Josh smiled and remarked, “I know you and your wife love each other, so there’s no need to flaunt it in front of us.”
Callum replied, “It sounds like you and your wife don’t express affection. Before I got married, you and my eldest brother fed me a lot of couple moments. Now, I want to share some of my own every day to encourage my unmarried brothers.”
Tatum quickly found an excuse and left the room, as he was the only single person present.
The other brothers, who were also single, chose not to return to the villa.
“Tatum, why are you rushing off? You should stay and listen to our experiences; it could help you avoid mistakes when you pursue your future partner,” Josh teased him.
Tatum walked to the door without looking back and said, “I believe I’m talented enough to teach myself without a mentor, so I don’t need to listen.”
Josh chuckled and replied, “I still think you know how to cook without any guidance.”
He then turned to Zachary and said, “Tatum really enjoys cooking.”
Zachary added, “If he didn’t enjoy it, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy such delicious meals.”
Josh touched his nose, agreeing, “That’s certainly true.”
Meanwhile, at Wildridge Manor, everyone was in high spirits, while Carrie was anxiously waiting to receive her lab test results.
A pregnancy test is straightforward; it simply requires a urine sample, and the results come quickly.
As she awaited the outcome, Carrie silently prayed that she wasn’t pregnant, especially since she had been feeling nauseous and had vomited. If she were truly pregnant, she would need to consider an abortion, which she had heard could be quite painful.
Moreover, Mr. Labbe had advised her to take medication for a home abortion.
What if something went wrong and…
Did she die?
Mr. Labbe initially wanted a doctor to visit her at home, but she insisted on going to the hospital for a check-up. He agreed, but she went alone without even the two bodyguards. Carrie used a false identity for the examination and refrained from using her real name, fearing that Camryn would discover her secret. She didn’t want Camryn to know she was someone else’s mistress.
Upon receiving the test results, Carrie saw that they were positive, and her expression changed dramatically. Just the day before, she had researched pregnancy symptoms online and understood that a positive result meant she was likely pregnant. Furthermore, she had vomited the previous night, which she recognized as a sign of pregnancy.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
It was Mr. Labbe calling.
“Are the results in?” he inquired.
Carrie replied, “I just received them; they’re positive.”
Mr. Labbe responded, “I suspected as much. If you come back now, I’ll have the doctor come over to prescribe some medication for you.”
Carrie remained silent and hung up the phone.
After examining Carrie, the doctor asked her seriously, “Do you want this child?”
Carrie then asked, “Is there a high chance it will be deformed?”
The doctor replied, “I can’t guarantee it will be deformed, but the likelihood is higher.”
“If you wish to have a baby, you…
It is essential to exercise caution during the pregnancy preparation phase. You cannot take medication indiscriminately.
“Doctor, can I carry this baby to term and wait until the baby is a bit older to check for any deformities before deciding whether to continue with the pregnancy?”
