Chapter 160 - 160 Fertility Test

160 Fertility Test

Of course, Brandon doesn’t know about the other clients that I work with, and I just couldn’t come out to tell him that. Even if I did, I doubt that he would care about my discomfort. He’ll just laugh it off and then completely dismiss it as me being too sensitive.

Of all the hospitals that we had to come to for my fertility test, it had to be Adrian’s hospital and the main branch where he worked at. A knot formed in the pit of my stomach as a sense of dread filled me. Without even realizing it, I had started praying for me not to run into Adrian while at the hospital.

“Come on out. What are you waiting for?” Brandon said to me when he opened the car door for me.

“Umm…yeah…thanks…” I muttered vaguely while still in a state of denial and disbelief.

Someone, please tell me that this isn’t happening and that this isn’t real.

Brandon held my hand casually in his like we were truly a real couple before dragging me after him from the parking lot to the hospital building. I kept telling myself that the hospital was large, and Adrian doesn’t take care of any clients unless they are VVIP. Plus, Adrian probably doesn’t even know that I’m here in the first place. He’s probably having meetings somewhere in the office building and may not even be in the same hospital building as me during the time that I have my check-up. On top of that, I’ve never heard of him working in the gynecology department so the odds of me bumping into him there were quite close to zero.

I took in a deep breath that made me feel only slightly better about the situation that I was in. After glancing at the side profile of Brandon’s face as he walked close to my side, I realized that I wasn’t just worried about Adrian running into Brandon, I was worried about Brandon running into Adrian too. At that moment, I had no idea who I was more worried about. However, before I worried about the two men, I thought that it might have made more sense for me to worry about myself.

I broke out in cold sweat as my nervousness and anxiety started taking over me in full swing. We were immediately greeted by polite-looking nurses the moment we entered the lobby of the hospital. One look at me and the nurses’ faces betrayed their surprise. I wanted to close my eyes and disappear. Of course, everyone in this place would recognize me as Adrian’s fiancée. I glanced over at Brandon while I tried to tell myself that there might be some possibility that they would see him as simply my friend.

However, the moment, my eyes laid on him and then our entwined hands and fingers, I completely ditched the idea. No matter how anyone looked at it, we looked like a couple.

.....

“How may we assist you today, Sir?” the nurse inquired politely while she desperately tried to stop herself from staring straight at me.

“We have an appointment for my fian…” Brandon replied to my utmost fright.

I had the vision of the walls of my world suddenly crumbling down all around me with a loud bang.

“Fertility test! I’m here for my fertility test,” I cut in loudly before he could finish what he was going to say.

He can’t call me his fiancée here in this hospital because, in this place, I am Adrian’s fiancée. The nurse’s eyes widened for a moment before she smiled politely at Brandon and me.

“I see. Let me check on the status of your appointment for a moment. Here it is. Please follow me this way,” the nurse said before leading the way.

I wanted to snap at Brandon, but I was forced to admit that he didn’t do anything wrong. I’m on the clock right now working as his contract girlfriend. This is just going to get more and more complicated. I started praying again that we don’t run in Adrian and that no one would mention seeing me here for my fertility test to Adrian.

My life was already complicated as it is. Please just give me a break already!

“We’ve arrived. Please wait here for your name to be called. The doctor will assist you shortly,” the nurse said before smiling politely at us again.

She turned to leave, and I was left alone with Brandon in the waiting room along with the other patients and their families. As expected, the gynecology section was filled with couples, pregnant women, and families with very young children. Being the only fake couple there made me feel strangely out of place and I began wondering if Brandon felt the same thing.

“Are you ok? You look so nervous and on edge…” Brandon turned to ask me.

“I’m fine…” I replied as I tried my best not to snap at him.

Whose fault do you think it is that I’m stuck in this situation?

“Don’t be nervous. This hospital is famous for its great service in case you don’t already know that. I’ve chosen the best hospital for you,” Brandon informed me confidently.

Brandon probably couldn’t guess what I was so nervous about. I was sure that he wasn’t lying, and this indeed was the leading hospital in the country; however, that wasn’t the issue!

“Yeah…thanks…” I replied vaguely.

While sitting there waiting for my name to be called, I couldn’t stop my eyes from drifting to the door as if Adrian could walk in at any moment. It took all the strength and resolve in me to stop jumping each time the door opened and someone new walked into the room. It was driving me insane and although I wasn’t looking forward to my check-up at all, I couldn’t wait for it to be my turn so that I could at least hide in the private check-up room.

The door to one of the check-up rooms opened and a nurse dressed in her pristine white uniform walked out. At the same time, the speaker above called my name. The nurse approached me with a welcoming smile before leading both Brandon and me to the check-up room. It was finally my turn.
