Chapter 217
She should have her period a week before.
Yet it was late now.
She couldn’t breathe as fear and horror clouded her mind.
Calm down. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Girls got their periods late all the time and a week of delay didn’t mean anything…
But she couldn’t help but think back to the last time she had sex with Daran in the vineyard.
They didn’t use any protection.
“I should call the doctor,” Clemente said in a serious voice.
He turned to the door.
“I should call the doctor,” Clemente said in a serious voice.
He turned to the door.
Yet Janet grabbed his hand abruptly and stopped him, “NO!”
“Why not?” he looked perplexed, “You are obviously sick. It is my duty to contact the hospital and report
to the King about this.”
“No. No hospital. No report.”
Janet stood up and pressed the flush button.
She couldn’t see a doctor.
If she was really…pregnant, nobody in this castle could know.
She had already got enemies looming in the darkness and wanting to kill her.
If those enemies or even Westin–found out that she was pregnant with the Werewolf King’s child, they
would definitely want to get rid of her and her child. She couldn’t live with that consequence.
Of course, she didn’t know if she was really pregnant or not.
She had to figure out a way to find out.
Clemente was still staring at her, perplexed.
“I don’t want to get Westin worried,” she said. “I get nauseous all the time. It is an old habit of mine. No
big deal.”
“Are you sure?” he still looked skeptical.
“Yes. Positive. Now let us go have lunch.
The smell of meat made her sick
Yet she had to pretend that she had a good appetite.
Because Clemente was keeping a closed eye on her.
She didn’t want him to suspect anything.
The most urgent matter at hand was that she needed a pregnancy test from a pharmacy.
She couldn’t ask any of the maids to go get it for her, and certainly not Clemente.
She had to go by herself.
Janet waited till the next day to mention the pharmacy to Clemente since she didn’t want him to
connect this to her former sickness.
“Was there any pharmacy store around the neighborhood?”
She brought this up casually over breakfast.
“There is one right outside of the castle.” Clemente looked up from his coffee, looking alert. “Why do
you need to go to the pharmacy? Are you not feeling well?”
Now he was a chatterbox.
Janet rolled her eyes, “I need a refill for my vitamins.”
“The maid can do that for you.
Janet set her silvers down on the plate, making a clattering noise.
“Am I grounded, Clemente? I can’t leave my room and can’t take a walk outside of the castle. Is that
what it is?” she snapped.
Clemente narrowed his eyes.
He directed a searching look upon Janet.
After a short pause, he uttered a single word, “No.”
“Then I am going to the pharmacy after breakfast.”
“Yes.”
There was a small town outside of the castle, providing all kinds of utilities people needed.
Clemente walked Janet to the pharmacy.
Before he stepped into the store with her, she ordered, “You can stay outside.”
She received another searching look from him.
Yet this time he didn’t fight back and simply stood by the door like a loyal guard. Janet stepped into the
pharmacy store alone.
She picked up a shopping basket and walked down the aisle.
She first tossed a couple of bottles of vitamins into her basket and then kept browsing.
When she passed the birth control aisle, she quickly took a pregnancy test stick and hid it in her
pocket.
Then she went to the checkout counter.
“That will be 24.99, miss,” said the cashier.
Janet handed him a 30–dollar bill, “Keep the change.”
She grabbed the bag of vitamins and exited the store.
Clemente was still standing in the same spot when she left.
“We can go now,” she said to him.
“One second. I just remember that I need something too.”
Clemente went into the store and headed directly to the counter.
The cashier looked up and recognized him at once, “General Clemente, what a great honor-”
Clemente tapped his knuckle on the counter, “What did that lady buy just a moment earlier?”
“That lady? Just some bottles of vitamins.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. She didn’t take the receipt. Here.”
The cashier handed him Janet’s receipt.
Clement looked it over. After making sure that there was nothing skeptical about
That receipt, he handed it back to the cashier, “Thank you.”
He walked out of the store
“You done?” Janet asked with a tight frown.
Yes. Do you want to head back to the castle now, or take a walle?”
Janet wanted to return to her room and take the pregnancy test as soon as possible.
But she couldn’t let Clemente feel that she was in a hurry.
And definitely didn’t want him to get the idea that she was in town specifically for the pharmacy store
So she spent a couple of hours in this small town, wandering around.
She went into a bookstore, checked out a couple of boutique stores, and bought at pair of boots. She
even got a huge bowl of chocolate chip ice cream from an ice joint. The funny thing was that Clemente
insisted on paying for everything she set eyes on She found that very funny, “Why do you do that? You
know I can pay for my own ice cream, right?”
“That is how I was raised,” Clemente said in an absolute matter of course kind of tone.
“Your brother taught you that?”
Janet studied the look on his face.
So Westin was right. Clemente was very close to his brother and had a terrible relationship with his
father.
Would such a man listen to Elder Lamonte if he ordered him to kill her?
She couldn’t be sure.
Clemente blinked.
That was the first time Janet saw a blank look on this young man’s face.
Amused by it, she started laughing.
“Stop it!” he groaned, a blush on his cheeks.
She giggled and sent a spoon of ice cream into her mouth, “Don’t worry. I will pay you back.”
They didn’t return to the castle till the night completely fell.
She took out that pregnancy test from her pocket. Her palm was sweet.
She followed the directions on the box and took the test.
Setting the stick on the water basin, she stared at it, waiting for the result to show.
w
She was praying internally.
Please don’t be positive.
Please don’t be positive.
Please…
As much as she loved to have a kid with Daran, this was the worst time she could get pregnant.
The result showed in half of a minute.
POSITIVE
