Kapitel 875: What What?

"Your Highness, your friend is pregnant."

Rafe froze mid-step, his gaze snapping to the doctor. He coughed, caught off guard. "What?"

The doctor's tone remained calm, though her words carried significant weight. "She is pregnant, Your Highness. Judging by her condition, it seems she has not been eating well or has been under considerable stress. Her blood sugar dropped, which led to the fainting spell. But yes, I can confirm that she is expecting."

Rafe blinked, struggling to process the news. "But... she just took a test," he stammered. "It came out negative." The words slipped out before he could stop himself, and his expression tightened, realizing he might have said too much.

The doctor, merely offered a small, understanding smile. "That's likely because it's still very early in the pregnancy. At this stage, some tests might not detect it. In another week or so, the result would likely have been positive. These things take time to show conclusively."
