Chapter 186
Olivia felt uneasy hearing what the doctor said. Despite her
discomfort, she complied when he asked to see her tongue. After a
moment of hesitation, she slowly extended her tongue, feeling
awkward and
self-conscious.
Examining her tongue, the doctor remarked, âHer stomach should be
fine.â
Quickly closing her mouth, Olivia sat in silence, feeling awkward and
embarrassed at sticking out her
tongue.
The doctor proceeded to check other parts of her body before
requesting, âGive me your hand. I'll check your pulse.â
Handing her hand over, Olivia allowed the doctor to check her pulse.
After a moment of silence, he asked, âHow old are you?â
âTwentyâtwo.â
Tyler stood next to the doctor, watching as the doctor checked
Olivia's pulse, his expression serious.
The doctor nodded thoughtfully and inquired, âWhen was your last
menstrual period?â
Olivia hesitated. Her stomach wasn't feeling well, so why did the
doctor ask that?
âl-It's been over a month since I got it.â

As he removed his hand, the doctor fell silent, leaving.Olivia and Tyler
waiting anxiously. Breaking the silence, the doctor declared firmly,
âYou're pregnant.â
Both Tyler and Olivia were stunned by the revelation. Olivia couldnât
believe it; she stared at the
doctor in disbelief.

âI-It canât be... How is that possible?â Olivia protested instinctively.
Undeterred by her denial, the doctor reiterated, âYou're pregnant.
When was the last time you two
had intercourse?â
Speechless, Olivia struggled to recall their last intimate encounter. Her
mind was a blur, and she wasn't ready to process this news.
Tyler answered the doctor, âWe do it every now and then.â
Confirming his suspicion, the doctor continued, âThe baby is almost a
month old.â
Olivia felt like the ground was slipping from beneath her. She couldn't
comprehend how she could be pregnant when conceiving naturally
seemed impossible.
Tyler fell into a momentary silence. Meanwhile, the maid stood there,
completely oblivious to the context of their conversation.
Olivia felt as if there was thunder roaring in her ears, overwhelmed by
the sudden prospect of

pregnancy. She was entirely unprepared for and did not anticipate this
possibility.
âI'll take her to the hospital for a check-up,â Tyler said flatly.
âIt's best to do that. Her morning sickness seems to come early, and it's
quite serious,â the doctor advised.
âHmm, sure. Thank you,â Tyler said to the doctor in all seriousness.
The doctor left without further comment or prescribing any medication,
and Tyler had the maid escort him out.
A heavy silence filled the room once they were alone.
Olivia felt weakness in her arms and legs, unable to say a single word
for what felt like an eternity,
Tyler sat by the bed, silently observing her for a long stretch before
suggesting, âLet's get a confirmation at the hospital.â
She didnât respond to him.

Of course, Tyler understood that the idea of a child stirred nothing but
fear in her. To Olivia, at her age, the concept of motherhood was alien
and distant.
He gently patted her head and stroked her hair. âDonât be scared. We'll
just see if it's true, okay?â Finally, Olivia looked at him, her voice filled
with confusion, âHow did I suddenly get pregnant?â
