They came to the hospital to have an examination. The doctor took a glance at Stella and then at
Clarence and coughed, “Can you wait outside?”
Clarence frowned displeased. "Why?"
The doctor sternly said, "We may need other more detailed examinations. It may not be convenient for
you to stay here."
"I'm her husband, what's the inconvenience?"
Stella tugged at his sleeve, "Listen to the doctor. Just go out and wait for me."
Clarence reluctantly left.
After he went out, Stella couldn't help clenching her hands on her knees. "Is there something wrong
with the examination?"
The doctor shook his head, "It's not about the examination."
Stella couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The doctor said again, "I read your previous medical records. You were pregnant with a child four years
ago. After an accidental miscarriage, you didn't take care of yourself well, did you?"
Stella was startled. She probably realized what he was going to say and nodded subconsciously.
"We also saw that you were pregnant with a child a year ago. Your doctor should have told you that
based on your physical condition, you were very lucky to be pregnant with that child."
Stella suddenly felt a bit dry in her throat, "He told me."
The doctor put her checklist in front of her, "Unfortunately, you are not pregnant. The reason why your
menstrual period is delayed is because of irregular work and rest, which leads to endocrine disorders in
the body."
Stella said, "Do you mean I won't get pregnant anymore?”
"This is not necessarily true. If you want a child now, you have to take care of your body. You may still
be pregnant with a child. It's just that you have a much lower chance of getting pregnant than others."
Seeing that her face was a little pale, the doctor said again, "Don't be discouraged. Although it is not
easy for you to get pregnant, you still have a glimmer of a chance. Besides, many DINK families don’t
have children. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. The reason why I asked your husband to go out
just now was to respect your choice about whether to tell him. "
Stella said dumbly, "Thank you."
She didn't know how she got out of the clinic, but she felt the helplessness and hesitation that Sherry
felt yesterday.
Sometimes things didn’t match with one’s expectations.
Sherry didn't want a child but got pregnant unexpectedly.
And she probably wouldn’t get pregnant again in this life.
"What happened?"
A low male voice came from the front. Stella pulled herself back to the reality and the man’s facial
features became clearer and clearer for her.
Seeing that her face was pale, Clarence frowned, "What did the doctor tell you?"
Stella shook her head, "Nothing."
“If nothing happens, why do you look so bad?”
Seeing that Clarence was about to go to the clinic, Stella pulled him back and whispered, "Nothing
happens. Really. It’s just that my period suddenly comes and my abdomen hurts a little.”
Clarence asked, “Does it come?”
Stella replied in an extremely soft voice, “Yes. Let’s go back.”
Since Stella didn’t want him to know about it, it was meaningless to continue to ask her about the result
of the examination.
Just as Stella took two steps, she felt her waist being wrapped by an arm and at the next moment, her
body rose to the sky.
Before she could say something, Clarence said, “Close your eyes and take a rest if you feel it hurts.”
Stella didn’t struggle. She buried her head in his arms and quietly closed her eyes.
On the way back, Stella said, “Clarence.”
“Huh?”
“I want to see Sherry. Can you send me there?”
“Okay.”
When they arrived the downstairs of Sherry’s house, Clarence said, “I will wait for you here.”
Stella said while unfastening the seat belt, "No need, you can go back. I'll just hail a taxi back later."
Stella finished speaking and prepared to get out of the car, Clarence grasped her wrist.
She turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Clarence fixed his black eyes on her, reached out and helped her tug her hair behind her ears. He then
said slowly, “It doesn’t matter if you’re not pregnant. It’s not a big deal. I will work harder if you really
want a child.”
Stella, "..."
She said after a short while of silence, “We can consider having a child when the Conrad family has no
threat to you. You don’t like kids, right?”
“I don’t like kids because I think they will bring many troubles. It doesn’t have too much to do with the
Conrad family.”
“Then who will inherit your inheritance after your death?”
Clarence, "..."
He replied without hesitation, “You.”
“But what if I die earlier than you?”
“It’s impossible.”
Stella couldn’t help but twitch her lips. How could this wretched man be so sure about the unknown
matter?
She pondered for a while and then said in a serious tone, “Although you don’t like kids now, maybe you
will change your mind several years later. What if you want a child later yet at that time we can’t give
birth to a child?”
Clarence licked his lips calmly, “Are you questioning my ability?"
Stella was stunned and understood what he meant at the next moment, “No. I… I meant…”
She felt it hard to utter the rest words.
Clarence rubbed her head, "Okay, why do you think so much of it? If you want a child, I will accompany
you to work for it. If you don't want, I will not force you.”
Stella didn’t want to continue this topic with him. She randomly groaned a nasal sound and pulled open
the car door, “I will go upstairs now. You may come back.”
“I will come to pick you up this afternoon.”
“Don’t bother. I want to stay here for a more while.”
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Clarence compromised, “Send me a message when you hail a
taxi.”
Stella said, “Okay.”
When Stella came upstairs to Sherry’s house, Sherry, who was lying on the sofa, was staring at her
phone as if she was about to dig a hole in it.
Stella asked, “Where is Alisa?”
Sherry replied in a weak voice, “I asked her to come back to have a rest. The dishes she cooks are
various and I’ve had two meals.”
Stella sat beside her and took a glance at her phone, “Do you plan to tell Daniel about that?”
“I haven’t made up my mind. I was even thinking of this matter in my dreams. I’m really going to be
crazy.”
Stella patted her shoulder, “Don’t be so anxious. You still have half a month left.”
After a while, Stella got up and went to the toilet.
Sherry collapsed onto the sofa spiritlessly, but accidently Stella’s bag fell onto the ground because of
her movement. When Sherry picked up the bag, she noticed the registration form of the obstetrics and
gynecology clinic that fell out of the bag.
When Stella came back, Sherry asked, excitedly, “Stella, are you pregnant too?"
Stella was stunned, and then smiled, "No."
Sherry said, "But I just saw your registration form for the obstetrics and gynecology clinic of the hospital
this morning."
"My period was postponed for three days. Clarence thought I might be pregnant, so he took me to the
hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said it was an endocrine disorder caused by irregular work and
rest."
Sherry said pitifully, “I thought we can…”
She suddenly paused.
They could do what together? She wanted to abort her child! What was she
thinking?
