CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery novel Chapter 1266

"Miss Lydia, why aren’t you going in?"

Lydia jumped, startled by the voice of her colleague, Layla, who had appeared behind her.

Forcing a smile, she said, "It's nothing… Oh, actually, can you hand this in for me? Something just came up."

She handed the documents to Layla and, before she could respond, Lydia hurried away.

Feeling overwhelmed, Lydia rushed out of the building, her emotions tangled and heavy. She wandered aimlessly down the busy street, unsure of where to go.

The steady flow of cars and rushing business professionals only deepened her sense of disconnection. Nowhere felt right, and the world seemed to spin around her without a place for her to belong. Lost in thought, she felt utterly out of place.

Just then, her phone rang.

Without thinking, she answered, and to her surprise, it was Mrs. Perez.

"Miss Lydia, do you have a moment?" Mrs. Perez's voice was calm, almost too casual. "If you're free, I'd like to meet you somewhere."

Fifteen minutes later, Lydia found herself standing outside the women’s health clinic, frozen in disbelief. It was a quiet weekday, so there weren’t many people in the waiting area.

The nurse quickly called her name. "Next, Lydia."

Lydia stood but hesitated, feeling uncertain.

Mrs. Perez, ever so "helpful," took her purse with a smile that barely masked her true feelings. "Go ahead, I’ll hold onto your things for you."

Lydia couldn’t shake the confusion. Why had Mrs. Perez suddenly brought her here? Why was her attitude toward Lydia so drastically different?

But in the end, she didn’t ask any questions and complied.

The results came back quickly. The doctor glanced at the test results and smiled warmly, a smile Lydia had seen before. "Congratulations, you’re pregnant."

Lydia hesitated for a moment. "Your mom. She took me to the doctor today."

Quincy stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing instantly. He didn’t want to speak poorly of his mother but couldn’t hide his concern. "If you're ever uncomfortable, it’s okay to say no."

"I’m not uncomfortable," Lydia said, shaking her head.

She didn’t want him to worry. Forcing a smile, she added, "Honestly, she’s been kind to me today. Look, she even brought all this stuff for me."

Quincy glanced at the pile of supplements again, his frown easing slightly.

Lydia, however, couldn’t focus on her meal, her thoughts swirling.

The next day, Mrs. Perez showed up at their house, unannounced.

Lydia’s housekeeper, Mrs. Lucy, who opened the door was startled, asking, "And you are...?"
