Chapter 47
"Doctor, how is it?" Mrs. Brent came here too, and she was the first to ask the doctor.
The doctor looked at Franklin awkwardly and said, "The patient is fine. She's just... on her period. She's not pregnant.”
At first, they were scared when Jason called, saying that the patient might miscarry, so they were ready. They didn't expect that she was not pregnant at all but just on her period.
The doctor was also speechless. This was probably the biggest snafu he had encountered this year.
"What?" Mrs. Brent cried out, "She's not pregnant? That woman was faking her pregnancy to get into my family?"
The doctor did not dare to speak and left quickly.
Mrs. Brent turned livid and shouted at Franklin, "There you are, you see? This girl is not innocent! She tricks you into marrying her with a fake pregnancy. Fortunately, you don't have a wedding but just get a marriage certificate. Tomorrow...no now, go and divorce her. Luckily, Ivy will be back soon...”
"Please go home!" Franklin stopped her.
Mrs. Brent said so much, but he just drove her out. She's irritated.
So she shouted, "Don't you hear my words? What the hell are you thinking? Don't you want to dump this woman after she used a fake pregnancy to deceive you?"
"I told you to go back home." Franklin roared.
Mrs. Brent was stunned by his roar.
By the time she came to her senses, Franklin had already entered the emergency room. Mrs. Brent was so angry that she trembled, but she did not dare to rush in and talk to him again, so she left reluctantly. Emily wasn't in a coma but just on her period. She thought she'd had a miscarriage, which made her so scared that she almost passed out. Nonetheless, she was relieved when she heard that she was only on her period. She lay on the operating table still, not caring that she was still bleeding.
"Can you get up?" Franklin said coldly when he walked in and saw that she was still lying there.
Emily looked at him and opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.
All of a sudden, she felt that all of these were ridiculous with an indescribable sense of embarrassment.
Franklin married her because she was pregnant. Now that she wasn't pregnant, she would be suspected of coaxing him into marriage. Although she wasn't the one who said she was pregnant at first, she was the one who had to take the blame now.
"I'm sorry,” Emily said after a long time.
"Sorry for what?" Franklin snorted.
“I... I'm not pregnant.”
“I know. The hospital made a mistake. There was another patient who had the same name as you. I took the wrong report. It's my fault.” Franklin said coldly.
Emily said shamefully, "But it's also my fault. My period is always irregular. This time it was delayed for a long time, so I thought... I didn't expect it to be just postponed.”
She made a mistake as well! She shouldn't believe it so easily when people said she was pregnant. The point was that her period didn't come regularly as well.
"Forget it, that's that. What's the use of apologizing? Get up! Don't lie on it." Franklin comforted her.
Emily clearly saw a sense of loss in his eyes.
It was right. How could he not be disappointed? She could tell how much Franklin was looking forward to this child.
Now that the child was gone, he should be the saddest one!
What would happen next?
He would definitely divorce her. How could their marriage continue without children?
Emily felt a little uncomfortable but also a little relieved.
To be honest, they were not well-matched. Divorce might not be a bad thing and they did not owe each other.
She waited for him to mention it! Even if he wanted to divorce her now, she had nothing to say.
But Franklin didn't say anything. He asked Jason to buy her a bag of sanitary napkins and let her use it.
When she came out, Franklin took off his suit jacket and tied it around her waist.
Emily blushed and said, "Your clothes will get dirty."
"It's just a jacket,” Franklin said indifferently.
Emily bit her lip and followed Franklin.
When she got in the car, she thought Franklin would mention the divorce, but Franklin didn't say a word. He leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed. He looked tired.
Emily looked at him, not daring to speak.
When she got home, she took off Franklin's coat and, as expected, it was dirty.
This kind of clothes was all handmade, so it was not easy to wash the stains off. So she could only throw it away. Then she found another set of clothes for herself and hurried to the bathroom.
When she came out, the servant knocked on the door and came in. The servant smiled at her and said, "Madam, Mr. Brent asked me to make brown sugar water for you."
"Thank you. Where's him?" Emily felt warm. She quickly took the bowl and asked the servant.
"Mr. Brent is in the study.” the servant replied.
"Oh, I see. You can go to do your work!" Emily said.
After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water, she really felt much better in her lower abdomen. Her lower abdomen was not so cold, nor did it hurt as much.
She had irregular periods since she was a child. When she first had her period at the age of thirteen, Elena instructed her to wash her clothes. Not to mention drinking something warm, she had to touch cold water. How could her periods be regular?
In addition, she was malnourished. Although she looked no different from a normal person after she took care of herself when she grew up, she was still weak and her periods had been irregular all these years. But it was the first time that she didn't have her period for more than forty days. She didn't know why.
After drinking brown sugar water, Emily lay down.
But when she woke up in the middle of the night with pain in her lower abdomen, she realized that no one was around.
She could not help but open her eyes immediately. Looking at her empty side, she felt upset.
He was with her because she was pregnant as expected. Now that the baby was gone, he didn't even want to sleep in the same bed with her. He was going to divorce her tomorrow.
Thinking about these in a daze, Emily fell asleep again.
When she woke up the next day and went downstairs, she realized that Franklin had already gone to work. She had no choice but to eat quickly and rush to the company.
However, she had nothing to do at the sales office recently. After a few days of work, Emily thought about it and put the sales office work on hold for the time being. She found a decoration company and focused on renovating Harry's house.
Harry gave her so much money, so she had to get things done.
She didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at the decoration company. "Emily, it's really you," the man said in surprise.
Emily also looked at him. When she recognized who he was, she also said happily, "Sebastian?"
"You still remember me. That's great. What are you doing here? Are you going to renovate the house?" Sebastian asked
Emily nodded and quickly asked, "What about you?"
"Coincidentally, I'm a designer of this company,” Sebastian said with a smile.
"What a coincidence! I know the boss of this company. I don't know that you work here now. Then I can ask you to design the house. It's great. It will be more convenient if you are a designer.” Emily said happily.
