This time her dream was the bloodiest. It was probably because she had too much mental pressure.
"Don't be afraid, dreams are fake." Eric wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Do you remember what day is tomorrow?"
"Pregnancy test."
"It's also Valentine's Day."
Crystal pressed her lips lightly and said nothing.
"Go back to sleep." He tucked the quilt for her and sat on the edge of the bed.
Crystal turned her back to him, not wanting to see his face.
Even so, she could still feel his gaze at her. She asked indifferently, "Why are you still here?"
"I'll accompany you."
"...I don't need your company."
"Darling, can't you be a little gentler to me? Why do you have to treat me so coldly?" Eric's voice sounded still frivolous, but if people listened to it carefully, they would hear the loneliness in it.
Crystal's attitude was still cold, "You make use of Carlos and my family to threaten me, how can I give you my gentleness?"
Eric didn't speak, he just got up and walked to the window, looking at the night outside.
Crystal seemed to hear the click of a metal lighter.
She unconsciously thought that...
When they were in Kuerto, he had promised that he would never smoke again, and she would take a trip every time he smoked.
Now it turned out to be bullshit!
When a man wanted to coax a woman, he could make any promises easily...
After thinking about it, Crystal slowly fell asleep. When she woke up, Eric hadn't left yet, and he had fallen asleep on the sofa, covered with a small blanket.
Crystal frowned. Did he stay here specifically because he was concerned that she might have a nightmare again?
Crystal pulled the quilt gently and got out of bed, but when she raised her head again, the person on the sofa had woken up!
Her movement had been very gentle.
"Are you awake?" Eric sat up, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"
Crystal wondered why he asked such meaningless questions.
"Wait a minute."
He immediately got up, picked up an empty glass, and handed it to her.
Crystal froze for a moment, then she immediately understood what he meant - he wanted her to pick some urine in the cup so that he could have a urine test.
Crystal's face was slightly stiff, "Give me the pregnancy test strip. I'll test it myself."
"No."
"Why?"
"This is our child, I want to be the first one to know it."
What a strange reason?
Crystal's heart sank. She had never seen him care about their child so much before. Why were his eyes glowing now?
It turned out that he had stayed here all night just because he wanted to test it for the first time...
Crystal said in a cold voice, "I feel that you don't trust me. You are worried that I will tamper with the test paper."
"Darling, do you have to misunderstand me?"
"Fine, if you don't mind about it, I have nothing to say." Crystal coldly took the glass.
"That is also a part of you, of course, I like it. How will I mind it?"
"How much do you like it?" Crystal only felt disgusted, "Eric, stop saying such disgusting words in the early morning!"
After Eric saw her close the door, he waited in the room, pacing back and forth, checking the time from time to time....
There was a kind of anxiety rising from his heart as if he were a father who was waiting for his child to be born.
He rubbed his hair nervously, hearing the continuous sound of water in the bathroom.
Crystal usually washed her face, brushed her teeth first, and then took a bath.
Honestly... Crystal was very scared, for fear that she would really have Eric's child after the urine test, so she was deliberately stalling.
Every minute and second she stalled would be the longest torture to Eric.
"Darling? Are you alright?"
Within half an hour, he had knocked on the door at least three times.
While Crystal was still sitting on the toilet....
She had secretly tested it by herself, looking at the two bars displayed on the pregnancy strip test.
Although she had enough mental preparation, she still felt it like a bolt from the blue.
She hadn't expected it to happen so smoothly. It was said that the failure rate of this kind of artificial insemination was quite high, but she had been successfully pregnant only one time.
"Darling." Eric was knocking on the door again as if begging her.
Crystal opened the door with a cold face and put the cup into his hand, "Take it, I have tested it."
"What's the result?"
"You can know it after you test by yourself. Do you need to ask me?"
Crystal was still wearing the original pajamas because she had forgotten to bring clean clothes in, then she said discontentedly, "You have got what you want, get out of my room now, I want to change clothes!"
Eric raised his eyebrows and stared at Crystal for a moment, "Is this really your urine?"
"Eric!"
After a pause, Eric said, "It's still warm, it should be yours."
Crystal pointed to the door, "Get out of here!"
Eric didn't say anything more, turned around, and hurried away. He probably went to find the doctor for an examination.
Crystal stroked her stomach gently, there was already Eric's child inside. This made her feel very resistant.
Crystal had to comfort herself in her heart, "Crystal, it's fine. You can use this child to threaten Eric to release Carlos, then miscarry him after you escape."
She just let this "malignant tumor" stay in her body for a while.
While during this time, she could use this child to achieve all her goals. Thinking this way, Crystal gradually got rid of the gloomy mood.
Downstairs in the hall.
The doctor had already waited there with equipment.
After they got the urine, they checked whether it was fresh or not - it was not because Eric didn't trust Crystal, in fact, Crystal was so cunning that it was possible for her to secretly use a pregnant woman's urine to do the test.
After the examination, they had made sure that the urine was fresh, which showed that she had been pregnant.
"Young master, congratulations! Your wife is pregnant."
Eric stood by the window in a daze.
He frowned slightly and asked again, "Are you sure? I can't accept any errors!"
"Master Bush, please be assured. We have tested it three times, and the results are all the same."
Eric's charming face slowly revealed a gentle smile.
He walked to the window and looked at the morning courtyard.
This was the greatest gift and surprise he had ever received in more than 20 years.
At that moment, his handsome face was relieved of cruelty.
As long as this child was born, he could let go of everything in the past.
PS: This child was a dramatic accident!
