The doctor glared at her and was amused. She asked him what is written in the result? "Ms Mo, you can check it out" the doctor replied politely.
Theresa fearfully tore it open and glanced at it. Her hand shivered. That was when Theresa knew she'd been sweating. Her blouse was soaking in sweat as she held the result in her hand.
Her tears ran down her cheeks. This is what she has been afraid of. The reality stares at her in the face.
" You are six weeks pregnant ma'am" the doctor stated. He stared at her and knew she wasn't ready for the pregnancy.
Rather than Theresa answering or saying something, she closed her eyes momentarily and her tears ran down her beautiful face.
The doctor looked at her and from the study of psychology, he knew she was bitter and the thought of being pregnant had only added to their present predicament.
"Do you want an abortion? But the man who got you pregnant needs to sign"the doctor advised. She still has the option of aborting the babies.
"I don't know the man,"Theresa blotted out. She immediately regretted it. She shouldn't have let him know what happened to her.
The doctor squinted. This is not part of his job but he seemed concerned about her. Why was he going to the extreme for her?
"The more reason why you should abort the pregnancy"the doctor advised more. He felt pity for the lady. No wonder her hand shivered when she was about to open the envelope that contained the result.
Theresa Mo thanked him and said she would sleep over it and then whatever she thinks would be good for her she would do.
"Feel free to reach out to me"the doctor said and offered her his complimentary card. Reluctantly Theresa Mo accepted the card and went away.
She hailed a taxi quickly and went away. She doesn't want anyone to see her in the hospital premises.
What is she going to do now? She doesn't know the man who got her pregnant nor is she financially buoyant enough to take care of herself and her unborn baby.
That evening, the doctor called Theresa Mo again and told her he would like to see her that evening at the 'City Restaurant'. He pleaded and Theresa agreed to meet him by 8:00pm.
Two days later, Rosa returned from the grocery store and he went to call Theresa out of her room.
She had persuaded her to come along with her to the grocery store but she refused. She quite understands that she doesn't want any member of Mo's family to also see Lu's.
She would be resuming work the next morning, hence they needed to talk about how her first day at work was going to look like.
She had only worked in Mo's business. She hadn't really worked elsewhere and she needed someone to tell her how it was to be an employee.
Rosa dialled Theresa Mo's mobile number and it was switched off. She waited for a while before she decided to check her in the guest room.
But Rosa got in and didn't meet Theresa.she felt something wasn't right. Why does she feel the room is deserted?
Theresa went out? Why didn't she come along with her? Well, she would wait till she returns.
A message beeped into her phone and Rosa checked it when she saw it was from Theresa.
She was dazed when she read the content of the message. She sank into the bed and started sobbing.
Why didn't she confide in her before taking the steps she took? Was she complaining about accommodating her?
Her Mum and brother had no problem with Theresa living with them. Why then did she do what she did? Rosa was sobbing.
She didn't know how long she stayed in the guest room but went out when she heard her mother arrive.
When Rosa's mother saw her daughter, she was surprised. Rosa has been crying for a while now. What happened to her?
She went to her daughter and placed her hands on her shoulder and forced her to look at her in the face.
"What's making you sob Rosa? You can tell your mother and I promise to help you in any little way I can" her mother coaxed her.
She didn't say anything but handed her phone to her mother to look at the content of the message Rosaline sent
Rosa's mother collected the phone and read the contents of the message. Her eyes became dark and she glanced at her daughter.
What kind of a message was this?
What does Theresa Mo mean by her actions and the message she sent. Why would she think so unhealthy about them?Rosa's mother became sobered. Has she done something that makes Theresa feel uncomfortable? Or had she said anything that made her feel unwelcome?For the rest of that day, Rosa, her mother and brother were unhappy. They never expected that things would end this way or that Theresa would one day leave them without a genuine reason for doing that.Four years laterTheresa Mo walked out of the airport in a blue suit and pants. She wore dark glasses and h
Rosa's mother knew Theresa was going to tell them things after the kids fell asleep. She was not surprised when she saw Rosa and Theresa walk out hand in hand.Theresa sat down and Rosa opposite her. Rosa's brother Hong had gone out for a computer game with his friends."I'll never stop thanking you Aunt and Rosa for being my support in the darkest hour of my life. I never thought there would be a time that I will experience such thick darkness in my life like I had four years ago.I discovered I was pregnant when I went to the hospital to check up. I didn't know what to do at the time. I don't have money,no job and I don't know the one who got me pregnant.But the doctor who attended to me took it upon himself
Lu Jingli was unhappy. They've been married for four years and he has not stopped giving her his body just to see her pregnant. But he can no longer continue and needed to rest a while."Why have you been ignoring me? We need to be intimate more at this period when we need a child"Tiana Mo coaxed.This shouldn't be the time Lu Jingli be estranged from her especially now that she needed him the most."Are you going to force me if I choose to ignore you? I want to sleep and I don't like being disturbed"Lu Jingli snapped at her.If she keeps pestering him, he would leave the room and never return that night. What's the use of wasting his manliness on a woman who has nothing to show for it
Lu Jingli was shocked and his hands shivered. This is his ex wife Theresa Mo. She looked happy with her friends. She was dishing her meal into her mouth with the chopsticks so that she didn't notice that some people were staring at her.The waiter came and took Lu Jingli's order and his mother. But the latter became muddle headed after seeing Theresa Mo.He had tried finding her and locating her for many months until he finally gave up. He concluded she had done something to hurt herself or left the country.But where was she going to get the money to take a flight out of the country. She was left without a penny and not allowed to take a needle out of the house.But seeing her now, she looked gorgeous and beau
Lu Jingli didn't answer his mother in another word. He started the ignition and zoomed off. He dropped his mother off before returning to the company.All those comments about him and his mother a while ago resurfaced in his memory. It was all Tiana's fault.If she hadn't gone to report him to his mother, he wouldn't have had to meet his mother for lunch in that restaurant and he wouldn't have seen Theresa Mo as well.He can't stop thinking about Theresa Mo at the moment. That woman has become more beautiful and matured. She carried that special attractiveness that he had never seen in her.Was she married already? Had she been out of the country? He wants to see her again and get things strai
Next day, Theresa Mo got her kids dressed up and ready for school. It's going to be their first day in school and her first day in Office.She looked at the boy's and they looked great in their school uniforms. They're three years and a half years old but have the brain and smartness of a ten year old."Are you going to accompany us to school?"Lee Mo asked. He was going to kindergarten in his former school until his mother told him and his brother that they were returning to their country and started another school."Of course darling, I will drop you off at school and return to pick you home"Theresa Mo answered and kissed his temple. She planted a featherlight kiss on Tim's temple as well before walking them out into the car.
The last person Theresa Mo ever expected to meet at the kindergarten was Tiana Mo. Theresa Mo glanced at her briefly before walking past her to get her kids.Tiana Mo was surprised. She wasn't expecting that Theresa Mo would be in a place like the kindergarten as well.She has finally come out of her hiding. Perhaps she had encountered Lu Jingli and been begging him with her body.Her husband and Theresa Mo have been having affairs. He was making love to her and was moaning Theresa's name. Oh, she understands everything perfectly.She had Lu Jingli all day and only comes home to say he is not interested in doing it with her. She has to warn Theresa to stay away from her husband.
A week passed and Lanre and Rosa were getting more intimate. He was sure now that he loves Rosa alot and the latter loves him too.But she's still feeling uncomfortable with the fact that he hadn't said a word of their feelings for each other to Theresa Mo.And Rosa was becoming guilty to call or go and see Theresa. What if she hurts her over Lanre will she be able to ever forgive her?Lanre then Promised her he would have a word with Theresa Mo that weekend and inform her about their new found love.As promised, Theresa Mo took her kids round the city.
