She was not disappointed either, for the signal became stronger when she entered."How are you, aunt?" "Did you hear what I said?""I did hear you. "How come, aunt?"She could hear her cough. "Why are you not responding?" "I called you several times a while ago!" she said, and Mallory winced because hearing her voice hurt her."I apologize, aunt. I'm at a meeting and need to turn off the phone because I'm inside. "How come, aunty?" She inquired one more."Are you okay, aunt?" she asked again after hearing her aunt cough.She could hear her coughing again. "That's why I was called; I've had this cough for a few days; not only me, but your Uncle and Nora are coughing as well; that's why Jenny and I stay away first, and your sister may become infected."Mallory couldn't help but sigh. "Auntie, have you had your checkup? Take a look at it, especially Nora, to check if it's what it appears to be.""That's why I called; I'm going to request a check-up." You're aware of our predicament; we'r
"Impossible," she murmured, shaking her head and continuing to stare at Kerly. "We're being cautious; additionally, I'm taking pills."Kerly was heartbroken. "Girl, nothing is impossible right now, isn't it?" Because you are not in menopause, it is feasible even if you are taking medication. You will become pregnant regardless of how cautious you are. If you become pregnant, you will become pregnant. Birth contraception is no longer 100 percent effective. If you don't take one, you're almost certainly pregnant."When Luke hardens inside you, the condom is punctured. So, it appears that our boss will soon have a son." Kerly told her"Oh, it appears that you are the one who requires a heart-to-heart, so what? "Shall we meet later and talk about this?"Mallory shook her head and smiled narrowly."Perhaps not. Then my period is not late; I am familiar with my body." She persuaded Kerly, even if she was unsure herself."Mallory? wait? "What's the problem here?" Luke inquired, peering throu
She shook her head, saying, "Don't think about it; I'm not sure yet.""What is uncertain?" Luke inquired, and she turned to face him. He dropped the document he was reading while seated on the swivel chair.Her mind was racing; she had forgotten she was at work since she was so preoccupied with her thoughts."Ahh, nothing." She smiled only seldom."What exactly is it?" "Come on, tell me," he murmured to her, letting go of the paper in his hand totally."I'm not sure what you mean. "Are you saying nothing?""None," she added, adding that she's not sure if Jenny will have a cesarean. She stated that if the baby is large, she may need another cesarean. I'm just concerned. It's a touch heavy on the cesarean pocket just because it's a regular birth.""Is that correct?" Luke questioned, sighing. He opened his desk drawer momentarily, took out an envelope, and handed it to her. Mallory, surprisingly, took it and peeked inside. She noticed that the envelop
"Gosh, just kiss me and you're paid." He laughed."You're really, really bad.""When are you going to be home?" "I'm missing you." Luke told her to keep the smiles on Mallory's lips from disappearing."It's almost as if we haven't seen each other in less than 24 hours, huh?" "Do you miss me right away?" he asked, pinching his lower lip."Sure, I can't have anyone next to me," it added, laughing. "So? Are you leaving tonight? I'll meet you at the terminal.""Sorry, but not yet" Mallory said, shaking her head. Actually, I'd like to take at least three days off. If that's all right?""3 days? That's a long time!" he supposedly complained. "I just saw you, miss; do you want three days?"Mallory grinned, her cheeks flushed from the joy he is feeling. "Only three days left.""2 days.""What? "Are you still bargaining?"On the other end of the telephone, he could hear Luke laughing."Do you think it's my fault that I miss you?" It was you who taught me to be there. Probably not me; it will p
"How are you, Doc?" My colleague and I are cautious. "Did I also take pills?" Mallory attempted to persuade the doctor."Do you do it on time?" "No tablet missed?" inquired the doctor.She only remembers missing one day of drinking. And should it be delivered on time? drinking? She has no idea."There was a time when I didn't drink, but after that day, it continued even when I wasn't drinking.""Does your partner use protection when you have sex even though you're taking the pill?" The doctor inquired once again.Mallory shook her head, and the doctor smiled sparingly."Pills should be taken at the same time every day." And you can only skip drinking once before sex develops. If you don't drink on time and continue to use your partner's protection, you may be able to avoid pregnancy. But in your situation, you said no, so there is a chance that something would develop," the doctor stated to her, and she was unable to speak.She had no idea it was so important at the time. Even if one
She ran into Luke's house as soon as she got off the bus. And she was taken aback when he touched her. Mallory couldn't stop smiling while kissing her lips since she was met with a kiss."Finally you're here," Luke whispered quietly as she averted her gaze from the kiss."Did you really miss me that much?" Mallory inquired as Luke's expression darkened.She nodded and kissed her one more. "Too much, it feels like two years have passed.""Two years?" she exclaimed, laughing. "Great, let's talk more at night." So you're still missing me?" Mallory addressed him."Too much," Luke said as he kissed her shoulder. Please don't leave for too long. "I'm really comin
"Well, what about mine?""You're completely insane!"They strolled with their hands folded. "Are you hungry?" Luke inquired, his gaze fixed on Mallory. Mallory nodded and noticed the ice cream stand outside the door just in time. "I want some ice cream, boss.""Gosh, it's just ice cream," she remarked, and they headed over to get some.Their evening was enjoyable; she had not expected Luke to take her to Happy City, a theme park in Manila. It feels like a communal fair, especially with the magnificent rides. Even though they wanted to, they didn't go on many rides, according to Luke.She was preoccupied with the kid she was carrying, which is why she did what she did to Raven before, especially when she was having a good time
Luke simply glanced at Mallory and seemed to recall what she had said. It's as if he didn't hear what he said, convinced that his hearing was playing tricks on him."Is that correct? Did I understand correctly? Are you expecting a child?"I'm pregnant.""Oh God!" As he landed on his face, he exclaimed in disbelief. While still staring in awe at Mallory."Seriously?"Mallory remained silent and glanced at Luke. Even though the horror on his face was clear, he couldn't decipher what it meant. Is he astonished or glad because he didn't want to? But the query in his thoughts was rapidly answered, little by little, with glee on its face."Oh god?! not at all? "Are you expecting?" When Luke asked him, he smiled broadly.Mallory nodded and groaned. She started crying because she felt like a thorn had been taken out of her chest, and she worried that Luke wouldn't accept her. Luke stood up to hug her because of the worry and joy. But because they were on the ferris wheel, it trembled, which a
