Chapter 90 Could they be twins?

On checking the strip, it was truly negative. "But it's not a hundred percent reliable. I will take another test." With that, she took another test which came out negative and all her uncertainties flashed away. It's not that Bella didn't want to get pregnant. She so much wanted to but at the right time when both are ready and have reached mutual consent. At first, she had planned on getting pregnant so as to trick him in falling for her but now it was unnecessary since both had mutual feelings.

"I really have to remind Ethan on using protection. I can't risk ever again," she said and it was then that Luna also remembered that they also no longer used protection. She really had to be careful. "Yes. I think the delay in your period was because you're stressed and it's probably about work. Bella, you should relax. Don't over exert yourself." "Yeah, I will. By the way did my advise work? He forgave you right?" she asked. "Yes, we are okay now," answered Luna.

After the chat, Bella took a mental note of visiting a gynecologist the next morning for final confirmation as well as to check why the delay in her period.

The next day at Howells mansion, Elena approached her parents who were in the sitting room to talk to them. "Oh Elena dear, you finally decided to take a rest today? How are you dear?" asked Mrs Howells the moment she saw her approaching. "I'm fine Mom. Yes, I decided to rest today. Work was so stressing," she answered as she sat down on the couch opposite them. "You don't have to work so much Elena. The company has so many people and perhaps you've already proven that you can handle the company," this time it was Mr Howells who spoke. "I know Dad, it's just that I still have a lot of future prospects for the company so I can't just sit and relax," she answered. "I understand dear but you should also be mindful of your health," Mrs Howells.

"I will keep that in mind. I wanted to talk to you about something. I overheard your conversation with Grandma last time and first I want to apologise. I didn't mean to eavesdrop your conversation, I just happened to hear it. The thing is I also want to help in looking for your daughter," she said.

"That's so sweet of you Elena. But you're also our daughter so she's your sister," said Mrs Howells. "Yes, my sister. I honestly feel guilty because all these years, I'm having everything that belongs to her," she said in a sad voice.

After a moment of silence, Mr Howells spoke," You shouldn't say that. It was not your fault. But how will you conduct the search if you are at the same time handling the company? I think it will be much for you to handle."

"No Dad. I have planned the strategies I'm using. I am going to send adverts to all media companies in Blue City and also here in SunCity. I don't know why but I have strong faith that it will work. And if it doesn't, I will think of new strategies," she said. "But we went to all media companies for years but nothing worked," said Mrs Howells. "We have to try over and over again. We shouldn't lose hope," she told them to which they nodded.

Back to Graham, he was in office when Vikram came in with an envelope. After handing it to him, he opened and looked at the information then the photographs attached and he hummed in understanding before saying," So, Luna is a Howells. How interesting." No wonder the old woman fainted after looking at her face. She looks exactly like Mrs Howells. "Yes, but on closer look, she is of the same age with Elena Howells. Could they be twins?" asked Vikram.

"I don't think so. There's no way she resembles my Luna. I think it's something else," said Graham. "Should I perhaps investigate more?" "No, leave it. I have gotten what I wanted to know." "Are you going to tell Miss Luna?" he asked. "No, she doesn't want to know and perhaps, why tell people who abandoned her? If they want to meet her, they should look for her," he said as he placed the information back in the envelope. "How is Abigail?" he asked. "She's fine. She's so busy with the wedding preparations." answered Vikram. He then saw Graham tightly clutching his head while he deeply creased his brows and asked," Are you fine Graham?" "Yes. I have been getting this throbbing headache once in a while these days," he said. "Should I call the doctor?" "No. It is soon going away. Just get me some water." Vikram brought him a glass of water and he gulped it in one go.

After taking a deep breath, he said," I'm fine now." "I still think you need to visit the doctor," said Vikram. "I will get time and go."
