16.Eleanor Lee (4)

Inside the huge shopping Mall's packing lot, Lee Xue almost collapsed on the hard floor when her fiance was on the phone standing next to their car but luckily due to his quick reflexes, he was able to grab her waist saving her from the fall.

 She had been suffering from dizziness for the past several days but it got the best of her on that day.

 They had gone to make their final shopping in preparation for their wedding which was due in 3 days but she felt fatigued all day long and just desired laying on her bed.

 Realizing the gravity of the matter after she had almost lost her consciousness, they decided to go to the hospital. It was best to treat the illness earlier lest it disrupted their wedding plans.

 " I'm sorry, I've something urgent to attend to at the company, can you go first I'll join you later? I promise it won't take long... "

 Lee Xue's head fell as a flash of melancholy that quickly disappeared as it came appeared in her lowered eyes.

 Biting her lower lip, she lightly smiled at him and nodded.

 " It's ok. Go and take care of the problem. I'll take a taxi to the hospital, my best friend is probably free, I'll ask her out. "

 Liu Rong gave her a slight gaze before nodding, " okay I'll get going. "

 He got into the car and drove off, not that his eagle like eyes had missed the flash of disappointment in her eyes. He was a CEO, there were far more important matters requiring his attention.

 ***

 Exiting the taxi, Lee Xue met her best friend Huang Limei who had already arrived at the hospital's gate.

 " Xu'er what happened? You sounded so weak on the phone... Are you okay? How are you feeling? "

 Huang Limei fired a series of questions at Lee Xue placing her palm on her forehead to check whether she had a fever.

 " I'm okay, it's just a little headache and dizziness... I guess I'm just nervous about the wedding. "

 " Hey hey, nothing bad should happen before this wedding takes place. This is my only chance of becoming a bridesmaid you know! "

 Huang Limei placed her hands on her hips as she ranted.

 Rolling her eyes at her friend's overreaction, Lee Xue made her way to the entrance saying, " you don't want to stay here forever, do you? "

 ***

 " Miss Lee your results are ready... "

 " Doctor how is she? Is there a problem? "

 Huang Limei stood up interrupting the middle aged doctor who had just reentered his office carrying the results of the tests that Lee Xue had undergone.

 " No no miss Huang. It's completely the opposite. It's good news. "

 " What do you mean? "

 Lee Xue furrowed her brows at the smiling male doctor who in turn handed her an envelope.

 " Oh my God Lee Xue is this true?! How is this possible?! "

***

 Later once inside the luxurious Lee mansion located in one of the richest districts in the town, Huang Limei slowly helped her friend to the white couch in the living room.

 She looked very disoriented, pale and sickly.

 " I'll get you a glass of water. "

 Huang Limei sighed before heading to the kitchen to fetch Lee Xue a glass of water.

 She also looked confused herself.

 " Miss what would you like me to get you? "

 A young maid courteously asked once she saw Huang Limei making her entrance to the kitchen.

 " No need, it's just a glass of water. "

 " Miss I... "

" I said I'm okay you can leave... now. "

 The maid slightly bowed and exited the kitchen when Huang Limei suddenly raised her voice, leaving her alone in the large kitchen.

 Walking out of the kitchen, Huang Limei's hand paused on the door knob for a while before she opened the door and got out after some time.

 " What are you now going to do with the pregnancy? "

 She asked passing the glass to Lee Xue whose body was violently trembling.

 " I... "

 " What?!! What pregnancy? Who's pregnant? "

 Bang!!!

 The glass suddenly slipped off Lee Xue' hands crashing on the floor spilling the entire content. Her body was frozen while her heart was thumping frantically against her chest.

 " Xu'er are you really pregnant? B... but brother Rong has never t-touched you... "

 A young and soft female voice rang from upstairs.

 At this time Lee Xue's body was shaking like a leaf. She looked like someone who had been struck by lightning as she motionlessly stood on the broken pieces of glass on the floor. Her crisp orbs were stuck on the group of people that had just entered the living room due to the commotion.

 Her elder sister, her parents and her fiance's parents who had come to their house in preparation for the wedding.

 " Lee Xue whose pregnancy is that?! "

 Yang Hua, her mom angrily snapped at her looking as if she was ready to slaughter her at any second.
