Alan didn't get into his bedroom for the whole night. Instead, he slept on the couch in the parlor while
covering himself with a thin blanket.
When Freya got up to make breakfast in the morning, she saw the blanket even drop on the ground.
She teetered over and picked it up and covered on Alan's body again.
However, it happened to wake him up, who didn't sleep well last night.
"Sir, it's getting colder now. It would be better if you get back to your bedroom to sleep. I will wake you
up when the breakfast was ready." Of course, Freya could tell that it was just a mere argument
between the couple. However, she didn't deem herself appropriate to intercede as a servant only.
"It's okay. I am awake now." Alan lifted the blanket and got up from the couch.
He casually rubbed against his own face with hands to sober up. Obviously, he still looked tired
because of the bad sleep. His eyes were even a bit bloodshot.
"Sir, I am going to cook now." Freya then went to the kitchen.
Alan sat for a while to relax himself. He then managed to sober himself up and started to go upstairs.
He took a shower and shaved his beard. After getting himself changed, he stopped while passing by
the room of Nora.
He hesitated and still knocked on the door. But no one responded.
He thought that Nora might still be mad at him. So he stopped knocking and went downstairs.
Soon, Freya finished cooking the breakfast and started to serve dishes on the table. Seeing that Alan
was coming over, she said, "Sir, I will go to notice Mrs. Way for breakfast."
Alan nodded and opened the door of Nora's bedroom. However, as she walked inside, she saw Nora
faint on the carpet.
Freya was stunned and hurried forward. She kneeled down beside her and exclaimed anxiously, "Mrs.
Way, are you okay? Mrs. Way!"
She nudged her a bit but Nora still remained unmoved. Freya was rendered so nervous. So she ran
downstairs and shouted, "Sir, Mrs. Way fainted on the ground! Please come over to the room!"
Hearing that, Alan dropped the sandwich immediately and hurried to run upstairs. He rushed into the
room and saw her lying on the carpet.
At the sight of that, his face turned pale.
He hurried forward and reached out his finger to feel her breath. He didn't get relieved until he could
feel her mere and soft breath.
Then he held Nora up from the ground and said to Freya, "Let's go to the hospital!"
"Okay!" Freya looked even more frightened than Alan. She had no idea how to explain to her lord.
Alan put Nora on the back seat and Freya stayed beside to take care of her.
He hopped onto the driver's seat and drove at full speed to the hospital.
As the Way Family had been granted as the VIP of the hospital, soon, there was a doctor coming over
to check Nora.
"Mr. Way, are you preparing for something about preconception with your wife?" the doctor asked.
Hearing that, Alan was a bit stunned. Seeing that he still kept silent, the doctor asked again to make it
clear.
"Yes, we want a baby." Alan answered honestly. Of course, it was also mentioned by Nora before.
"Okay, we will be careful while checking." After hearing the answer, the doctor soon got into the
emergency room.
Both Alan and Freya were waiting outside. They felt like being through an era while spending every
minute here.
"Sir, is she alright?" Freya sat on the seat with her fingers crossed, looking anxious.
"She should be fine. Perhaps she fainted because of anemia or hypoglycemia as she starved herself
last night." Alan said to comfort Freya. Of course, he said so to comfort himself as well.
He stood still and leaned against the smooth wall with his head raising up a bit. He kept his posture
with both arms wrapped around the handrail behind. He looked worried and anxious as well.
As time went by, doctors and nurses kept coming in and out of the emergency room.
Then the doctor in charge came out. Alan walked over. The doctor took off his mask and said, "Mr.
Way, your wife fainted just because of anemia. Don't worry about that. Besides, there is good news for
you. Mr. Way, your wife gets pregnant. Congratulation, you are going to be a father."
Hearing that, Alan was stunned. He stood still as if he were turned into a statue.
He felt like being rendered deaf all of a sudden. Only the word ‘pregnant' kept echoing in his mind.
"Mr. Way, are you okay?" the doctor seemed to notice something wrong.
Alan collected himself and forced out a smile, "Okay, I got it."
"Take good care of her." After telling him something he needed to pay attention to, the doctor then left.
Freya then came over and seemed to be thrilled, "Sir, congratulations!"
Alan didn't seem to hear what she was saying. He turned around to leave, looking cold with both arms
hanging loosely beside his body. He couldn't help clenching his fists.
He clenched so hard that his nails were even about to pierce his soft palms. However, the mere pain
could never overtake the great agony in his heart. He felt like being stabbed into the chest by
thousands of knifes. Every step he took forward would render him feeling pain all over.
He walked slowly forward while supporting himself by the wall. He felt so exhausted all over and his
knees turned to be feeble. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he suddenly kneeled down beside
the parterre.
He bit his lips hard and his wide shoulders even started to shiver. He tried hard to hold back his tears.
However, tears still kept streaming down his face like waterfall.
Alan wiped off the tears on his face. He sat still and looked at the overcast sky. His heart felt freezing
cold.
Even he himself had no idea how long he had been sitting there. Then he went to the supermarket
nearby to buy some apples and bananas and also some pork and mushroom. He got some snack and
then went back to the hospital.
As he entered, he saw Nora had woken up. He sat on the bed while leaning against the pillow.
Seeing him coming over, she kept her head down to avoid looking at him.
She saw Freya stay beside her as soon as she woke up. And Freya immediately told her that she was
pregnant.
However, for Nora, she felt like being shocked by a bolt from the blue when hearing that.
It only sounded like a nightmare for her.
She had been sitting still on the bed for hours and hours. She could never believe that she was actually
pregnant.
She rested her hand on her flat underbelly. She tried to feel that tiny little baby inside. However, sore
feelings welled up in her nose and throat. Tears streamed down her face.
Of course, she could tell that Alan must have known that earlier. But she had no idea how he felt.
She was only sure that it must be a great and inevitable impact on Alan. She deemed that he must hold
great hatred against her at this moment.
No man in the world could accept the fact that his own wife actually cheated on him. What was worse,
she actually got pregnant with the baby of another man.
She felt so guilty for Alan. So she tried to avoid looking at him as she had no courage to see him face
to face.
