Chapter 118
The office was enveloped in a deafening silence.
Tiffany's eyes widened. "Dr. Harvey, what did you just say?"
"Based on the symptoms you described and the physical examination, it seems you're pregnant."
She was pregnant! It must be from that night. But...
"Wait, that's impossible!" Tiffany blurted out.
Jacob sensed something was off. "Why do you think it's impossible?"
"Because I..." Tiffany's voice trailed off.
She had taken emergency contraception. It was within the 72-hour window. It should have worked. How could she be pregnant? Jacob glanced at Vincent knowingly. "Even with precautions, there's still a chance. They're not guaranteed."
"But... doesn't the pill usually work?" Tiffany's voice trembled with fear.
She had taken it as a precaution. But now, faced with the possibility of still being pregnant, she was genuinely terrified.
"The pill?" Jacob glanced at Vincent, then back at Tiffany. "It's usually pretty reliable. Which brand did you take?"
Tiffany shook her head. She had just grabbed one from her sister's stash without paying attention to the brand. "Does it really matter which brand it was?"
"It does, to some extent, but it's not everything. Sometimes, generic pills aren't as reliable. There's also the chance it might have expired," Jacob explained.
Exchanging glances between Vincent and Tiffany, he asked, "Do you still have the pill? If you do, I could take a look."
Tiffany shook her head again, feeling queasy and pale. "Dr. Harvey, are you sure about this?"
"Well... diagnosis based solely on symptoms and physical
examination aren't always definitive. If you're unsure, you could take a pregnancy test or have a blood test at the hospital for confirmation," Jacob suggested.
"Okay." Tiffany nodded, then turned to Vincent. "Mr. Lewis, I think I need to take some time off."
"Do you want me to come with you?" Vincent asked.
Tiffany shook her head and walked away.
As Tiffany left, Jacob couldn't hold it in any longer. "Mr. Lewis, shouldn't you go with her?"
Vincent looked unfazed. "Didn't you hear? She said she doesn't need me."
Indeed, in matters of pregnancy, it was the child's father who should be there. What role did he have to play in it anyway?
"This is such a big deal..." Jacob
paused, struggling to find the right words. Mr. Lewis, even if safety measures aren't taken, relying solely on pills isn't advisable. It's harmful to the body."
Vincent was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled. "What? You think the child's mine?"
"It's... not?" Jacob asked.
Vincent waved his hand dismissively. "Just leave."
Jacob was left speechless.
Seeking a more reliable result,
Tiffany decided to skip the home et
pregnancy test altogether and went straight to the hospital for a blood test.
After the blood was drawn, she settled into a chair to wait for the results. Her thoughts were a jumble of emotions.
She couldn't believe she was pregnant with Vincent's child.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
