Aaron pretended to be embarrassed. “Why me? I’m still a virgin. It’ll be so awkward for me to buy thatkind of thing!”

Both Xante and Corinne were speechless.

Aaron was only trying to be funny to liven up the atmosphere but it did not work as both Xante andCorinne were looking at him with disgust and with their mouths in a tight line.

He immediately dropped the act and shrugged. “Okay, okay. I’ll go get the pregnancy test. Huh! I can’tbelieve that 1, the owner of the Newmoon Group, am being ordered around like a little scullery maid.Sigh! What has become of my life!”

Xante gave him a side-eye and said nothing else as Aaron continued with his blabbering. She thenstarted the car engine and drove to the nearest drugstore. While driving, she kept looking up at therearview mirror to check on Corinne.

‘She doesn’t look too well after all that retching she did moments ago,’ thought Xante with at worriedfrown on her face.

Corinne was indeed not well. Recently, she burned candles at both ends in coming up with a design forHolden Group’s new building. She did not rest much even though she spent most of her days coopedup at home. Moreover, she seemed to feel tired easily to the point she suspected she might besuffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.

Aaron pointed to a drugstore outside the window and said, “Xante, we just passed by a drugstore. Whydidn’t you stop the car?”

The more Xante thought about it, the more worried she became. “I think it’s best if I bring the boss tothe hospital for a checkup,” she said solemnly.

“Did you forget that the boss hates going to the hospital?” asked Aaron quizzically.

“She’ll only need to do a blood test and that won’t take long,” insisted Xante. She looked at Corinnefrom the rearview mirror and said, “Boss, you should go to the hospital. You don’t look that well. Youshould do a check-up even if you don’t think you’re pregnant. Besides, what if it’s an ectopicpregnancy? It’ll be easier to treat if it’s detected earlier.”

The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched uncontrollably. ‘I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant and yet here sheis worrying that it might be an ectopic pregnancy? Indeed my period hasn’t come for two monthsstraight.”

Corinne was not sure whether her period schedule was messed up from stress or if she got pregnantthat night. In the end, she gave in to Xante’s and Aaron’s nagging and agreed to do a blood test at thehospital.

In the hospital’s OB-GYN department.

The OB-GYN specialist looked down at the blood test result and said solemnly, ” Congratulations,You’re seven weeks pregnant and the fetus is developing very well.”

Corinne was stunned at the discovery. She subconsciously touched her belly and thought, ‘I’m sevenweeks pregnant?’

Xante stayed calm at the news, but Aaron was tearing up excitedly. His emotions were all over theplace as he said, “My god! I’m going to be-”

The OB-GYN specialist immediately gave him a fierce look. “Can the dad please be quiet? This is ahospital after all. You must not disturb the other patients.”

Aaron laughed and quickly explained, “Doctor, you’re mistaken. I’m not the father. I was going to be anuncle!”

The doctor frowned and said, “Why are you so excited if you’re not the father? Where’s the fatheranyway?”

At the mention of the baby’s father, Corinne blushed. “He’s on an overseas business trip and doesn’tknow about this yet.”

The OB-GYN specialist sighed and said pointedly, “I’ll let it slide this time but he must accompany youon all future visits. Men! How can they leave all the birthing to the women? No matter how busy theyare with work, they should still accompany their wives to the hospital for a check-up!”

Corinne nodded. “Yes, you’re right, doctor. Thank you for your advice.”
