Chapter 7: Very guilty
"Speechless", "Thanks for your mercy Miss Selom."
"Convey my message about o the top authorizes. They wouldn't like it if I took such news to the press. And they shouldn't push me, the name and image of this hospital would be tarnished forever" Selom said in a threatening tone.
"Sure, I would convey your message to them," Steve said smiling. After a while, he was done talking to his senior and left the ward. He had been outside the country for years, he still had a lot to discuss with her but he couldn't do that here, he would have to find another time to do that.
"Darling, you don't have to do this for me. You know I would always support your decision. I understand how hard this is for you. Just as always, I would stand by you through all. You are never alone" Teresa said sounding very guilty
"Mom, I thought a lot about this before I made my decision. You've always sacrificed yourself just to make me happy. It's now my turn, I am already pregnant, I have no other choice than to accept it even though I am unaware of how it happened. It has already happened so I have to accept it. "
"Darling, Mother is happy to see you being so considerate, I appreciate that. But I would make you a promise, I would make sure I get to the bottom of this okay?"
"Okay mom, I love you so much and you are very important to me" she said looking at her mother with so much love.
"I love you so much too" she said giving her a very tight hug. She felt very proud of her daughter. "So what's your next plan?" She said, sounding very serious. She had come to realize that her daughter wasn't joking when she had said she didn't know how she became pregnant. Though she is an Ophthalmologist, she still remains a Doctor. The only thing she could think of was the process, and this could only be achieved by IVF. But not to worry, she has decided to get to the root of the matter but before that she wanted to know what her daughter's next plan is.
"I would be keeping the baby, it's been formed already. So I wouldn't hurt an innocent child. I'm planning to travel outside the country to raise this child. Maybe when he/she is a little wiser I may come back into the country."
"I am so proud of you honey," Teresa said,giving her daughter a kiss on her forehead.
"But mom, something baffles me. I am 12 weeks pregnant but I don't see any sign. My stomach hasn't increased at all, it still looks so small" she said, touching her stomach. She was 12 weeks pregnant and her stomach isn't protruding at all.
(Laughing) " I should be more shocked darling, you were so busy that you didn't even notice your missed periods. Maybe we should go take a scan. It could happen that your own stress has affected your baby's growth"
