Since the doctor had already handed her a slip, Sophia swallowed her superfluous question. With the slip in hand,
she went to the blood test room. It was almost noon, so only a few people were left, and she had her blood taken
right away. Looking at the receipt, she then saw that the results would be out in the afternoon itself.
She wasn’t quite certain how she left the hospital, and at such a time, she wasn’t in the mood to go to the shop
either. As she walked, she stopped intermittently before finally calling it a day at a bus stop. Plopping down onto the
bench there, she stared ahead at the cars coming and going.
It’ll be too much if I’m truly pregnant. It was a safe period for me back then, and even if I’m pregnant, it won’t be
apparent so quickly, no? From what I see on the television, the symptoms will only appear a little after a month. She
pulled at her hair.
It’s probably my overactive imagination. I never took any steps to prevent pregnancy before the divorce, yet I
never got pregnant. At one point, I even suspected whether I was barren. Thus, how could I possibly be when it was
my safe period then? This is just maddening!
Sophia sat there until noon when a call came in from John. Through the line, he said he was at her shop before
bombarding her with questions—why she didn’t go to the shop; where she was; whether she was still having gastric
problems.
At his barrage of questions, she didn’t quite know which to answer. Sighing, she then massaged her temples. “I’m
outside, but there’s no taxi now.”
At this, John promptly asked, “Where are you? I’ll come and drive you.” Sophia then told him her location, upon

Putting her cell phone away, Sophia then stroked her stomach, her head feeling heavy.
Meanwhile, over at the shop, John bid Robin farewell and made to leave after ending his call with Sophia. Robin
hurried over to him. “Are you going to look for Sophia?”
John grunted in affirmation. “She’s outside, so I’m going to drive her.”
Upon hearing this, Robin pursed her lips. “Sophia has a boyfriend now, so won’t it be inappropriate if you were to
drive her?”
John was startled. “Are you referring to Ian Morgan?”
Robin quickly nodded. “Ian has even made a public display of affection toward Sophia during his show. Thus, Sophia
will be caught in a difficult position if you do this, and it’ll also affect her relationship with Ian.”
“Ian Morgan?” John snorted. “You’re the only one who believes his delusions.”
All at once, bewilderment swamped Robin. “What do you mean?” Without further explanation, John strode to his car
and drove away.
Robin was left standing at the door, staring in the direction where he’d gone until he disappeared from sight. Her
expression was slightly dejected, her exuberance when he came over earlier all but gone at this moment.
John, on the other hand, paid no heed to Robin’s words, driving straight to the location Sophia gave him. When he
arrived, he saw Sophia sitting on the bench at the bus stop, looking very much drowsy since she had her head
tilted, still as a statue herself. Stopping the car, he then walked over to her.
Sophia didn’t notice his presence at all, so he went over and stood before her. Still, her head remained lowered, her
hair falling to the front. Gazing at her for a while, his heart softened. Her petite and lean stature really tugs at my
heartstrings. “Sophia,” he called out.
Sophia slowly raised her head. “You’re here, John?” She seemed really sleepy, and she even lifted a hand to slap
herself on the forehead. “Let’s go.”
Sighing in exasperation, John reached out and helped her to her feet, supporting her all the way to the car. Even
after they’d gotten into the car, he was still worried. “Are you not feeling well? How about I drive you to the hospital
for a checkup?”
Sophia reclined against her seat. “I’ve been to the hospital. The doctor said that my blood pressure and blood sugar
levels are too low, but I’m fine otherwise.”
