She came to her senses and smiled carelessly. "Don't worry. I have a weak stomach. Maybe it's because I have stomachache for several times a month."
She remembered eating chili food a month ago, but that was just once. Ever since Lucian stopped her from eating spicy food back in SJ Garden, she rarely tried it. That was why her stomach hadn't been troubling her until recently.
"Then we should go to the hospital," Jonny insisted.
Amelia refused and said stubbornly, "If people go to the hospital, they will be diagnosed as sick even though they are not sick. I'd better not go there."
"Is that your excuse for neglecting the medical treatment? Let's go." Jonny opened the door of the car and gestured Amelia to get on the passenger seat.
It was true that she didn't want to trouble anyone for some trivial issues. Although her stomach did create problems for her recently, even after having a perfect diet. The symptoms she had included nausea and vomiting. Usually, these issues used to occur due to gastritis, but this time was different. Amelia curiously looked at her stomach. If it wasn't the inflammation in her stomach, then what else could it be?
Her eyes opened wide when a thought crossed her mind. She had never taken precautions every time she made love with Lucian. Was she pregnant?
Her heart thudded against her chest.
"Fine, I won't force you, but at least let me bring you some medicines, okay?" When Jonny failed to get a response from Amelia, he assumed that she didn't want to go with him.
Amelia stood in a daze for a long time. She wanted to see Courtney and tell her e
thing unforgivable to Lucian back then, and their relationship was filled with cracks. Telling him about the child would only mean that Amelia was trying her best to snatch Lucian from Shelly.
"Then, what should we do? Don't tell me you really want to be a single mom?" Courtney looked at her in disbelief.
Amelia didn't think it was a problem. She smiled and said, "This child will be my only motivation to survive in this world. How could I abandon it?"
"Amelia, are you crazy?" Courtney's eyes were wide open in shock. She had thought of every possible way to help Amelia, but none of them involved becoming a single mother.
Amelia shook her head. "I'll try my best to keep my child safe and happy without its father." Amelia was resolute in her decision. Even if she was inexperienced, she believed that as long as she paid attention to her child, everything would be fine.
"Amelia, please just think it over. You can still abort your child in the early stages."
"I know you better than that. You'd never talk about killing an innocent child unless you're afraid that we would suffer. Your attempts to persuade me are useless." Amelia knew Courtney too well. She would never think of abortion.
Courtney's lips formed a faint smile, and excitement glinted in her eyes. "Fine! If you want this child, let me help you. Although my business isn't huge, I'm earning just fine. I can still get milk powder and clothes for my little nephew or niece!" Her smile stretched to form a big grin. She reached out to touch Amelia's flat belly, and said in surprise, "Is it a boy or a girl? What do you think?"
