When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1713 Are You Pregnant

Finished

Cecilia hadn't arrived yet, and Vivian sat in her chair, bored out of her mind. With a sigh, she muttered, "Ugh, this is so frustrating. Why isn't Ceci here yet?"

Zachary glanced at her. "What's there to be annoyed about? If you're bored, why don't you and Jon go for a walk?"

"I'm not going. Can't be bothered," Vivian replied, irritation clear in her tone.

Zachary had noticed that her temper had been getting worse lately. Jonathan, who was nearby, had picked up on it too. Nudging her lightly, he asked, "Ms. Kennedy, are you feeling okay?"

Lately, Vivian had been eating less, and her patience had been wearing thin. She would lose her temper over the smallest things.noveldrama

Vivian blinked in surprise. "I'm fine. I feel great.”

A thought suddenly struck Jonathan. While Zachary was busy talking to the doctor, he seized the opportunity to step closer to Vivian. Lowering his voice, he asked, "Ms. Kennedy, is there a chance you're pregnant?"

He had a strong feeling about it-her mood swings and physical state were exactly like his mother's when she had been newly pregnant with his younger brothers.

Vivian's mind went blank for a moment. "What kind of nonsense is that?" she scoffed. "I'm not pregnant. Don't talk rubbish."

"Oh." Jonathan noted her unusually strong reaction, which only made him more certain of his suspicions.

But something puzzled him-pregnancy was a good thing, so why was Vivian hiding it?

If Old Mr. Sinclair found out, he'd surely be overjoyed.

Still, Jonathan was perceptive enough to realize that she didn't want to talk about it, so he kept quiet and didn't press the issue.

Not long after, Cecilia arrived, and the moment she stepped in, Vivian immediately approached her. "Ceci."

"Vivian, you're here too?" Cecilia's voice held a trace of pleasant surprise.

"Yeah. "Vivian nodded. "Zachary mentioned you were coming for a follow-up today to check on your ear's recovery, so I asked him to bring me along."

Then, gently pulling Cecilia aside, she turned to Nathaniel. "We'll have a private chat first, then we'll do the check-up."

Nathaniel gave no response, merely observing the interaction.

Once they reached a quiet spot, Vivian couldn't hold back her worries any longer. "Cecilia, early pregnancy is exhausting. No matter what I eat, I throw up. Certain smells make me nauseous, and I don't feel like eating at all these days."

"Did you tell Zachary and the others?" Cecilia asked.

"Vivian, do you want to keep the baby?"

Finished

Vivian gave a small hum of acknowledgment. "Ever since I saw Cassandra's daughter, Dahlia, at the hospital, I've been thinking about keeping the baby. I just can't bring myself to abandon them."

At first, she hadn't felt much about the pregnancy. But as time passed, she kept thinking about the ultrasound she had gotten, and the idea of letting go became harder and harder.

"If you've made up your mind, it's best to tell the Sinclairs," Cecilia advised.

Vivian sighed. "You know, there was never any love between Zachary and me. The only reason we got married was that his grandfather insisted on it. He liked me and pushed for the marriage. I was getting older, and with my family pressuring me to settle down, I ended up with him. If I tell them about the pregnancy now, I'm afraid of what might happen after the baby is born."

Cecilia understood immediately. "You're worried that since your marriage doesn't have a strong foundation, if you two divorce in the future, the Sinclair family might fight you for custody? Or that the child might get hurt, and you wouldn't know how to handle it?"

Vivian nodded.

"But have you considered," Cecilia continued, "that even if you hide this now and somehow have the child on your own, the baby would still grow up without a father?"
