“Don’t you still have to go to the club?” Melanie asked.
Yvonne shrugged. “It’s still early. Let’s go together after you’re done. I’m just going for a facial appointment, anyway.”
Melanie’s work for the day was relatively simple. They were planning to redo some basic infrastructure along the street, so she had to ask every household to sign a form and agree to fork out a small sum of money.
It only took her ten minutes.
As soon as Melanie was done, Yvonne took her straight to the club where she had made her appointment.
To their surprise, however, they bumped into Viola accompanying a middle-aged woman as soon as they walked in. Viola was practically bowing to the woman.
The moment she saw Melanie, Viola instantly went pale. She looked shocked and humiliated.
Melanie took one look at her, then turned away and followed Yvonne into the club.
The receptionist welcomed them warmly. “Your private room is ready, Ms. Lowry.”
Yvonne nodded. Before she could say anything, a haughty voice spoke up from behind her.
“Viola, I can tell that you’re desperate to sign a deal with my husband’s company, but I can’t help you. If Rockwater had sent anyone else, I might have considered, but… I can’t quite approve of you.”
It was the middle-aged woman from before. Viola cried out in disbelief, “Mrs. Zachary, you can’t just
She shut her mouth mid-sentence, her gaze shooting straight at Melanie.
Melanie sensed her gaze and glanced over for just a second before turning away and following Yvonne into the private room.
The room was filled with the smell of mild incense. Even so, Melanie felt nauseous again as soon as she stepped inside.
She hurried out of the room.
Yvonne asked curiously, “What’s wrong with you?”
Melanie’s nausea kept worsening, becoming much more serious than it had been in the afternoon.
In the end, she even ran straight into the washroom and retched into the sink.
Yvonne followed her into the washroom and looked at her strangely. “Do you have food poisoning or something?”

Melanie had recovered just enough to reply, “I probably caught a cold.”
“Is that all? Phew, I was worried because you look just like my cousin did when she was pregnant. You scared me.”
Yvonne spoke without thinking, but Melanie’s heart skipped a beat.
Her mind suddenly went blank, and the word “pregnant” kept echoing in her head like a bomb going off in her ears.
Melanie slowly straightened up and looked at herself in the mirror. The color drained from her face.
Now that she thought about it, she had not had her period for a while. She thought that it was because she was under too much pressure.
To make things worse, she did not know if Eugene had taken any protective measures when they slept together that night. She knew for sure that she had not taken any birth control, since her mind had been a mess the morning after.
When Melanie came out of the washroom, she was dazed.
Yvonne looked at her. “Melanie, are you feeling alright?”
Melanie’s throat was so tight that it took all her strength to force out the words. “I need to go to the hospital.”
They headed straight to the hospital. Yvonne wanted Melanie to sit down while she went to the counter to register, but Melanie made a beeline to the gynecology department instead.
Yvonne frowned and followed her.
As soon as Yvonne reached the door of the consultation room, she heard Melanie asking nervously, ” Doctor, I want to check if I’m pregnant.”
