Chapter 532 I Am Not Pregnant

“Anna, what brings you here? Did you come to visit me?” Alicia was pleased to see me when I arrived. She held my hand and led me to the living hall.

I flashed a faint smile and didn’t stop her as I tried to figure out a proper way to tell her about Janette. “You still haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to stay for dinner?” Alicia looked at me and smiled.

“There’s something I want to tell you.” My tone got serious when I thought of Janette. “What is it?” Alicia’s smile vanished when she noticed the change in my voice and expression.

“I bumped into Janette today, and I noticed she was retching repeatedly.”

I then paused for a moment. As someone with a lot of experience, I believed Alicia would have guessed what I wanted to say.

As expected, her face changed upon hearing that. She looked a little dumbfounded and worried. “You’re saying Janette is pregnant?”

Her expression stiffened almost instantly after asking the question.

I replied, “I’m not sure, but I told her what I thought. I told her to get a thorough check-up at the hospital today, but she refused to listen to me. I have no choice but to tell you about it.”

I took a glance at Alicia and noticed her face had turned pallid, but I continued, “It would be a relief for us if she’s not pregnant, but if she is, we have to start making plans. At this point, I think it’s best to ask her to make a trip to the hospital.”

My gut instinct told me that Janette was pregnant, but I could be wrong. As such, the best way to confirm her pregnancy was for her to get checked at a hospital.

I could see the worry in Alicia’s eyes when she looked at me. It took her a while to respond to what I had said. “All right. I’ll advise Janette to go to the hospital when she comes back. I’m afraid she’ll have a hard time accepting it if she’s really pregnant.”

Her eyes reddened when she uttered those words. I could tell she felt bad for Janette.

I could understand how Alicia felt. Besides accepting that someone had raped her daughter, she also had to deal with the possibility that her daughter might be pregnant.

“Don’t worry about it too much. Who knows, I could be wrong. We’ll replace out if she’s pregnant once she gets a proper checkup at the hospital.” I inched closer and patted her shoulder after hesitating for a bit.

When Alicia was about to say something, I heard the sound of the door opening. Seconds later, Janette appeared before our eyes.

The moment Janette saw me, she became increasingly agitated. “What are you doing in my house? I don’t want to see you. Get out!”

In the past, Janette would have just ignored me. But I could tell she was mad at me because of what I said earlier.

I knitted my brows and was about to explode in anger. But after considering how weak her body was, I decided to let it slide.

“Anna is your sister. You shouldn’t talk to her like that,” Alicia reminded Janette in a gentle voice after wiping off the tears on her face.

“Sister? She’s not my sister. I’m the only daughter in the family!” Janette disregarded me and continued shooting me a sullen glare.

She had said this so many times that I felt nothing anymore.

“Anna came to tell me something important today. It has to do with you, Janette,” Alicia said while shooting Janette a concerned look.

Janette was a smart girl, so she must have figured out why Alicia said that. The color drained out of her face right away. “I don’t need her to tell you anything! Ask her to get out of my sight. This is my house. I don’t want to see her here!”

Janette grew increasingly agitated as she walked in my direction and tried kicking me out of the house.

“Stop it, Janette! Stop acting like a spoiled brat! Anna did this because she cares about you! She told me she saw you retching on the street and was worried that you might be pregnant. Are you…”

Alicia could not bring herself to complete her sentence, as she did not want to hurt Janette’s feelings.

Janette snapped in a flustered manner, “No! I’m not pregnant! Don’t listen to her!”

“Listen, Janette. Let’s go to the hospital and do a thorough checkup. We’ll be able to ease my mind once we know that you’re not pregnant.”

Janette might not listen to me, but I hope she would listen to Alicia. After all, she and I had already experienced pregnancy before.

“No. I won’t go to the hospital. Why should I get a checkup when I know that I’m not pregnant?”

Janette went berserk. It was hard to tell if she was mad or was afraid to accept the truth, but I could see her body was trembling nonstop.

Alicia went up to her and held her hands as she tried to calm her down. “Listen to me for once, okay? So what if you’re not pregnant? It’s just a medical checkup.”

I could tell Alicia was trying to hide her feelings as she did not want to agitate Janette further.

At this point, Janette was on the verge of breaking down. What could we do if she’s pregnant? It took her quite some time to get over the nightmare, and all of a sudden, this pregnancy scare is weighing her down again. If she really turns out to be pregnant, I’m afraid she won’t be able to take the news well.

“I said I’m not pregnant! I won’t go to the hospital! Don’t you dare force me to go! Why don’t you believe me, Mom? I told you I’m not pregnant. I’m not pregnant! Why can’t you believe me?”

In a panic, Janette pushed Alicia’s hand away. Alicia and I could tell that she was terrified, and the explosive reaction was her defense mechanism.

“I’m just worried about you, Janette. What if what Anna said is true? We have to start making plans as early as possible to minimize the possible damage to your body. You understand?”

Alicia tried putting it as vaguely as possible, but it was not difficult to understand what she was implying. Had Janette’s pregnancy been confirmed, Alicia would do everything to get rid of the baby, as she knew no one would accept the child once they found out how it came to be.
