The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 718

Karen pushed herself up from the chair, her legs trembling beneath her like overcooked spaghetti.

She thought, this must be what a convict feels like, walking to their own execution.

She carefully nudged the door open to find the same doctor inside.

"Karen, right?"

"Uh-huh." She nodded rapidly, a bashful schoolgirl in that instant.

The doctor glanced at the computer screen, pulling up Karen's test results and scrutinizing them for what felt to Karen like an eternity, though it was really only seconds.

Then the doctor spoke, "You might be pregnant."

Karen froze in place.

"At the moment, it's quite early. Your HCG levels aren't high, but they're increasing." The doctor looked up at her. "Go home, talk it over with your partner, and then decide what you'll do next."

Karen was too shocked to speak.

"Karen?" Noticing her silence, the doctor called out her name again.

Snapped out of her trance, Karen hurriedly responded, "Sorry, just spaced out for a second there. Did you say I'm pregnant?"

"Yes, according to your blood test, you are. The ultrasound doesn't show much yet, which means it's early days. Take some time to think it over."

"Okay, I got it."

As Karen stood up, she was so nervous that she banged her shin against the edge of the table.

A sharp pain made her wince.

"Are you alright?" The doctor stood up, concerned.

Karen waved it off, "I'm fine! Thanks, doc."

She quickly left the examination room, only to find herself rooted to the spot outside, legs like jelly.

What kind of soap opera was this?

Broken up and now pregnant? It was just too melodramatic!
