Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 376

“I know you won’t spill the beans to him. It would just add fuel to the fire.” I said with a grin. “Dr. Karina, I know you’re swamped, so I won’t chew your ear off anymore.”

Karina caught my drift that I wanted her to hit the road. Without a word, she turned on her heel and left the room.

She was a sharp cookie. She knew my relationship with Neil was a can of worms. Since she then knew that I was carrying Russel’s kids, she probably wasn’t going to spill the tea about me to Neil.

Her end game was to marry Neil to make up for lost time. Since the position of Neil’s wife was then up for grabs, and she and Neil even had a kid together, everything was going swimmingly.

No one would have rocked the boat at that point.

After Karina split, the doctor came in and did some basic checks on me. Just then, I felt a warmth down below, as if something was leaking out.

While the doctor was still blabbing, I interrupted him with a puzzled look, “Doctor, can pregnant women with twins have incontinence?”

“There could be some; why do you ask?” he queried me.

“Just a little? I feel like I’ve wet the bed,” I said, embarrassed but also certain that it was something different.

Russel was at the door of the ward. Since no one else could be in the room during the check-up, I didn’t have to beat around the bush.

The doctor instantly checked under my covers, and upon seeing the wet spot on my bed, he blurted out, “Your water broke!”
