Chapter 1043 Are You Pregnant?
A week later, Leon's injury had mostly healed.
Although Isabella wanted Leon to rest for a few more days, there was just too much work waiting for him at the company, so Leon stubbornly went back to work.
Isabella had no choice, but with Leon back at work, she could also go out to work.
Coincidentally, EchoEffect Advertising called Isabella at this time, hoping she could start work immediately.
It was strange; EchoEffect Advertising was a big company, but on Isabella's first day, the CEO personally arranged her office and was very enthusiastic.
Fortunately, the CEO didn't show up in the following days, and everything seemed normal. Isabella thought, 'Maybe the CEO is just very good at dealing with people? After all, the CEO still needs to maintain a good relationship with the CFO.'
Finally back to work, Isabella, although she had to go home at noon to take care of Milo, was very serious about her job and held herself to high standards, hoping to fully excel in her role.
On Sunday afternoon, Susan invited Isabella out for shopping.
After buying some things, they went into a café to rest and chat.
"How does it feel to be back at work?" Susan asked Isabella with a smile.
Isabella smiled and replied, "It's pretty good, much better than being stuck at home. When Leon goes to work, it's too boring at home."
Hearing this, Susan said jealously, "Leon stayed with you at home for half a month, but Seb has been leaving early and coming back late for half a month, with no time to spend with me. Many times, he comes back when I'm already asleep, and when I wake up, he's gone again."
Johnson Corporation and Prosperity Group were in the critical stage of a merger, and with Leon unable to go to the company due to his injury, many tasks fell on Seb's shoulders.
Although Isabella sympathized with Susan, she still said, "You could have Seb get injured too, then he could stay home with you for half a month."
Hearing this, Susan rolled her eyes. "No way."
At this moment, Isabella stirred her coffee with a spoon and frowned. "But during the time he was home recovering, it was indeed rare. Usually, he doesn't have time to spend with me."
Just as Isabella was about to take a sip of coffee, the smell suddenly made her cover her mouth and gag.
"What's wrong?" Susan asked with a frown.
"Nothing, I just feel like today's coffee smells awful," Isabella said, wiping her mouth with a napkin.
Hearing this, Susan called a waiter and said, "Could we get a glass of juice, please?"
"Sure," The waiter replied.
But Isabella said, "I'll have a glass of lemon water instead."
"Alright, please wait a moment." The waiter nodded and left.
"Lemon water? Why do you suddenly want it?" Susan asked, puzzled.
Isabella smiled. "I don't know, I just suddenly want something sour and sweet. Lately, I haven't liked eating meat; I feel nauseous just looking at it."
Hearing this, Susan stared at Isabella in shock.
Sensing Susan's strange expression, Isabella was also taken aback, as if she suddenly realized something.
"Are you..." Susan started but then stopped.
Isabella hesitated, understanding what Susan meant.
Both of them were women and had kids, so they were familiar with these issues.
At this moment, Isabella covered her belly with her hand and said in horror, "No way! Milo is not even ten months old, and I haven't had my period yet."
"That doesn't mean you're not ovulating." Susan reminded.
Hearing this, Isabella suddenly stood up.
"What's wrong?" Susan asked, looking up at Isabella.
"Susan, come with me to the hospital right now!" Isabella said, grabbing her things and pulling Susan along.
Two hours later, after a series of tests at the hospital.
Isabella sat on a bench in the hospital's small park, holding the diagnosis report, both shocked and delighted.
"Milo is only ten months old, how am I pregnant again? This is unbelievable. Leon and I never thought we'd have another baby so soon," Isabella muttered to herself.
Glancing at the test results in Isabella's hand, Susan said, "You don't want to get pregnant, and it happens right away. I want to get pregnant, but despite trying for so long, it still hasn't happened."
Hearing this, Isabella turned to look at the worried Susan and said, "You and Seb already have two kids, don't stress too much."
"But why can't I get pregnant again? Could it be that I can't have baby?" Susan said, staring at her belly.
At this moment, Isabella suddenly thought of something, her joy turning to worry. She and Leon were not in a position to have another kid, with Leon's mother still in a nursing home.
Isabella thought she wouldn't get pregnant while breastfeeding, so she didn't take any contraceptive measures. But unexpectedly, she got pregnant so suddenly.
Milo was only ten months old, and Isabella lived in constant fear that Milo might inherit schizophrenia. Now, with another baby on the way, she didn't know what should she do.
Seeing Isabella's worried expression, Susan, not knowing the full story, said, "Hey, why are you worried about having one more baby? If you don't want it, I'll take it when it's born."
"Dream on!" Isabella said, grabbing her things. "I'm a bit confused right now, I need to go."
With that, Isabella turned and left.
Susan couldn't help but say, "Hey, why are you leaving so suddenly?"
When Isabella got home, she locked herself in the bedroom.
Looking down at the diagnosis report in her hand, Isabella frowned deeply.
She wondered if she should keep this baby. Isabella was terrified of the possibility that the baby might inherit schizophrenia.
Isabella sat on the edge of the bed, lost in thought for a long time, until dusk when the door suddenly opened.
Looking up, Isabella saw Leon walking in quickly.
Startled, Isabella quickly hid the diagnosis report behind her back.
Isabella didn't want to tell Leon about this yet. His injury had just healed, and the company was extremely busy. She didn't want to add to his stress. She thought it would be better to consider it herself and discuss it with him in a few days.
The next moment, Leon was in front of her, holding her shoulders and pulling her up from the bed.
Seeing Leon's anxious expression, Isabella frowned, thinking, 'Does he find out?'
Sure enough, Leon asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Surprised, Isabella asked, "How did you know?"
"Susan told Seb, and Seb told me," Leon replied.
