"D-Doctor, you... you said I'm pregnant!?" Bella asked, needing confirmation that she hadn't misheard. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The Doctor's frown deepened as he noticed how pale and frightened Bella looked.
'Why does she look scared?' The Doctor muttered, glancing at the diamond ring wrapped around her finger. 'She is a married woman. She should be happy with her pregnancy, right?'
"Yes, Ma'am... You are pregnant," he confirmed again, attempting to hide his suspicion that this woman might not want this pregnancy.
He continued, "I already asked the nurse to schedule you to meet a gynecologist tomorrow morning. You need to consult with the gynecologist immediately, Ms. Donovan. I'm worried your emotional condition now will impact your pregnancy."
This was the only advice he could offer. He didn't want to see this young woman resort to having an abortion, a situation he had unfortunately witnessed too often.
...
Bella was too shocked to pay attention to the Doctor's words. When he finally left, she could only nod and thank him.
Only a nurse remained with her, but she didn't say anything as she was lost in her own thoughts about the sudden news of her pregnancy.
In recent years, she has tried various methods to get pregnant. However, all her attempts had failed; even a few months ago, she underwent her third IVF* (In vitro fertilization), but with the same disappointing results.
Yet, the Doctor had just confirmed she was pregnant. How could she get pregnant naturally? It was difficult for her to believe. It seemed like a miracle.
"Do you still want to leave the hospital tonight, Ms. Donovan? I'll help you with the paperwork..." the nurse asked, breaking Bella's deep thoughts.
Bella shook her head in response to the nurse. Her plans had changed upon learning about her pregnancy. She needed to stay in this hospital and think about her next plan.
"Nurse, can I move to a private room? I have to stay here tonight. Also, please arrange for me to see a gynecologist tomorrow morning..."
"Sure, ma'am. I will arrange it for you," the nurse answered.
"Do you need my ID card or something to register?" Bella asked while trying to find her bag. She couldn't spot her belongings; even now, she was wearing a hospital patient gown — light blue pajamas.
"No need, ma'am. Your administration is already completed. But I need to check if a patient room is still available..." The nurse paused, gazing at Bella silently while thinking about something. After a few more seconds, she asked, "Ma'am, would you prefer a VIP or shared room?"
"The best room in this hospital doesn't matter. Money is no problem for me," Bella replied with a smile.
Bella noticed the nurse seemed concerned, as if worried she couldn't afford the VIP ward.
"Yes, ma'am," the nurse nodded and excused herself. However, she stopped when Bella called her.
"Nurse, have you seen my bag?"
"When you arrived here, all your things were soaked, ma'am. We try to dry it for you; I'll bring it to you immediately..." The nurse explained.
"Thank you, Nurse..."
