Chapter 430

Aaron pretended to be embarrassed. “Why me? I’m still a virgin. It’ll be so awkward for me to buy that

kind of thing!”

Both Xante and Corinne were speechless.

Aaron was only trying to be funny to liven up the atmosphere but it did not work as both Xante and

Corinne were looking at him with disgust and with their mouths in a tight line.

He immediately dropped the act and shrugged. “Okay, okay. I’ll go get the pregnancy test. Huh! I can’t

believe that 1, the owner of the Newmoon Group, am being ordered around like a little scullery maid.

Sigh! What has become of my life!”

Xante gave him a side-eye and said nothing else as Aaron continued with his blabbering. She then

started the car engine and drove to the nearest drugstore. While driving, she kept looking up at the

rearview mirror to check on Corinne.

‘She doesn’t look too well after all that retching she did moments ago,’ thought Xante with at worried

frown on her face.

Corinne was indeed not well. Recently, she burned candles at both ends in coming up with a design for

Holden Group’s new building. She did not rest much even though she spent most of her days cooped

up at home. Moreover, she seemed to feel tired easily to the point she suspected she might be

suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome.

Aaron pointed to a drugstore outside the window and said, “Xante, we just passed by a drugstore. Why

didn’t you stop the car?”

The more Xante thought about it, the more worried she became. “I think it’s best if I bring the boss to

the hospital for a checkup,” she said solemnly.

“Did you forget that the boss hates going to the hospital?” asked Aaron quizzically.

“She’ll only need to do a blood test and that won’t take long,” insisted Xante. She looked at Corinne

from the rearview mirror and said, “Boss, you should go to the hospital. You don’t look that well. You

should do a check-up even if you don’t think you’re pregnant. Besides, what if it’s an ectopic

pregnancy? It’ll be easier to treat if it’s detected earlier.”

The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched uncontrollably. ‘I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant and yet here she

is worrying that it might be an ectopic pregnancy? Indeed my period hasn’t come for two months

straight.”

Corinne was not sure whether her period schedule was messed up from stress or if she got pregnant

that night. In the end, she gave in to Xante’s and Aaron’s nagging and agreed to do a blood test at the

hospital.

In the hospital’s OB-GYN department.

The OB-GYN specialist looked down at the blood test result and said solemnly, ” Congratulations,

You’re seven weeks pregnant and the fetus is developing very well.”

Corinne was stunned at the discovery. She subconsciously touched her belly and thought, ‘I’m seven

weeks pregnant?’

Xante stayed calm at the news, but Aaron was tearing up excitedly. His emotions were all over the

place as he said, “My god! I’m going to be-”

The OB-GYN specialist immediately gave him a fierce look. “Can the dad please be quiet? This is a

hospital after all. You must not disturb the other patients.”

Aaron laughed and quickly explained, “Doctor, you’re mistaken. I’m not the father. I was going to be an

uncle!”

The doctor frowned and said, “Why are you so excited if you’re not the father? Where’s the father

anyway?”

At the mention of the baby’s father, Corinne blushed. “He’s on an overseas business trip and doesn’t

know about this yet.”

The OB-GYN specialist sighed and said pointedly, “I’ll let it slide this time but he must accompany you

on all future visits. Men! How can they leave all the birthing to the women? No matter how busy they

are with work, they should still accompany their wives to the hospital for a check-up!”

Corinne nodded. “Yes, you’re right, doctor. Thank you for your advice.”
