"Yes, we got the right sperm. But how did you know about that?" Sydney tossed her hair as she asked.
Finn kept swirling the scalpel in his hand and answered, "Hunter told me about it. He called me last night and asked me to be ready to preserve the sperm."
"So that's it." Sydney laughed softly, "He told you about it before I did." She was amused.
Finn put the scalpel down, pushed the gold-rimmed glasses upward, and said, "That guy sounded so proud when he told me about it. I don't think he has to feel so good about himself!"
Sydney bursts out laughing.
Finn put his hand down, "Okay. Forget about him. I'm calling to make sure whether you've really found the right sperm. If that's true, I'll have the freezing equipment ready to go."
"Yes. Thank you." Sydney said.
Finn responded, "That's okay. It's just a piece of cake for me. Just let me know in advance."
"Of course! You're the director of the hospital." Sydney teased.
Finn gave a faint smile, "By the way, there's something else I want to tell you."
"What is it?" Sydney took a bite of her porridge.
Finn looked at the pregnancy test report on the desk and answered, "Your secretary came to the hospital yesterday for a checkup."
Sydney froze, "You mean Sean?"
"The patient's name is Sean," Finn confirmed as he looked at the name on the chart.
Sydney instantly tensed up, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with her? Is she sick?"
"No." Finn shook his head slightly, "She went to the OB/GYN for a checkup. Do you understand?"
'OB/GYN?'
Sydney was surprised.
When Sydney was first pregnant, she went to the OB/GYN.
'That means...'
Sydney's mouth dropped open in shock. "Is she pregnant?"
"That's right." Finn nodded, "It has been two months."
"How... How is that possible!" Sydney's voice pitched in shock.
'Sean's pregnant? And it's been two months?'
Immediately, Sydney remembered Sean's heaving symptoms in her office a few days ago.
Sydney was worried that Sean was sick then. She had suggested that Sean go to the infirmary to see a doctor, but Sean refused in panic and said she just had a bad meal. Sydney hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. But now that she thought about it, she guessed that Sean knew she was pregnant then, so she refused to see a doctor. She didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant.
'But why did she want to keep it a secret?
'Maybe she didn't want the father of the baby know about it.
'Otherwise, Sean doesn't have to hide it. She's an adult, and it's a normal thing to be pregnant.
'However, Sean kept it a secret. She doesn't have a boyfriend, and she's not married, but she's pregnant. Then it must be because of the father of the baby...
'Who is the father of the baby...'
Sydney bit her lower lip and had an idea in her mind.
Thinking about the subtle atmosphere between Sean and Luke, Luke's recently developed bad attitude towards Sean, and the strange way Sean acted when Sydney mentioned Luke, Sydney guessed that Luke was the father.
