"Watch your step, Susie," Madam Shaw reminded Susan as she opened the door for her.
"Thank you, Mom," Susan replied with a warm grin.
Just when they were going into the car, a flustered voice rang out behind them.
"Susie, wait!"
Susan looked back and saw Luke rushing over to her, his face was lined with worry.
She was shocked and then she asked, "Wh-What's wrong?"
Luke did not reply instantly. He looked at her as a storm of emotion clouded his face. It took him quite a long while to finally find his voice and he asked, "Are you pregnant, Susie?" i
"Yeah," Susan replied openly. After all, she did not feel the need to keep her pregnancy a secret. "It has been two months. How about Mandy? How long has she been pregnant?"
"Same as you. Almost two months as well," Luke replied simply.
Susan had no idea why but she had a hunch that Luke did not want to talk about Mandy's pregnancy. As such, she did not continue the conversation and just smiled at him, "Well, Mr. Jenkins, if there's nothing else, I guess I have to..." "Susie,” Luke interrupted, a pang of sadness erupted from the depth of his eyes.
'Does Susan really hate talking to him so much?’
However, when he saw Madam Shaw who was standing beside Susan with an indifferent expression, he knew Susan was refraining herself. He took a deep breath and said, "I just... I just want to congratulate you on your pregnancy."
"Thank you," Susan responded with a smile.
Luke was stunned by the smile on her face.
He knew Susan had always been a kind person, but ever since she got pregnant, she had a motherly air about her. She grew even more gentle and he was having a hard time commanding himself to peel his eyes away from her.
If it were not for the accident, he and Susan might have married already. Perhaps they would even have their own child.
However, life would not go as planned. It would certainly throw you a curveball at some point in your life and shatter all your plans.
Two years ago, they loved each other as if they were lovebirds. They firmly believed that they were the ones for each other, and the thought of marrying someone else had never once crossed their minds.
Shaking his head, Luke forced the thought out of his brain. The pain was too unbearable. It was as if somebody was stabbing his heart with a knife and he did not want to experience it anymore.
He stood frozen stiff, staring at the car that Susan and Madam Shaw had gotten into as it gradually got further and further away.
After a long while, a sweet voice rang out behind him," What are you looking at, Luke?"
Mandy walked up to him. Spontaneously, she slipped her bare hand into his. Luke wanted to shake her hand off, but he remained steadfast. He pushed the urge away and held her hand still.
"Nothing," he replied flatly.
“Let’s go home. Dr. Moore said everything is fine," Mandy said, offering him a beam.
"That's good, then," Luke replied, though he was still looking in the direction where the car had driven away.
Seeing his reaction, Mandy clenched her hand that was holding Luke's lightly.
'You’ve gotten Julian already, yet you still refuse to let Luke go. You’re such a greedy monster, so don’t blame me for doing this to you, Susan,’ Mandy thought inwardly as a dark glint crossed her eyes. 1
In the hospital testing room.
"This is an urgent request, so work on it first,” the doctor placed the blood sample on the machine, "You stay here and keep track of the data." "Okay, doctor," the assistant doctor hastily replied.
The doctor nodded and then left.
The assistant doctor looked at the sample and a strange light flitted across his eyes. He quickly took another sample out of his pocket and then swapped with the blood sample on top of the machine.
