Chapter 900:


    Rachel didn’t seem averse to his attentions this time, which encouraged him to visit more often.


    He ended up visiting at least once a week, and each time, she would brief him on the sick children’s conditions and their progress so far. He was their benefactor, after all, so it was only right that she keep him in the loop. They would also chat about life sometimes, though these conversations were usually brief and light.


    As the days passed, Brian grew quieter, more subdued. And while his visits became more frequent, he never stayed long—usually just a couple of hours before he left in a hurry.


    The fact that Ronald frequently appeared during Brian’s visits was a testament to just how busy Brian was.


    A whole month passed.


    Brian would usually leave after saying goodbye, but for the first time, he had more to say. “Take care of yourself. I may not be able to visit often in theing weeks, but I’lle as soon as I can spare some time.”


    “I understand. Be safe.” It was the first time Rachel had said something like that to him as well.


    Brian spun around to look at her again, his eyes misting. “Then,” he said, his voice thick with emotion, “I’m leaving now.”


    “All right.”


    After missing her period for several days, Rachel finally realized that she might be pregnant.


    Her cycle had always been irregr, and adjusting to a new environment with an unfamiliar climate had distracted her from considering the possibility. On top of that, she had been so focused on her charity work. She had noticed her appetite wasn’t as good as before, but like everything else, she attributed it to her new routine.


    One day, while idly flipping through the calendar on her phone, she noticed the date of herst period. Only then did it ur to her that it had been months ago.


    Her mind immediately shed back to that fateful night she had spent with Brian.


    If she was indeed pregnant, it must have been from that night.


    ?????????? ????????: ?????????ν??????﹒??????


    Without wasting any time, she set out for the pharmacy. However, when she arrived, she found that the local pharmacy only had a handful of over-the-counter medications formon ailments.


    The next morning, Rachel woke up early and made her way to the hospital in town.


    Their procedures were straightforward and efficient, far less cumbersome than those employed byrger hospitals.


    Luckily, there weren’t many patients. Rachel exined her situation to the doctor and was then directed to queue for a blood test.


    “I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a while for the test results,” the doctor said. “You may wait outside.”


    “Thank you, doctor.”


    Rachel sat on a bench in the corridor, doing just that, when her phone rang.
