Chapter 495: Chapter 495: So You Knew It All Along (5)

Ruby Gregory used all five pregnancy test kits at once, then stared at them anxiously. About five minutes later, the results appeared:

The first one, two lines; the second one, two lines; the third one, two lines; the fourth one, two lines; the fifth one, one line…

While Ruby was still dazed from staring at the red lines on the pregnancy test kits, the last one also turned into two red lines right before her eyes.

It’s said that pregnancy test kits have a certain failure rate, so she bought five at once for testing. All five results were consistent, and the unequivocal 100% test results forced Ruby to believe that the premonition she had in the morning was real.

She was really pregnant.

When she first suspected it, she wasn’t that shocked, but when the actual results came out, it felt like a bolt from the blue. She couldn’t tell if she was frightened or anxious. Holding the five test kits, she absentmindedly threw them into the trash, stood up, and walked out of the bathroom.

Ruby washed her face and stood at the bathroom sink for a while, trying to calm herself down.

Recalling her two consecutive menstrual cycles, a deep worry emerged in her heart. Instead of going directly to her father’s ward on the upper floor, she headed to the obstetrics and gynecology department and took a number.

The hospital was crowded in the morning, and it took Ruby about two hours to see an obstetrician and gynecologist.

After listening to her explanation, the doctor ordered a blood test and a B-Scan Ultrasonography.

Ruby hadn’t eaten breakfast and was now feeling hungry. If she hadn’t known she was pregnant, she might have held out until later. Now, she seized the opportunity to visit the porridge shop outside the hospital and ordered something to eat.

Ruby ordered a bowl of hawthorn tea, a small plate of pickled capers, and two pickled vegetable buns. It occurred to her that everything she ate was sour, and she chuckled at herself.

No wonder people say pregnant women like sour food; it’s really true!

Ruby glanced at the time. She still had 40 minutes before her blood test results would be available, so she ordered a glass of sour plum juice and lazily sat in her seat, gazing at the pedestrians outside through the bright window.

Many thoughts went through her mind, such as her upcoming pregnancy confirmation, her blood test results, and whether Steve Burton would be happy, excited, or relieved when he found out. Would it help improve their current terrible situation?

In the past, she’d wanted a child to secure her status as Mrs. Burton and to stay away from Steve, living her life with her child. Now that she actually had a child on the way, what she really thought about was how she, Steve, and their child would spend their future together.

As Ruby pondered this, she suddenly remembered the previous night’s events in Steve’s apartment. She couldn’t help but shake her head and take a big sip of sour plum juice, feeling inexplicably overwhelmed by the presence of someone in her thoughts. So frustrating!
