In a daze, Laney squatted beside the bathtub and hugged herself, burying her face in her knees.
Listening to her beating heart, an indescribable fear began to take over her. She didn't know how long
she had squatted there, but her legs and feet started to feel numb.
Then she staggered and stood up with the help of the edge of the bathtub. Her first instinct was to
check the Internet for answers.
Sure enough, it said that sometimes pregnancy tests were inaccurate, although it was a small
possibility.
Laney thought that maybe it was a fluke, so she went to the hospital to have herself checked.
The hospital was full of foreigners, which scared Laney a little.
This was even scarier than the first time she was sent to a hospital after she was injured in a mission.
After coming out of the examination room, she sat on a bench and waited for the results in a trance.
Thirty minutes later, a woman in a lab coat came out to confirm her worst fears: she was in fact
pregnant.
All of a sudden, Laney felt that her whole world was overturned.
"Miss, are you okay?" The doctor asked worriedly when she saw that Laney was shaking.
"Yes, yes.Thank you." But Laney was so shocked that she couldn't even force a smile.
She sat down on the bench, not even daring to think about what she should do next.
The only thought in her mind at the moment was to abort the baby. She didn't want to be tied to Garrett.
Moreover, she wasn't ready to be a mother! In fact, she had never even thought about becoming a
mother before.
Moreover, Laney‘s parents had died when she was very young.
How could she become a good mother if she never had one herself? She wandered around the
hospital aimlessly before finally deciding to grab something to eat.
However, before she even knew it, she subconsciously considered only food that was suitable for
pregnant women, avoiding that which wasn‘t.
When she finally realized what she was doing, she ran her fingers through her hair in distress.
She really wanted to abort the child, but she found that she didn't have the heart to do it.
A new life was growing inside her body.
She didn't want to kill it with her own hands.
But if the baby was born, it would be fatherless...
"This is your own fault.You shouldn't have had sex with him in the first place!" She scolded herself
ruthlessly.
What should she do? Lost in thought, she didn't even notice the man standing behind her.
The young man was Corey Finch, a new member of Pole Shadow.
Quite recently, when he was on his first mission, the enemy captured him and held him hostage in a
club. It was Laney who had rescued him.
He wanted to thank her in person, but Laney left the day after he was saved.
It seemed that they were destined to meet again.
He was on a mission here, and by sheer coincidence, he ran into Laney again.
Corey was pleasantly surprised to see Laney.
When he was about to go up to her to say hello, he remembered that this was the OB–GYN
Department.
Was she pregnant? Corey‘s eyebrows shot up in surprise. He quickly ducked his head and deliberately
avoided Laney, wondering who the father of the child was.
To be honest, although Laney was a beautiful woman, she was one hell of a fighter.
No man in Pole Shadow dared to flirt with Her..
There was only Garrett who managed to stick around Laney.
So was the child his? Garrett was the one who recruited Corey into Pole Shadow.
Thus, he was steadfastly loyal to Garrett and the two men were close.
He guessed that since Laney had come to the hospital alone in a foreign country for a pregnancy test,
it was very likely that Garrett didn't know about her pregnancy.
Therefore, Corey promptly called Garrett and told him about this.
