Female Novel
Chapter 612
From the looks of things, it’s as though she’s planning to be away for a long time. After searching theentire house, John then came back out. Taking out his cell phone, he gave Sophia a call.
Turning time back a few hours ago, when Sophia was done packing up early in the morning, she firstwent to the hospital. When she was there, she accessed her blood test report and showed it to thedoctor. Her expression rigid, the doctor scanned through the report before saying, “You’re pregnant.However, it’s still early. Are you planning to keep it?”
Sophia nodded. “Yes.” novelbin
The doctor looked up and studied her for a moment. “You came alone?”
Sophia grunted in affirmation. “My family is busy, so I came alone.” While she was wearing a mask, shewasn’t feeling all that well, so she appeared rather pitiful.
Thus, the doctor’s voice became gentle. “If you’re planning to keep the child, you must keep up with thenutrition requirements in the early stages. You’re too thin. The child absorbs nutrients from the motherin the later stages, so there’ll be an adverse effect if you’re lacking certain nutrients.”
Sophia murmured in acknowledgment, “Okay. I got it.”
The doctor then inquired about the date of her last menstruation and gave her an estimated due date.Then, she told her to come for a B-scan at a later date. She also gave her a lengthy reminder beforesaying poignantly that these words should have been meant for her husband. Putting on a cheerfulfront, Sophia chortled. Finally, she thanked the doctor and left the hospital. Sure enough, I’m pregnant.But how could this be? When did it happen? I really have no recollection at all.
From the hospital, Sophia took a taxi to the train station. She’d already booked a ticket to herhometown, but there was no direct train there, so she needed to change trains. Nonetheless, she didn’tmind since she could just rest on the way there. While she was waiting in the lounge, her cell phonerang. It’s that woman again! She stared at her cell phone for a long time. I just knew that she wouldn’thave taken my words back then seriously!
A few seconds later, she answered the call. The woman on the other end sounded jubilant as sheexclaimed, “Soph!” Sophia said nothing, so the woman continued, “I miss you. Can we have a videocall? I want to show you your sister as well. You’ll definitely like her.”
Glancing at the tourists coming and going around her, Sophia lowered her voice as she replied, “But Idon’t want to see you both.” The moment this remark reached the woman, silence abruptly reigned onthe other end. Sophia then demanded that she stop calling and hung up. Pursing her lips, she leanedback against the chair, her expression vacant.
Having bought a soft sleeper ticket, Sophia climbed into bed when she got on the train after checkingin. She didn’t have any luggage with her since it was too long a journey, nor did her current conditionallow it. There weren’t many people in the soft sleeper compartment, so it was fairly quiet. She groggilydrifted off, only to be roused by a phone call from John. She dopily took the call. “John.”
John sighed. “You left too early. Why didn’t you call me over to drive you?”
“It’s fine,” Sophia blurted. “I don’t like having someone ferry me around. I can manage by myself.”
John then asked whether she was taking a flight, upon which she laughed weakly. “No, I’m taking thetrain. It’s very safe.” He immediately requested her train information before asking whether she packed
any food and clothes with her in a concerned voice.
Sophia reclined against the headboard, feeling herself gradually falling into a trance. The previous time,I took a train here alone with my luggage in tow to seek shelter with the Constance Family. My state ofmind back then was rather similar to my current predicament, feeling utterly lost. But I’d neverexperienced the disenchantment of married life at that time, so I was still very much fanciful. And backthen, I was looking forward to meeting him.
John continued blabbering on the other end. Only when the conductor came to check her ticket didSophia hang up the call.
