Chapter 435 You’re Pregnant
Nicole’s words had dampened the burning fire in Julia’s chest. “He used to claim that he loved me, Nicole. So how could he flirt around with other girls all of a sudden? Why would he do that?” Julia cried with her teeth gritted and her face twisted in agony.
Nicole was speechless for a moment—she didn’t know what to say at first. Then, after she had thought about it for a while, she parted her lips to speak. “Julia, have you ever considered that Richard might have his reasons for doing so?”
Julia blinked, and beads of tears trickled down her cheeks as she sniffed and looked into Nicole’s eyes. “Didn’t you hear what he said earlier, Nicole? He said I’m just his classmate in university, but that woman…! That woman’s his fiancée!” Of course, Nicole heard everything that had been said. She wanted to comfort Julia but didn’t know what else to say. The truth had been shoved in their faces, and there was nothing much they could do about it.
“Does my love mean nothing to him, Nicole? I have loved him since we were in high school. If he didn’t want to be with me, I wouldn’t force him to stay,” Julia uttered with a heavy heart. Her eyes were red and swollen. “But if he agreed to be with me, why would he do such a thing? Do I deserve to be dumped by him? Do I deserve to be treated like trash just because I love him?”
Nicole immediately tried to calm Julia down when she saw the other girl getting worked up. “You shouldn’t think of it that way, Julia. Loving someone shouldn’t be that hard. You can give Richard a chance to explain the situation to you.” Upon hearing Nicole’s words, Julia curled her lips into a sarcastic smirk as she raised her voice. “An explanation? Why do I need an explanation? Do I want to hear his reason for abandoning me? Do I want to hear about how much I deserve it?”
“Julia—” Nicole was trying to comfort Julia. However, an outsider’s words wouldn’t make an impact when one was blinded by love.
“I never thought that this day would come, Nicole. What a joke! I was so happy to follow him back to the country, and I was waiting for—” Before Julia could finish her words, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed and fell toward the ground.
Nicole was shocked, and she quickly reached out to support Julia. “Julia! Julia!” Nicole cried when she saw Julia turning unconscious. Unfortunately, Julia didn’t respond at all, so Nicole had no choice but to call the ambulance. Initially, Nicole thought that Julia had fainted because she was emotionally overloaded, but after a checkup at the hospital, it turned out that Julia was pregnant.
She’s pregnant… Nicole widened her eyes. Julia has always been a chaste woman, and she is really picky with her men. She never fell for anyone else except Richard. Could that mean that the child belongs to Richard? This is like a drama series! Richard abandoned Julia and got together with Christi, yet Julia is now pregnant with his child!
Nicole stared at Julia, who was still unconscious. For some reason, Nicole felt a heavy sensation on her chest that made it hard for her to breathe or say anything. The doctor explained that Julia had already been pregnant for two months and that she had fainted because she had gotten too emotional earlier. The doctor also warned that it might threaten the fetus’ well-being if Julia were to experience such intense emotions again.
Nicole stayed by Julia’s side and waited for Julia to wake up after being on an IV drip for a while. When Julia opened her eyes, she saw Nicole in front of her. “What happened to me, Nicole?” she asked weakly. “How did I faint? I’ve always been healthy,” she muttered.
Julia was a doctor herself, so she knew her physical health well. Nicole contemplated for a moment before she decided to tell Julia the truth. “Julia, you’re… pregnant. You’ve been pregnant for two months,” Nicole announced. This wasn’t what Julia had expected. She froze for a moment before pressing her hand against her stomach. There was a bitter look on her face.
