Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Poor Esther had to endure the torture of the wound while thinking about what she should do. She thought, ‘How to get rid of the matter of going to the hospital? As things are, it is impossible to let Terence give up.

I hope that the doctor won’t find out that I am pregnant. Don’t use the machine to examine me, prescribe forbidden drugs for pregnant women…’

The car stopped at the entrance of the hospital. Terence parked the car. He got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat. Then, he carried her out of the car.

“Terence, am I going to see the doctor? I don’t want to…”

“I know you don’t want to, but that doesn’t change the fact that you need the doctor to treat your wound,” Terence spoke lightly as he strode towards the emergency room.

When the doctor heard that Esther was hit by a car, he immediately ordered her to take a CT scan. Her worst fears were realized.

She stuttered, “Doctor, there’s no need… I don’t think there’s any damage to my brain.”

“It’s better to take a CT scan. After all, the wound looks quite serious.” The doctor gestured to her. “Come on and sit down. I’ll help you treat the wound.”

Esther obediently turned her head away and went back to the doctor. She was so upset.

After bandaging the wound, the doctor urged Terence to pay the fee while saying to Esther, “Go, follow the nurse to the second floor to take a CT scan.”

“No, I don’t want to…” Esther was a little anxious. She could only turn her pleading gaze to Terence.

Seeing she was so stubborn, the doctor became a little angry. He sized them up and said, “Well, what’s wrong with you young people? Well. You look rich, but you don’t want to pay for a CT scan. Is your life more important or…”

“I’m sorry, doctor. She’s pregnant.” Terence, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted the doctor.

Hearing his words, Esther was stunned. She raised her head and stared at him with a shocked expression.

Esther thought, ‘Do I hear wrong? What did he just say? He said that I am pregnant? He uses such a positive tone!

How did he know? When did he start to know? Why didn’t he say it when he knew? Why didn’t he scold me and hate me?’

A lot of questions rushed into Esther’s brain, making her aching head instantly feel like it was going to explode.

When the doctor heard Terence’s words, he was also stunned for a moment. Then, the doctor said, “Fine, I will observe first. If there’s anything uncomfortable, then tell me.”

The doctor added, “By the way, although your injury is not serious, you still have to be careful because you are pregnant. After all, you fell so heavily. Go to the inpatient department to observe the condition of the fetus.”

Esther was so flustered that she could not speak. Terence responded, “OK.”

From the emergency room to the hospital building, Esther was almost in a daze. Fortunately, the nurse pushed her with a wheelchair. Otherwise, she would have hit the door.

The nurse said, “Miss Esther, lie down and have a good rest. A doctor will come to see you later.”

Esther nodded and leaned against the headboard as she watched the nurse leave.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

After a while, a doctor came over. After giving her a detailed examination, he repeatedly advised, “If there is anything uncomfortable, remember to tell the nurse.”

Finally, Terence, who was handling the hospitalization procedures, returned.

Esther couldn’t wait to get off the bed. Terence stopped her. “Don’t move. The doctor said that you are showing signs of miscarriage and need to lie still.”

Esther quietly retreated to the bed and leaned back. She looked at him with eyes full of love. After a while, she cautiously asked, “How did you know?”

Terence did not look furious. Esther thought, ‘Why? Could it be the calm before storm?’

“I guessed it.” Terence’s tone was as indifferent as ever.

Guess? How did you guess? And when did you guess?

Esther wanted to ask him, but she didn’t dare to ask. On the contrary, Terence saw the doubts in her heart and said, “Esther, look at your shocked expression. Am I so stupid in your heart?”

Esther was silent.

“You change your diet habits suddenly. From the strong reaction when I touched you last night, and the strong reaction when the doctor asked you to take a CT scan, I guess it.”

Esther still did not speak. She did not know what to say at all.

After a long while, she finally spat out, “Then why didn’t you expose me?”

“I confirmed it just now. It was just a suspicion before.”

Esther bit her lips. After a while, she looked up at him and said, “Well, since you have guessed it, you should know when I was pregnant. I’ve been in shock. This morning, you put birth control pills in my milk. Why can I still be pregnant? Why?”

Terence laughed mockingly. “Do you really think I would be so shameless as to drug you?”

“What do you mean?” Esther was stunned again. “You mean … you didn’t give me birth control pills?”

“That’s right. At last, I changed my mind.”

Esther completely lowered her head. She was touched. She remembered the sadness and loss she felt after hearing his words that day. When she remembered that her disappearance caused him to fall ill, she felt guilty again.

“Terence, why don’t you drug me? You should have done it.”

“Why?” Terence grabbed her chin. He glared at her coldly. “You try your best to get pregnant. Why are you saying this now?”

“I … I used to think you didn’t want kids because you didn’t like me. At that time, Mrs. Gibson kept urging me to get pregnant. I have no choice.” Esther grabbed his arm and stared at him. “But after hearing the reason why you don’t want a child, I’m scared. I don’t dare to tell you the news. I am afraid you’re in a pickle. I am afraid you’d be angry and I am afraid you’d hate me.”

“What should we do? Terence, we already have a child…” Esther’s fingers that were grabbing his arm tightened bit by bit. She was so nervous.
