Chapter 5 Pregnant?

• Lewis Jonas lowered the partition again and looked down at Alana Smith in his arms. Her eyes were closed, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes. She was crying just now. Such a fragile young woman!
• He checked her ID card. She was only eighteen years old. It meant that she had just turned into an adult and reached the marriageable age of S Country. No wonder although she looked so stubborn and pretended to be familiar with love affairs, she still shed tears in the process.
• While Lewis Jonas was sizing up Alana Smith’s little face with great interest, his phone suddenly vibrated. He had a phone call, and it obviously disturbed her sleep because her body moved.
• He gently put her down, afraid of waking her up. Then he got out of the car and answered his phone.
• At this moment, the entire overpass was packed. Since they were stuck, many people got out of their cars to smoke and chat. So Lewis Jonas’s move wasn’t obtrusive.
• Alana Smith was awakened when he got out of the car.
• She looked around, wondering where she could be. Then she sat up, rubbed her eyes, and recalled everything that happened in a daze.
• In the Civil Affairs Bureau, she had stopped Lewis Jonas, the driver of the Jonas family, who she had only met twice before, and had asked him to have sex with her.
• Was it over now?
• She softly hissed when she felt pain. It was really not a good experience at all.
• When she came to her senses, Alana Smith quickly grabbed her ID card on the seat.
• As she touched the marriage certificates, she unconsciously opened them and saw her name.
• The other name next to hers was Lewis Jonas!
• That was the driver of Jonas Group’s young master.
• She had truly got the marriage certificates with him!
• Alana Smith looked at the two names side by side in utter shock.
• She had only meant to sleep with him once, but he must have gotten the idea she wanted this for the rest of her life.
• Regretful, Alana Smith wrapped a strand of hair around her finger, wishing she could slap herself.
• “Is Lewis Jonas out of his mind?” Staring at the marriage certificates, Alana Smith continued, “Anyway, this isn’t all his fault. I said something at the Civil Affairs Bureau that made him think I wanted this. But I don’t have the right state of mind to get married or the confidence to make a relationship work. I don’t know what to do to get other people’s trust in me...”
• ‘Sorry, Lewis Jonas,’ she thought.
• She quickly put her ID card in her pocket but didn’t dare to touch the two certificates beside it again.
• Realizing the car was parked on an overpass, she looked out of the window and saw the man’s back. The sun slowly rose, covering his tall and strong figure, as if he had a special light around him.
• Without any hesitation, she opened the door and got out of the car. Then she made her way through the crowd and other vehicles, quickly disappearing in the distance.
• Since the overpass was congested with cars and angry people, naturally, no one noticed where that tall and fragile girl had gone.
• Afterward, Alana Smith went straight to the airport, where she bought an air ticket and flew to the United States.
• The first thing she did once she arrived there was to draft a divorce agreement and a commission for the attorney who would take care of it. Then she sent the papers to her best friend and asked her to forward them to Lewis Jonas of Jonas Group.
• She didn’t think she could handle a marriage or any kind of relationship now and refused to restrain Lewis Jonas with the marriage. As long as he signed the divorce agreement and submitted it, everything would be fine.
• Such a short marriage could be treated as if it never happened to him.
• However, four months later, Alana Smith found herself pregnant.
• Everything had happened so quickly after her escape that she hadn’t considered taking a morning-after pill. At the time, Alana Smith hadn’t thought she would have a baby.
• Since her period wasn’t regular, and she had chronic gastritis, she didn’t pay much attention to her symptoms. She thought all the discomfort she felt was caused by her stomach disease.
• It was not until her symptoms worsened that she went to the hospital and found she was a few months pregnant already.
• Once Alana Smith got the examination report, her pretty face fell, and her heart turned into a mess.
• She closed her eyes then, and suddenly her mind was filled with images of Lewis Jonas’s face.
• As she opened her eyes again, Alana Smith reread the examination report carefully and confirmed she was indeed pregnant.
• How could a woman unable to maintain a relationship get along well with a child?
• Alana Smith’s eyelashes fluttered weakly as she thought about what to do. Clenching her hands, she finally decided that the best solution was to have an abortion.
• “The baby is already a few months old. We can’t operate you anymore.”
• “You can’t have the abortion here. I’m sorry, Miss Su, it’s impossible.”
• “Besides, you’re expecting twins. Are you sure that’s what you want to do?”
• These were twins. Was she really considering killing them?
• Alana Smith closed her beautiful eyes, trying to hide her sadness every time she had to hear those kinds of responses.
• A few months later, in a hospital in the United States, Alana Smith entered the delivery room.
• By the time she opened her weak eyes, she met the doctor’s regretful gaze as he said, “Miss Su, one of the children was seriously ill. We’ve done our best, but...”
• A mix of joy and sadness took over Alana Smith’s heart. She had never felt so torn in her life.
