You Are My Mr Right

The person who entered was Sivin Peters.

“Feeling better?” asked he.

Freya sat up and said, “Much better. Dr Peters, why did you come?”

“When you were brought here, I was present. I conducted an examination on you first, and then had the head of the gynecology department perform further diagnosis…”

“I have a gynecological condition?”

No way. She knew her own body.

“I haven’t been getting enough rest lately, coupled with work. I’m a bit tired, but it can’t be…”

“It seems like you’re pregnant.” Sivin interrupted her.

Freya’s heart skipped a beat. “What did you say?” She was using contraception, how could she be pregnant?

“Could there be a mistake…”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“No, the head of the gynecology department personally examined you. There can be no mistake.” Sivin said.

Freya was a little dazed. “It’s impossible.”

“If you don’t believe it, you can go for another check-up,” Sivin looked at her, “Being pregnant at this time might be beneficial for you. It could ease the tension in your relationship with Elijah…”

But Freya didn’t think so. When she had Kai, she and Elijah couldn’t stand each other. Now that they had finally developed some feelings, and with the Joan Nash situation, Elijah needed time. If she made him come back to her because of another child, it wouldn’t be solely because he loved her. Perhaps it would be also because of the child. Freya didn’t want to force Elijah. She was willing to give him time instead of trapping him with another child. That kind of relationship wasn’t what she wanted.

“I understand. Can I ask you for a favor?” Freya asked.

Sivin nodded. “Go ahead.”

“I don’t want anyone to know about my pregnancy,” she looked at Sivin and said.

“Alright, I will keep it confidential, and I will also inform the head of the gynecology department. You rest well. If you can’t handle it, don’t come to work tomorrow.”

Freya was a bit absent-minded and said, “I’ll be fine.”

“By the way, Eric Lowe was picked up by her daughter and taken back to Country M.”

“His wound’s healed?” asked Freya casually.

“No, his injuries are quite serious. How can he recover so quickly? I asked him to go back as soon as possible to avoid further retaliation.” Sivin replied.

Freya knew that Sivin was indirectly referring to Elijah. She didn’t express any opinion because she knew how Joan Nash treated Eric Lowe.

“Rest well, I’ll leave now. If you need any help, give me a call.” Sivin said.

Freya nodded.

The door of the ward closed, and Freya sat on the bed for a while. She took out her phone and called Linda. The call connected, and Linda answered.

“Linda, when you come over, please bring the bottle of Vitamin C on the dressing table in my room.”

“Okay.”

Freya hung up the phone. She lay on the bed, gently placing her hand on her lower abdomen, and slowly closed her eyes with mixed emotions.

An hour later, Linda arrived. She brought food for Freya and also the bottle of Vitamin C that Freya had asked her to bring.

“I made nutrient soup for you. Get up and have a bowl.” Linda said. Freya got up, and Linda brought it over. It was warm, and Linda’s cooking was good. Freya had a good appetite and ate a lot.

“I also made steamed dumplings. Have a few more.”

“Alright.”

Linda hesitated for a moment and asked, “Mr Silverton hasn’t been home much lately. Are you two… doing okay?”

“We’re doing fine. He’s busy with work, and the headquarters is overseas, so it’s not convenient for him to come back and forth.” Said Freya.

Linda nodded. “And what about Kai?”

“My mom took him away. I was afraid you would be too busy to handle it.”

Linda smiled. “Indeed, it wouldn’t be easy for me to bring him back and forth while delivering meals to you. Since Kai isn’t here, I’ll stay overnight here today.”

Freya quickly said, “No, there’s no need. I can handle it myself, and the doctor said I’m just too tired.”

“Alright then.”

After Freya finished her meal, Linda took the lunchbox away. Freya picked up the bottle of Vitamin C on the table and opened the lid. She poured out the pills, which looked exactly like the Vitamin C tablets. She sniffed them, and the smell was similar. She chewed them into a paste. That was when she realized something was wrong.

Birth control pills were supposed to taste bitter. She always swallowed them with water, so she didn’t notice that Elijah had switched them. Now that she chewed them, she found there was no bitterness, just a slight fruity taste. Freya remembered that Elijah had a collaboration with a pharmaceutical company to develop this kind of pill. It was quite simple. It seemed like Elijah was truly looking forward to a daughter. He could even do something like this.

Freya laughed bitterly.

Suddenly, her phone buzzed. She looked at it, and the screen showed Elijah’s number flashing. She answered it immediately, saying, “Hello.”
