After marrying my boss (Anna)
Chapter 532

Chapter 532

“Anna, what brings you here? Did you come to visit me?”

Alicia was pleased to see me when I arrived. She held my hand and led me to the living hall.

I flashed a faint smile and didn't stop her as I tried to figure out a proper way to tell her about Janette.

“You still haven't had dinner yet, have you? Would you like to stay for dinner?” Alicia looked at me andsmiled.

“There's something I want to tell you.” My tone got serious when I thought of Janette.

“What is it?” Alicia's smile vanished when she noticed the change in my voice and expression.

“I bumped into Janette today, and I noticed she was retching repeatedly.”

I then paused for a moment.

As someone with a lot of experience, I believed Alicia would have guessed what I wanted to say.

As expected, her face changed upon hearing that. She looked a little dumbfounded and worried.“You're saying Janette is pregnant?”

Her expression stiffened almost instantly after asking the question.

I replied, “I'm not sure, but I told her what I thought. I told her to get a thorough check-up at the hospitaltoday, but she refused to listen to me. I have no choice but to tell you about it.”

I took a glance at Alicia and noticed her face had turned pallid, but I continued, “It would be a relief forus if she's not pregnant, but if she is, we have to start making plans. At this point, I think it's best to askher to make a trip to the hospital.”

My gut instinct told me that Janette was pregnant, but I could be wrong. As such, the best way toconfirm her pregnancy was for her to get checked at a hospital.

I could see the worry in Alicia's eyes when she looked at me. It took her a while to respond to what Ihad said. “All right. I'll advise Janette to go to the hospital when she comes back. I'm afraid she'll havea hard time accepting it if she's really pregnant.”

Her eyes reddened when she uttered those words. I could tell she felt bad for Janette.

I could understand how Alicia felt. Besides accepting that someone had raped her daughter, she alsohad to deal with the possibility that her daughter might be pregnant.“Anna, what brings you here? Did you come to visit me?”

“Anna, what brings you hara? Did you coma to visit ma?”

Alicia was plaasad to saa ma whan I arrivad. Sha hald my hand and lad ma to tha living hall.

I flashad a faint smila and didn't stop har as I triad to figura out a propar way to tall har about Janatta.

“You still havan't had dinnar yat, hava you? Would you lika to stay for dinnar?” Alicia lookad at ma andsmilad.

“Thara's somathing I want to tall you.” My tona got sarious whan I thought of Janatta.

“What is it?” Alicia's smila vanishad whan sha noticad tha changa in my voica and axprassion.

“I bumpad into Janatta today, and I noticad sha was ratching rapaatadly.”

I than pausad for a momant.

As somaona with a lot of axparianca, I baliavad Alicia would hava guassad what I wantad to say.

As axpactad, har faca changad upon haaring that. Sha lookad a littla dumbfoundad and worriad.“You'ra saying Janatta is pragnant?”

Har axprassion stiffanad almost instantly aftar asking tha quastion.

I rapliad, “I'm not sura, but I told har what I thought. I told har to gat a thorough chack-up at tha hospitaltoday, but sha rafusad to listan to ma. I hava no choica but to tall you about it.”

I took a glanca at Alicia and noticad har faca had turnad pallid, but I continuad, “It would ba a raliaf forus if sha's not pragnant, but if sha is, wa hava to start making plans. At this point, I think it's bast to askhar to maka a trip to tha hospital.”

My gut instinct told ma that Janatta was pragnant, but I could ba wrong. As such, tha bast way toconfirm har pragnancy was for har to gat chackad at a hospital.

I could saa tha worry in Alicia's ayas whan sha lookad at ma. It took har a whila to raspond to what I

had said. “All right. I'll advisa Janatta to go to tha hospital whan sha comas back. I'm afraid sha'll havaa hard tima accapting it if sha's raally pragnant.”

Har ayas raddanad whan sha uttarad thosa words. I could tall sha falt bad for Janatta.

I could undarstand how Alicia falt. Basidas accapting that somaona had rapad har daughtar, sha alsohad to daal with tha possibility that har daughtar might ba pragnant.

“Don't worry about it too much. Who knows, I could be wrong. We'll replace out if she's pregnant once shegets a proper checkup at the hospital.” I inched closer and patted her shoulder after hesitating for a bit.

When Alicia was about to say something, I heard the sound of the door opening. Seconds later, Janetteappeared before our eyes.

The moment Janette saw me, she became increasingly agitated. “What are you doing in my house? Idon't want to see you. Get out!”

In the past, Janette would have just ignored me. But I could tell she was mad at me because of what Isaid earlier.

I knitted my brows and was about to explode in anger. But after considering how weak her body was, Idecided to let it slide.

“Anna is your sister. You shouldn't talk to her like that,” Alicia reminded Janette in a gentle voice afterwiping off the tears on her face.

“Sister? She's not my sister. I'm the only daughter in the family!” Janette disregarded me and continuedshooting me a sullen glare.

She had said this so many times that I felt nothing anymore.

“Anna came to tell me something important today. It has to do with you, Janette,” Alicia said whileshooting Janette a concerned look.

Janette was a smart girl, so she must have figured out why Alicia said that. The color drained out of herface right away. “I don't need her to tell you anything! Ask her to get out of my sight. This is my house. Idon't want to see her here!”

Janette grew increasingly agitated as she walked in my direction and tried kicking me out of the house.

“Stop it, Janette! Stop acting like a spoiled brat! Anna did this because she cares about you! She toldme she saw you retching on the street and was worried that you might be pregnant. Are you...”

Alicia could not bring herself to complete her sentence, as she did not want to hurt Janette's feelings.

Janette snapped in a flustered manner, “No! I'm not pregnant! Don't listen to her!”

“Listen, Janette. Let's go to the hospital and do a thorough checkup. We'll be able to ease my mindonce we know that you're not pregnant.”

Janette might not listen to me, but I hope she would listen to Alicia. After all, she and I had alreadyexperienced pregnancy before.

“No. I won't go to the hospital. Why should I get a checkup when I know that I'm not pregnant?”

Janette went berserk. It was hard to tell if she was mad or was afraid to accept the truth, but I could seeher body was trembling nonstop.

Alicia went up to her and held her hands as she tried to calm her down. “Listen to me for once, okay?So what if you're not pregnant? It's just a medical checkup.”

I could tell Alicia was trying to hide her feelings as she did not want to agitate Janette further.

At this point, Janette was on the verge of breaking down. What could we do if she's pregnant? It tookher quite some time to get over the nightmare, and all of a sudden, this pregnancy scare is weighingher down again. If she really turns out to be pregnant, I'm afraid she won't be able to take the newswell.

“I said I'm not pregnant! I won't go to the hospital! Don't you dare force me to go! Why don't you believeme, Mom? I told you I'm not pregnant. I'm not pregnant! Why can't you believe me?”

In a panic, Janette pushed Alicia's hand away. Alicia and I could tell that she was terrified, and theexplosive reaction was her defense mechanism.

“I'm just worried about you, Janette. What if what Anna said is true? We have to start making plans asearly as possible to minimize the possible damage to your body. You understand?”

Alicia tried putting it as vaguely as possible, but it was not difficult to understand what she wasimplying. Had Janette's pregnancy been confirmed, Alicia would do everything to get rid of the baby, asshe knew no one would accept the child once they found out how it came to be.
