Chapter 1140 The Child in Your Belly is Ours, Right?
"What did the doctor say?" Cecilia reached out to touch her long hair, then lowered her eyelids and asked.
She didn't dare to look Daryl in the eye because she wasn't good at lying and was afraid of being exposed.
She thought, 'I have fainted and been taken to the hospital. The doctor must have done a thorough examination, right? Would the doctor find out that I was already pregnant?'
Daryl stared at Cecilia for a moment, then suddenly sneered. "So, you're not planning to tell me yourself?"
"Tell you what?" Cecilia continued to play dumb.
Daryl suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, intending to light one.
But then, Daryl seemed to think of something and restrained himself from opening the pack, instead fiddling with it in his hand.
"Don't tell me you don't know you're pregnant," Daryl said.
Hearing this, Cecilia's heart tightened.
He knew she was pregnant. Cecilia then said, "The doctor found out I was pregnant?"
"You've been pregnant for over three months. If the doctor couldn't find that out, this hospital should have been shut down long ago," Daryl said impatiently.

"I am pregnant, but it has nothing to do with you," Cecilia said, looking at Daryl's back.
Hearing this, Daryl suddenly turned around and stared at Cecilia, questioning, "I'm the father of the kid. How could it have nothing to do with me?"
"Are you so confident that the baby in my belly is yours?" Cecilia's eyes met Daryl's.
Although they had broken up, Cecilia knew Daryl had a strong sense of possession and was quite jealous. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been jealous of seeing her with Barry.
But they had already gone their separate ways. Who she was with had nothing to do with him anymore, and he was also going to marry Skylar.
These words made Daryl quite angry. He pointed to the examination report on the table in front of the hospital bed and said, "The report says you've been pregnant for over three months. At that time, we were still in Northstar City, and Barry had already left Northstar City. If the child isn't mine, could it be Barry's? Of course, if you insist it is, then when the child is born, we won't even need a paternity test. Just look at whether the child looks like someone from Luminara or a foreigner, and we'll know!"
Hearing such insulting words, Cecilia was momentarily furious. She suddenly sat up, ignoring the IV in her hand, and threw a pillow from behind her at Daryl.
The pillow hit Daryl and then fell to the ground.
But the needle in Cecilia's hand swelled up, causing her face to contort in pain.
Seeing this, Daryl quickly pressed the call button on the wall.
Soon, a nurse came in, saw the condition of Cecilia's hand, quickly removed the needle, and pressed on Cecilia's hand, frowning. "Miss, you can't move around during an IV. It's very easy to cause an accident."
Cecilia was still angry and kept her head down, not speaking.
Daryl's eyes were fixed on Cecilia's hand, his face dark, and he said nothing.
Five minutes later, the nurse reinserted the IV, observed for a while to make sure there were no problems, gave a few instructions, and then left.
After the nurse left, Cecilia leaned back on the bed, saying nothing.
Daryl had calmed down by now and chose to sit by the bed.
After a moment of silence between them, Daryl finally said in a softer tone, "Cecilia, can we talk calmly?"
"What's there to talk about?" Cecilia lowered her eyelids, her face pale, looking very dejected.
"At least the child in your belly is ours, right?" Daryl asked, frowning.
Hearing this, Cecilia felt a pang of sadness.
She thought, 'Even if the child is ours, so what? The child would still be illegitimate.'
"So what do you want to do about it?" Cecilia finally raised her head and met Daryl's eyes.
Since he admitted the child was his, she might as well ask him, although Cecilia had no hope.
Hearing this, Daryl was momentarily speechless and had no response.
Cecilia smiled bitterly, her eyes filled with sorrow. "Do you want me to abort it or give birth to it?"
Hearing this, Daryl's brows furrowed deeply.
At this moment, Cecilia suddenly felt a wave of nausea and wanted to vomit.
But she was still on an IV and couldn't move.
Seeing this, Daryl quickly took down the IV bottle hanging high, holding it in one hand while helping Cecilia out of bed with the other.
Cecilia, not caring about anything else, covered her mouth and ran to the restroom.
In the restroom, Daryl held the IV bottle high while Cecilia leaned over the sink, vomiting.
Seeing Cecilia in such discomfort, even vomiting bile, a look of pain flashed in Daryl's eyes, and he gently patted her back.
After vomiting, Cecilia felt a warm hand on her back, feeling particularly warm and comfortable.
At this moment, Cecilia didn't want his hand to leave.
After vomiting, Cecilia's eyes were filled with tears.
At this moment, Daryl handed her a tissue.
Cecilia took the tissue and wiped the tears and snot from her face.
After all the commotion, the exhausted Cecilia lay back on the bed, feeling physically and mentally drained, her mind too tired to think about the troubling matters.
Daryl re-hung the IV bottle, then looked at Cecilia, whose face was pale from vomiting, his eyes filled with a complex expression.
Then, Daryl said, "The child's situation is too sudden for me. I haven't thought it through yet. Let's talk when I have."
Cecilia leaned against the headboard, looking out the window, not reacting to Daryl's words because she knew Daryl's so-called solution might be to have her abort the child or give birth to it in secret. So she had no hope.
Seeing Cecilia's lack of response, Daryl said, "You're tired. Get some rest. I'll leave now."
After speaking, Daryl turned and left.
After Daryl left, a female caregiver soon came in.
"Ms. Thorne, Mr. Fields asked me to take care of you. You haven't eaten anything all day. What would you like to eat? I'll go get it for you," The clean and efficient caregiver asked with a smile.
At this moment, Cecilia did feel a bit hungry. Although she had no appetite, she had to eat for the sake of her baby. She had to be responsible for it.
