True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1964

Meanwhile, downstairs, the guys talked about various topics. Time passed by quickly and the ladies were yet to return to them.

Remembering that he and Leah needed to do a check- up at the hospital the next morning to confirm whether she was pregnant or not, Ernest was running out of patience.

He frowned and looked down at his watch. It was already 2.30 a.m., yet the ladies were clearly not done with their gathering.

Gary noticed that Ernest had been looking at his watch impatiently several times, and he subtly gave Liam a look.

Liam was smart enough to catch Gary's intention as he gazed at him.

He smiled at Ernest. "What's the matter, Ernest? Do you have plans for tomorrow?"

Ernest was startled. He looked at Liam and smiled. "Yes, indeed. I'm bringing Leah to the hospital tomorrow early morning for a check-up." "Oh? What's wrong with Leah?" Liam was also surprised.

Ernest shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to confirm something."

Upon hearing that, Gary raised his eyebrows slightly. "Are you checking if she's pregnant?"

Gary was always so sharp and straightforward with his questions. Under normal circumstances, he would just voice out what was on his mind.

Ernest shrugged. "She's just doing a routine checkup."

He didn't want to bring up the pregnancy yet, as he wasn't in the right place to do so. Leah was a girl after all.

He had to shield Leah from all the gossips and speculations others might make about them, as it was his responsibility as a man to protect the woman he loved.

"Go upstairs and end their gathering then. It's too late anyway. We should be sleeping." Gary yawned. "Or else we really won't be able to get up the next morning."

Ernest glanced at him and then at Liam. All of them were clearly agreeing on that suggestion.

Forget it. He had to be the bad guy then.

Ernest knew that was what Gary was planning.

However, he was not in a hurry either. He just looked up at the stairs instead of going upstairs.

The ladies seemed to have gotten much closer after the heart-to-heart conversation that night.

As they chatted, Leah suddenly felt a little pain in her stomach. She covered her stomach with her hand.

"Alas! Why does it hurt so much?" Leah mumbled. "Please excuse me. I have to use the washroom."

She got out of bed and could feel something running down between her legs. She felt unwell in the belly.

It was a familiar feeling. That was the sign of menstruation, and it just came so suddenly.

"Are you all right?" Seeing that Leah was in pain, Celeste asked with concern.

"It's fine." Leah bent over and mumbled, "I think it's my period. I'll go back to my room first. You both can continue."

"Let's get you to the hospital if you don't feel well." Maria was shocked to see Leah suddenly bending over. She stood up and got hold of Leah.

"It's okay. I'm sure that it's just my period." Leah waved her hand with a smile, even though there was a pain expression on her face. "Don't worry."

"I'll take you back to your room then." Maria helped her.

"There's no need for that." Leah waved her hand again and pushed Maria back to Celeste's side before walking out on her own.

She headed back to the guest room she shared with Ernest and went straight to the washroom and checked herself.

It was indeed her period.

Leah immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed like she wasn't pregnant.

Amidst her relief, she suddenly felt a little melancholy too.

It was a good thing that she was not expecting, as it wasn't the right timing for them and it would be troublesome for them.

However, she inexplicably felt a little disappointed.

She then changed her clothes and put on a sanitary pad that she took out from her luggage. Fortunately, she had packed a pack of them before the trip, otherwise, she would be embarrasses she she would have to go downhill to get it in the middle of the night.

After getting everything done, Leah then returned to the other room and continued the conversation with Maria and Celeste.
