Chapter 1484 Pregnant
After being married, Edmund seldom frequent the bar because he was busy managing the business of the Zander family.
When his father-in-law learned about what he did formerly, he handed over his business to Edmund.
Naturally, Edmund would not have time to visit the bar anymore.
With that, there were only Sasha and Ichika manning the bar.
Ichika: Darling, I can’t go back yet. Sab has gone to Devin. If I were to leave this place, Sha will have her hands full, managing the business on her own.
Ichika was exhausted when she got back to Oceanic Estate at night. Seeing that she had several missed calls and multiple unread messages, she quickly replied to Solomon first.
Solomon was not amused.
What’s this? She promised me that she’s only assisting the ladies, but now, she has morphed into the main driving force of the business. Darn you, Sabrina!
Sitting in his study, the bespectacled man was super upset.
Solomon: Do you feel unwell?
Ichika answered: Huh? Nope, I’m all good, Darling. Although I’m tired, Sha is always very nice to me. Additionally, there are people from the Jadesons coming over to help out. So, you don’t need to worry about me, Darling.
The silly woman failed to read between the lines.
The veins on Solomon’s forehead kept throbbing.
Moments later, he tried asking her in a more direct manner.
Solomon: I’m referring to the few special days in a month when you feel uncomfortable. When it happens, remember to tell Sasha.
Ichika: Oh!
It took her a while to understand what he meant.
Then, she strode toward her room and checked the calendar carefully.
Ichika: Darling, I’m doomed. It’s late for more than three days.
Solomon said nothing.
The following morning, the top management of Hayes Corporation each received a notice from their president, indicating that he had left Avenport and would not be in the office for a couple of days.
Why would he do this suddenly?
The top management were puzzled.
Meanwhile, in Jadeborough, Sasha was surprised to hear from Ichika that Solomon planned to make a trip there.
Is this necessary? Since when did Solomon become so nice to Ichika? He’s willing to put aside his work, make time to come over and help Ichika. I definitely didn’t see this coming. It’s true when people say that even a cold and aloof man would realize how important his wife is after getting married.
Though astonished, she was glad to hear that at the same time.
When Solomon arrived at noon, she was the first one to say yes gleefully when he wanted to take Ichika out.
They have been apart for nearly a month. It’s only right that I give the couple some time to themselves.
Sasha continued working at the bar.
Upon leaving the premises, Solomon immediately sped off in the direction of the nearest hospital.
“Darling, you…” Ichika asked bashfully.
She recalled their conversations last night and connected it to what Solomon did – traveled a distance to bring her to the hospital. A smarty pants like her could easily speculate what he had in mind.
They went to see a gynecologist. Upon registering and consultation with the doctor, they received an instruction to obtain a white cup from the lab to conduct a urine test. Solomon accompanied his wife all the way.
“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you here,” he said after walking her to the bathroom.
Ichika did not say anything and went in obediently. She could sense his anxiousness.
Twenty minutes later, the result was out. Once again, they took it to the doctor.
“It’s negative actually. I believe the abnormal lapse in your wife’s menstruation is caused by other factors. Should I prescribe her some medication to help regulate her menstrual cycle?” the doctor did not hesitate to announce the results as soon as he had read the test report.
At that instant, Solomon was deeply saddened and utterly disappointed.
How come? I’ve been working so hard for that one month. We even calculated her ovulation period. Why didn’t it happen?
He could not believe what he heard. So, he came up with an excuse to make Ichika leave the room. Then, he popped an embarrassing question. “Doctor, we’ve been married for more than half a year, and we’ve never once taken any precaution. Why isn’t she pregnant?”
“Oh?” the doctor exclaimed.
“Has it been more than six months now? Hmm… Did you two go for a thorough check-up? Your wife is very young whereas you’re at your prime age too. It’s very unlikely this will happen if there wasn’t any birth control.” The doctor started to look dubious.
It’s quite rare to encounter such a situation in a young couple who never practiced any safety precautions. Usually, good news would come along very soon.
The doctor planned to perform an assessment on Ichika. Solomon did not know what to do, so he acquiesce to his decision.
Ichika was very cooperative and went along with all the examinations because she knew that Solomon did it for her own good.
