Female Novel
Chapter 600
Since the doctor had already handed her a slip, Sophia swallowed her superfluous question. With theslip in hand, she went to the blood test room. It was almost noon, so only a few people were left, andshe had her blood taken right away. Looking at the receipt, she then saw that the results would be outin the afternoon itself. novelbin
She wasn’t quite certain how she left the hospital, and at such a time, she wasn’t in the mood to go tothe shop either. As she walked, she stopped intermittently before finally calling it a day at a bus stop.Plopping down onto the bench there, she stared ahead at the cars coming and going.
It’ll be too much if I’m truly pregnant. It was a safe period for me back then, and even if I’m pregnant, itwon’t be apparent so quickly, no? From what I see on the television, the symptoms will only appear alittle after a month. She pulled at her hair. It’s probably my overactive imagination. I never took anysteps to prevent pregnancy before the divorce, yet I never got pregnant. At one point, I even suspectedwhether I was barren. Thus, how could I possibly be when it was my safe period then? This is justmaddening!
Sophia sat there until noon when a call came in from John. Through the line, he said he was at hershop before bombarding her with questions—why she didn’t go to the shop; where she was; whethershe was still having gastric problems. At his barrage of questions, she didn’t quite know which toanswer. Sighing, she then massaged her temples. “I’m outside, but there’s no taxi now.”
At this, John promptly asked, “Where are you? I’ll come and drive you.” Sophia then told him herlocation, upon which he asked her to wait for a while before hanging up the phone.
Putting her cell phone away, Sophia then stroked her stomach, her head feeling heavy.
Meanwhile, over at the shop, John bid Robin farewell and made to leave after ending his call withSophia. Robin hurried over to him. “Are you going to look for Sophia?”
John grunted in affirmation. “She’s outside, so I’m going to drive her.”
Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. “Sophia has a boyfriend now, so won’t it be inappropriate ifyou were to drive her?”
John was startled. “Are you referring to Ian Morgan?”
Robin quickly nodded. “Ian has even made a public display of affection toward Sophia during his show.Thus, Sophia will be caught in a difficult position if you do this, and it’ll also affect her relationship withIan.”
“Ian Morgan?” John snorted. “You’re the only one who believes his delusions.”
All at once, bewilderment swamped Robin. “What do you mean?” Without further explanation, Johnstrode to his car and drove away. Robin was left standing at the door, staring in the direction wherehe’d gone until he disappeared from sight. Her expression was slightly dejected, her exuberance whenhe came over earlier all but gone at this moment.
John, on the other hand, paid no heed to Robin’s words, driving straight to the location Sophia gavehim. When he arrived, he saw Sophia sitting on the bench at the bus stop, looking very much drowsysince she had her head tilted, still as a statue herself. Stopping the car, he then walked over to her.
Sophia didn’t notice his presence at all, so he went over and stood before her. Still, her head remained
lowered, her hair falling to the front. Gazing at her for a while, his heart softened. Her petite and leanstature really tugs at my heartstrings. “Sophia,” he called out.
Sophia slowly raised her head. “You’re here, John?” She seemed really sleepy, and she even lifted ahand to slap herself on the forehead. “Let’s go.”
Sighing in exasperation, John reached out and helped her to her feet, supporting her all the way to thecar. Even after they’d gotten into the car, he was still worried. “Are you not feeling well? How about Idrive you to the hospital for a checkup?”
Sophia reclined against her seat. “I’ve been to the hospital. The doctor said that my blood pressure andblood sugar levels are too low, but I’m fine otherwise.”
