Chapter 1354Chapter 1354
"What do I have to do?" Sonia quickly got up and urged, "Just tell me. I will agree to it as long as it's
within my abilities."
"It's not that serious." Tim crossed his arms and smiled. "This so-called effort means that for the days to
come, you have to give up a huge amount of time and freedom to care for yourself. You can't work long
hours, especially during the first three months, and it would be best if you remain on bed rest. Also,
remember to adhere to your doctor's diet plan and timetable. Once you persevere through these three
months, you won't have to continue with this plan anymore. The first three months of a woman's
pregnancy is the most important time because it's the most dangerous, and there is a high risk of
getting a miscarriage. More importantly, you are more prone to these risks than ordinary women."
"So, all I need to do is to rest in bed and follow the doctor's recommended diet?" Sonia clenched her
fists. "If that's all, I can do it."
"Great to hear that, and don't worry. Since you've decided to keep this child, I will do my best to assist
you. After this, I'll have a discussion with the doctors from the gynecology department and come up
with a Baby Care Plan for you. You will successfully give birth." Tim promised.
She felt touched. "Thank you."
"No problem."
"One more thing. I want to know if my baby is doing alright. Did the drugs I took previously affect the
baby in any way?" asked Sonia worriedly as she grabbed a corner of Tim's shirt. With a slight raise of his chin, he asked, "Do you know why you're only diagnosed pregnant now and
not back then?"
She shook her head. Beats me.
"It's simple." He shrugged. "You weren't pregnant at that time."
"I wasn't pregnant?" That answer shocked her. "Does that mean the baby is only two weeks old?"
"Yes." He confirmed her doubts. "When you were sent over, it might've been just a fertilized egg that
hasn't planted itself in your womb, so you weren't expecting. The egg might've attached itself to your
womb after you stopped taking the prescription drugs. If that's the case, there won't be any problems
with your baby, so you can rest assured. Of course, if you're still worried, you can find out if your baby
is healthy when you come for regular checkups."
Since he had put it that way, Sonia naturally would not doubt him, and her worried heart finally relaxed.
"That's great. I might be the luckiest person in the world to have gotten pregnant safely while facing
such a tragedy."
"Indeed, you are. Well, it's getting late, so you should head back and rest. I'll find Mr. Cross and come
up with the plan for you. See you tomorrow. I think you should hurry up and tell Toby about your
pregnancy." Tim looked at her with a slight smile.
After having had her thoughts pointed out, Sonia smiled sheepishly. "Yes. I shouldn't hide something so
important from him. Moreover, this news can make him happy, which might help his recovery." Make him happy? Tim raised an eyebrow as he thought this news was more like a shock than a
surprise for Toby.
As his part-time psychiatrist, he understood what Toby was thinking and knew that guy's sexual desires
would have to be put on hold again.
While thinking of that, Tim pursed his lips to hide his smile. By the way, have I been smiling more
frequently lately?
After Sonia bade him goodbye and left the gynecology department, she headed for Toby's ward.
On the way there, she was so happy that she started humming a song. As all her worries about her
pregnancy were gone, all there was left was happiness.
Luckily, she still had her judgment because she thought of dancing to show her joy.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookAt the same time, Toby was resting with his eyes closed inside his ward. When he heard someone
singing outside, he opened his eyes and turned to look at the door.
The next second, the door was pushed open, and in came Sonia. She had just closed the door and
turned around when she met Toby's bright eyes.
Startled, she patted her chest. "Toby, what are you doing? You almost scared me to death."
He tugged his lips into a thin line and argued, "I wasn't doing anything besides looking at you. You
didn't notice me, yet you blame me for scaring you." He sounded aggrieved. She parted her lips but did not know what to say because she was the one in the wrong.
"Forget it." She waved her hand and headed for the hospital bed. "Why are you still awake? Didn't I tell
you not to wait for me? Are you being disobedient again?"
"I'm not being disobedient. I can't sleep because I'm worried about you." He picked up the remote and
raised the bed before sitting up.
She sighed. "Fine. It's my fault for worrying you." Then, she approached him and grabbed his hand.
"But there's nothing to worry about anymore. I'm fine."
"How was it?" Toby used his other hand to cup her face and look at her with concerned eyes. "What did
Tim say?"
Hearing that, Sonia beamed.
When Toby saw her silent smile, he could not figure out what it meant and felt anxious. "What's wrong?
Tell me."
She patted the back of his hand. "Don't worry. It's good news."
"What good news?"
She placed her palm on her belly and announced, "I'm pregnant."
As soon as she said that, the room fell so quiet that they could only hear each other breathing. All she saw was Toby sitting stunned as if he had lost his soul. What's this? Why is he reacting this
way?
In her mind, he should be happy and excited to hear that she was pregnant, followed by embracing her
in his arms and not sitting there dazedly like a statue. What's wrong with him?
While blinking her eyes to show her confusion, Sonia nudged him. "Toby? Toby Fuller?"
It was then that he awoke from his daze. "Yes, sorry. I got lost in my thoughts. What did you say?" His
Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice sounded raspy.
Then, she repeated. "I said I'm pregnant."
That's it! She's pregnant! His eyes dilated as he turned his stiff neck to look at her belly. "For real?"
"For real!" She rolled her eyes. "How can I lie to you about such a thing? You, on the other hand, have
been acting strange and don't seem excited to hear the news. What's the matter? Are you upset that
I'm pregnant?" She narrowed her eyes while staring doubtfully at him.
The man shook his head. "No, never."
"Then, why aren't you happy?" She still could not figure out why he would act like that.
The next moment, she was gently pulled into an embrace. "I'm not unhappy about this. I'm just
surprised by the sudden news and was a little dazed. Don't overthink it." However, his thoughts were conflicting with his words. Happy? How can I be happy? I thought we
agreed that once I was discharged from the hospital and felt better, I would find time to accompany her,
but what did I get in return? She's pregnant. Does that mean I don't get to enjoy the benefits she
promised?
While thinking of that, Toby became sadder and more aggrieved, but he did not show it on the surface
and pretended to be happy. Truthfully, he was utterly shocked by her pregnancy news. How did she
suddenly get pregnant?
"Did Tim mention whether you're suitable to conceive now?" He suddenly pulled away from her and
grabbed her shoulder before checking her all over. "Like, would this baby bring any harm to you?"
