Chapter: 349
Francis’ lewd and haughty expression made her shudder with disgust.
She rubbed her arms, growing increasingly uneasy.
Adiscomfort settled in her stomach. Clutching her belly, she broke into a sweat, anxiety washing over her. Could her fall into the water have harmed her unborn child?
Thoughts of the baby brought her back to reality. She glanced at Tyler, who had been tailing her the whole time. She wanted to find an excuse to send him away so she could go to the hospital alone. But suddenly, her vision went black.
Upon regaining consciousness, Ariana found herself in a hospital.
She blinked, her mind racing, unable to understand the situation. Then, the memories flooded back.
Thinking of the moment before she passed out, her heart dropped, and she instinctively reached for her belly. “Don't worry. The baby is okay.” Tyler’s voice came from nearby.
Ariana looked up to see him seated on the edge of her bed.
Relieved, she then realized something, and her gaze fixed on Tyler, wordlessly.
Meeting her eyes, Tyler said, “Ariana, you've been pregnant for three months. Why didn’t you tell me? If | had known, | would’ve taken you to the hospital right after you fell into the water.”
Hearing the doctor’s diagnosis that she was three months pregnant left him puzzled and concerned. He should have noticed the signs earlier. Looking back at their brief collaboration, he recalled her always wearing flat shoes, and loose-fitting clothes, avoiding alcohol, and not eating foods restricted during pregnancy.
Ariana felt both embarrassed and guilty as she saw the young man’s shock. “I’m sorry. | should’ve told you I’m married.”
“Who is he?” Tyler asked flatly. “Why haven't | seen him picking you up, especially since you’re pregnant?”
Ariana was at a loss for words, so she awkwardly tugged at the blanket and replied, “He’s not someone you know. He’s always caught up with work, so he can’t come to get me.”
She wasn’t sure whether Tyler believed her or not, but her pregnancy was a fact that couldn’t be denied. Ariana still pondered how to ask Tyler to help her keep her pregnancy a secret from others when Tyler mentioned a name in an unusual tone. “Theodore Anderson. Is he your husband?”
Ariana was stunned. How did Tyler know that? She had never mentioned Theodore’s name to him, and she hadn’t had any contact with him at work.
Ariana’s eyes gave away Tyler’s guess, and he had already sensed that their relationship was not ordinary. The first time Tyler called Ariana, it was Theodore who picked up the phone. Despite the distance, Tyler could hear Theodore’s unfriendly tone.
The second time, on the day they signed the contract, Theodore’s hostility toward Tyler and his possessive attitude toward Ariana were apparent.
As aman, Tyler could understand what Theodore was thinking.
