A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Nobody could blame Carlos for his reaction, especially since Cherish was known to be quite clumsy in the kitchen.

“Do you really think your wife is that much of an airhead?“ Leah replied while pinching his arm. Then, she added in a serious tone, “Cherish might be pregnant. I need you to take her to the hospital and find out if it's true. If she is really having a baby, don't forget to file a pregnancy record at the hospital! You need your ID and marriage license to do it!“

Carlos couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was so shocked that it took him a while to come back to his senses. But when he did, he got up and changed his clothes in a blink of an eye. When he went downstairs, he didn't say a single word to Cherish and just carefully dragged her to the car.

Along the way, Cherish kept caressing her belly while thinking of babies. But instead of being happy about it, she felt sick to her stomach. However, the fact that there might be new life growing inside of her caused her maternal instincts to kick in. And because of that, she couldn't help but dote and love the baby in her belly even if she wasn't sure it was really there.

Meanwhile, the father of her potential child couldn't think of anything to say. Carlos could feel nothing but nervousness, and the cold sweat on his forehead clearly showed it.

When they arrived at the hospital, Carlos asked a nurse about where to go for pregnancy. The frantic look on his face caused the nurse to giggle a little bit. With a smile, she guided them to the obstetrics and gynecology department.

Luckily, they came at just the right time since there were no other patients around. The doctor asked Carlos a series of personal questions while Cherish was sitting beside him. She couldn't help blushing in embarrassment because of it. After a while, they were done with the interview and proceeded with a blood test. Since the fetus was still too small for an ultrasound examination, this was the only way they could find out if she was really pregnant.

Even though drawing blood was a simple task, Carlos couldn't stop worrying about his wife. From the moment Cherish sat down on a chair, Carlos held her hand and gently patted her on the back to comfort her, even though she had never really been afraid of seeing needles and blood.

The blood drawing only took a few minutes, but they had to wait for almost forty-five minutes to get the results. In all her life, Cherish had never felt time go by so slow. On the other hand, Carlos was pacing back and forth in the corridor to kill time. Every five minutes or so, he would check on the automatic reporting machine in front of them.

“Can you sit down? I'm getting dizzy just by looking at you,“ Cherish said while rubbing her forehead.

Even though Cherish's request was simple, Carlos immediately sat next to her and responded with the utmost concern, “Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I won't do it anymore. How are you feeling?“ At that moment, Carlos was too frantic to realize that he was overreacting. In his mind, he really thought that his wife was about to faint.

Cherish had never seen Carlos act like this before. He was like a flustered child who had broken his mother's favorite vase. Because of this, Cherish smiled at him to try and calm him down. After that, she calmly said, “I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me too much. Let's just wait for the results in peace, okay? Whether I'm really pregnant or not, there's nothing else to do but to accept it, right?“
