Chương 10: I'm not the father [EDITED]
Mengmeng stared at the two lines that appeared on the kits.
Pregnant… She was pregnant… How could that be? She was said to be Bai Jingye's fiancé, right? Could he be the father? But… their marriage was just an arrangement. Her husband has someone else he loves. Could she be… seeing another man before she got into an accident then?
She went out of the restroom with her face as white as a sheet. She staggered, her knees losing their strength. She was lucky enough to be caught by Bai Jingye who happened to be standing outside, waiting for her to come out.
"I-I'm pregnant…" she stuttered.
"I am not the father," he said coldly, dissipating one of her doubts. He didn't want her to think that something was going on between them before she lost her memories. He was only ordered to keep an eye on her, not to touch her.
"I know…" she mumbled. If he was the father, he would have at the very least changed the way he was treating her and reconsider the divorce.
To be honest, she didn't know what to feel. Should she be happy or should she be depressed? With her memories gone, finding out the father of the child was nearly impossible.
Reluctantly, Mengmeng decided to ask him the truth about their relationship this time. "Please be honest. Am I really your fiancé before the accident happened?"
Being his childhood friend and being his fiancé were different matters after all.
Bai Jingye didn't think twice in answering her as he straightforwardly replied, "No, you aren't. You're only a stranger who 'saved' my grandfather. That's all."
"But grandpa said-"
"You shouldn't believe everything he told you."
She was a total stranger, huh? Not his childhood friend or his fiancé. She didn't have a connection with him from the beginning.
The man supporting her was kind enough to lead her to the bed, allowing her to sit on the side of the bed.
He was not going to comfort her just because she was this troubled. He didn't care. He never cared or even questioned the man who sent her to his grandfather. He turned and went back to the sofa. "We need to get some rest. We need to be early tomorrow to pack our things at home," he said coldly.
How could she sleep after learning that she was pregnant? After learning that she has zero connections with his family? The old man lied about everything.
Strangely enough, she wasn't angry about it. She thought that he probably did that to repay her. He was only trying to help her, right?
All her identity cards, even her phone, and any information about her were burnt in the accident. With no money, no background, she would definitely become a beggar and starve.
"Please don't let anyone know about this…" Especially Bai Keran. She was afraid that he might feel betrayed if he found out.
Seconds ticked by but no answer came from the man who was now lying down on the sofa.
He wouldn't tell anyone about her situation, after all, they just got married. If others were to know, it would be an insult to him. At least that was what she thought.
She unconsciously placed her hand on her stomach. She needed to have her memories back but how? The doctor said that if she spent her time around the people she knew, if she had some items that belonged to her then perhaps, her memories would return. The only problem was… she was not familiar with the people around her.
They were all strangers. That must be the only reason why even after a week of stay in the old man Bai's place, she regained nothing.
It was a long night for Mengmeng. A lot of things were going on in her mind. She was anxious, confused, and stressed. She was only able to fall asleep when her eyes grew tired.
…
The next day, Bai Jingye dropped his wife at his place. She was quiet the whole time. She never said a word to him while they were on their way. He didn't try to start a conversation either.
The atmosphere around them was heavy. No matter how he looked at it, she was so bothered by her pregnancy. He couldn't do anything about her condition. There were more important things to do at that moment.
Shortly after he dropped her, he ordered his servant to pack his things for him before he headed off somewhere, leaving her alone.
As soon as he arrived at his grandfather's place, Bai Jingye directly went to Bai Keran's study, barging in the room.
"Did you know?" He scowled at the old man who was calmly taking a sip from his cup of tea.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be tending to your wife and preparing for your flight?" Bai Keran asked without even giving him a glance. From the looks of it, it seemed like he knew what he was talking about.
Bai Jingye gritted his teeth and balled his fists as he glared icily at his grandfather. "If you already know that she's pregnant, why did you force us to get married?"
