\n**Chapter 130: Adriana Is Pregnant**<\/p>\n
Adriana stood there, her head shaking slowly, disbelief etched across her features. \u201cI haven\u2019t taken any medication or received any shots. Whether you believe it or not is entirely up to you,\u201d she declared, her voice steady despite the turmoil within her.<\/p>\n
Her heart raced, pounding against her chest like a frantic drum. Was this exhilarating sensation a result of her fervent prayers? Could it be that she was truly pregnant?<\/p>\n
As she stepped closer, tears brimmed in her eyes, glistening with a mixture of hope and fear. She reached out and grasped the test results, a smile breaking through her anxiety.<\/p>\n
Could it possibly be true? Am I really carrying a child?<\/p>\n
\u201cAdriana, someone like you has no credibility. If you have any guts, come back next week for another test!\u201d Nicole\u2019s voice sliced through the air, sharp and venomous, her anger palpable. Even if there was a chance Adriana was pregnant, Nicole was determined to ensure that it would come to an end within the week. There was no way she would allow Adriana to keep that baby.<\/p>\n
The thought of a real pregnancy sent a shiver down Nicole\u2019s spine. If it were genuine, the divorce proceedings would be postponed for at least a year\u2014a year that felt like an eternity. Too many things could spiral out of control in that time.<\/p>\n
\u201cFine, I\u2019ll come back in a week,\u201d Adriana replied, her grip tightening around the test results as if they were a lifeline.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s hope you really are pregnant,\u201d Harold interjected, his words dripping with disdain before he turned on his heel and stormed out.<\/p>\n
Nicole shot Adriana one last scathing look, filled with contempt, before she too exited the room, leaving behind an echo of tension.<\/p>\n
Once the door clicked shut, Irene approached Adriana, her expression softening. \u201cAdriana, may I ask how old you are?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana met Irene\u2019s gaze with gratitude, feeling a warmth in her chest. \u201cThank you for asking; I\u2019m 23 this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene nodded thoughtfully. Twenty-three\u2014a ripe age for new beginnings and possibilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnna has had a rough life; it\u2019s high time she received some good news,\u201d Margaret interjected, her voice breaking slightly with emotion. \u201cYears ago, someone abandoned her at the door of our orphanage. Most of the children here face significant challenges, many with congenital issues or disabilities, but Anna has always been healthy and beautiful. I can\u2019t fathom how her parents could be so cruel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s hands trembled as she took a deep breath, the weight of Margaret\u2019s words settling heavily in the air.<\/p>\n
Adriana had been left at the doorstep of an orphanage, a healthy child cast aside among those who needed extra care\u2026<\/p>\n
Could her biological parents truly possess such a callous heart?<\/p>\n
From the very beginning, Adriana had appeared to be a bright, polite, and stunning child.<\/p>\n
\u201cCongratulations! Now that you\u2019re carrying Curtis\u2019s baby, perhaps your streak of bad luck is finally coming to an end,\u201d Irene said, her voice warm and encouraging as she gently patted Adriana\u2019s head. \u201cCurtis may have his flaws, but he\u2019s protective.\u201d A smile danced on Irene\u2019s lips as she regarded Adriana. \u201cWhat a lovely young lady you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana felt a rush of warmth flood her cheeks, her gaze dropping to the floor. \u201cThank you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Before she could finish her sentence, Irene playfully tugged at a strand of Adriana\u2019s hair, pulling it just enough to make Adriana wince.<\/p>\n
Irene glanced down at her own ring, irritation flickering across her face. \u201cUgh, this ridiculous thing always snags on everything. Did that hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana quickly shook her head, brushing off the minor discomfort. It was just a few hairs, nothing to fuss over.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell then, if that\u2019s all, you should head home with Margaret and get some rest. No need to return to the hotel; just stay at Curtis\u2019s place since you\u2019re pregnant now,\u201d Irene instructed, signaling the driver to take Adriana home.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds like too much trouble. We can just take a taxi\u2026\u201d Adriana\u2019s cheeks burned with embarrassment at the thought of imposing.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all. It\u2019s no trouble for me. I have a checkup too, so the driver can drop you off first and then come back for me,\u201d Irene replied with a reassuring smile. \u201cBesides, you\u2019re carrying a baby now\u2014treat yourself like a VIP in these early months.\u201d Her tone was light, clearly encouraging Adriana not to feel awkward about the situation.<\/p>\n
With no further argument left, Adriana nodded and departed with Margaret.<\/p>\n
After they left, Irene looked down at the hair she had pulled, deep in thought.<\/p>\n
Whether the pregnancy was real or not, she was determined to have a paternity test done first.<\/p>\n
She wasn\u2019t the type to sit idly by and speculate; she believed in hard evidence.<\/p>\n
Carefully placing the hair in a sealed bag, Irene settled onto a nearby bench and made a call. \u201cPlease come pick me up from Haldoria Hospital and arrange for a paternity test. It must be kept strictly confidential.\u201d<\/p>\n
A chuckle came from the other end of the line. \u201cIf your family weren\u2019t so wealthy, all these paternity tests would have bankrupted you by now. Ever thought about starting your own lab?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEnough of your nonsense. Finding someone is like scratching a lottery ticket; you never know what you\u2019ll get,\u201d Irene replied, her head hanging low, a mix of hope and anxiety swirling within her.<\/p>\n
What if she really is the one?<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll be there soon,\u201d came the response.<\/p>\n
After hanging up, a smirk crept onto Irene\u2019s face as she dialed Curtis\u2019s number.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis, I have both good news and bad news for you. Which would you prefer to hear first?\u201d Irene asked, her tone teasing.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust tell me,\u201d Curtis replied, clearly uninterested in playing games.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoring,\u201d Irene huffed, leaning back on the bench. \u201cYour grandfather is dead serious about having you two divorced and is planning to make a move on Adriana.\u201d<\/p>\n
A heavy silence enveloped the conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever\u2026 there\u2019s good news too. Your wife\u2019s blood test results are in\u2014she\u2019s pregnant, in the early stages.\u201d As soon as Irene finished her statement, Curtis had already hung up the phone, leaving her in stunned silence.<\/p>\n
Irene burst into laughter, shaking her head in disbelief. How rude! Couldn\u2019t he even muster a simple thank you?<\/p>\n
Most people would assume that Curtis didn\u2019t care about Adriana, that she was merely a placeholder or an excuse.<\/p>\n
But Irene wasn\u2019t so shallow. She could see right through that fa\u00e7ade. Adriana meant far more to him than anyone realized.<\/p>\n
Yet, Irene couldn\u2019t comprehend why Curtis held back his emotions.<\/p>\n
\u201cYounger generations are such a mystery,\u201d she sighed, shaking her head in exasperation.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
At Curtis\u2019s villa.<\/p>\n
Adriana returned home with Margaret, her eyes widening in awe as she took in the grandeur of the villa. \u201cThis house could fit several of our orphanages!\u201d she exclaimed, her voice filled with wonder.<\/p>\n
In the aftermath of the shocking revelation, Adriana stood at the precipice of a new life, her heart a tumultuous blend of hope and uncertainty. The weight of her past loomed large, yet the possibility of motherhood ignited a flicker of optimism within her. The warmth of Irene\u2019s encouragement and the sense of belonging she felt in the villa contrasted sharply with the cold dismissal from Nicole and Harold. As she clutched the test results, a symbol of potential and new beginnings, Adriana began to envision a future that transcended the abandonment she had once endured. The journey ahead promised challenges, but for the first time, she felt a sense of agency over her own narrative, a chance to rewrite her story.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Curtis\u2019s reaction to the news hung in the air like a question mark, leaving Adriana to ponder the depths of their relationship. She sensed that beneath his aloof exterior lay a profound connection that had yet to fully surface. As she explored the opulence of the villa, a stark contrast to her humble beginnings, she realized that this moment was not just about her pregnancy, but about forging a new identity and embracing the love that might accompany it. With the shadows of her past slowly receding, Adriana took a deep breath, ready to face whatever lay ahead, buoyed by the hope that perhaps this time, time would indeed heal her, if only she chose to listen.<\/p>\n
