Emma was relieved. Even if she was to retreat from the industry for a while to have a child, she wouldn’t need to worry about Herman.
But, was it really that easy to have a child?
By the time Emma returned home, the sun had just set, so Eric was still at work.
Emma stood in the living room and scanned the home that they had created together. As she thought about the life they had shared for the past year, her heart filled with sweetness.
Tomorrow was their wedding anniversary. In the past year, she had been through many ups and downs, and pulled through many storms. The only thing that kept her happy, was the fact that Eric was still by her side.
As she looked at the time, she noticed it was still early. Initially, she wanted to prepare a delicious dinner for Eric, but then, she suddenly received a phone call from Lisa.
Emma thought Lisa called to congratulate her on her wedding anniversary. But, when she picked up, all she heard was Lisa’s anxious voice, “Emma are you on set? I’ll come look for you right now.”
“I’m at home, what’s wrong?” Emma felt her entire body tense up because of Lisa’s tone.
“I don’t know who to turn to. I can only talk to you…”
“Tell me, what’s wrong?” Emma could tell that Lisa was crying. But, logically speaking, Luke couldn’t have possibly bullied her.
“I am in the obstetrics and gynecology unit of New York hospital.”
Emma froze. Lisa had been trying to get pregnant for a while, but had not had any luck. Was it possible that there was something wrong with her body? Emma did not think any further into it. She simply comforted Lisa, “Don’t panic. Send me the address and I’ll come straight away.”
“Don’t tell Luke,” Lisa said in bet**en sobs before she sent her location to Emma.
In order not to be recognized, Emma put on a light disguise and started driving to the hospital. 40 minutes later, she entered the hospital frantically as she tried to look for Lisa. Finally, she spotted her sitting in Clinic 2.
“What happened?”
Lisa’s eyes were red and swollen as she leaned over and whispered in Emma’s ear. Emma was stunned for a moment, but quickly tried to comfort her, “You’ll be fine. Follow the doctor’s instructions.”
It turned out, she had been bleeding abnormally and the doctor suspected that she was pregnant, but had a miscarriage. Lisa was terrified, so she immediately gave Emma a phone call.
“Why didn’t you call Luke?”
“He has been very stressed at work lately. I don’t want him to feel disappointed,” Lisa sighed. Her gaze was filled with guilt and anger, “How could I be so careless? We tried for so long to have a child…”
“Don’t scare yourself,” Emma comforted as she hugged her. “Let’s do the examination first.”
“I’m not brave enough,” Lisa was afraid. She was afraid that the results would be exactly what the doctor predicted; that she had been pregnant, but unfortunately had a miscarriage.
If that was the case, how was she to accept it?
“I’m really scared…I really want to give Luke a child.”
“How about we do the exam together, then?” Emma thought of a way to encourage Lisa. “The doctor is only guessing at the moment. You still need to go through a thorough examination. Since I was supposed to do an exam tomorrow anyway, I might as well do it with you right now.”
“Plus, what if you are actually pregnant and did not have a miscarriage. If you don’t get a proper check up, have you thought about the consequences?”
After hearing Emma’s words, Lisa was convinced, so she finally nodded her head, “Let’s do it together then…”
“Yes, I’ll do it with you.”
Emma asked the doctor to immediately prepare, but because there were too many people waiting to be examined, the doctor first arranged for them to do a hCG blood test just in case the ultrasound wasn’t clear.
The hospital was very thoughtful. Because of Emma’s identity, they tried their best to maintain confidentiality as they did the test her.
“Miss Miller, you can get your results in roughly 6 hours. Will you be waiting in the hospital for it?” the doctor asked.
“I’ll first accompany my friend for an ultrasound.”
“OK, we will organize your ultrasounds as soon as possible.” After speaking, the doctor turned to leave, but Emma suddenly held him back and said in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry about doing the ultrasound for me.” After all, they did not have proper confidentiality procedures in place, if anyone snapped a photo of her, she would end up on the headlines again. She had merely agreed to a blood test to convince Lisa, but there was no need for her to do an ultrasound as well.
“OK,” the doctor nodded and turned to leave.
Emma accompanied Lisa in the doctor’s office as she tried to calm her nerves. A moment later, she received a phone call from Eric asking if she was still on set.
Emma looked at Lisa and saw her shaking her head, so she replied, “I haven’t seen Lisa in a long time, so we’re just catching up. I’ll be home later tonight.”
“In that case, do you want me to cook dinner and wait for you?”
“It’s fine, Eric. You eat dinner first and get some rest.”
Eric did not ask any further. He simply reminded her to stay safe and not to stay out too late.
After hanging up the phone, Emma continued to keep Lisa company at the hospital. A little while later, the doctor notified Lisa that she could begin her ultrasound.
Lisa gripped onto Emma’s hand nervously, so Emma had no choice but to enter the room with her. At first, the doctor furrowed his brows at what he saw. He then explained, “You aren’t pregnant. I think it’s just your period. There’s nothing to worry about.”
After hearing her results, Lisa was disappointed at first, but then she quickly comforted herself: at least she did not have a miscarriage…Things could have been worse.
“What about my body…”
“Your body is fine, there is nothing wrong with your health. Don’t scare yourself,” the doctor smiled as he put down the equipment in his hands. “Pregnancy sometimes depends on fate. Don’t force yourself too much, it will make it harder for you to fall pregnant.”
Emma helped Lisa out of bed and helped her change her clothes, “Do you feel better now?”
Lisa contemplated for a while and finally let out a sigh of relief. At least there was nothing wrong with her body. However, she still felt her knees were weak and body cold.
Not long after, the two women left the hospital. Emma looked at Lisa and asked, “Why do you always keep this stuff to yourself and not tell Luke?”
“Can’t you trust him?”
“It’s not to do with trust…It’s because I care about him too much and am afraid he would be disappointed.”
Emma looked at Lisa and wondered when Lisa started devaluing herself in the marriage. After all, Luke was also putting in a lot of effort.
“From now on, if you have issues like this again, it’s either you tell him or I’ll tell him – your choice,” Emma said firmly. “Stop assuming things and making it difficult for Luke.”
