..." Upon hearing this, Adrienne understood that Phoebe had been trying to ask about the child's father earlier.

And her reply had made Phoebe misunderstand that the child was fatherless.

If Jefferson knew that she'd caused such a misunderstanding, he would definitely throw a tantrum at her.

Thinking of the man who was so supercilious that he thought he was king of the world, Adrienne couldn't help but reveal a smile on her face. "Phoebe, you've misunderstood. The child's father is fine, but he has no idea that I'm pregnant."

Phoebe was both surprised and happy to hear that. She felt guilty for her earlier words so she apologized, "Miss Carter, I'm so sorry that I misspoke before understanding the situation."

"It's okay." Adrienne smiled.

At that time, her mind was full of Jefferson's dramatic expressions. If he knew that she was pregnant, he would probably shout over the rooftops and tell the whole world that he was going to be a father.

An adult man he might be, but he often acted immaturely, like a child who would never grow up.

However, there was no way of letting him know she was pregnant at that moment.

She hadn't brought her phone with her nor did she buy a new one here. Hence, she was completely cut off from the world.

She intended to stay there for a longer time, but she would have given birth by that time. She wondered how Jefferson would react if she were to bring a baby home then.
