Janessa held her waist and said, "I am uncomfortable this time. I even suffer from diarrhea. I don't want to eat anything except desserts. Sometimes I feel like vomiting."
Emma glanced at her and asked, "Are you sure it's because of your period?"
"Yes," Janessa was stunned by her question.
Emily looked at them confusedly.
Christy glanced at Janessa's stomach.
"Give me your hand," Emma said to Janessa.
Janessa felt a little uneasy. After handing over her hand, she asked, "Do you even know how to feel the pulse?"
Emma felt her pulse for a while and said, "I have felt the pulses of pregnant women before, but I can feel your pulse exactly as it is weak. You'd better use the pregnancy tester or go to the hospital for a check."
Janessa's face turned pale, "What are you talking about? I'm just in my period. Why do you think that I might be pregnant?"
Her heart was beating hard. It suddenly dawned on her that her period had been two months later than that of last month. She thought it was because of her unstable mood recently. She didn't think of the issue of being pregnant.
"Do you know about the threatened abortion?" Emma looked at her and said, "Its symptoms are similar to those of one's period. If a woman gets pregnant, she will vomit, suffer from anorexia or diarrhea."
Janessa held her stomach with her mind being in a mess. Was she pregnant?
It was impossible.
How could that be?
Being worried about Janessa's situation, Armando would turn to her from time to time. When he found that Janessa looked pale, he immediately notified Vincent and then came to Janessa and asked, "Are you alright? What's wrong?"
Janessa grabbed his arm and said slowly, "Nothing. I just feel a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time."
"Should I take you to rest for a while?" Armando asked.
"No need," Janessa waved at him, "I want to continue chatting with them."
"Alright, call me if you need," Armando said while holding her hand.
"Okay."
As soon as Armando left, Janessa turned to Emily and the others, asking, "Who can help me buy a pregnancy tester?"
Emily was stunned for a moment before she stared at Janessa's stomach. She understood what Emma meant, but she couldn't believe that Janessa had taken it as the symptoms of her period.
However, Emily couldn't buy a pregnancy tester for Janessa because the guards would follow her wherever she went. They would definitely tell Vincent.
"I will go buy it," Emma said as she turned on her phone, "There is a pharmacy one hundred meters away."
"I'll do it," Christy stood up and said, "I can make it in a shorter time than you."
Emily also stood up and said, "No need, we will have someone to buy it."
She walked to the dark corner of the private box. A few guards were eating sunflower seeds. When they saw Emily, they immediately stood up.
"Who can help me buy something?" Emily asked softly, "Don't tell Vincent."
The other guards hesitated and took a step back, leaving one guard on the spot.
The guard was lost for words.
Emily looked at him and said, "Alright, you go and buy me..." She tiptoed to him and whispered, "A pregnancy tester."
The guard was stunned.
He stared at Emily's stomach in disbelief for a while.
That was impossible. Didn't Vincent have several dozen boxes of condoms? Were the condoms of poor quality?
Emily added in a low voice, "Give it to me secretly."
The guard turned to Vincent. Although Vincent was chatting with others, he noticed that something had happened. Then the guard rushed out immediately.
There was indeed a pharmacy one hundred meters away. The guard came in nervously and said to the cashier, "Contraceptive drugs."
"What?" The cashier was frightened by the guard's look in a black uniform.
The guard had no choice but to repeat, "Contraceptive drugs."
"Okay," The cashier found the drugs and handed them to him.
Just as he was about to pay the bill, the guard suddenly realized that it should be the contraceptive implant. Then he gave the drugs back to the cashier and said, "I need the contraceptive implant."
"What?" The cashier was confused.
The guard impatiently repeated, "Contraceptive implant."
"It should be pregnancy tester, right?" The cashier asked in a soft voice.
The guard was lost for words.
Ten minutes later, he handed Emily a bag with his face bashed.
Emily asked confusedly, "What happened?"
The guard immediately ran away, feeling awkward.
Emma and Christy supported Janessa as they walked towards the restroom. Armando was worried about Janessa and followed them. Janessa waved her hand and said, "We're going to the toilet. You shouldn't follow us."
Only then did Armando come back to his seat. Staring at their backs, he could not help but wonder why girls liked to go to the toilet together.
Jaquan was half-drunken. He said arrogantly, "You're spoiling her. Men should be men. You know what? Women should listen to us."
Armando glanced at him.
Jaquan patted him on the shoulder, "What did you glance at me?"
Ferne laughed, "It was a look of disdain. We all know that you have been beaten by Emma and sent to the hospital. Are you a man? Don't you remember what happened on the cruise ship last month? You have been kicked by Emma and fallen into the sea. How could you forget them? Don't talk nonsense anymore."
Jaquan was lost for words.
Emily and the others helped Janessa to the bathroom. Then they stood outside to wait.
Janessa had used a pregnancy tester when she had been with Warren before. However, she was still nervous.
"Janessa?" Emma shouted, "Do you know how to use it?"
Janessa didn't answer.
"Janessa? Are you alright?" Emily asked worriedly.
Christy opened the door of the next cubicle. She stepped on top of the toilet and looked at Janessa's cubicle, only to find that Janessa was sitting on the toilet with a pregnancy tester in her hand.
"She is fine. She is stunned," Christy said and came down.
Emily knocked on the door, "Janessa?"
A moment later, Janessa opened the door and came out, "I'm fine." She had thrown away the pregnancy tester and walked towards the hand sanitizer with her fingers trembling.
"Janessa, are you alright?" Emily reached out to touch her.
"I'm pregnant," Janessa turned to her, with her eyes turning red.
Emily looked down at her stomach and asked confusedly, "It is good. Why are you crying?"
Emily knew that Janessa was not from the Mosby family, so she didn't think much of it and couldn't understand Janessa's worry and fear.
"Are you still bleeding?" Christy and Emma asked worriedly.
"Yes," Janessa covered her stomach and realized that she had a threatened abortion.
Would she suffer a miscarriage?
She wanted to give birth to this baby.
She was worrying that she would miscarry the baby. She was restless with her hands propping on the sanitizer.
Christy supported her and said, "You should go to the hospital for a check. If you want to give birth to the baby, the doctors could save the fetus."
"I'll call Armando over," Emily was about to run out.
"Stop!" Janessa stopped her, "Don't tell him for the time being! I'm disturbed now."
Emily stopped and looked at her, asking confusedly, "Janessa, don't you want the baby?"
Janessa shook her head, "I don't know." She looked at Emily and Christy with tears all over her face, "I don't know, I don't know. I don't know anything. I didn't know that I would get pregnant."
"If you don't want the baby, you can contact the doctor to have an abortion," Christy said, "Since Armando doesn't know it yet, we can keep you here for a month."
Emma did not speak.
Emily looked at Janessa's stomach and did not speak again.
She thought that every baby would be blessed. Until this moment, she realized that some babies were just the results of accidents.
Janessa washed her face. She looked at herself in the mirror. Although she was in her thirties, she still had fair skin, good shape, and a beautiful look. With a simple working life, she could sometimes relax by drinking tea and coffee or dining and chatting with friends or colleagues after work. And she could spend the weekends in Armando's store with him. She was content with her life.
However, the advent of this baby was a great surprise to her. She didn't know what to do.
Moreover, she was at risk of miscarrying this baby.
Janessa closed her eyes.
She recalled the scenes in the movie Titanic. She regretted Rose's not having Jack's baby. She still remembered how depressed she was when Armando fell into the sea. While she was waiting for Armando to go abroad, she wished that she could have his baby if Armando could not survive.
"Janessa, are you afraid?" Emily held her cold hand and said, "You should tell Armando no matter what happens. You can't make the decision by yourself. He is worried about you. You shouldn't take all these to yourself."
She was worried that Janessa would go to the hospital alone and have an abortion.
Emma and Christy patted Janessa on the shoulder. They hugged her to comfort her. "Don't be afraid. We will be with you no matter what happens. And you have Armando."
When Armando came in, he saw they were hugging Janessa. Emily found that Armando was standing at the door of the restroom. Emma and Christy also loosed their hands from Janessa at the sight of Armando.
"What happened?" Armando asked seriously.
Janessa quickly wiped her tears. Emily and the others left.
"What happened?" Armando immediately stepped forward to support Janessa and asked.
Janessa looked at him and said, "I'm pregnant."
Armando looked down at her stomach in surprise. He looked overjoyed at this.
"Armando, tell me." Janessa stared at him and asked, "Why am I pregnant?" She said in a hoarse voice with her eyes red, "Tell me why."
"I'm sorry," Armando said as he hugged her.
Janessa suddenly understood.
She had been wondering whether it was an accident. It turned out that Armando had done it to her on purpose.
And he admitted it.
"You bastard!" Janessa reached out to beat him, "How could you make me pregnant? I can't give birth to any child. I can't..."
Armando grabbed her hand, "You can." He kissed her face and said seriously, "With this baby, you will get married to me. The Mosbies will cherish you."
Janessa was shocked.
It was Armando's plan.
He had done this so that the Mosbies would accept her.
"We will be married," he said, "And spend the rest of our lives together."
