"Hey, Noah, what's wrong?"
She said as she followed him. She was a bit anxious as to what the matter could be now that she saw how serious his tone and face was.
"Callie, if the An family gave you a hard time, please tell me, and I will immediately take you home. Don't worry about it! I won't let anyone hurt you in any way!"
Noah said with concern ringing in his voice. He knew that the Chinese medicines were for her because he was the one who drove Andrea to see the Chinese doctor.
Sensing that he had already found out about her condition, Carla sighed and said, "Don't worry. Terrence treats me just the same. He didn't treat me differently after what had happened. You really don't have to worry about it,"
"Oh, really? But the thing is, you are going to be with him for the rest of your life. That's what marriage is. And you only have spent about a few months with him. Can you guarantee that three or five years into the future, he would still treat you and love you the same? Think about the future, think about ten years from now.
And with Noah's words, Carla was silenced. She thought things through for a moment and then spoke, "Noah, I don't know what will happen in the future. But there are things that I know for sure. I know that I don't want to lose what I have right now and that I don't want to leave him."
Upon hearing Carla's words, Noah suddenly didn't know what to say. "Callie, I'm just talking about the worst-case scenario here. I just want you to know that you are not alone. Don't worry about it too much and don't be too hard on yourself. Always know that yo
women. I even know some of them. You should give it a try. If you don't give it a chance, how will you know if it even works or not? There's no harm in trying. It's not like you are going to lose anything,"
Andrea said patiently. She knew how bitter those medicines were and empathized with her daughter as she put in an encouraging word. She knew that everything would be worth it if the medicine worked and she got pregnant.
"But mother, he didn't even do a check up on me. How would his prescription work? I highly doubt it," Carla said, frowning. She was trying to talk her way out of drinking them. They tasted so horrible that she wanted to do everything she could just so that she won't have to take them for a month.
If it were couple of days or a week, she might deal with it and give it a try. But taking all of the medicines for a whole month was deemed to be a bit insane for her.
Her doctor already told her that in her case, any medicine would not help. And in fact, she trusted her doctor more than the Chinese doctor she had never even met.
