Chapter 278 Morning sickness (2/2)
Lexi searched the date she had last had her menstruation period. After a few swipes from last month, her heart shook and pounded louder and faster every month that remained unchecked and missed.
One month ago... no record.
Two months ago... still no record.
Three months ago... there was a record. However, it was only a day of bleeding. Or rather, as far as she could remember, it was only half a day and it was just a small spot of red.
Lexi stared at her phone screen for a long time in a daze. She didn't even notice when her phone went black because her mind wandered somewhere else.
”No, that's impossible...” After some time, Lexi slowly shook her head sideways and exited the calendar app. Instead of reading a business article like usual, Lexi went to her phone's browser and searched: ”Signs of Pregnancy.”
It only took a second to display the thousands of search results. Her thumb trembled, hesitating if she should click the first article or not.
She was afraid.
Lexi bit her lower lip as she tightly shut her eyes closed and her thumb tapped the first article that showed on the results. Lexi slowly opened her eyes— halfway— just enough to read all the symptoms.
”Tender/swollen breast...” The first sign made Lexi cup her breast but was relieved that her breast seemed normal or what she had believed. After all, her nipples might be a little painful at times but she believed that it was normal.
”Fatigue, sensitivity to smell, food aversion or cravings...” Upon reading these, her expression slightly brightened as she, for all she knew, had not experienced this so far. Hence, her nervousness about being pregnant marginally reduced. However, the next series of symptoms made her heart conflicted.
”Nausea with or without vomiting, headaches, mood swings, missed period, or just feeling pregnant— Ugh, no, no...” She nearly broke down as half of the signs were correct while the rest, she hadn't experienced them yet.
She might have lost her mind as she sat there thinking on if she was pregnant or not with the numbers of signs she experienced or not but to no avail, the count was a draw— a tie.
”This is impossible... I can't get pregnant just yet.” Grumbling, Lexi tossed her phone on the side leading it to drop to the floor. Yet, she could not even care less as her mind was filled with what if's.
Just then, just as Lexi was arguing with herself if she should try a pregnancy test or not for the meantime, her brows creased upon hearing a faint noise coming from downstairs.
”Huh? Did Ethan came back?” All her thoughts regarding pregnancy was put to the side as Lexi dragged herself out of the room. Little did she know that she would receive the shock of her life— much more shocking than the revelations last night.
