Josie lay in bed, unable to sleep due to Dexter’s presence.

Upon hearing this question, she took a deep breath. “On the third day of my arrival in Sumanthova, I fell ill. At first, I thought it was just a case of not being acclimated. It was only after going to the hospital for a check-up that I found out I was pregnant.”

She still remembered the doctor’s astonishment. “You’ve been pregnant for three months, don’t you know?” the doctor had said.

Josie was equally shocked. “How could this be? I didn’t have any signs of pregnancy at all.”

In truth, there were signs, but during her three months in Clusia country, she was constantly on the go. She attributed the occasional discomfort she felt to her irregular eating habits, not giving them much thought.

Upon reflection, she realized that she hadn’t had her period for several months. However, she simply attributed it to exhaustion.

After some thought, she said, “Could there have been a mistake in the examination? It’s impossible. If it’s been three months, how could this child possibly have survived…”

She had experienced life-and-death situations. She was even kidnapped by Rachel for over two days, enduring the rain and fever, as well as being thrown around violently.

The doctor was resolute. Looking at the report, he said, “You are indeed pregnant. Make sure to rest well and ensure you get proper nutrition.”

Josie took the report and walked out of the hospital in a daze, unable to believe that she was carrying a child in her belly.
