Chapter 404: Happier and Stronger.
Arissa faked being okay all through the trip. After listening to Mrs. Wyatt’s words back in the nursery, she decided to act okay to sway the woman’s mind off things like that.
Mr. Adams joined them and when Arissa met up with the doctor, he made sure not many people saw her walk in. There might be seeds of the higher-ups everywhere.
Mr. Adams felt lucky to be here with his daughter. He felt proud he was about to watch her turn into a mother. There wasn’t much Arissa had to do in the hospital except confirm her pregnancy and receive some advice on how to take care of herself and the baby.
There was a smile on Arissa’s face when the doctor confirmed she was pregnant. She held the test result with eyes filled with uncertainty and thoughts.
"Thank you, Ma’am," Arissa thanked the doctor while staring down at the test result. Even her voice came out lost.
Picking up her purse, she stood up to meet with Mrs. Wyatt who patiently stood outside waiting for her.
"Can I have a word with you?" The doctor asked from behind Arissa.
Arissa’s feet paused and she turned back to the doctor. Having a short contemplation, she gave the doctor a small smile and nodded.
"Have your seat then," the doctor smiled and pointed at the seat Arissa stood up from. Looking at the comfortable smile of the nurse, Arissa did as she was asked and waited for the doctor to speak up.
