You Looked Down on Me Once, Now You Look Up. novel Chapter 260

“That can’t be right. Are you sure you didn’t mix up the results? I’m practically menopausal.”

The doctor stared at the printout, reading it again and again.

“Maybe you should get your blood tested one more time, just to be safe. The lab techs might’ve made a mistake.”

Kelly didn’t hesitate. She grabbed the slip and hurried downstairs.

By the time she got back, the results were already up on the doctor’s computer screen.

The doctor looked at the monitor, then back at Kelly, shock written all over her face.

“There’s no mistake. I checked.”

“You’re definitely pregnant.”

Kelly felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. Her knees buckled and she practically fell into the chair.

Pregnant?

At this point in her life?

Wait—could it be Greg?

Her face went white as a sheet.

How?

How could this even happen?

“Ma’am, are you alright?” The nurse nearby came over, worry all over her face.

It took Kelly a few seconds to snap out of it. She waved her hand, forcing a small smile. “I’m fine. Thank you.”

She left the office as fast as she could.

The second she was gone, the nurse whispered, “She looked absolutely terrified.”

The doctor just kept flipping through charts, looking unfazed. “Most women her age are busy with grandkids, not morning sickness. Wouldn’t you freak out?”

Everyone’s got their own struggles.

Back in her car, Kelly collapsed against the seat, exhausted. Sweat soaked through her clothes, and she was breathing so hard it sounded like she might pass out.

A little ways off, in a black Bentley, Patricia was fiddling with a pen, tapping it against her planner.

Sara sat beside her, watching the Porsche across the lot, clicking her tongue. “She looks like she’s about to have a panic attack.”

“I mean, wouldn’t you? Getting pregnant at her age—anyone would be freaking out.”
