Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 55: A Physical Examination Two Months In Advance 

There was one thing Rachel was sure of: since the day she fell into Victor's arms in public the workload in the archive had decreased a great deal.It was time for lunch again one day.

"Urgh!"

Rachel gagged, throwing up everything she had just eaten into the washbasin.She gripped the sink's edges hard as nausea assaulted her.

Abby rushed over and gave her a bottle of water to gargle.

"Miss Bennet, you've thrown up almost everything you have eaten.Would you like to eat a bit more?" she asked with a frown.

Rachel groaned with tears in her eyes as the nausea subsided.

Then, she wiped off her drool and slowly washed her face.

It hurt Abby to see her so pale.

It was apparent that vomiting so hard had taken a toll on her.

Rachel knew it wasn't easy to bear a pregnancy, but she didn't think it would be this difficult.She had vomited a lot in the past few days.

The baby in her womb had caused her a lot of physical stress.

"No, I don't want to eat anything now.Let's talk about it later," she said hoarsely.

Abby nodded and helped her out of the bathroom.

They walked carefully to the sofa in the archive and sat down.

Abby looked at Rachel's belly and pouted.

"Miss Bennet, you have endured so much to keep this baby.If it doesn't listen to you when it grows up, I'll spank it on your behalf."

Rachel smiled and said, "You'll have to remember to keep your word, then.Don't back down when you see its cute face."

"No way!"

Abby shook her head sideways vigorously.

"You have endured so much throughout this pregnancy, so this kid had best behave themselves.Miss Bennet, look at yourself—it has only been a month, and you have lost a few pounds already!"she said.

Rachel smiled and said nothing.

Knock, knock Someone knocked twice on the door of the archive, interrupting their banter.

Rachel looked up to see a man in a suit walk in with two nurses.

"Who are you?"

Abby narrowed her eyes at the unexpected guests, especially the nurses.

She couldn't help but recall Andy's warning to Rachel; he'd said she would face many troubles if she insisted on keeping the baby.
