Chapter 148 She's Pregnant
In the bathroom, Lauren vomited so uncomfortably beside the toilet.
Clarissa ran in. When she saw Lauren's uncomfortable look, she knew that her guess was right, and she felt distressed.
She went out in a hurry, and then brought her a glass of water and tissues.
She patted her on the back and asked worriedly, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
Lauren waved her hand and shook her head.
After a long while, she said with difficulty, "I'm fine. It's okay."
Clarissa handed her the water. Lauren took a mouthful of water and swirled it around her mouth. Then she wiped her lips with a tissue and said, "I'm sorry. I disappoint you."
Clarissa immediately shook her head, "What are you talking about? The most important thing is your body now!"
After a pause, she asked angrily, "Why don't you tell me about such an important thing? What is going on?"
Looking at Clarissa, Lauren knew that she had guessed it, and she bit her lip.
After a while, she said, "You know that I'm pregnant."
Clarissa nodded, "Your reaction is so obvious, and it's easy to guess it."
Lauren forced a smile, and her smile was full of helpless and sorrow.
"I argued with my dad because of this."
Clarissa frowned, "What the hell is going on? Why did you argue with your dad? Who is the child's father? Why didn't he protect you?"
"The child's father..."
Lauren muttered, and then smiled dolefully.
"Forget it. Don't talk about it. Clarissa, can you keep it secret for me?"
Clarissa frowned and felt dissatisfied because Lauren didn't want to talk about the child's father.
However, she also knew that Lauren was an adult. Since she had decided not to tell anyone, as her friend, she could only respect her choice.
She sighed and nodded, "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone about it. However, how are you going to deal with this child? After all, your belly will become bigger and bigger, and you have to act every day!"
Lauren was a little startled, and she was at a loss.
After a while, she shook her head, "I don't know, but this movie will be finished in two months. I will try my best to keep it from being discovered. As for the future... let's talk about it later!"
Seeing this, Clarissa frowned harder.
But she didn't say anything and helped her out.
When they returned to their seats again, their moods both changed a lot.
Clarissa sighed, "To be honest, I asked you to come out because Freddie asked me to help him. He wants to persuade you to play in the film he mentioned to you before, but now it is clearly impossible."
Lauren nodded, "He talked to me about this film. In fact, it is a nice script, and I like it very much. But obviously, I can't promise him now."
Clarissa nodded. She played with a spoon on the table with her fingers unconsciously and was lost in thought.
Both of them were not in the mood to eat. After a while, Clarissa asked her, "Where do you live now? Sasha is just an eighteen-year-old child. She doesn't understand many things. Can she take good care of you by herself?"
Lauren turned her head and looked out the window. At this time, the evening lights were all lit. Outside the window was a wide road. The lively road was crowded with people and vehicles, but she only felt so lonely and sad in her heart.
At this moment, it seemed that only Clarissa could make her feel a little warm.
She shook her head, "I don't know. In order to force me to go back, my dad froze all my bank cards and took back all my houses. Now I live in the hotel booked by the crew."
She paused, and then smiled with grief, "But it's okay. I'll let nature take its course! He can't force me to die."
Clarissa held her hand in a hurry and said in a deep voice, "You are not allowed to talk nonsense! You still have me!"
After she finished speaking, she thought for a while and took out a bank card and a bunch of keys from her bag and put them in her hand.
"Take this card first. The password is my birthday. Although it's not a big sum of money, spend it first. We can think of other ways later. This is the key to the apartment I used to live in. The house is not big, so make do with it first. I will come to visit you regularly."
She pursed her lips and added, "I don't support you to argue with your father. After all, blood is thicker than water. You can't change the fact that he is your father. Moreover, he has always been nice to you. I know that you have your own difficulties now. If you refuse to say it, I won't ask you. This is the support I can give you. I only hope you can be fine."
Lauren looked at her, and her eyes gradually glistened with tears. Finally, she couldn't control herself and big tears ran down her face.
She bit her lip fiercely and lowered her head. After a long while, she said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Clarissa."
Clarissa forced a smile and her eyes were brimming with tears. After a long time, she wiped her tears and smiled, "Alright, don't look so desperate. This is not the Lauren I know. If you want to give birth to this child, don't worry too much and do it. I am the child's godmother and I will protect it! There will be no problems. As for the father of the child, let him do as he likes. He is not important at all!"
Lauren knew that Clarissa wanted to comfort her. Although she was still very sad in her heart, she felt much more relaxed.
She accepted Clarissa's kindness and smiled. The atmosphere finally eased a little.
After they finished the meal, based on Lauren's physical condition, Clarissa did not let her go shopping with her, but sent her back to the crew directly.
After that, Clarissa drove home by herself and called Freddie on the way.
She did not tell him that Lauren was pregnant, and she just said that Lauren couldn't act in the film.
On the phone, although Freddie had been mentally prepared, he was still so disappointed when he heard the answer.
Clarissa could understand him. After all, creating a script was sometimes very subjective.
Since the scriptwriter wanted someone to play the role, he would always unconsciously use this person as a template while writing the script.
After that, if he knew that the actor couldn't act in the play, he would naturally be disappointed.
She comforted Freddie, "I can't do anything about it. You can ask your friend to find more actresses. Although few actresses can be like Lauren, you can still find someone suitable as long as you look for her carefully."
Freddie smiled bitterly and said, "Honestly, I also participated in the creation of this script. We had wanted Lauren to play the role before we wrote it, but I didn't know much about her before and didn't dare to talk to her. When we shoot 'Destiny Fragrance' together, I feel that she is more suitable for this role. How can it be so easy to find a new actress now?"
