Even if it was for tomorrow, Fiona didn't really want to do the checkup. However, she knew that Mandy
would definitely ask her to do it. So she felt like there was no way she could escape from it.
If she had known that this would happen, she would not have slept with Ethon so soon.
Now that there was nothing she could do, she was feeling a little regretful. How could she have been
so unreserved right from the beginning? 'How annoying!' she exclaimed in her mind.
She tossed and turned on the bed. One second she would sigh, and the next second, she would be so
upset that she would pull at her hair. But no matter what she did, she couldn't fall asleep. She knew
that Nathan and Mandy had gone out. The two had gone too far in showing their love in front of other
people. Originally, she had thought that she would finally be free again, and it would be good for her to
come to the hospital to take care of Adrian. She thought that it wasn't such a bad idea to take care of
the little boy. So she came here with the hopes that she would relieve some pressure off Mandy, but
she didn't expect that she would become a burden to her.
The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became. To distract herself, she picked up her
phone and started browsing on WeChat Moments.
Ethon was not fond of posting about his life on the platform. They had broken up for five days already,
but he had not posted anything new on his account. However, when they were still dating, almost all of
Ethon's moments were related to Fiona.
Feeling so many emotions, Fiona clicked on her chatbox with Ethon. Her chat history with him from a
few days ago was still vivid in her mind. She would have never expected that they would part ways so
suddenly. The heaviness in her heart was so strong. After being together for so long, she was not used
to not knowing what was happening in Ethon's life. She wondered what he had been doing these days.
She wanted to know how he was.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Almost all of her friends had gone to bed at that time.
Eventually, Fiona clicked on Ethon's WeChat Moments, and everything related to her was still there. He
had not deleted any of them. After the breakup, she had checked his Wechat Moments several times
every day. Although it was her who proposed the breakup, she just couldn't completely cut him off from
her life. At least, not for now. Even Fiona knew that would make her a hypocrite. But she was afraid
that Ethon would really delete everything about her. If he did, then that would mean that they were
really finished.
Then, after she closed his WeChat moments, she checked her microblog. When she saw some
emotional posts from several bloggers, all sorts of feelings came surging in her mind at once. Then,
she saw a picture of a pine tree and a duckling. In the picture, the tree and the animal were confronting
each other. Fiona thought it was interesting, so she saved it.
She smiled with some relief in her heart. She then asked herself if she could really face the pressure
ahead with ease.
Not long after, she posted a WeChat Moment, with the simple words, 'Feeling annoyed!' She attached
the duckling picture to it.
It had been about five minutes since she posted the Wechat moment, but she didn't hear anything from
Ethon. At first, she wanted to just go to sleep, but then she actually did receive a message from him.
"Nana, how are you? I miss you so much. I've been trying to control my emotions lately. I know you're
annoyed with me right now. I'm not going to lie. I've been constantly checking your moments these
days. When I saw the message that you had posted, I knew you couldn't fall asleep. If you don't hate
me, can you please talk to me?"
Every single word in his message seemed so sincere. It was way out of her expectations that such a
proud man like Ethon would speak to her in a tone where he sounded like he was pleading so much.
At that moment, she immediately felt extreme pain. It was like her heart was literally being cut into
pieces with a knife.
Holding the phone on her hand, tears welled up in her eyes. She responded to Ethon's message with a
simple, "Okay, let's talk."
Meanwhile, Ethon was sitting on the floor, feeling dejected and downhearted. It wasn't until he received
Fiona's massage that he jumped on the bed with so much excitement. He quickly typed on the screen
with his slender fingers, "Nana, are you still mad at me?"
After thinking about it for a while, Fiona suddenly smiled. Chatting with Ethon put her in such a good
mood. She replied, "No, I'm not upset anymore."
"Can you forgive me?" Ethon asked after hesitating for a while.
For a moment, Fiona didn't know how to respond. She thought that perhaps she should always
consider everything. What if she really was pregnant? What was more, there was no question that she
was still in love with Ethon. They had a fight and broke up all of a sudden. They had not been in contact
with each other for so many days, but the emotions that ultimately clouded their judgment that day had
already subsided.
For the couple who loved each other so much, there was only torture and countless thoughts left in
Ethon's mind after they had broken up. He missed Fiona so much that he was about to go crazy. In the
past five days, he didn't even step out of his room.
Besides, would it actually matter if she forgave him? "Can there really be a future for us?" Fiona sent a
question to Ethon instead of answering his question. She added a downcast emoji next to the
message.
With that, she was showing her soft side to Ethon.
"Yes, there will be a future for us. My father told me that he liked you. He's now convincing my mother
to approve of our relationship. Nana, please believe in me, okay?" Ethon sent the message with
courage. He didn't want to be decadent like he had been for the past days. He had locked himself in his
room day and night. No matter what everyone had said, he refused to leave the room. He had never
been so disheartened like this before.
"I... I have something to tell you," Fiona responded.
"What is it?" Ethon quickly answered with a frown on his handsome face.
"I might be pregnant." She quickly typed the sentence but immediately deleted it. She eventually
decided not to tell Ethon before the result came out. What if she was not pregnant? That might just
bring so much disappointment for Ethon.
Although Fiona had said that she wasn't looking forward to having a baby, a part of her was actually
somewhat happy. Even though she wasn't ready to be a mom yet, she hoped that one day, Ethon and
she would be able to hold each other's hand in marriage.
"I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Go to bed early, good night." It took Fiona a long time to reply, but she
finally sent out a message.
Lying on the bed, Ethon was thrilled to read her message. He had noticed that it took her a long time to
respond, just to say that she would tell him tomorrow. For a few moments, he could not help but feel a
huge gap in his heart. But then, he pursed his lips and replied, "Good night, Baby. I love you."
Fiona smiled in an instant. When she saw the words 'I love you, ' she felt so much warmth in her heart.
She touched her arms, and she felt goose bumps all over. Though Ethon looked serious on the
surface, he could be really sweet to his partner sometimes. He was a man with both high IQ and high
EQ.
Turning off her phone, Fiona didn't respond anymore. After putting her phone on the nightstand, she fell
asleep quickly.
By the time Nathan and Mandy returned to the ward, they saw Fiona and Adrian sleeping soundly.
Mandy immediately felt relieved. She could have a good sleep that night.
Nathan wrapped his arms in his wife while gently stroking her back with his callused fingers. He
grinned and said, "Good night, Honey."
"Good night."
In fact, it was just an ordinary expression, but Nathan would only utter the words 'good night' to Mandy.
As for others, he would politely say 'goodbye' or 'talk to you later.' It could be regarded that 'good night'
was very important in his heart.
Because 'good night' had the same pronunciation as 'I love you' in Chinese...
