Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 130 Prenatal Test

“What’s wrong? Can’t you afford the plane ticket? Shall I reimburse you instead?” Layla then scoffed. “You’re a

man. Do you want Yuliana to please you?” She paused and said in a softer tone, “I don’t know what happened

between you and Yuliana, Christopher, but she is pregnant! You can’t leave her alone like this. Do think about

Layla hung up the phone.

When Yuliana got home, she carefully thought about Layla’s advice.

She knew very well before they went to get a marriage certificate that there would be issues in her marriage with

Christopher. She was, however, blinded by the peaceful and heartwarming time they had spent together. She

thought she and Christopher were just like any other married couple.

She forgot that those problems would not go away because they had gotten the marriage certificate. At least, for

now, she knew that there were a lot of problems between her and Christopher.

They were aware of some of the issues, but others were unknown to them. If she and Christopher were able to

overcome them, their marriage would be in a better place. However, if they were unable to do so, their marriage

would undoubtedly end. As per what Layla had said, they must deal with the problems together. Thinking back,

Yuliana couldn’t deny that she had dealt with the situation wrongly. After all, Christopher would mind Harry, just like

she minded Annabelle.

Perhaps, what she and Christopher minded were different, but the things that bothered them were the same.

Yuliana wanted to call Christopher to reconcile with him and explain herself that night. However, when she saw the

photos sent by Lexie, she became displeased. She was so annoyed that she didn’t want to see him, -fet alone

explain why she had acted in such a manner.

Thinking back, Yuliana couldn’t help but wonder if she had misunderstood the relationship between Annabelle and

Christopher, just like how he had misunderstood her and Harry.

Yuliana curled up on the couch and thought everything through.

She then glanced at the phone on the coffee table.

Even though she told herself she must take the initiative, Yuliana didn’t do it as the happenings that night had

affected her emotionally until this day.

The next morning. Yuliana went to the hospital for a prenatal test.

There were a lot of people in the hospital anytime and anywhere, and there were more people during the

weekends.

After registering at the counter, Yuliana waited for half an hour to see the doctor. After the doctor had asked her a

few questions, the former issued several examination sheets and asked her to pay for the examinations.

Yuliana paid the examination fee through her phone and went to have a blood test.

It took her about ten minutes to wait in the queue and complete the blood test. It was relatively fast.

She then went to the ultrasound department waiting area.

There were a lot of people waiting to do the ultrasound as well. When Yuliana went there to queue up, there were

already hundreds of patients before her.

She found a chair to sit on and waited quietly.

There were a lot of pregnant women who had come for prenatal tests, ultrasounds, and other tests around her.

Almost all of them had someone by their side to accompany them.

Some of them were accompanied by their husbands, some were by their wives, some were by their elders, and

some were by their children.

It seemed that she was the only one who came alone.

Yuliana didn’t mind coming to do the prenatal test alone, but when she saw the people around her, she couldn’t

help but feel lonely.

She instantly felt down.

Upon noticing the changes in her emotions, Yuliana slowly took a deep breath and tried to banish those negative

emotions.

Yuliana did not enjoy being upset, and she approached situations rationally. As a result, she convinced. herself that

she was in good health and didn’t need anyone to accompany her to the prenatal test.

Yuliana took out her phone and clicked on Candy Crush, which she hadn’t played for a long time, to kill time.

It was a brainless game, but it could make people forget some bad things for the time being. It was relaxing,

too.

After ten o’clock, there were still dozens of people ahead of her. Yuliana was not sure if she could finish the

examination before lunch.

Because she had to have an empty stomach for a blood test, she didn’t eat anything in the morning. After drawing

blood, she ate a small piece of chocolate. Although she wouldn’t have hypoglycemia, she was hungry and wanted

to eat something.

When Yuliana hesitated about leaving the waiting area and heading to the nearby convenience store to buy

something to eat, her phone vibrated.

After coming to the hospital, she switched her phone to vibration mode.

Yuliana froze when she saw the caller ID. She kept debating if she should answer it.

However, when Layla’s advice from the night before rang in her ears, she decided to answer it.

After answering the phone, Yuliana placed her phone to her ear and said nothing.

Christopher also remained silent for two seconds before asking, “Are you not home?”

Yuliana hummed lightly.

Silence then filled the conversation again.

After a moment, Christopher asked, “When will you come back?” After a pause, he added, “I don’t have a key.”

Yuliana looked at the ultrasound department’s screen, which displayed each patient’s turn, and said, “I’m not sure,

but I won’t be returning anytime soon. You should go back to your place first.”

“My place?” There was a hint of mockery in Christopher’s voice when he said that. It was apparent that he wasn’t

happy with Yuliana’s words.

Yuliana didn’t speak.

Christopher paused for a while. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard an announcement coming from

the receiver.

“Madie Lee – number seventy-seven – please go to room ten at the ultrasound department for a checkup.”

The broadcast was repeated three times.

Christopher immediately exclaimed, “Are you in the hospital?”

Yuliana wanted to answer him, but she couldn’t make a sound for a long time. It was as if something had blocked

her throat.

“Yuliana, talk to me!” Christopher couldn’t help but be anxious.

Yuliana breathed out lightly and said, “I’m fine. There’s no need to be anxious. I’m at the hospital for a prenatal

test.”

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Then, the man softened his voice and said, “Send

me your location.”

Without giving Yuliana any chance to reject his request, he hung up.

Yuliana looked at the phone screen, which was dimmed for a while. She then opened WhatsApp and sent her

location to him with the message: [I’m in the ultrasound department.]

After that, Yuliana’s mind went elsewhere. She kept staring at the people coming and going in a daze.

The hospital was not far from Maple Garden, and it only took about ten minutes for one to arrive there by

taxi.

Hence, Christopher arrived rather quickly.

There were many people in the uitrasound department. The chairs were full, and plenty of people had to

stand while waiting for their turns. The reception desk was crowded, too.

He rushed to the ultrasound department and spotted Yuliana at a glance.

She had tied her hair into a topknot and was wearing a gray hoodie and a coat. While sitting in the crowd, the

skinny and petite woman with snow-white skin was staring in one direction in a daze.

Christopher didn’t immediately walk toward her. He stood there and scrutinized the people around her for a while.

There were also several women sitting around her. They were all pregnant, but there was a difference between her

and them. The others had someone by their sides. They had someone to talk to, someone handing them water,

carrying their things, and helping them with everything.

Yuliana was the only one who sat there by herself. She looked out of place with the atmosphere around her. Yuliana

was pulled back to reality by another announcement. It was patient number 90’s turn for a checkup. Then, as if she

suddenly remembered something. Yuliana subconsciously looked at the entrance of the ultrasound department,

and something caught her eye.

After staring at each other from a distance for a while, Christopher walked toward her.

Yuliana sat in the last row of the waiting area, and the distance between the seats was not spacious, especially for a

tall and long-legged person like Christopher.

He walked along the aisle between the chairs to Yuliana, who lowered her eyes and pursed her lips without saying

anything.

Christopher stared at her face for a while, and finally, his gaze fell on her peeled lips. He asked, “Can’t you drink

water during a prenatal test?”

Yuliana didn’t expect such a question from him. After a moment of pause, she answered, “I must have an empty

stomach for the blood test.”

“Empty stomach? That means she can’t eat breakfast, too. It’s almost eleven o’clock now,” thought Christopher.

Christopher frowned. “Are you done with your blood test?”
