The Woman From Hell

The next day.

I came to Susan's apartment early in the morning, and it was Susan who came to open the door.

Seeing me, Susan was stunned for a moment. She looked puzzled, perhaps curious about my coming so early. "Wanda? Why are you here in the morning?"

I probed around inside and smiled. "Nina joined my company. I'm bringing her out to meet clients today."

Susan turned to the side, letting me in. I looked at the empty living room and then upstairs. "Is she still sleeping?"

"I heard some sounds when I came downstairs. She should be done soon."

The moment she said that Nina descended with dark circles under her eyes. Seeing Susan, Nina grinned. "Susan, good morning."

"Good morning."

"I'll be taking off with Nina first, then."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to Susan, Nina and I left the house together.

I turned and glanced at her. The smile on her face had disappeared, and all that was left was bitterness. I could not bear seeing her like this, so I reached out and put my arms around her shoulders. "Alright, don't think so much. Looking at you like this, you must definitely didn't sleep well last night, right?"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

I heard Nina sigh before she replied, "I don't want to do this either, but I just can't help myself. If I really am pregnant, I...I don't know what I'd do." Her voice was filled with fear, and her eyes were uncertain about the future. I patted her on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. "Don't worry. I'm here. Not to mention it's not confirmed yet. It might be nothing. Come, get in the car."

I opened the car door and got into the driver's seat first. Nina opened the door slowly and sat in, her expression gloomy. I motioned her to put on her seat belt and said with a smile, "Don't be like that. Be happy, smile."

Nina pulled out a particularly ugly smile at my persuasion, and I shook my head helplessly. "Forget it. I won't force you. You look uglier when you smile than when you're crying. I've already made an appointment in advance. We just

need to go over."

I started the engine and drove smoothly. In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the hospital.

There were several women sitting outside the waiting room. Some of them looked very young. I looked back at Nina, and it was obvious that she was very nervous now.

I accompanied her the moment her turn came. The doctor looked up at Nina and pushed down his black-rimmed glasses. "Have you done the test yourself?"

Nina lowered her head and replied in a low voice, "Yes."

The doctor asked the nurse to fetch a test kit and handed it to Nina. "Let's test it again."

"Oh, okay."

She accepted the kit, and I followed her to the bathroom. "I'll wait for you at the door."

The smell of disinfectant in the

hospital was intense. I did not like this smell. I also did not like coming to the hospital. I hoped that would have to come here less in the future.

Nina came out after a while and brought the test report back to the doctor. The doctor glanced at it, looked up, and said, "Yes, congratulations. Do you want to keep it?"

"I..." Nina rubbed her hands, unable to do anything for a while.

I quickly continued for her and smiled at the doctor. "I'm sorry, but my friend hasn't made up her mind yet. We'll come back when she has."

The doctor was expressionless, but

his tone was cold. "Yes, this kind of

matter needs to be considered carefully, but don't delay too long.

You can take a photo to see how its development is coming along."

"Okay, we'll go now."

I took Nina out of the consultation room, and we went to the ultrasound room, "Go, check and see how it's going."
