Donovan glanced at the report and saw that it was Anne's ultrasound report. At the end of the report, it confirmed that the patient was having an intrauterine pregnancy. Anne was pregnant.
He paused and asked, "What is the meaning of this?"
"It's your baby." Anne was blushing as she added bashfully, "It was that night at the hospital, when we did—"
"Didn't I order you to take medication after that?" Sudden fury arose in his heart.
"I—" Anne quickly calmed as she recited the words she had prepared earlier. "I had done a women's health examination in the past, and the doctor told me that I had PCOS, so the chance of me getting pregnant is already very low, that's why I didn't take the medicine.
"I didn't think we would get so lucky. Who knew… I can only say that this baby is destined to be with us."
Donovan tossed the report aside. He cradled his forehead, frustrated, and was silent for a long while. However, he didn't release his wrath on Anne.
He still had no recollection of that alleged night at the hospital, and he didn't feel anything other than endless frustration when the news of the baby came.
"Sorry, Don. I know you have no plans to have a child now, yet I've made you a father. I know you're not going to be happy, but think about it—you're not so young anymore, and this baby came at just the right time. Why don't we accept it and go through with the wedding, so this baby can come into this world as a legitimate child?"
Donovan was still icily stoic. His expression gave nothing away.
He was adamant about not getting married. He didn't want to get married; naturally, he, of course, didn't want children as well.
If it were the past, once he knew that he had accidentally gotten someone pregnant, he would have her get it settled immediately.
However, after the delivery from Giselle had left him utterly damaged the last time, as he was reminded about that pile of gory, bloody substance, he was deeply traumatised, and became oddly sensitive to words like abortion.
