It was as if Jessica's soul was pulled out of her body after she heard her mother's unilateral decision, and even after her mother hung up the phone call, she blankly stared at the void in front of her as her hand tightly gripped her phone. "What is it?" Finally, the silence in the car was broken by a deep voice. The voice was too familiar to Jessica's ears, and there were only the two of them in the car, that's why she didn't need to turn to look at her husband while voicing an answer, "My mom won't come with us to the hospital. She has other plans for today.” She answered her husband honestly, but her husband seemed dissatisfied as he replied, “That's not the thing that managed to shock you, right? What did your mother say besides the sudden change of plans today?” This time, Noah was quite sensitive to changes in Jessica's mood, and that was actually a rare occurrence because usually, the brown-haired man was too cold to understand her mood. However, Jessica was not happy even
It felt like someone poured a bucket of ice over her head on a cold day. It felt like someone sprinkled salt right on a fresh wound in her heart. Jessica didn't want to appear dramatic and didn't want to be influenced anymore by her husband and his boyfriend's relationship. However, she still felt unhappy when her husband continued to show how much he loved his boyfriend when he was with her. 'In his eyes, I'm not his wife and just an insignificant passerby. Why should he care about my feelings?' She could only lament to herself when she realized her position. She didn't even respond to her husband in the end, and luckily, it didn't take them long to get to the hospital after Noah's car turned away from the direction of her parents' house. The hospital was on the periphery of Brooklyn, quite close to her parents' house, and that was why her father stayed there not long ago. Maybe that was the reason her mother made an appointment with a doctor at that hospital. They had already m
“If you're not satisfied with the results, we can do a blood test, Mrs. Brooks. However, the test will take longer to find out the results, and you will have to wait. But I need to tell you that both urine and blood tests have the same purpose of checking HCG in your body. For your information, HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy and appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception. In conclusion, the two tests have the same purpose, and it's okay if you only choose one," once again the doctor explained, and Jessica immediately shook her head in response. "I think a urine test is enough, Doctor," Jessica answered verbally. “For some reason, I'm sure I'm not pregnant, so another test isn't necessary at this time.” The doctor smiled slightly before replying, “If that is your decision, I will not oppose it. After all, women's instincts are something we can't ignore, and if you don't think you're pregnant, chances are you're not actually pregn
Could it be considered luck that Noah was willing to take an infertility test? Even the doctor was surprised by the man's boldness, and she did not immediately respond to what he said. Maybe she thought that men were usually too arrogant and would refuse this kind of test that doubted their ability to impregnate women. However, it seemed like she was facing a different case when Noah voluntarily wanted to take the test as his mother-in-law wanted. However, after the doctor recovered from her shock, she then advised Noah to see a urologist to get more information about the test. However, she briefly explained what kind of tests a urologist might suggest he do, "I'm not an expert on male reproductive organs, but perhaps a test you could do is a semen analysis, and the purpose of that analysis is to check for problems with the sperm, such as a low sperm count or sperm that doesn't move well. If you have decided, then the nurse will help you arrange an appointment with a urologist, and t
It was true that Tyler suddenly grabbed her hand when she was about to take her bag, but then the man seemed to flinch in surprise before quickly withdrawing his hand while muttering, "Sorry." It was a gentle apology from the black-haired man, and Jessica knew that he wasn't trying to touch her hand on purpose. Instead, he just wanted to help her carry her bag, but he was slower than her in reaching the handle of the bag. In the end, it was Jessica who held the bag in her hand, and she didn't even respond to the man's apology as she walked quietly into the apartment. 'Why do I always get caught in awkward situations with this dude?' Jessica complained to herself as she walked past the man and continued into the apartment. She wasn't even sure if she was the only one who felt uncomfortable being alone with her husband's boyfriend. It all started two weeks ago when the guy had just told her about how she kissed him the night before, and Jessica started to feel uncomfortable around h
Jessica definitely still held a grudge against Tyler, and that was the reason why her second question was full of sarcasm. The word “shamelessly” was very fitting for a homewrecker, and she still thought he was a homewrecker even though she knew that the two of them were already in a relationship before she married her husband. “It's true that I don't have a place to live,” the answer came from Tyler. “I admit that I'm just a freeloader here, and Noah even needed to help me find a job so that I wouldn't be unemployed for a long time. I'm indeed shameless here.” Suddenly, Jessica remembered the memory of Noah telling her about Tyler's dark past, and she could also see the darkness on his face when he answered her question. 'He doesn't look angry, but he looks embarrassed instead,' she thought to herself. When Jessica saw the expression that was mixed with shame and sadness, she didn't want to bully the man anymore, and she just continued what she was doing by arranging her things on
A month ago, Noah had revealed everything in front of her. He honestly said that he had been in a relationship with Tyler since they were in college, but Jessica never tried to imagine how the two of them fell in love with each other so deeply at such a young age. Why should she try to imagine that moment? That kind of thing would only hurt her more, and that was why Jessica refused to think too much about it. Unfortunately, she was forced to go on a painful journey into both people's pasts after finding a mysterious box under Noah's bed. It was like her soul was taken from her body before being transported to the past of the two people, and she could see how the two people had loved each other for more than a decade. From the Polaroid photos she found in the box, she could see moments from the two men's past, such as their college days judging by how young the two of them looked in the photos. Some of the photos were taken outdoors, while the rest were taken indoors. If she had on
Some mothers in this world are like that. When they had a daughter who was still single, they would urge their daughter to find a man and start a family as soon as possible. After their daughter got married, the mother then would ask: “When will you get pregnant and give me grandchildren?” Jessica often heard this story from her married colleagues. These women often complained that they were pressured by their mothers, and if they did not comply with their mothers' wishes, their mothers would try anything to get them pregnant. Before her father suddenly said that he wanted a grandchild from her as soon as possible, she had never received such pressure, but everything changed after her father suddenly acted as if he would die tomorrow and voiced his last wish in front of her. Of course, this made Jessica depressed, but she was more stressed by her mother who was more vocal than her father when it came to getting her pregnant quickly. “You still remember that I went out with my old
