Chapter 378 - One of those strange girl things (1/2)
”What does that mean?” Sophia whispered.
”It means I'm going to be an aunt!” JoAnna whispered back excitedly.
This came as a shock to Sophia. ”You are kidding!” She exclaimed.
”Why would I do that? Look for yourself!” JoAnna gestured at the pregnancy test.
Sophia walked to it and looked down. It had one word on display: 'Pregnant'.
”How accurate is this?” Sophia was shocked and could not process the information.
”If it's after your missed period, it's over 99%. But let's be sure... dress up. Let's go to LA Medical Center for a blood test. That is 100% accurate.” JoAnna rushed to her closet to change.
Few minutes later, JoAnna was dressed up, Sophia was still standing in the bathroom, staring at the test.
”Why are you still here? Go dress up!” JoAnna pushed Sophia out of the bathroom toward the guest bedroom.
Sophia was ready shortly after. She was still in a daze, slightly frightened.
JoAnna was about to open the door, when she remembered, ”Oh, call Leah to cancel your meetings. I will cancel with the realtor lady.”
…
At the LA Medical center, JoAnna is with Sophia in the resting room for nurses. They are waiting for results of Sophia's blood work.
JoAnna rubbed her hands excitedly. ”Julian said it will be ready in about half an hour. Oh! I feel like I'm going to jump out of my skin!”
JoAnna looked at Sophia and frowned. ”You don't seem to be happy about this... What is going on?”
Sophia sighed. ”I don't know. Should I be happy? Felix's mother hates me, and things with Felix are not so great either. I don't think this is right timing.”
JoAnna held Sophia's hand. ”You should not care about his mother. Felix made it clear that he will stay by your side no matter what she thinks... And about things between Felix and you, you told me yourself that it's because of you. Pregnancy causes hormonal changes, which cause mood swings. It's not that you love him less, but you are pregnant.” JoAnna tilted her head making Sophia look at her. ”Both of you are responsible adults with good careers and you love each other. What else do you need?”
”What if I'm not pregnant?”
”I think you are... and my intuition is more accurate than any test!” JoAnna grinned.
Sophia took a deep breath and showed a nervous smile. ”Let's wait to see the results.''
JoAnna got a text message from Jeff: ”Why are you in the hospital?”
JoAnna frowned. ”Just a minute” She squeezed through her teeth and walked to the door. She got out and glared at two bodyguards who were standing in the hallway nearby. ”I thought we agreed not to tell Jeff where I am.”
Bodyguards glanced at each other before one spoke, ”Miss Hill, Mr. White told us that if we don't inform him of any location change, we will lose our jobs.”
JoAnna scrutinized them for few seconds. ”If you keep on squealing like this, I will make sure you lose your jobs. This is your last warning!” She said through her teeth.
Both bodyguards nodded vigorously.
JoAnna headed back while thinking when will Bob1 and Bob2 come back from their other assignment. She texted Jeff back. ”I'm with Sophia for a checkup. Don't tell Felix, OK? If it's anything serious, she will tell him.”
