An Impossible Marriage
Chapter 101

Chapter 101

Margaret was dumbfounded. “Noah, why did you bring me to see a gynecologist? I have an upset stomach, so bring me to the gastroenterology department first for a gastroscopy or something.” It was too awkward to have a guy accompany her to see a gynecologist for her irregular menstruation.

Noah replied seriously, “I did what was told by Mr. Lewis.”

Christopher asked him to do that? Is he trying to check if I'm pregnant?

She did not say anything else and followed Noah to the gynecology department obediently.

Since it was a private hospital, and it was nighttime, there were not many patients around. She entered the consulting room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the doctor was a middle— aged woman. Initially, she was worried that it would be a male doctor..

“Tell me your symptoms,” the doctor said professionally.

“Um... My period is late for a month,” Margaret answered.

“Do you experience any symptoms such as swollen breasts, nausea, or drowsiness?”. the doctor asked again.

Margeret panicked when she heard that, as she had all these symptoms mentioned by the doctor. "Yes. What does it mean if I have all these symptoms?”

“Well, there is a high chance that you're pregnant. But I cant confirm after diagnosis. Are you married? How old are you?” the doctor adjusted her glasses and asked.

Hearing those questions, Margaret felt a strong urge to leave right away. Nonetheless, she glanced at Noah, who was standing by the door and answered, “Yes, I'm married. I'm twenty-one years old.” "Okay, let's run some tests first. Come back to see me again after the results are out.” The doctor then prescribed some tests for her.

However, as soon as Margaret walked out of the consultation room, she felt anxious. Out of fear of knowing the results, she said, “I think I'm fine, Noah. I don't want to do the tests. Let's go back.” Noah thought she was afraid of needles, so he tried to comfort her, “Don’t worry. You'll be fine. It's just a blood test. You'll get pricked by a needle, that's all.”

Margaret was rendered speechless. Left with no choice, she went to the phlebotomy department in the end. She stared at the nurse, who injected the needle into her blood vessel, drawing two test tubes of bright red blood.

Seeing how calm Margaret was, Noah was confused. She doesn't look like she’s afraid at all. Why is she freaking out just now?

The test results came out in a short while. Nonetheless, Margaret could not understand the data that was written on it. On the way back to the gynecology department, Noah's phone rang. “Mrs. Lewis, please excuse me. I need to take a call,” he said before leaving.

Margaret returned to the consultation room and handed her report to the doctor, who took a look and said, “You're pregnant.”.

“Are you sure?” Margaret felt her hands and feet turn cold at that instant.

The doctor noticed the look on her face and asked indifferently, “If you're not ready to have a child, you should have taken preventive measures.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Margaret remained silent for a while before saying, “No, it's not that I'm not ready. I'm happy as long as the baby is healthy.”

It's exactly what I hoped for! Christopher said as long as I can bear him a child, he will let me go. But, why am I not feeling happy when I can regain freedom soon?

Right then, Noah came in after taking the call. “So how's the result?”

The doctor showed him the report and was about to speak when Margaret interrupted, “I'm not pregnant. It's getting late now, so I'll go to the gastroenterology department to get my stomach checked tomorrow.”

The doctor was a little taken aback. However, as soon as she saw Margaret's pleading eyes, she paused for a while before saying, “When you get back, be careful about what you eat and don't starve yourself. Most importantly, don't take medicine indiscriminately.”

Hearing that, Margaret breathed a sigh of relief. She understood what the doctor was trying to say, “Thank you. I understand.”

She did not know why she wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret, either. That was

just a subconscious act. To others, the birth of a new life was a blessing that would bring happiness to the family. However, to her, it was a heavy burden.
