Trapped By Tainted Love

Chapter 49: Four Weeks Pregnant 

Due to the Sullivan Group's high-intensity working procedures, the leave application system was vastly different from other companies.

According to company policy, in addition to having ten days of annual leave, every employee was given the privilege of asking for fifteen days of paid sick leave in total.

Rachel knew that if she were to go to work in this condition, she wouldn't be able to do anything.

She thought that Victor would only catch her making mistakes, and he would find an excuse to fire her from the Sullivan Group, so she asked for a sick leave and stayed at home to recuperate.

Once she was done filing her leave, Rachel stayed at home for two days.

Today, early in the morning, she wore a comfortable sportswear, ready to leave the house.

When she passed by the kitchen, she saw Abby serving breakfast on the table, so she stopped and said to her, "Abby, I'm going out for a while, but I'll be back later.You and Andy can have breakfast together first."

Without waiting for her response, Rachel left the premises of the house and got in the taxi that had been waiting outside the gate for a Iong time.

As the driver stepped on the accelerator, he looked at Rachel through the rearview mirror and asked, "Where are you heading, Miss?"

Rachel glanced at her cellphone and saw the phrase "appointment confirmed", and said, "To the Flowerence Hospital."

Two hours later, she had finished all her tests and was waiting at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of said hospital.

"Miss Bennet, according to the results of our examination, you're four weeks pregnant."

The doctor adjusted her glasses and gave the detailed report to Rachel.

While looking at Rachel intently, she said, "You mentioned that you've ingested some antipyretics, but I can't say for sure whether it will cause any damage to the fetus, since you're in the earliest stages of pregnancy and it's too early to test out the effects of the medicine on the fetus.I suggest you come back here when you're twelve weeks pregnant, and schedule another checkup."

"I see.Thank you,"

Rachel replied as she stood up.

With the examination report in hand, she walked out of the consultation room without looking back.

The doctor was stunned to see her take this news so calmly.

She had been working for this department for over twenty years, and she had seen all sorts of reactions from people who just found out that they were pregnant.

Some were so delightedly excited that they — cried on the spot, while others felt depressed and panicked.

But out of all the people the doctor had seen, none were as calm as Rachel.

That woman acted as if she didn't even care.

The doctor continued watching Rachel walk away until the next patient came in.

After she came out of the consultation room, Rachel didn't leave the hospital yet.
