Chapter 161 You're Pregnant
Douglas grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand and sat her down on his lap.
"I just got the news too. Melissa is missing."
Douglas had indeed arranged for someone to monitor Melissa.
But the surveillance wasn't very tight.
Provided that Melissa and Sandra refrained from causing any harm to Regina, he was indifferent. Nonetheless, he recognized that he lacked the luxury of expending his time on her.
Melissa must have planned this escape for a long time.
Regina lowered her eyes, curling her lips mockingly. "She just had surgery a few days ago. Where did she get the energy to play this disappearing game?"
"I'll have someone look for her now."
Regina slowly exhaled, her voice trembling slightly. "She wrote me a letter. she said not to look for her."
Douglas froze for a moment after hearing Regina's words.
Although he had been somewhat mentally prepared, his temples were still throbbing.
Just as Douglas was about to say something, Regina hooked her arm around his neck and kissed his lips.
In the office, her uncharacteristic initiative was rare.
But at this moment, Regina felt like a piece of driftwood floating in the ocean; only by holding onto Douglas and kissing him could she find some stability in the turbulence.
Douglas responded to her urgency.
He truly understood her.
Even if she sometimes did inexplicable things, she didn't need to give a thorough explanation for her actions; he could understand her needs.
He held Regina, pressing her onto the bed in the lounge, inseparable.
Regina clung tightly to Douglas above her, as if she wanted to feel his presence more tangibly.
Her hands gripped Douglas' shoulders tightly, and the tingling pleasure made her fingers leave ambiguous marks on his firm muscles.
"I want you."
At that moment, Regina felt that only by merging more deeply could she feel him more tangibly.
Douglas chuckled lightly, a thin layer of sweat on his chiseled face, making him exceptionally sexy.
"I'll give you as long as you want."
He was up for anything.
When Regina was lost and confused, the intense and deep desire gradually filled her.
Her heart pounded, and in the extreme passion, they reached their peak together. But at that moment, Douglas clearly saw a tear slide down Regina's cheek.
Did he make her cry?
Or?
Douglas didn't react immediately; he just quietly held her. They were so close, enjoying the lingering warmth together.
Her body was burning hot, and she leaned against his chest, not speaking for a long time, like a fish stranded on the shore, gasping for air.
It wasn't until Douglas' phone rang for the third time that Regina realized how crazy they had been.
She propped herself up and got out of bed.
"I need to get back to work..."
Their clothes were scattered all over the floor. Just as Regina got out of bed and bent down to pick up her things, she suddenly felt a warm flow down her legs.
She looked down and saw blood.
It wasn't a lot, and she could easily tell it wasn't menstrual blood.
Douglas quickly noticed too.
He got off the bed nervously and asked worriedly, "Did I hurt you just now?"
Regina told him the truth. "A little."
When the passion was at its peak, she couldn't hold on.
It did hurt a bit.
Douglas feared he may have hurt her, so he quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and got dressed. The crisp fabric of his shirt outlined his defined muscles, and because he was so tense, Regina could clearly see his body tightening.
Regina did feel uncomfortable. She thought she should go to the hospital to get checked out in case, but she said, "I'll go by myself. You go ahead with your work."
Douglas, however, seemed not to hear her. He picked up her clothes and helped her put them on, then took her out of the office.
As soon as they left the office, they ran into Dorothy.
Dorothy saw Douglas holding the car keys and was a bit surprised. She had looked at Douglas' schedule for the day and saw no plans for going out.
"Mr. Semona, where are you going?" Dorothy quickly stepped forward and asked.
"The hospital."
"Are you hurt?"
"Not me."
Dorothy's sharp eyes fell on Regina standing beside him. "So... Is Ms. Valrose hurt?"
Regina nodded awkwardly, her face turning visibly red.
"What kind of injury?"
Douglas looked at Dorothy blocking their way, a wave of impatience rising in his brow. He coldly and dismissively said, "Work injury."
'Work injury?'
"How did that happen?"
Dorothy knew Regina had been in Douglas' office for over an hour, but there didn't seem to be anything particularly dangerous in there. Looking Regina up and down, she didn't see any visible injuries.
"Move." Douglas didn't bother to explain.
Dorothy quickly said, "I'll arrange for someone to take Ms. Valrose to the hospital."
"I'll go myself."
Without giving Dorothy time to react, Douglas took Regina's hand and walked to the private elevator, leaving Dorothy standing there in a daze.
On the way to the hospital, Douglas drove very fast.
Once they arrived at the hospital, they went to the gynecology emergency room.
The doctor first asked Regina some routine questions.
Then, under the doctor's guidance, they went through the steps for the examination.
Regina had an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
When the doctor asked her when her last period was, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
Her period was indeed late again.
She hadn't counted her menstrual days accurately due to irregularity and hadn't disclosed it to anyone after the last mix-up.
She kept thinking that if her period didn't come in a few days, she would go to the hospital.
But time passed, and because she was so busy with work, Regina had forgotten about it.
If she was really pregnant, then their recent intense lovemaking would be very dangerous.
This time, they even caused bleeding.
The more Regina thought about it, the more worried she became.
She anxiously followed the doctor for the examination.
After an hour, the blood test results finally came out.
The doctor adjusted her glasses, looked at the report, and said, "You're pregnant."
Before they could fully react, she frowned and said, "You need to be hospitalized for observation and to protect the pregnancy. How could you be so reckless and cause bleeding?"
