The Returning Ex

Since the doctor had already handed her a slip, Sophia swallowed her superfluous question. With the slip in hand, she went to the blood test room. It was almost noon, so only a few people were left, and she had her blood taken right away. Looking at the receipt, she then saw that the results would be out in the afternoon itself.

She wasn’t quite certain how she left the hospital, and at such a time, she wasn’t in the mood to go to the shop either. As she walked, she stopped intermittently before finally calling it a day at a bus stop. Plopping down onto the bench there, she stared ahead at the cars coming and going.

It’s probably my overactive imagination. I never took any steps to prevent pregnancy before the divorce, yet I never got pregnant. At one point, I even suspected whether I was barren. Thus, how could I possibly be when it was my safe period then? This is just maddening!

Sophia sat there until noon when a call came in from John. Through the line, he said he was at her shop before bombarding her with questions—why she didn’t go to the shop; where she was; whether she was still having gastric problems.

At his barrage of questions, she didn’t quite know which to answer. Sighing, she then massaged her temples. “I’m outside, but there’s no taxi now.”
