Chapter 521 I Dreamt Of A Scene Like This

At last, Lynn managed to grasp the essence of their drama. She handed the report to Josiah, saying, “Here, take a look for yoursell. Only when the HCG level is above five is there a possibility of pregnancy. According to Dr. Thorne’s numbers, there’s simply no chance of her being pregnant. If you still refuse to believe it, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Josiah took the inspection report, glanced at it, and casually set it aside.

“I did the math on my way here. It has been eight days since we last had sex. Can one replace out if they’re pregnant within eight days?”

Lynn nodded. “It can be done in just seven days. What are you implying? Are you doubting the authenticity of this report?”

“Lynn, you were once her assistant. You were the one who helped her with the abortion last time, and to this day, there are no hospital records of Lysander ever having an abortion.”

Lynn instantly got frustrated. “Who do you think is to blame for her abortion? How dare you even speak about it? Also, falsifying medical reports is a breach of professional ethics, and I don’t plan on losing my job.”

Josiah’s attitude softened considerably immediately after that. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to question your professional integrity. I just… I just…”

Lysander stood up, clearly agitated as she said, “That’s enough, Josiah. Lynn is still at work. Let’s go, we shouldn’t disturb her.”

Josiah was speaking when, out of the blue, he took Lysander’s hand.

Startled, Lysander asked, “What are you doing?”

Josiah spoke carnestly, “Lysander, knowing your temperament, I’m sure you’d first lull me into a false sense of security, and then seize an opportunity to terminate the pregnancy when I’m not looking. I won’t make the same mistake twice.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it was incredibly firm. If one listened closely, one could even detect a hint of

unease.

Lysander stood still, earnestly explaining. “But I really am not pregnant this time.”

“I’m sorry, Lysander, but I just don’t trust you right now.”

Lynn timely interjected from the side, “How about we do another check right in front of you right now?”

Josiah decisively rejected the idea. “Let’s switch to a different hospital.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the medical skills of Central Hospital, but rather, everyone in the obstetrics. and gynecology department was well acquainted with Lysander. If she wanted to deceive him on her own turf, there were plenty of people who would aid her in her deception.

Upon realizing his words were falling on deaf ears, Lysander couldn’t help but feel a spark of irritation. “Can you stop being so unreasonable? I had no idea you were coming, so how could I have possibly prepared a fake report in advance?

Josiah remained silent, lowering his gaze to avoid hers. He didn’t dare to let her know that he was actually afraid of repeating past mistakes. “Some wounds, once inflicted, hurt enough. If it happens again, I truly won’t be able to bear it, he muttered.

His voice was not loud, but it was clear enough for Lysander to hear. A sharp pang of pain resonated in her heart, reminding her of the agony she felt when she had to give up her child.

Setting aside other matters, he was probably the person in this world who could empathize with her the most on this particular issue.

Seeing the two of them on the verge of a standoff in the office, Lynn, with a troubled look on her face, stepped forward to mediate. “This is the obstetrics and gynecology department. The wards next door are filled with expectant mothers. Could you please keep your cool?”

“Sorry for causing you all trouble,” Josiah apologized.

Then, without any warning, he swept Lysander off her feet and carried her away.

Startled, Lysander instinctively reached out, her hands replaceing their way to his shoulder for support.

Before Lynn could stop him, he was already out of reach, despite her taking a couple of steps to catch up. Just then, a nurse called out to her from behind. Frustrated, Lynn stomped her foot and reluctantly headed back to her office.

Without a sidelong glance, Josiah strode purposefully, leading her all the way to the parking lot outside the hospital.

Upon being set down, Lysander’s first reaction was to clarify things with him. “Could you at least let me finish speaking? If I were really pregnant and didn’t plan on keeping the child, would I still be in Lynn’s office? The process of medical abortion takes a long time. Even after taking the pill, it would take at least ant hour or two to take effect. You came so quickly, so there simply wasn’t enough time…”

“Let’s not talk about that matter anymore.”

Josiah had his moments of uncertainty, but in the end, his deep–seated fears gained the upper hand. He opened the car door and promptly sat Lysander down in the passenger seat.

Her actions were gentle, yet extraordinarily resolute.

When he was helping her fasten her seatbelt, he was worried it might be too tight around her stomach. So, he took off his own jacket, folded it to about the size of a basketball, and placed it as a cushion on her abdomen.

Everything happened so swiftly, leaving Lysander with no room to react.

Lysander closed her eyes briefly, leaning back in her chair with a helpless sigh. “Is this really necessary?”

Josiah reached over and buckled her seatbelt for her, his voice cool as he said, “If you want me to believe you, perhaps you should try visiting a few more hospitals first.”

Once he made up his mind, there was no changing it. Even if Lysander tried to persuade him, it would be to no avail.

Lysander was almost amused by his stubbornness. She gave in and said, “Fine, if you want to switch, then we’ll switch. It’s just drawing a few more vials of my blood, after all.”

Upon hearing the mention of drawing blood, Josiah’s hand, which was about to close the car door, froze in place.

“Isn’t it just a urine test? Why do they need to draw your blood?”

“The time frame is too short, so drawing blood would be more precise.”

“Let’s get going. Start the car.

Josiah silently started the car and followed the GPS to East Harborbrook Hospital, which was the nearest

one.

The obstetrics and gynecology department there was not as busy as the one in Central Hospital, so they received the test results rather quickly.

Lysander had anticipated this outcome early on, so she sat calmly by the side while waiting.

Josiah stared at the test results that Lynn had given him, which were identical to the one he was currently holding. He studied them for a long while, still unwilling to accept the reality. With a furrowed brow, he asked the doctor, “Are these results accurate?”

“Of course!” the doctor responded, slightly irritated as he assumed he was being questioned about his competence. “This is a basic examination. Even smaller clinics can conduct it.”

Josiah remained silent, his expression turning even more unpleasant.

Upon seeing their reaction, the doctor seemed to have misunderstood something. He softened his tone and advised, “There’s really no need for you two to worry so much. It’s usually quite easy for young people to have children. As long as both of you are healthy, if you abstain from smoking and drinking and exercise more, you’ll likely receive good news soon.

Lysander parted her lips, in the end, she was too weary to provide an explanation that would only deepen the misunderstanding. With an indifferent expression, she asked Josiah, “Shall we go?”

“Let’s go.” Josiah slowly rose to his feet.

“Are we heading home or going to the hotel?”

“Let’s try a different hospital

Lysander closed her eyes to get some rest. “As you wish.”

This time, Lysander didn’t even bother to dissuade him. Seeing his stubbornness, refusing to give up until the end, she let him take her to the next hospital. However, even after they had visited four or five hospitals in a row, the results were all the same.

The doctor at the last hospital saw the grim expression on Josiah’s face. It was so severe that he even gently suggested, “Sir, if there’s something you’re replaceing hard to discuss, you can simply exit, turn right, and go to the andrology department to get a comprehensive check–up done.”

Josiah seemed on the verge of saying something. However, he then held back, and his expression turned gloomy. He picked up the medical report and left the hospital alongside Lysander.

This time, Lysander didn’t need him shoving her in. She voluntarily got into the car and asked, “Are we going to try another hospital?”

“No need. I’m sorry. Lysander. I’m sorry,” Josiah said, a somber expression on his face as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“It’s just a few tubes of blood. I can handle that.”

Josiah remained silent, his eyes closed, leaning painfully against the backrest. Over and over, he repeated, “I’m sorry…

Lysander licked her lips and casually folded a couple of test reports in her hands. “Josiah, I’ve actually imagined a scene like today.”

“What?”

Lysander lifted her head, staring straight ahead as she said, “On the day I decided to terminate the pregnancy, I was alone in a bathroom stall, holding a pill in my hand. Even though I had made the most rational decision, I was still fantasizing that you would suddenly burst through the door, fiercely throw the pill into the toilet and flush it away, then lead me out of the hospital by the hand,”

“Lynn would also, just like today, chase after you demanding compensation for the damaged door. You would respond the same way, assuring her that you would fix it somehow no matter the cost. You would then grab my hand and lead me out of there.”

“That day, I held the pill in my hand, my gaze fixated on the bathroom door,” Lysander’s voice gradually faded. “Sadly, I waited for a long time, but you never showed up. So in the end, I swallowed the pill without any water. I just gulped it down. The pill clung to the lining of my throat, refusing to be swallowed, causing

my eyes to well up with tears. In that moment, I wondered if it was my baby telling me, she didn’t want to leave me.”

Josiah covered his face in agony when he heard that.
