Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 80 She’s Not Pregnant

Chandler’s gaze darkened, and he coaxed Erin, “Maybe you can eat the side dishes instead, or I can

get the chefs to prepare something else for you.”

“No need to trouble them any more, I’ll just eat the sides…” she replied, as she didn’t feel like being a

burden to the chefs this late at night.

After giving it some thought, he said, “I can go with you to the hospital tomorrow to get a checkup on

your stomach. Who knows if it might be an infection or something.”

She also thought of paying a visit to the hospital soon. “I can go by myself tomorrow. You don’t have to

come along,” she replied.

“It’s fine. Let me go with you,” he insisted.

Seeing how adamant he was to follow her, she no longer turned him down.

The next day at eleven o’clock in the morning, Chandler and Erin exited Liberty General Hospital

together.

Erin had arranged to undergo a series of tests at the hospital, which would be performed by Dr. Louise.

Chandler stayed with her the entire time.

The next step was to wait for the results.

Afterward, Chandler had arranged for a driver to send her back to the villa to get some rest. And since

her cousin was still in the villa, Erin wanted to go back to check on her as well.

When Chandler arrived at the company, he was busy with meetings all afternoon up until seven in the

evening. Kyle had already arranged a dinner reservation for him, and just as Chandler had finished his

work and was preparing to head for dinner at the restaurant, he received a call from Dr. Louise’s private

number.

He immediately picked up the call with a vague sense of nervousness and anticipation in his heart.

“Erin’s test results are out, Chandler. The report shows that Erin is not pregnant but is suffering from a

temporary gastrointestinal inflammation due to mental stress,” he explained before continuing, “And

even if she were pregnant now, she wouldn’t show symptoms of pregnancy this early.”

The moment Chandler heard the announcement, he felt extremely disappointed.

He didn’t say anything, as he knew that Dr. Louise was a meticulous person by nature. It didn’t help

that he was also a doctor, which made him even more careful in his job, so he definitely couldn’t be

mistaken about the results.

Dr. Louise couldn’t really decipher what Chandler was feeling at the moment, so he continued, “Logan

told me about your predicament last time, and truth to be told, I was really shocked at the news. I didn’t

think that you and Erin had already… But I suppose it’s a good thing. I could tell right away that she

really liked you from the way she stared at you today. Honestly, I think that Logan’s idea is just too

crazy to work. Then again, who would’ve thought that you ended up being the craziest among us…”

“What do you want to say to me exactly? Cut the crap already,” Chandler snapped coldly.

Dr. Louise frowned and hesitated for a while before finally saying, “Although I’m not related to Erin in

any way, as her doctor, I would like to remind you that if ever she gets pregnant with your child one day,

and you refuse to raise it, an abortion would bring great harm to her body. I’m just telling you to think

twice before you act.”

“Why wouldn’t I want to raise a child? Now the only problem is that she’s the one who can’t conceive

here,” Chandler said. with some disappointment.

“Then let me ask you, why do you even want to have a child with her? Do you really want a child? Or

do you just want to use this child to tie Erin down to your side? I’m sure that you’re aware that your

father wouldn’t allow Erin to enter the Frost household with her current status, right?” Dr. Louise chided.

“When did I say that I wanted to marry her?” Chandler spat with a cold look in his eyes.

Dr. Louise’s heart lurched when he heard that. “Then what the fuck are you doing? You want Erin to

have a child out of wedlock? Do you know what she really thinks about this? Although I instructed Mr.

Charleston to give you the folic acid. tablets last time, it doesn’t mean I agree with your methods! With

the way you’re deceiving Erin like this now, have your thought about how she’ll react when she finds

out the truth?” he retorted angrily..

The way Dr. Louise raised his voice made Chandler frown, and he replied in a cold tone, “What are you

getting so heated for? It almost makes me think you have some ulterior motive toward her!”

“You’re the one who keeps overthinking! I’m just saying this from a doctor’s perspective…Today at the

hospital, I heard that a female patient had been abandoned by her fiancé after she decided to induce

labor. Her fetus was only seven months old, and inducing labor at this time comes with certain risks.

She later developed a hemorrhage during the operation and died on the operating table shortly after.”

When Chandler heard Dr. Louise say that, he immediately thought of Erin. “I never regret my decisions!

I’ll also see to it that Erin doesn’t miscarry at all costs!” he growled in a low voice.

Hearing how adamant he was, Dr. Louise sighed. “I hope you can see where I’m coming from. That’s

all I have to say.”

Chandler hung up after that and proceeded to stay in his office alone for a long time to think.

He admitted that he wasn’t fully on board with having a child yet, just that he knew that he had to have

a child now.

So, even if he couldn’t make Erin an official member of his household, it would still be nice to have a

child with her…

At this moment, in Chandler’s villa, May and Erin had just finished their dinner together.

May took Erin’s hand as they sat on a sofa in the guest room. May was telling Erin stories about her

time with her ex- boyfriend James.

“I really can’t figure out for the life of me why James doesn’t love me anymore, sis…” she trailed off

with a tear–streaked face.

Erin couldn’t help but be reminded of lan as she giggled. “Silly girl, who told you you’re able to get

answers for matters of the heart? It’s normal for things to end once the love has run cold. What’s so

hard to figure out, especially when you told me that you saw him go into a motel with his junior with

your very eyes?”

“I really don’t think I can let him go yet, sis… We’ve been together for three years, and even agreed to

save money to buy a house and get married! We even made plans to start a life here…so how did

everything change so fast? I refuse to accept this…I really don’t feel like letting him go yet!” May replied

reluctantly.

Erin could feel her heart shattering too as she stared at her heartbroken cousin. “Ugh…you can be so

silly at times!” she said before continuing, “Trust me when I say that time is still the best medicine, May.

All the hesitation and sadness you’re feeling right now will disappear once you meet the next good

man.”

May wiped her tears and whimpered in response, “Sis, is this where you’ve been living since you and

lan got divorced? Is the owner of this villa your new boyfriend?”

Erin didn’t know how to answer her for a few seconds. “Technically, he’s my boss, and I’m currently

interning as his personal assistant. When he saw that I had nowhere to go after my divorce, he let me

live here for the time being,” she answered

vaguely.

“Really?” May gasped in disbelief.

Erin continued to lie, “Yeah.”

She didn’t dare tell May the truth. After all, her current relationship with Chandler wasn’t something she

wanted to disclose to the public.

Nothing good would come out of this if May spilled the beans to Cherry and her other relatives.

Thus, she decided to be discreet with the details until she and Chandler were officially dating.

“Your boss treats you so well, then! He must be very rich, right?” May couldn’t help but ask out of

curiosity.

“Yeah, I guess. Who knows,” Erin replied vaguely.

“What do you mean? You’re his assistant, surely you should know if he’s rich. To me, I reckon he must

be loaded to be able to live in such a villa…” May giggled.

“I’m going to take a shower now, May. I don’t suppose you slept well yesterday night since you were

drunk, so you should go to bed early after taking your shower… You don’t have to think about anything

now. Let’s just wait until tomorrow to think about how we should deal with your issue with James,” Erin

said before standing up and preparing to leave the guest room. May nodded and said, “Alright…”

At three in the morning, Erin, who was sleeping, woke up instantly when she heard May scream from

the living room downstairs.

When she turned her head, she saw that Chandler wasn’t beside her and the sheets were still cold.

This made her realize that Chandler hadn’t returned to the villa yet.

She suddenly had a bad feeling that he was involved in the incident with May.

Erin hurriedly put on her clothes and rushed downstairs to the living room.

The living room was brightly lit, and May sat on the ground, her clothes disheveled. Chandler could be

seen standing at the side, and he reeked of alcohol. He then pointed at May and instructed two

bodyguards in a cold voice, “Throw this woman out of the house!”
