Chapter 20
The Doctor seemed to have caught on to something she had said, so he prodded further, "And when did that happen, Ma’am?"
"About a month and a half ago," Kate replied.
"Did you experience any changes in your body recently?"
"Well, yeah. I’ve been feeling sluggish. I have been way more exhausted than usual, and I feel dizzy at times," Kate recounted to the doctor. "I also missed my period. It’s been over a week, which is very strange for me because I’ve never missed my period even when I’m stressed with work."
"I see..." the Doctor cleared his throat. "You should get yourself tested again, Mrs. Woods."
Kate frowned, "I—Is there something wrong with my result, Doctor? You said that my results were all negative, why do I have to get tested again?"
"Not a test STDs, Mrs. Woods," the Doctor told her calmly. "You should get a pregnancy test. What you have been experiencing are the early signs of pregnancy, Ma’am."
"P—Pregnancy?!" That word sounded like thunder in a clear sky for Kate. She was dazed for a while before she chuckled because oh how ridiculous the doctor’s words were. "Ah, pardon me, Doctor. I was just surprised by what you said just now."
"May I know what’s so surprising about it, Mrs. Woods?"
