“In the equipment room?!” I asked with a frown.
“Yes…” Flora touched her belly and suddenly looked a little sentimental. “I had no idea that there was life inside me.”
I sighed. I had thought Flora would take emergency pills after what had happened in the equipment room. I had no idea that she would be so careless.
But it wasn’t her fault. At the time, she and Warren were still in love.
Plus, who would’ve expected that they’d break up so soon?
The past few weeks had been action-packed. Flora had traveled a lot with us. We were really lucky that nothing serious had happened to her and her baby. Fortunately, she was strong in the first place.
“Is there anything wrong other than your low energy?” I picked up the report left by the doctor and leafed through it anxiously. I was still a little worried.
“No. I’m fine. I just need to be careful with my diet.” Flora pouted when she mentioned this. Suddenly, her face fell. “The doctor said I can’t eat fried chicken or drink beer anymore.”
“Of course! You were so careless that you didn’t even know you were pregnant for two whole months! I can’t even begin to count how much unhealthy food you’ve been eating these days!” My tone was a little harsh. After all, I felt terrible for putting Flora in danger so many times recently while she was pregnant.
Flora smiled sheepishly. “Oh, come on. I had no idea that I was pregnant. But I haven’t had my period in a long time. I just thought it was due to some sort of hormonal imbalance. Besides, so much has happened, and I didn’t have the time to care about it.”
Hearing this, I sighed heavily. “It’s my fault, too. You’ve been vomiting a lot lately. I should’ve taken you to the doctor earlier.”
“Oh, Sylvia, I’m fine. Don’t worry!” Flora grinned from ear to ear.
I looked at her crossly and demanded, “Then why do you want to hide your pregnancy? Warren and Harry are worried sick!”
Flora suddenly fell silent. She didn’t dare to look into my eyes.
Then, it clicked. “You don’t want Warren to know, do you?”
Flora didn’t deny it. She frowned and seemed to be caught between a rock and a hard place. She didn’t say anything.
After hesitating for a while, I finally reached for her hand and asked softly, “Do you want to keep this child?”
Flora’s POV
Sylvia’s words startled me. “I never even think of aborting it!” The words spilled out of my mouth before I could control myself.
I wrapped my hand over my stomach to prevent my baby from hearing these terrible words.
“Sorry, I misunderstood you.” Sylvia nodded apologetically. “Since you don’t want to abort the baby, why don’t you tell Warren about it? He is the father of the child. He deserves to know that you’re pregnant with his child.”
I sighed helplessly. “If Warren knows it, he will definitely marry me. But I don’t want him to marry me because he feels responsible for me and the child. I only want a relationship that’s bound by mutual love and care.”
Sylvia cast a quizzical look at me. “I think Warren likes you. We all see the way he looks at you and behaves around you. It’s obvious he is interested in you.”
“How is that possible?” I murmured. I knew Warren cared about me only because of guilt and he simply regarded me as his responsibility.
“Why not? The way he looks at you and behaves around you shows that he likes you a lot. Don’t you like him?” Sylvia raised her eyebrows and looked at me.
For a moment, I didn’t know how to answer Sylvia’s question.
‘Do I not like Warren?’ It didn’t seem to be true, but I couldn’t describe my feelings.
I knew how well Warren had been treating me all these days.
But I couldn’t figure out what I felt for Warren, and I had no idea what was going on in his mind either.
Besides, the thought of his relationship with Alina irked me.
Bile rose in my throat. I blinked to erase the image of her that flashed in my mind.
“What’s wrong? You can tell me anything. You know that, right?” My hesitation seemed to make Sylvia anxious. “Pregnancy is not a small matter. Telling Warren the truth seems like the only solution to the problem.”
I gulped as she examined my face to see what I was thinking. At that moment, I knew I had no choice but to tell her the real reason as to why I was with Warren in the first place. “I’m sorry, Sylvia. Warren and I lied to you. The truth is, we have never been together. We were just pretending to be a couple.”
I had thought of keeping it a secret forever. But considering I was pregnant, I had no choice but to tell Sylvia the truth.
I was determined to give birth to the child because it was a gift from Moon Goddess. I had no right to stop it from stepping into this world.
Warren would know about the child sooner or later. But I didn’t want to tell him yet.
I would wait until he found it out himself one day.
Sylvia shook her head and sighed. “Well, I had already guessed that. But seeing how good your relationship was with him and how much you liked him, I gradually stopped doubting you. I’m sorry. You’re going through all these problems because of me.”
Sylvia held my hand, and I could see the guilt in her eyes.
It broke my heart. I felt sorry for her. I hid the truth from Sylvia precisely because I knew she would end up feeling guilty.
“Don’t talk this way to me. I did everything because I wanted to help you. I wish the best for you, Sylvia. You are my best friend. I want to support you and be there for you.” I held Sylvia in my arms and comforted her.
“But I don’t want…”
“Stop, stop. Enough! In fact, there’s another secret that I haven’t told you,” I said sheepishly.
Sylvia’s brows shot up. She eyed me with curiosity. “What secret?”
I felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud.
“Well… I once had a secret crush on Warren before we came to the capital city, so I was actually willing to have sex with him back then in the equipment room.”
Sylvia looked skeptical. However, her eyes seemed to light up. “Really?”
“Yes. But now, I’m not sure whether I like him or not. Maybe I have changed my mind,” I shrugged casually.
“Why?”
