I'm also Pregnant!

The Mo family had a line of royal physicians who had served the royal family since ancient times. They were competent and their descendants continued to impress the family name. The old lady's original doctor passed away from natural death, so his son stepped in as the new doctor as he was well-versed in the old lady's health.

Dr. Mo injected the old lady with a dose of hydralazine solution to relax the blood vessels, which knocked her out due to the side effects.

Aunt Li tucked the blanket up to her mistress's body, while Yanyue and Beichen stood beside the bed. They were relieved that nothing serious happened to the old lady.

The doctor methodically packed the equipment on the table back into his bag. He turned to the two young people and explained further steps.

"The dowager queen needs to rest until her condition stabilizes. It is best not to disturb her peace in the coming days."

Beichen nodded his head in agreement. Then, he sent the respected doctor out.

Yanyue returned to her room. The spacious room was silent, but inside her mind was a mess. She lied on the bed and closed her eyes.

Creak.

She was alerted and stood up from the bed hastily. The servants would always enter her room after knocking, but she was sure that she didn't hear anyone tapping on the door.

She got up from the bed and met a pair of icy eyes.

"Do you think that you could get away by hiding behind grandma?" Beichen said as he strode over to her.

She furrowed her eyebrows slightly due to confusion. When did she ever hide behind Grandma Lu?

"I've never done anything like that. I can face my own consequences without fear."

He smirked, "If I was even a minute late, Wanyue could have suffered from miscarriage!"

Yanyue was quiet. Bumping into her sister was an accident that even she was confused about. She recalled that her sister was beside her, but their distance was not that close. Even if she moved back to stay away from the snake, they would not have made contact with each other. In the end, she also didn't know how she bumped into her sister and scratched her head.

"If I told you that it was an accident, would you believe me?" she asked, her eyes filled with a hint of hope, "There was a snake and I was trying to make sure that grandma was safe. Bumping into her wasn't my intention."

"This is the palace, there are no dangerous animals such as snakes roaming around. Don't make excuses for your evil actions," he retorted.

She knew that he didn't see the whole thing. He only saw when she was trying to help her sister, but missed the chance so he thought that she pushed his lover down.

"I really didn't mean to hurt her. She is also my sister, why would I want to harm her?" she said while sincerely staring into his eyes, pleading for him to believe her.

"You don't want to hurt her?" he asked mockingly and lifted her chin, "Dare I remind you who drugged me and used grandma's illness to force a marriage? She and I were going to get married, but you destroyed everything! She is a kind woman, so she didn't say anything, but I'm not a gentleman. I can do much worse to you."

Yanyue was shivering and her heart palpitated rapidly. She had never seen him angry to the point where the veins on his forehead were bulging out. It wasn't that he didn't want to listen to her, but he simply wanted to place the blame on her for convenience because he hated her guts.

"I... I didn't drug you and this marriage," she paused and turned her eyes away, "I can't do anything about this marriage... It's too important."

It's too important for him. She didn't want him to lose his inheritance, but she couldn't tell him that.

"Too important? Your greed really has no end," he said grimly. "Since you're greedy for this body, it will satisfy you well!"

He pushed her onto the bed abruptly and tore her clothes off like a madman. Her eyes widened in fear and tears began dripping down her face.

"No, I don't want this! Stop it, Beichen!" she said loudly as she struggled to get out of his hold.

He ignored her pleas and continued to put more pressure on her body. He kissed and sucked her lips until they were pale and numb.

Then, he bit her neck until blood trickled down the slope of her chest, while she gave a grimace of pain. He licked the blood like a destitute vampire who had just woken up from a thousand-year slumber. The more she struggled, the more excited he was to drain out everything in her.

His lips found her well-endowed orbs and couldn't stop nibbling on them. He drew circles with his tongues and even though she hated that he was forcing her, the light sensation made her nipples perked up like a dandelion.

Then, he picked her waist up and aggressively entered into her slightly wet opening without remorse.

She bit her lips from the sudden penetration but also felt that there was electricity brewing up inside of her. She felt like a psycho for even reacting a little.

He channeled his anger into his thrusts. Each one was deep and wild as if he was a beast whose only existence was to torture her.

He flipped her flaccid body over.

"Ahh!" she screamed as she landed heavily on her front.

His lips curled up evilly. He quickly reinserted himself into her.

He enjoyed this position as she looked like a slave under his palm and that idea made his member throbbed with expectation. He sized and touched her round bottom. They were smooth and milky like her skin, but they were too smooth for his liking. He raised his hand and she felt a burn.

Pak!

"Ahh!" she cried out in protest of his slapping, "No!"

The slaps scared her that she tried to slip away from his body. But, he wouldn't let her get that chance. He locked her legs with his and continued to smack her, while his thrusts became more out of control. He was only satisfied when her bottom became as red as a peach. She squirmed her way through to the end.

He let out a low groan as he came on her back. He had never felt this fulfilled from all the times that he tormented her in bed. Perhaps, her defeated expression encouraged the worst side of him, his devils, to come out.

She burrowed her head into the blanket and endured the pain in her heart, while her body bathed in the orgasm he gave her. This dilemma made her ashamed of herself.

Indeed, a beast he was for he inflicted upon her the heaviest pain anyone in her position could bear.

A figure outside the door clutched her hands in a fist. Her face was red and there was an extreme disgust in her eyes.

"Yanyue, you bitch! I will get you for seducing my man!" she scorned, then walked away angrily.

The intense intercourse sucked away all her energy, but she had plans for the day so she forced herself to get up from the messy bed and took a bath once more.

After donning herself up, she called for a taxi. She sighed and thought that she needed a car. The problem was that she didn't know how to drive. Her father, who doted on her a lot, forbade her to drive. When she was a student, their chauffeur was the one who dropped her off at school and also picked her up.

She thought that she could learn how to drive now that she wasn't living at the Shen's mansion anymore, but so much had happened that she often had no time to even take care of herself. Driving was like a dream now.

The taxi dropped her off at the restaurant that she was supposed to meet up with Jason about thirty minutes ago to discuss him becoming Klotho's brand ambassador.

As always, Jason had already arrived and also ordered all the dishes that he knew she would like. And as always, she felt embarrassed for her tardiness.

"Jason, I'm sorry for being late," she said, her voice a little guilty.

Jason smiled, "It's okay, the food is still hot so let's eat first before discussing business."

It was lunchtime now, so she was hungry. Her appetite had been increasing these few days, so without noticing she finished two bowls of rice. When she reached for the fish, a nasty smell hit her nose and her whole body shivered with goosebumps. Her chest was heavy and she felt like the food that she had eaten so far was going to come out back the way they came from.

She wanted to go to the bathroom, but the rumbling feeling in her stomach gave out. She tasted vomit in her mouth and instead of the door, she quickly grabbed the trashcan next to it like a ninja.

She groaned out in pain and her head was throbbing.

Jason got up from his seat and patted her back. Sweat and tears dripped down her body after five long, sufferable minutes.

She wiped her mouth with the tissue that Jason handed to her and slowly sat back on the chair. All her strengths were gone and her eyelids threatened to close themselves.

"Yueyue, what's wrong with you?" the man beside her asked softly and one could tell that he was concerned.

She responded weakly, "I'm not sure, but maybe I ate something wrong?"

Jason said, "You're not feeling well, so let's go to the hospital first. We can discuss this matter later."

With that, he cautiously held onto her body and they drove to the nearest hospital.

The afternoon hours were always the busiest hours, but Jason had connections so she was able to get checked up soon after they arrived at the hospital. Now, they were just waiting for the result.

"Miss Shen, please come in to discuss your result!" a nurse yelled out, typical of a public hospital serving the poorer population.

Yanyue followed the nurse into the doctor's room. She sat on the chair in front of the table and opposite her was an old male doctor. When he smiled to greet her, the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes creased up as well as his lips. No one had ever smiled at her so sincerely like this before. She felt a little warm from the doctor's apparent kindness.

"Miss Shen, you mentioned before that your appetite had been great recently and then you threw up after smelling fish and you've also missed your monthly menstruation," he handed her a piece of paper, "so we did some tests and your hCG came out to be very high."

Yanyue looked down on the sheet of paper the doctor passed her. There was a "Yes" value next to the word "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)."

"What does this mean?" she asked. The doctor's answer shocked her.

"Well, you see, this hormone is produced by the cells that are surrounding a growing embryo, so what this means is that you are pregnant. And it looks like you have been pregnant for a month now. You smelled the fish and vomit because your hormones are changing due to pregnancy, which is often common in the first trimester of pregnancy."

He scribbled something onto another paper.

"I'm going to prescribe some Vitamin B6 for you to try to combat nausea and vomiting. If that is not working, then you can come back and we can try something else."

Yanyue's lost focus after hearing the word "pregnancy" from the doctor's mouth, but she nodded quietly in the end. Her mind was shut and she couldn't think straight. She touched her stomach.

There was a baby inside of her?

She didn't know how to react at all. She wanted to be happy, but there was a lingering fear inside her heart because she was afraid that Beichen would force her to take the baby out. And her fear was valid because of the disgust he had towards her. It was even more dangerous for her and this baby because Wanyue was also pregnant.

She tucked the result and the prescription into her bag and took a deep breath before going to Jason. She was determined to hide her pregnancy for now.
