Chapter 47

Monica successfully convinced Anastasia to get in her car, and then she started talking nonsense.

“Ana, I had a nightmare last night, scared the bejesus out of me, so I came to find you”

Anastasia just looked at her, not saying a word, with a ‘you’ve got to be kidding me expression.

Monica continued her rambling, hugging Anastasia tightly, sobbing and saying, “Ana, seriously, I

dreamt that my boyfriend betrayed me and took all my money. Can you imagine how terrifying that is?”

Monica was dating a guy three years younger than her. She never takes men over twenty–five

seriously

Her dating criteria were under twenty–five, over eighteen, handsome, sweet–talker, and obedient.

“Well, that’s indeed scary How’s your boyfriend doing lately? Any signs of him planning to take all your

money?”

In reality, Anastasia didn’t believe Monica, she wasn’t born yesterday, but she was willing to listen to

Monica’s nonsense, knowing that she meant no

harm

“He’s a good boy, Monica said. “By the way, where did you get your medical checkup?”

“Hope Hospital”

An hour later.

They arrived at Hope Hospital. Anastasia had booked an appointment on her phone, and it was just her

turn when they got to the hospital.

The doctor gave Anastasia a checkup form, asked her to have a blood test, and examined her liver,

gallbladder, spleen, and kidneys.

Monica stayed with Anastasia throughout. Anastasia joked, “Look at you, all worried. People might

think we’re a couple,”

Monica replied, “If I were a guy, I’d definitely marry you. I wouldn’t let Herman get the chance.”

Anastasia teased back. “Then be a man in your next life, I would marry you. I’ll go show the test result

to the doctor.”

“I’ll come too, Monica was worried inside.

Ever since the incident a few years ago, whenever Anastasia fell ill, Monica and Salma would get all

tensed up, fearing what the hospital checkup might

reveal

The doctor took a look at the test report and asked routinely. “Are you married?”

Anastasia replied, “…I am married.”

The doctor asked again, “Do you have children?”

Hearing this question, Monica got nervous and quickly answered for Anastasia, “No, my friend

The doctor looked at Anastasia and asked again, “Have you ever given birth?”

Anastasia shook her head, “No.”

1 have any children.

Monica, worried that the doctor might say something inappropriate, deliberately changed the subject,

“Doctor, is my friend’s checkup okay?”

“She’s fine,” the doctor was just asking routinely. The checkup included an examination of the uterus

and appendages, and the results seemed like she had given birth.

But seeing Anastasia’s firm denial, and considering she was just here for a checkup, the doctor didn’t

say anything more.

Anastasia didn’t think much of it; some doctors would routinely ask married women if they had given

birth. She hadn’t, so she just answered truthfully.

The doctor signed on Anastasia’s checkup book and said, “You’re good to go.”

“Thank you.”

Anastasia took the checkup form, and Monica breathed a sigh of relief.

They were walking in the corridor when Monica said, “It’s nearly lunchtime, Ana, you should treat me.

I’ve been with you since early morning, haven’t even had breakfast”

“Sure, what do you want to eat? My treat, Anastasia generously offered. “Let’s consider it a celebration

of me getting a job at Elysian Technologies.”

*Sound good!”

“Monica, that guy looks like my cousin’s husband,” Anastasia interrupted Monica, looking at a man

walking towards them from a distance.

The man was supporting a woman who was proudly saying. “You saw it just now, I’m carrying a boy.

When are you going to divorce and marry me? If you don’t marry me, I won’t give birth, leaving your

family without a kid. Gianna married you for eight years and hasn’t given birth. I’ve given you a

daughter and now carrying a son, it’s time I join your family”

The man, trying to appease the woman, reassured, “I’ll divorce soon, there’s no love left between me

and her. Don’t get upset, it’s not good for the baby. This is the heir of the Edmunds family, you need to

be careful.”

Before he could finish, he looked up and saw Anastasia in the corridor. His expression changed

dramatically as he was taken aback, “Anastasia…”

“Joey Edmunds”

Anastasia was equally shocked. The words she had spoken had actually come true. Gianna’s husband

Joey had really found another woman to have children with, and she was even pregnant with her

second child.

His ability to keep secrets was really something
