"Uhh, yes but..." Amelia answered. She told the truth but the fact that she was recently divorced made it hard for her to speak.
The doctor noticed that Amelia was having a hard time answering her question and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. It was just an honest question." The middle-aged female doctor wore her reading glasses and looked at the results shown in the report. She then excitedly said, "Congratulations! You're pregnant."
Upon hearing those words, Amelia was overwhelmed with so much emotion. She felt uneasy not having Lucian around but at the same time, she felt happy to have his child inside her.
The doctor informed her of some common knowledge about pregnancy, so Amelia listened carefully.
"Actually, we already know her pregnancy, we just wanted to confirm it with a professional," Courtney said. Courtney then whispered to Amelia, "The doctors in this private hospital like to gossip about their patients. Now that we know the diagnosis, we should go."
Realizing how embarrassing it would be for her if news about pregnancy were to spread, she nodded towards Courtney and stood up.
"I can't give you any more advice that would be useful at the moment. I need to review what I know about pregnancy. I need to be careful using the words miscarriage and abortion since there is clearly a difference between the two. Damn it!' Courtney regretfully exclaimed. She then continued in a more solemn tone, "How could I say that you should give up your child yesterday? Your child should be our motivation for the future! We have to love him or her with all our hearts."
Hearing Courtney's passionate words towards her unborn child made Amelia smile. They continued on to Courtney's milk tea shop and when they arrived and sat down, Amelia continued thinking about what to do to ease the troubles that filled her heart.

e if she was the only one who knew about her pregnancy.
Jonny suddenly answered Amelia's question. "Let me be the father of the baby. I will give him all my love." Jonny uttered those words with utmost seriousness.
Amelia covered her mouth because she was so surprised. It seemed that she didn't expect that Jonny would know.
"Jonny... You... How long have you known?" The book couldn't possibly be enough to figure it out.
"Amelia, you're good at hiding your feelings, but I can clearly see through them with a single glance." As Jonny said those words, he gave her a smile full of love and eagerness to devote himself to her.
Amelia did her habit of biting her lower lip. After a few minutes of silence in deep thought, she looked at Jonny and earnestly said, "Jonny, I am pregnant."
Jonny wasn't surprised at all by what Amelia said. He responded with conviction, "That's great! I think being a mother would suit you very well. I believe the baby will give you the utmost joy in life."
Amelia asked curiously, "Are you okay with me giving birth to this child?"
"Why not?" Jonny asked her with a smile. He then expressed his own opinion on the matter. "This child is the fruit of your love with Lucian. Consider it a blessing. You should accept it."
Hearing Jonny's words put Amelia's heart at ease. She was elated that they had the same outlook towards the child. Without all of the complications, she truly wanted to give birth to her baby.
"Thank you, Jonny." With Jonny's support, she finally had that sense of security that she was looking for.
"Amelia, it seems that you didn't hear me or ignored my words intentionally." Jonny stood up and poured a glass of water for Amelia. He looked at her with the utmost sincerity and repeated his earlier declarations. "Let me be the father of your child. I'll love him as if he or she was my own."
