"Miss Smith, you're pregnant."
The doctor's words were filled with a thunder clap, making the sleepy Nora Smith's eyes to widen suddenly in shock. "….what?!"
How could this be?!
Although she was nineteen years old, she had never been intimate with anyone of the opposite s*x.
However, the doctor handed her the medical report. "You're already in your fourth month of pregnancy. You're not in good health, so you won't be able to surgically induce labor. You can only choose to give birth to the child".
Nora returned home in a daze. After her father gave a stern scolding, he searched the surveillance cameras, only to find that four months ago, she was indeed staying at home obediently due to poor health and hadn't gone out at all.
However, outsiders didn't believe it. Everyone secretly mocked her.
"Her belly is already so big, yet she is still giving excuses and saying that she didn't stray with some man. The Grays are so pitiful. Why do they have to be engaged to such a person?!"
"She has been fat and ugly from the start, and neither is her family background very good. It was a few lifetimes worth of blessings the she could climb the social ladder by javing a connection with the Grays. Now that she's gotten herself pregnant before the wedding, surely the Grays will break off the engagement, right?"
Amid all the speculations, Anthony Gray paid the Smiths a visit.
At that time, Nora's stomach was already beginning to show. At eight months of pregnancy, her belly was big enough to cover her toes.
In the study, Nora's father asked cautiously, "Anthony, are you thinking of breaking off the engagement?"
Anthony gave an unexpected answer: "…No, my grandfather refuses to".
The Grays were a top class, rich and powerful family while they, the Smiths, were just middle class. Even if they took the opportunity to break off the engagement, no one would be able to criticize the Grays for it. By refusing to break off the engagement, what were they after?
The more Anthony thought about it, the angrier he became. He cursed irritable, "The sight of her pig-like face already disgusted me from the start, and now she's even pregnant with someone else's child. Why should I be the hero to take over the responsibility?"
Nora's father immediately said, "Don't worry Anthony, I'll send the baby away immediately after she gives birth".
Nora who had kept quiet all this time, suddenly raised her head and said, "No"
In the past few months, she had gone from hesitating to being at a loss, and then to a state of reluctantly accepting reality. She could feel her child's heartbeat more and more clearly as each day passes, and she had already long since developed feelings for it.
The child was innocent. They mustn't abandon it.
She wanted an annulment!
But it was at this exact moment that she suddenly felt waves of pain and convulsions in her lower abdomen. This….she was about to go into labor!!
