Luna paused, then let out a sigh and glanced at the doctor. "I’m not sure yet. It's just a suspicion."
"Are you planning to abort the fetus if you're pregnant?"
Luna shook her head. "I want to...give birth to it without him knowing."
The doctor nodded, then scribbled something else on her notes, her brows furrowed. "So I take it that you want to do a blood test and test your hormone levels? I f you don't want him to find out, I suggest we do some other checkups just to throw him off the scent."
Luna nodded and smiled at the doctor before her." Thank you."
The doctor beamed at her. "It’s no big deal." Then, she glanced at Luna and asked, "Are you friends with Gwen Larson?"
Luna froze, then nodded. "Yes, I am."
"You two are an interesting pair. One can't afford to have an abortion but still insists on it, and the other can but chooses to keep the baby instead. It’d be perfect if you two could switch." The doctor tore the prescription note out and could not help adding," She's a lucky woman to have someone like Luke Jones be at her beck and call all day."
Luna gave her a bitter smile and took the prescription note from her. "She's had it rough, too."
"All women have it rough," the doctor said with a wink before leaving the room.
A few moments later, a nurse entered the room to draw Luna's blood and conduct a series of tests.
It did not take long for the blood test results to come out. When the nurse finished the final body checkup, she had already received the results and handed Luna the lab report.
Luna took the report from her and, seeing that no one was around, snuck into the bathroom to have a look.
Luna sat down on the toilet bowl in one of the cubicles and flipped open the report.
She was pregnant.
The blood test showed that her hormone levels were indicative of early stages of pregnancy. According to the hormonal assay, this fetus...was almost three months old now.
Luna’s hand that held the report started to tremble at what she read.
She recalled the last time she had been with Joshua, which was when they were staying in the hotel next t o the amusement park.
The timing matched up!
It turned out that she had gotten knocked up at that
