CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 97: THE UNWANTED LITTLE LIFE 3

None of them expected that Skyler Jones would disappear like this, for a whole month.

The time really dragged on, and it was making Rebecca Quentin impatient, yet what could she do? She simply couldn’t leave because Geoffrey’s men were on guard, right outside her hotel room, all the time.

Even though they didn’t meddle with her privacy while she was inside, she could step out for a walk, but Geoffrey’s men would follow her every step like she was a prisoner.

However, this lifestyle couldn’t be considered bad compared to those four years of wandering from place to place; having food, drink, and shelter now was quite the luxury.

Yet reality always comes with cruel surprises...

That morning, as Rebecca rose and finished her grooming, she suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

It was an uncontrollable nausea, clutching her chest, she began to retch over the toilet.

The nausea churned her stomach so much that she ended up vomiting bile.

Afterward, she rinsed her mouth several times, but during the last rinse, she suddenly lifted her gaze and stared blankly at herself in the mirror as a worrying and terrifying thought sparked in her mind.

No...

She must be scaring herself, it can’t be...

Even though she comforted herself like this, her heart was in chaos. The cup even slipped from her hand.

A few minutes later, she wrapped herself in a blanket and sat at the bedside, shaking her head vigorously.

It’s not possible, it can’t be...

He was so careful, and she was even more cautious, it couldn’t be possible...

Yet at that moment, Rebecca recalled their last encounter...

It was in the bathroom; she remembered he didn’t take any precautions that night. He often didn’t, but usually, he would carry her into the bathtub to soak for a while. However, that night was different; she was in a bad mood, hadn’t considered the possibility of pregnancy, and only wanted to get him out of her sight. Ordinarily, even if they didn’t soak at night, he would find a reason to soak with her the next day. But he didn’t do that the next day. She was accustomed to his caution, and because of her mood, she failed to consider these things, so she overlooked it, never thought about...

No, she still refused to believe such a possibility existed, although her cycle hadn’t arrived, it had been irregular since her miscarriage four years ago, so it wasn’t an excuse. She believed it was just something she ate the night before, and hoped it would be fine by tomorrow.

Who would guess that things weren’t as optimistic as Rebecca Quentin imagined, since she felt unwell again in the afternoon and evening, her chest remained tight, and nausea was frequent...

The feeling was eerily reminiscent of four years ago when she was pregnant...

She could no longer comfort herself, because of several days of abnormal physical conditions, but without confirmation beforehand, she didn’t want to fear unnecessarily. So, on the fourth day of abnormalities, she left the hotel early in the morning.

The bodyguards, of course, were following her. Seeing her shopping at the convenience store, they wisely stood at the entrance, not paying attention to what she bought.

She picked up several pregnancy tests in the store, then bought a lot of snacks, and used the snacks to cover the tests when checking out.

The bodyguards naturally didn’t know what she bought and didn’t suspect anything.

Once back at the hotel, she nervously entered the bathroom.

All the pregnancy tests were used, and they unanimously showed the result: two clear lines, indicating pregnancy.

She simply couldn’t believe such a result, assuming it was wrong, but bouts of nausea throughout the night prevented her from sleeping. Finally, she decided she had to find a way to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Going to the hospital would definitely arouse the bodyguards’ suspicion, and based on their diligent surveillance, they would surely report her every move to that person. The only way to go to the hospital seemed to be to regain her freedom...

On the sixth day of feeling sick, Rebecca Quentin finally decided to take a trip to Skytop.

She must see Geoffrey because she wanted to know when she could leave, and she couldn’t be confined by him forever.

Several bodyguards seemed surprised by her decision to visit Skytop, so they informed their boss, Jason Wood, who appeared before her before she even got into the elevator to the president’s office floor.
