Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Pregnant
"Why are you so downcast?" Hope Williams tilted her head, glancing at Aria Richardson, who was bowing her head and touching her belly.
"I’m a bit worried..."
"Worried about what?"
"Worried about everything."
What if I’m pregnant?
What if I’m not pregnant?
What if I’ve got a terminal illness?
Hope laughed, knowing she was overthinking, "We’re almost there, cheer up. Maybe there’s a baby in your belly, be happy."
"Really?"
Hope nodded, "Really."
Aria felt an inexplicable sourness in her nose, pursing her lips and nodding.
The car arrived at the hospital.
The doctor examining Aria looked quite experienced.
With Hope’s reassurance, Aria gradually calmed down, but her heart was still on edge when she went in for the examination.
She was tense and apprehensive.
She was afraid of hoping too much for a child, only to have it end the same way as last time.
After the examination, Hope accompanied Aria as they sat outside waiting for the results, with Aria fidgeting in her seat.
Hope looked at the expression on Aria’s face and smiled gently.
She could understand Aria’s current feelings.
When she was pregnant with Luke and Willow, she felt the same way, expectant and anxious as she awaited the results.
Afraid that she wasn’t really pregnant and would be disappointed.
Hope gently put her arm around Aria’s shoulder and patted her gently, "Just sit and relax, it should be out soon."
Aria nodded and looked at her watch.
She had just checked two minutes ago.
Hope, "..."
Waiting for the results was indeed the most tormenting part.
The doctor finally came out after what seemed like forever.
Both of them immediately looked up at the doctor.
This time, Aria came with a completely different mindset than last time; last time she knew there was no possibility, so she had no expectations, but this time she was full of hope.
Seeing her reaction, the doctor, who was clearly used to it, smiled lightly, "Congratulations, the fetus is already three weeks old. You’ll need to go for an ultrasound later."
Three weeks...
Aria was so nervous her mind went blank.
She’s pregnant, really pregnant.
Hope’s face immediately lit up with a smile, hugging the still-dazed Aria in surprise, "Aria, congratulations, you’ve got a baby."
Aria blinked in astonishment, slowly asking, "I really... am?"
"Yes, congratulations Aria."
Realizing it, Aria immediately hugged Hope tightly, "Ah, I’ve really got a baby, I’m not terminally ill, that’s great, it scared me to death."
Hearing Aria, Hope couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Part of the reason for this person’s earlier nervousness was thinking her constant nausea and vomiting meant she had a terminal illness.
Hope’s eyes were full of laughter, and for a moment she didn’t quite know what to say.
Aria more carefully touched her belly than before, with an urge to cry.
She and Wyatt really have a baby.
It’s truly wonderful.
Unsure of how happy Wyatt Lewis will be knowing this.
Since they brought it up last time, Wyatt had been mentioning it every night.
Evidently, he too was eagerly anticipating this baby.
The smile on Aria’s face gradually became more gentle.
Aria went in for the ultrasound.
Hope was thinking of accompanying her when her phone rang; it was Lucy Parker, "Aunt Parker."
"Hey, Little Hope, is Zoey there with you?"
Hope was puzzled, "No, didn’t she go back to A City with you a few days ago?"
On the other end, Lucy was ranting and raving, "That girl has gone off somewhere again, always running around aimlessly. When I ask Joseph, he also knows nothing. I just can’t manage the two of them anymore."
Hope’s brow furrowed slightly, suddenly realizing.
She knew where Zoey Sanders had gone.
She must have gone to Y Country on her own.
Hope had mentioned it to Joseph Sanders at the time, asking him to keep an eye on Zoey, as she was still young.
But if Joseph claimed ignorance in front of Father Sanders and Matriarch Sanders, he must be intentionally covering for her.
Hope thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Parker, I might know where she’s gone. Don’t worry too much, she won’t be in any danger."
Hearing Hope’s words, Lucy Parker could probably guess that her daughter was hiding something from her again.
"Children grow up to not follow their parents," she sighed, deciding not to press further.
