To the Love of My Life-Chapter 496 - : So You Knew It All Along (6)

Chapter 496: Chapter 496: So You Knew It All Along (6)

Suddenly, Ruby Gregory’s action of drinking the sour plum juice came to an abrupt halt, and her expression gradually became rigid.

Last night, she seemed to have understood something, but she was afraid and didn’t dare to delve deeper. Now, however, this thought had unexpectedly emerged in her mind without any warning, making it impossible for her to escape it.

Before, Steve Burton had also lived in her heart. She clearly remembered his likes and dislikes and made his happiness and dislikes her own. She cared for him, but her concern was to make him happy, and even back then, when she saw him with other women, her heart was calm, thinking it was no big deal as long as he married her in the end.

Yet, she didn’t know when her thoughts had changed so drastically. She began to desire that Steve would care about her happiness and sadness. When she cared for him, it was no longer about whether he would like her more and find her more suitable as his wife, but a pure concern for him. Even when she heard about him being with other women, she felt restless and had an urge to pull him back.

Moreover, the worst part was…she didn’t know when the dream of marrying Steve, imposed on her by the Gregorys, had turned into her own willing dream.

That was why she had unhesitatingly defended Pristine’s Enterprises the day Gregory’s Enterprises got into trouble and even thought about repaying the money to him…

Thinking about it, Ruby felt even more exasperated. She couldn’t understand why the man was so angry with her when she was merely trying to do what was best for him.

Ruby shook her head, discarding those messy thoughts, finished the sour plum juice, checked the time, paid the bill, and returned to the hospital.

Ruby went to the obstetrics and gynecology department, waited about ten minutes, got her test results, then went back and found the doctor.

The doctor took her test results, looked at them for a moment, and then said, “You’re pregnant, less than 40 days.”

“I’ve had some spotting recently, is there anything to worry about?”

“Spotting is normal. From your test results, there is no sign of miscarriage. I suggest you start taking Folic Acid, and pay attention to rest and diet.” The doctor spoke while prescribing some medication for Ruby. After writing the prescription, the doctor continued to instruct Ruby, “Also, the first three months of pregnancy are the most unstable, so try not to have intercourse during this time. Also, eat less cold food and try not to take medication. Some minor ailments can be endured, as medication can have a negative impact on the fetus.”

Ruby committed the doctor’s instructions to heart, one by one, then took the prescription and test results from the doctor. As she was about to leave the doctor’s office, she suddenly remembered something, turned back and asked, “What about vitamins? Can I take those?”

“Which vitamins?”

Ruby hurriedly pulled out the vitamins Steve had always urged her to take from her bag and handed them to the doctor.

The doctor opened the bottle, looked inside, frowned, and then poured out a small white pill. After examining it closely, the doctor stared at Ruby as if she were a lunatic and said, “Miss, you must be mistaken. This isn’t a vitamin. This is a long-term contraceptive.”
