Chapter 605: Chapter 310 How is Evie Larkin together with Kay Forrest (1 more)
The hospitals in small county towns aren’t as busy as the big hospitals in Anchester.
Registering to see a doctor, getting lab orders, and paying took less than half an hour.
Next was to have the tests done and wait for the results.
Jane Quinlan sat quietly on the bench outside the lab.
As time ticked by, she finally held the results in her hand.
Going back to the doctor with the results, her face was a bundle of nerves as she looked at the doctor.
"Doctor, how is it? Am I pregnant?"
The doctor pursed her lips and smiled: "You’re pregnant."
Jane left the hospital in a daze.
If her parents found out about the unplanned pregnancy, would she get beaten up?
No, she can’t tell her parents.
She can’t tell Kay Forrest either.
With his whimsical nature, if he found out about her pregnancy, he would probably rush back today.
Jane Quinlan took a breath; despite it being a happy occasion, she oddly couldn’t share it with anyone.
Now she suddenly looked forward to returning to Anchester after the New Year and seeing Kay Forrest’s reaction when he heard the news.
She smiled and pulled out her phone to call Kay Forrest.
Kay Forrest’s phone connected, and his sleepy voice came through: "Baby."
"You’re still not up? You’ve been asleep for twelve hours."
"I’ll get up soon."
"You’d better get up quick, we’re going home this noon.
It’s only three days until New Year; don’t be lazy."
"With you as my daughter-in-law, my dad really doesn’t have to worry about the baby not coming home."
Jane chuckled: "I’ve said before, parents’ feelings are complicated.
We’re not parents yet, so we don’t understand this feeling.
But one day you’ll become a dad too. If your son also doesn’t want to be with you, would you be heartbroken?"
"I won’t let it get to that point with my son; I’ll be a good dad."
"But your dad is a good dad too.
If he hadn’t given up time with you in order to lay the foundations of this empire for you.
You’ll have to do this when you have children."
"Okay, okay, I got it. To prevent you from nagging me about this anymore, I’ve decided to get up and wash up to go home.
Call me later, and I’m sure I’ll be at home by then, how about that?"
Jane nodded with a smile: "What a good husband you are."
She caught a taxi and got in. "Driver, to the old city district, please."
Kay Forrest was puzzled: "Oh, you went out?"
"Yeah, I came to the city to buy some stuff."
"Are the malls already open?"
Jane Quinlan stuck her tongue out: "Not going to the mall. If I was, why would I need to get up so early?
I came to buy medicine for grandpa."
"Okay, that’s fine then. I’m getting up. You head home."
After hanging up, Jane Quinlan sighed with relief.
Thinking back to what Kay Forrest had just said, about becoming a good father in the future, she felt elated.
He is a good boyfriend, and seeing how he treats her, she truly believes he’ll be a good dad.
She gently touched her belly and smiled faintly.
Baby, thank you for choosing to be my baby, you’re going to have the world’s best mom and dad.
Definitely.
When she returned home, mom and dad had gone out to buy Chinese New Year goods.
Jane Quinlan greeted grandpa and went back to her room.
She called Adriana Golden, inquiring about last night’s events.
"It was quite a scene last night. Rowan Golden finally manned up once and treated us to dinner.
Later, he cried like a baby, regretting his blindness for not choosing a good girl like you and ending up with a nemesis instead.
At the time of our departure, he was plastered.
Garrett Weston and the others sent him home, and his mother-in-law was there, sending Savannah Golden back to his place.
His mother-in-law argued endlessly and refused to agree to them getting a divorce just like that.
Initially, Rowan Golden thought they were there to reconcile.
But guess what, it turns out his mother-in-law came to claim the house.
Claiming her daughter didn’t just marry into the Rowans for nothing, having ’served’ with her youth and everything."
Hearing this from Adriana Golden, Jane Quinlan also smiled.
So Savannah Golden takes after her mother: "What happened afterward?"
"Things escalated after that; Rowan Golden was too drunk, and Garrett and the others thought to pacify Savannah to let her and her mother go first, waiting for Rowan to sober up and then discuss the matter.
But Savannah was even more hysterical than her mom, insisting on throwing the drunk-as-a-lord Rowan out of the house.
Eventually, Garrett called the police."
After the police left, they inquired about the specific circumstances of Rowan Golden’s family.
They also asked about the details mentioned on the property deed and let Savannah Golden and her mother go home first.
The house was bought by Rowan Golden’s parents as his marital home before his marriage, and only his name is on the property deed.
The police said, "They should follow legal procedures."
"Didn’t Savannah Golden settle the property issues before the divorce?
Why is she now thinking of claiming the house after the fact?"
"Besides the house and car, Savannah Golden took all their assets.
She even took the DSLR camera that Rowan Golden had just bought.
Rowan Golden said that the camera cost him over ten thousand, and he hadn’t even used it yet.
Rowan Golden’s salary card is also with Savannah Golden, and she refuses to return it to him.
Rowan Golden could only reapply for a new card at his company."
Jane Quinlan shook her head and smiled; that Rowan Golden might look tough, but he’s actually a coward at heart.
But when it comes to love, who can truly understand it?
To others, Kay Forrest may seem like a playboy, charming and flirtatious, difficult for any woman to hold on to.
But isn’t he also devoted and faithful to her?
She never really cared about his past, and accepted everything about him openly.
What she cares about is his future.
During lunch, Jane Quinlan started feeling nauseous again.
The family members looked at her with suspicion, and Jane Quinlan chuckled awkwardly: "My stomach has been a bit off recently; I’ll go see a doctor after the New Year."
"Jane, you’re not pregnant, are you?" her mother was more direct, voicing the family’s doubts.
Jane Quinlan’s face reddened as she quickly objected: "No."
"How do you know it’s not, without having it checked at the hospital?"
The grandfather said: "Let’s eat first, and after the meal we can accompany Jane to the hospital to check."
The mother waved her hand: "No need, I’ll go buy a pregnancy test for her later."
Seeing the family’s reaction, Jane Quinlan suddenly felt less terrified.
"No need for that."
"What do you mean no need? It’s a big deal, what if you’re actually pregnant?"
"If I were pregnant, wouldn’t you all kill me?" Jane Quinlan shook her head: "No need to check."
"Who dares? I’d like to see who dares to lay a finger on my granddaughter," the grandfather glared at both Jane’s father and mother: "This is Jane’s own matter, you are not allowed to hit the child."
"Oh Dad, why would we hit her?
Forrest has already proposed to her, and I think Forrest is truly sincere about Jane.
I have no objections to this, getting pregnant early and having a child is better for recovery.
Now that a second child is allowed, we should take good care of her health for the next pregnancy."
Jane Quinlan was baffled by her father’s words.
This is totally not the script for a thrashing.
So why is she hiding anything?
"No need to go to the hospital, I am pregnant, I just went to the hospital for confirmation this morning."
Jane’s mother scolded her: "I knew you snuck out early in the morning, have you told Forrest about this? What does Forrest think?"
"Not yet, I’ll talk about it when I go back after the New Year."
The grandfather looked at her: "You can really hold back."
"Grandpa, I originally couldn’t hold back, but you don’t know Kay Forrest’s temper.
If I had told him, he would definitely come back today.
It’s only a few days; I’ll talk about it when I go back.
This way he can also have a peaceful New Year."
"Mmm, my granddaughter is considerate.
In the next few days while Jane is here, take good care of her; cook her whatever she wants to eat.
Don’t make her feel wronged."
Jane Quinlan laughed gleefully; it was good that she wasn’t getting a beating over this.
After eating, Jane originally wanted to wash the dishes, but her mother wouldn’t allow it, so she leisurely returned to her room.
Feeling bored upon entering her room, she called Kay Forrest.
The phone rang for quite a while without an answer; just as Jane was about to hang up, the call connected.
Jane Quinlan’s mood lifted: "Why did you take so long to answer? I was just about to hang up."
There was no sound from the other end of the phone, Jane puzzled: "Forrest?"
Was there a bad signal?
Just as she was about to hang up and call back, a woman’s voice came from the other end of the line.
The voice sounded distant, as if it was far from the phone.
"Kay, how much longer until you’re done showering? The bed is all made, when are you coming out?"
Jane Quinlan’s heart sank; wasn’t that Evie Larkin’s voice?
Why was Evie Larkin together with Kay Forrest?
Showering, making the bed, Jane Quinlan bit her lip, why did it feel so odd?
