âWhat? Sheâs pregnant?â
âYes, sheâs been pregnant for six weeks,â the doctor confirmed.
Brian stood rooted, deep in thought.
Eleanor was six weeks pregnant.
It was his child.
He was going to be a father.
But the mother of his child wasnât the woman he loved.
Images of Rosalynn flooded his mind.
Brian closed his eyes, seized by an unforeseen panic.
If Eleanorâs child truly was his, what would transpire between him and Rosalynn?
Given Rosalynnâs character, sheâd likely end things with him.
He couldnât allow that!
Resolving himself, Brian entered the ward.
Inside the ward, Moira was assisting Eleanor to sit up.
Upon seeing Brian, Eleanor asked in a sweet voice, âMr.
Hughes, whatâs the matter with me?â
Brian glanced at her and asked Moira to Leave the room.
Once Moira had exited the ward, he announced, âEleanor, you are pregnant.
â
The truth was out.
Eleanorâs heart raced, feigning surprise and elation.
âIâm pregnant?
This baby is yours!â
