She opened the door, her eyebrows tightly knit, and handed the test result to Hugo Quinn.
When Hugo Quinn saw the two lines, it felt as if fireworks suddenly lit up around him, and he excitedly hugged Eleanor Hollis.
"Are you really pregnant?! This is great! Just great!!"
Eleanor Hollis was dizzy from his shaking, but she didn’t forget to throw a wet blanket.
"Maybe this result isn’t accurate, we should go to the hospital and check it out."
Hugo Quinn saw her unwilling expression and couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed. Was he the only one anticipating the arrival of this little life?
Eleanor Hollis knew what he was thinking and quickly snuggled into his arms.
"Although I said before that now is not the right time to have a child, if it really happens, I’ll accept it, and it’s your child, so I’m willing."
Hugo Quinn’s heart instantly softened. "Then change your clothes, let’s go to the hospital for a check-up!"
His face was full of impatience, looking eager.
Eleanor Hollis rubbed her temples.
"Tomorrow then, it’s too late now, Hugo, there’s no rush."
Hugo looked at the time and realized it was already after three in the afternoon. Although anxious, he still listened to Eleanor’s words.
In the evening, while watching a movie with Marcus, Hugo sat beside her and kept glancing at her stomach, almost wanting to stare a hole into it.
The front of Eleanor Hollis’s head was shadowed in black lines, wondering if this man would ever stop.
"Hugo, can you stop staring like that?"
Hugo was originally lost in his gaze, but hearing her voice, he was slightly startled, yet his eyes still didn’t leave her stomach, as if doing so could reveal a child.
"Mommy, are you pregnant?"
Marcus suddenly spoke, his gaze also landing on Eleanor Hollis’s belly. For more chapters visıt 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Eleanor felt something strange, took a small step back, and covered her stomach.
"No, Marcus, don’t listen to your dad’s nonsense."
Marcus touched his own chin, but to see Dad acting so silly now, it wouldn’t make sense if Mommy wasn’t pregnant.
Hugo laughed and reached to touch Eleanor’s belly as if he could feel something inside.
Eleanor stood up, it was unbearable. She looked down at the big one and the small one.
"Go to bed early, what are you still watching anime for, you’re about to see through my belly."
She went upstairs, and Hugo quickly followed her with enthusiasm.
"Eleanor, you really should get some rest, see how sleepy you’ve been lately, a sure sign of pregnancy."
He happily got into bed, hugging her like a fool.
Eleanor turned around, fearing his expectations would eventually disappoint him.
"Hugo, don’t have too high hopes, I’m afraid you’ll be let down, actually I’ve always been..."
Actually, I’ve always been taking my pills.
But before she could finish, Hugo covered her mouth.
"Eleanor, I know you’re not ready yet, but don’t worry, after the child is born, I’ll give them the utmost care and let them grow up happily. Oh, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
Eleanor looked speechlessly at this man, feeling she couldn’t get through to him, forget it, they’d talk after tomorrow’s hospital visit.
She fell asleep quickly, but Hugo couldn’t sleep at all, tossing and turning, eventually getting up to call on the balcony.
"Eleanor might be pregnant, what name should I choose? Is a boy or a girl better? But as long as it’s hers, I love both."
Julian Sterling listened with a dark face to the voice in his ear, wondering if the call in the middle of the night was meant to torture this single dog?
"Julian, don’t worry, if you’re still single when the child is born, I’ll definitely let them call you godfather."
Rarely did Hugo show off in front of his friends, having achieved many successes in business, he had never been this proud.
Although Julian Sterling was happy for him, he couldn’t help but retort.
"Are you so sure she’s pregnant? If it’s just a pregnancy test, the error rate is quite high, don’t get your hopes up too soon."
However, the call had already ended by then.
Hugo thought Julian Sterling was just jealous.
With a grin, he accompanied Eleanor to the hospital early the next morning.
Strangely, why are my legs so weak today?
He sat down nearby, watching Eleanor follow a nurse inside, and couldn’t stop his legs from shaking.
"You’re here with your wife for a check-up, you’re so good to her. I’ve been for check-ups several times alone, my husband never comes."
The woman sitting nearby turned to him and said. Hugo saw her with a big belly, suddenly feeling a sense of kinship, and hearing her refer to Eleanor as his wife, he felt even closer, showing a rare smile.
"Yeah, maybe she’s pregnant, so I’m here with her to have a look."
As he spoke, his hands clenched tightly together, focusing intently on the closed door.
After a while, Eleanor came out after having some blood drawn.
Blood tests are the most accurate, once the report comes out, they will know for certain.
Hugo was already moving awkwardly, walked up to Eleanor, and pulled her into his arms.
"Let’s sit over there, there are so many people, it might take a while to get the report."
Eleanor nodded, and the two sat on a slightly softer chair.
But soon, she saw someone she knew, it was Anna Hollis.
Anna had Alice Lynch by her side, both with anxious expressions.
Strange, what were they doing here?
Anna and Alice didn’t notice Hugo and Eleanor standing in the corner, continuing to wait in line.
"Mom, I’m... I’m scared..."
Anna Hollis was trembling all over, she never thought she could be pregnant, her relationship with her boyfriend had been just a fling, besides being handsome, he had no other traits, and his family was poor, so it had been a secret romance, but she’d been vomiting these past few days and Alice forced her to come here for a check-up.
Alice Lynch was furious, if she hadn’t noticed Anna vomiting, she’d still be in the dark.
"That boy, break up with him, his family is dirt poor, how could he be worthy of you?! Anna, you’re degrading yourself, who do you think I’m working so hard for, and you go bringing a child into this?!!"
Anna’s face turned red with fear of being recognized by people around her, hurriedly putting a hat on.
"Mom, keep your voice down."
Alice’s chest was heaving, just thinking about her daughter’s possible pregnancy made her feel faint.
Soon it was their turn, Anna went for her check-up, then waited for the report.
That’s when she noticed Eleanor and Hugo sitting nearby, her face immediately turning pale, had they heard everything she and Alice said?
