Aaron pretended to be embarrassed. “Why me? I’m still a virgin. It’ll be so awkward for me to buy that kind of
thing!”
Both Xante and Corinne were speechless.
Aaron was only trying to be funny to liven up the atmosphere but it did not work as bothxo.com fast update
Xante and Corinne were looking at him with disgust and with their mouths in a tight line.
He immediately dropped the act and shrugged. “Okay, okay. I’ll go get the pregnancy test. Huh! I can’t believe that
1, the owner of the Newmoon Group, am being ordered around like a little scullery maid. Sigh! What has become of
my life!”
Xante gave him a side-eye and said nothing else as Aaron continued with his blabbering. She then started the car
engine and drove to the nearest drugstore. While driving, she kept looking up at the rearview mirror to check on

‘She doesn’t look too well after all that retching she did moments ago,’ thought Xante with at worried frown on her
face.
Corinne was indeed not well. Recently, she burned candles at both ends in coming up with a design for Holden
Group’s new building. She did not rest much even though she spent most of her days cooped up at home.
Moreover, she seemed to feel tired easily to the point she suspected she might be suffering from chronic fatigue
syndrome.
Aaron pointed to a drugstore outside the window and said, “Xante, we just passed by a drugstore. Why didn’t you
stop the car?”
The more Xante thought about it, the more worried she became. “I think it’s best if I bring the boss to the hospital
for a checkup,” she said solemnly.
“Did you forget that the boss hates going to the hospital?” asked Aaron quizzically.
“She’ll only need to do a blood test and that won’t take long,” insisted Xante. She looked at Corinne from the
rearview mirror and said, “Boss, you should go to the hospital. You don’t look that well. You should do a check-up
even if you don’t think you’re pregnant. Besides, what if it’s an ectopic pregnancy? It’ll be easier to treat if it’s
detected earlier.”
The corners of Corinne’s lips twitched uncontrollably. ‘I’m pretty sure I’m not pregnant and yet here she is worrying
that it might be an ectopic pregnancy? Indeed my period hasn’t come for two months straight.”
Corinne was not sure whether her period schedule was messed up from stress or if she got pregnant that night. In
the end, she gave in to Xante’s and Aaron’s nagging and agreed to do a blood test at the hospital.
In the hospital’s OB-GYN department.
The OB-GYN specialist looked down at the blood test result and said solemnly, ” Congratulations, You’re seven
weeks pregnant and the fetus is developing very well.”
Corinne was stunned at the discovery. She subconsciously touched her belly and thought, ‘I’m seven weeks

Xante stayed calm at the news, but Aaron was tearing up excitedly. His emotions were all over the place as he said,
“My god! I’m going to be-”
The OB-GYN specialist immediately gave him a fierce look. “Can the dad please be quiet? This is a hospital after all.
You must not disturb the other patients.”
Aaron laughed and quickly explained, “Doctor, you’re mistaken. I’m not the father. I was going to be an uncle!”
The doctor frowned and said, “Why are you so excited if you’re not the father? Where’s the father anyway?”
At the mention of the baby’s father, Corinne blushed. “He’s on an overseas business trip and doesn’t know about
this yet.”
The OB-GYN specialist sighed and said pointedly, “I’ll let it slide this time but he must accompany you on all future
visits. Men! How can they leave all the birthing to the women? No matter how busy they are with work, they should
still accompany their wives to the hospital for a check-up!”
Corinne nodded. “Yes, you’re right, doctor. Thank you for
your advice.”
