Chapter 673 - We Can Do This (1/2)

Sayuri kept staring at the two red lines, then that pregnancy test kit away into the dustbin beside her. Reaching into her bag, she took out another one.

After a few minutes, the same result came out.

Sayuri clutched the kit and sighed, then threw it into the dustbin.

Taking several deep breaths, she washed up and flushed the toilet.

She stood there, looking as the water swirled and disappear before the toilet bowl was refilled again. She looked at the dustbin beside it, now filled with nine discarded pregnancy test kits, all with those glaring red lines staring at her.

She sat on the toilet seat, looking at the eight discarded pregnancy test kits and sighed yet again.

Then, she looked at her still flat stomach and knew, it wouldn't be long before a slight bump would appear.

It had been nearly three months since they returned, so it was a miracle in itself that she wasn't showing yet. She is either in the last stages of her first trimester, or already in the second trimester.

Too late for an abortion.

Not that she was ever thinking of getting one.

She gingerly touched her stomach.

Inside, was a life.

She would need to see the doctor soon and get a check-up.

This was so unexpected, though, in hindsight, it shouldn't have been.

Although the pill was the most effective contraceptive method, it wasn't perfect. Even with correct use, it was only effective 99.7% - which meant that there was 1 woman in 100 that would get pregnant in a year.

She just happened to be that 'one' woman.

Stroking her stomach, there was a smile on Sayuri's face.

”You really wanted to come into this world, huh?” she whispered. She could already imagine the life inside of her.

Hers and Kyle's.

Her heart swelled with intense love at the thought of this little miracle within her. He, or she, was truly a miracle.

With her condition, it was already hard enough to get pregnant. Added to that, she was on the pill.

Yet, against all odds, she is.

She wondered when the baby had been conceived.

She had never missed a day in taking the pill, although, perhaps, there had been times that the timing she had taken them may not have been within the 3-hour window.

One was supposed to take the pill at exactly the same time. However, with the amount of traveling that she did, the timing may not have been accurate.

Whatever the reason, the point is, she is pregnant.

How was she going to tell her Uncle and Grandfather?

The last thing she wanted was to have them go into a hissy-fit and insist on Kyle marrying her. She didn't want that.

She also knew that Kyle would probably marry her out of a sense of duty or honour, because of the baby. She didn't want that either.

She wanted Kyle to actually want to marry her, because of her, and not because of the baby.

Perhaps she was being foolish.

Why not have him with her, no matter what the reason?
