None of them reacted at first.
The nurse handed over the test results. "Ms. Summer, you're about two months along. Congratulations, you're going to be a mom."
Charlotte's head snapped up. There was a time she used to picture this moment, where she and Sean were with a home full of laughter and children.
However, Sean had always said he wanted to focus on his career before thinking about marriage or kids. So, she had taken her pills carefully, never wanting to get in the way of his future.
Yet now, after all those years of caution, fate decided to play its cruelest joke just when she had finally made up her mind to leave.
Before Charlotte could process it, Kylie suddenly screamed, covered her face, and ran out of the ward in tears. "That's impossible!"
Sean chased after her without a word.
The nurse was left standing there, and she gave Charlotte a helpless, pitying look.
Charlotte didn't know what to say anymore. The timing couldn't have been worse. Ending the pregnancy was clearly the most practical choice for everyone.
However, she hesitated. Her hand rested gently on her stomach, tears blurring her vision.
Growing up in an orphanage, she had always longed for a family. Now, this tiny life inside her felt like a dream she had waited her whole life for.
Her phone buzzed, breaking the silence. It was a voice message from Tristan, with a video attached. His voice was awkward, uneasy. "I didn't mean to record this. The woman was crying too loudly, and it's about you. I just thought you should know the truth."
