Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1601

Josh Batton had a pure look in his eyes. He also had a friendly smile.

His smile was pure, clean, gentle, and full of kindness. He seemed just like a boy-next-door kind of person.

"After taking part in Chanel's perfume exhibition in City L later, we'll still have to rush over to City L's television station for an interview with Colbie Keynes Talk Show...

"You'll still be very exhausted today. That's why you should try to get some sleep on the plane later if possible..." Annabeth Cates carefully briefed Josh on his itinerary as she looked at his handsome face... "Bleurgh..." After finishing her sentence, Annabeth suddenly started retching.

At this moment, she felt extremely nauseous.

Josh immediately opened his eyes when he heard the noise. "What's wrong?" he asked nervously as he looked at Annabeth.

Annabeth covered her mouth and shook her head. "Urgh... I don't know. I probably ate too much spicy food two days ago. It's messing up my stomach... I've been retching frequently over the past two days..." "What did you eat?" Josh frowned slightly.

"Noodles with seafood... I had the extra spicy version... So it's probably that," Annabeth said.

While speaking, the nauseous feeling in her stomach disappeared.

Annabeth felt normal again.

"Don't eat something spicy like that next time, alright?" Josh said with a serious expression before gently placing his hand on her back. He carefully rubbed her back...

His hand seemed to carry with it a strong electric current. Suddenly, Annabeth's entire body tingled, and her heart rate increased.

Annabeth's heart was beating wildly. She felt so nervous that she didn't dare to move at all.

"You should eat spicy food in moderation... Eating too much of it will harm your stomach," Josh added.

Annabeth nodded like an obedient middle school kid.

Beep, beep-

Right then, her phone's menstruation monitoring application sent her a reminder.

It reminded Annabeth that her menstruation had been delayed by twenty days and that she needed to pay attention to her body.

When Annabeth saw this reminder, she instantly felt as if she had been struck by lightning...

Her menstruation had been delayed by twenty days. On top of that, she felt nauseous and was retching...

This...

Could she be pregnant?

On the day she had sex with Josh, she took contraceptive pills afterward...

Logically speaking, this shouldn't have happened...

However, if she wasn't pregnant, why would her usually fixed menstruation cycle be delayed for so long?

Annabeth had been too busy recently to pay attention to her menstruation cycle.

Hence, she had completely forgotten about when her menstruation ought to happen.

If it weren't for the application's reminder, she still wouldn't have realized that her menstruation hadn't occurred for a long time.

Annabeth immediately broke into a cold sweat when she thought about these things...

In the next second, her face turned pale.

The probability of contraceptive pills failing was minimal. However, could Annabeth have been unlucky enough to be affected by this?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt.

After all, nothing was impossible in this world.

"Why don't we go to the hospital? Does it feel very uncomfortable?" Josh immediately asked when he noticed the frantic look in Annabeth's eyes.
