“You’d better get yourself checked. Maybe it’s not what we think,”
said Grace.
Lina said, “I know. But… if it’s true, then… what should I do?”
“Is it really impossible for you to be with Hadwin Stephenson?”
asked Grace.
Lina sighed. “If I wanted to be with him, I wouldn’t have rejected him.”
Grace was also aware of her best friend’s concerns. Besides, she was in no position to meddle in other people’s relationships.
Grace said, “Lina, I’m on your side no matter what decision you make. If you want the baby, then I’ll be their godmother and help you raise the baby. If you… don’t want the baby, I’ll accompany you to the surgery!”
As the mother of three children, Grace understood what it was like to be a mother. The baby in the womb was something a mother could not bear to abandon.
Besides, Hadwin Stephenson was once the man Lina loved!
However… Even if Lina did intend to abort the baby, she would accompany her as long as Lina had thought it through and was not impulsive when making the decision. No matter what Lina had to face, she would face it together with her.
Lina looked a little blankly at her best friend, her eyes watering a little. “Grace, thank you!”
After coming out of Grace’s ward, Lina went straight to the hospital’s gynecology department to do a blood test.
The blood test report would not come out until an hour later, and during that hour, Lina felt as if a lifetime had pa**ed.
She felt nervous, uneasy, and at a loss… She did not know what she would do if it turned out to be the last thing she wanted.
She had never been one to hesitate, but she was now hesitating.
When Lina saw the data on her blood test report an hour later, her heart instantly sank. She had looked it up on Stephensondu before and knew that this data meant… she was pregnant!
She… was indeed pregnant! She was pregnant with Hadwin Stephenson’s baby!
Lina went to the consulting room with a blank expression and gave the report to the doctor. After some questioning, Lina learned that she was probably four weeks pregnant now.
“You’re in the first trimester now. Come back every other day for a blood test. If your hCG levels are doubling, then you’re fine,” the doctor said.
Lina was dumbfounded. “What if they don’t double?”
“Then you may need to take injections or drugs to save the baby, depending on the situation,” the doctor said.
For a moment, Lina did not know whether she wanted her hCG
levels to double or not.
When Lina got her blood test report again two days later, the –
doctor said to her with a smile, “Your hCG levels have doubled. The baby is doing well in your belly…”
Lina suddenly felt relieved when she heard the doctor say this.
It was then she realized that she subconsciously wanted the child to be okay.
After coming out of the hospital, Lina unknowingly drove to Stephenson Group’s office building in Emerald City.
When she came to her senses, she realized that another car was in front of her. The car was trying to leave, but she was parked right next to the exit of the underground parking lot.
Lina hurried to back up the car, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of the figure sitting in the back seat. Her hands instantly trembled, and instead of backing up, her car grazed the other party’s.
Luckily, she slammed on the brakes in time, or she might have crashed into the car.
Lina broke out in a cold sweat. Her hand rested almost automatically on her belly as if to… protect the baby inside.
She realized her own actions and was somewhat astonished. ‘Is it because… I don’t want anything to happen to the baby? Do I want the baby to live?’
Just then, the driver got out and walked up to Lina’s car, knocking on the window.
Lina hurriedly opened the door. After a glance, she recognized the driver. The other day when Hadwin Stephenson pulled her into the car after she was surrounded by reporters, the one driving seemed to be this driver.
“Miss Sweeney, your car grazed Mr. Stephenson’s car,” the driver respectfully said to Lina.
“Ah, yes… Well… why don’t we get the traffic police to come? I’ll take full responsibility for the accident,” Lina said quickly.
“Miss Sweeney, if you want to take full responsibility, you need to compensate for the damage. I wonder if your insurance is enough to pay for the car’s damages?” the driver said.
“What’s the matter? Is it… expensive?” asked Lina. Although Hadwin Stephenson’s cars were expensive luxury cars, her car insurance went up to 500,000 dollars. It was probably enough to pay for a scratch.
What the driver said next almost made Lina faint.
What the driver said was… “Miss Sweeney, we haven’t a**essed the car’s damages, but it’s probably going to cost more than one million dollars, Miss Sweeney, Is your insured amount enough to pay for it?”
“One million dollars?” Lina almost fainted. “Is Hadwin Stephenson’s car made from diamonds? One million dollars for a scratch?” Besides, it was just a minor scratch.
“The paint on this car is made from special materials. It’s a new type of paint that Stephenson Group has been researching in the last few years. There are very few in production, so it’s precious.
Besides, the entire car needs to be repainted after getting scratched, hence the higher cost,” the driver answered promptly.
Line felt like she was being conned. ‘Special materials that were being developed by Stephenson Group. In other words, how much it costs is up to Hadwin Stephenson!”
“Miss Sweeney if you want to settle this formally, you can call the police now” the driver said.
The problem was there was no way she could compensate that Power ze sted this using the formal procedures! Asces de noce have to spend more after she gave birth. If Dat was the cas…

“Miss Sweeney, Miss Sheeney. The der’s ce vas sill Losars We came the sess “Miss Sweeney, if you want to settle this privately, you can talk to Mr. Stephenson,” the driver said.
Lina looked at the back seat of the car where Hadwin Stephenson was. She bit her lip and got out of the car with a grimace. She walked up to Hadwin Stephenson’s car, gently tapping on the window.
The car window rolled down, and Hadwin Stephenson was sitting in the back seat. He gave a small smile at Lina and said, “I thought you didn’t want to see me, but it seems that you do. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have parked here and zoned out, right?”
“No. I was just distracted and…”
She suddenly stopped halfway through her words when she saw his face darkening. Lina thought of how her car had grazed his car, so she swallowed the rest of her words and said weakly, “Well… why don’t we talk about compensation first? I’m only insured for 500,000 dollars. Can you…”
“No,” he said right away.
“…” She instantly felt like she had been met with a sharp rebuff. ‘Come on. Not long ago, this man talked about how he loves me and can’t get over me. But now, he won’t even give me a bargain.”
“Do you think just because I love you, I should let you have your way and turn a blind eye to this problem?” Hadwin Stephenson asked right away as if he had seen through Lina’s mind.
She looked embarra**ed. “Uh, I’m not asking you to turn a blind eye. It’s just that… I hope you’ll accept 500,000 dollars as compensation as that’s the limit for my insurance coverage.”
“If you want to report this to the traffic police and settle this formally, you’ll have to pay whatever amount you owe. If you want to settle this privately…”
Her eyes lit up. “What about it?”
