Chapter 739

Soon, Natalie was sent onto the ambulance.

Joyce accompanied her as well.

Coincidentally, the ambulance that arrived was from the hospital which Natalie had gone to for the DNA
test yesterday.

While Natalie was pushed into the emergency room, Joyce paced outside worriedly.

After a long time, the doors of the emergency room finally opened.

Joyce quickly blocked the doctor who was walking out. “Doctor, how’s my friend?”

“She’s fine. However, she’s not been having enough rest recently and she’s extremely stressed. She’s
also slightly malnourished, so she suddenly fainted. Luckily, her baby is fine. She just needs to be more
careful in the future,” said the doctor as he took off his mask.

Joyce was stunned. She gaped for a long while before uttering, “What did you say? You said that my
friend has a baby… Is she pregnant?”

“Yes. She’s one and a half months pregnant.” The doctor nodded. Ignoring Joyce, who was completely
stunned, he turned around and left.

Blinking, Joyce glanced at the emergency room, then at the doctor’s back. It took a while before she
could accept the fact that Natalie was pregnant.

She forced out an ugly smile on her face. “Why is she pregnant at this juncture?”

Logically speaking, I should be happy that Natalie is pregnant.



However, the timing of her pregnancy is wrong. It happened right when Shane’s attitude toward Natalie
took such a drastic change. If both of them did not reconcile, what’ll happen to the child?

I’m having such a huge headache!

While Joyce smacked her head, she saw Natalie being pushed out.

Joyce followed her to hospital ward to take care of her.

It was already two in the afternoon by the time Natalie woke up.

She sat up and said, “Joyce.”

“You’re finally awake. I was so shocked when you suddenly fainted.” Joyce stood up and placed a
pillow behind her back. “Do you feel uncomfortable?”

“No, just a little tired.” Natalie shook her head. “I’m a bit dizzy too. Oh, right. What happened to me?”

“You didn’t have enough sleep and you’re under too much stress. Also, you’re slightly malnourished,”
replied Joyce as she pouted.

Natalie nodded in acknowledgement. She was not surprised by her current situation.

She knew clearly that she was not resting or eating well. That was why she was lacking in nutrients.

However, Joyce’s subsequent words caused Natalie to be completely stunned.

“Nat, other than that, your biggest problem is that you’re pregnant.” Joyce pointed at her stomach.

Natalie’s eyes widened as she touched her stomach subconsciously. “I… I’m pregnant?”

“Yes, for one and a half months.” Joyce nodded.



Natalie lowered her head and gazed at her stomach, feeling a myriad of emotions—happiness,
excitement and helplessness.

When Joyce saw that, she poured a glass of water for Natalie. “Alright, stop looking. Your baby’s fine.
Drink some water, okay? I just ordered some chicken soup earlier. It’ll be delivered soon.”

“Thank you.” Natalie took the glass gratefully.

Joyce smiled. “Why are you thanking me? I’m your best friend, after all. What are you planning to do
with your baby?”

“What do you mean?”

“Stop pretending that you don’t know. I’m asking you if you plan on having the baby, or…”

She did not finish her sentence.

However, Natalie understood that Joyce was asking her if she wanted to abort the child.

The joy Natalie felt from her pregnancy immediately disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a sense
of fear and unease.

When Joyce saw her face turning pale, she became nervous. “What’s wrong, Nat?”

“Joyce, what should I do?” Natalie bit her lips, her voice choking up.

Joyce was confused. “What’s going on?”

Natalie told Joyce about her argument with Shane last night.



When she heard it, her jaw dropped. “So, Mr. Shane thinks that Yulia killed his parents and that he has
the evidence for it?”
