The steam from the hot water in the cup slowly rose and covered Mia’s eyelashes. It looked like Mia had cried. She lowered her eyes and was quiet for a long time. It was so long that Senior thought Mia had figured it out and was going to give up on the child.

However, Mia’s soft voice suddenly sounded. “Because, this is… this is his child.”

The senior looked at Mia in shock and suddenly realized something. “Mia, could it be that you…”

“Senior, after the divorce, I’ll leave this place and never come back. Perhaps this baby will be my only memory and proof of this past.”

After saying this, Mia gently stroked her lower abdomen, revealing a gentle smile. Then, she slowly and firmly nodded. “Yes, Senior. I like him.”

After another pause, Mia asked, “So, Senior, do you have this medicine?”

The senior stared at Mia for a long while. He was shocked and confused, but in the end, he still felt that he should respect Mia’s decision. After all, Mia was the person involved, and she was the one with the most authority to make the decision.

Hence, the senior sat down and thought for a while. “There is such medicine, but it is harmful to the body. Are you sure you want to do this?”

Mia frowned slightly. “Will that affect the baby?” she asked.

“Long-term use of this medicine will definitely have some negative effect.” The senior tapped Mia’s forehead, and just like in the past, Mia seemed to still be the little girl who had chased him around the university campus and called him senior.

Then, the senior continued, “But the effect of this medicine on you is actually the greatest. In the initial stages of taking this medicine, you will have headaches, bad appetite, and other side effects. Your body will feel especially uncomfortable. I don’t think your delicate body can handle it.”

“Senior, it’s okay. Just give it to me. I can handle these,” Mia said anxiously.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Listen to me. I’ll recommend this oral serum to you. Although the effect isn’t that strong, it can still cover up the symptoms of pregnancy, and it won’t make you feel too uncomfortable,” the senior said.

Mia thought for a moment. “When will this drug affect the baby?”

“At about three to four months, but it still depends on one’s physique. After all, everyone’s physical condition is different,” the senior said.

“That should be enough,” Mia murmured. Then she looked up again and said firmly to the senior, “Give me the prescription.”

Hence, Mia began taking the medicine that Senior had prescribed for her at the beginning of the second month of her pregnancy, even though Senior had told Mia beforehand about the possible side effects.

However, it was only after taking the medicine for the first time and experiencing a splitting headache, discomfort, and nausea that Mia realized that her senior was right. This side effect was really not something an ordinary person could withstand. It was simply too unbearable.

The disgusting and uncomfortable feeling was stuck in her chest. Her head hurt so much that it felt like there were many little needles constantly stabbing her. Mia curled up on the bed in pain. Even her fingertips were trembling and her ears were starting to ring.

Fortunately, after the medicine was prescribed, Senior very considerately found an empty ward for Mia and let her have a good rest after taking the medicine. About half an hour later, Mia slowly began to recover. After the recovery of the first time she took the medicine, she was covered in sweat.

After regaining her composure, Mia’s breathing quickened as she hurriedly reached out to touch her lower abdomen. She was a little worried that her condition earlier might have affected the baby. For a moment, she began to regret not choosing to take oral fluid. However, taking the oral fluid was not as effective as taking medicine. She and Noah lived in the same house every day. What if she was discovered?

As the buzzing in her ears faded, Mia got up, packed her clothes, and said goodbye to her senior before heading home.

After returning home, Mia, afraid that Noah would smell the medicine on her body, hurriedly washed up and changed her clothes.

Just as she came out of the bathroom after washing up, she heard someone knocking on the door. It was very urgent, and it was obvious that he was already very impatient. Bang, bang, bang, bang. The knocking made Mia’s heart tremble.

Mia hesitated for a while before slowly walking to the door and opening it. The moment she opened the door, she saw Noah standing at the door and dressed neatly. The well-tailored suit made Noah look even taller and more handsome. Mia was instantly attracted to him again.

Noah’s impatient voice sounded. “What are you doing inside? Why didn’t you open the door for a long time?”

Then, after a pause, Noah seemed to have smelled a floral fragrance mixed with the fruity scent of honey peaches. It was very sweet and tempting. It was Mia’s scent.

Because Mia had just washed up, the sweet smell was extremely strong.

This was blatant seduction.

Noah’s gaze changed immediately. He looked at Mia with a menacing gaze.

They hadn’t made out in a long time since Mia had thrown a tantrum with him. Mia had always been the one to initiate it, so this was the first time Noah had been this lustful.

So without waiting for Mia to answer, Noah lifted his hand and pulled Mia into his arms by pulling her slender waist tight. He lowered his head and sniffed Mia’s neck, then began to move restlessly toward Mia’s sensitive earlobe.

Mia shivered in fear. The moment Noah’s familiar scent closed in on her, instinct made her body go weak. Mia managed to gather enough strength to push him away before Noah intimately rubbed his mouth against her earlobe.

Noah’s eyes darkened. As a man, he could not allow his woman to escape at this moment.

Mia saw the situation and hurriedly said, “No.”

Noah was speechless.

Mia’s single word extinguished his desire. Noah was really furious. “What do I have to say for you to believe that the report is fake?! Fake!”

Mia didn’t say anything. First, she stepped away from Noah cautiously before speaking. “About the divorce… you promised me.”

Noah had been really busy with work recently. He had only gone on a few business trips. If he had not seen Mia still in the guest room, he would have forgotten about the divorce.

However, he didn’t expect Mia to insist on getting a divorce because of this. Hence, he was even more furious. He looked at Mia expressionlessly for a while before turning around to leave. “Today is the day I go to the hospital to visit Grandfather. Hurry up and pack up and prepare to leave.”

Mia hurriedly shut the door.

The sound of the door closing behind him made Noah stop in his tracks. Mia’s look of fear that he would pounce on her made his head hurt. Hence, he could not help but curse softly.

On the other side, Mia was nervously patting her thumping chest.

Fortunately, she had just taken her medicine and showered. Otherwise, Noah would have probably discovered her. His observation skills were really sharp.

The effective period of taking the medicine was around a week. The weather had been getting colder recently, and Mia was afraid of the cold. She had to wear several layers of clothes every winter, so even if her body had changed slightly, Noah should not be able to tell.

Mia was slightly relieved. If that was the case, she could still stay here for a few more days. At the very least, she could wait until the elderly in their family was discharged and returned home safely.

After thinking about this, Mia quickly changed her clothes and went to the hospital with Noah, who still didn’t look too happy.

Noah’s grandfather and Mia’s grandfather were comrades back then. The two elders had a very good relationship back then, and they had agreed to have an arranged marriage for their children.

However, at that time, both families had a boy. They had no choice but to wait for the children of both families to grow up, marry, and have children. If one family had a boy and the other had a girl, then the marriage between the two families would be settled.

Later, due to work reasons, Mia’s parents moved out of the city where they had lived together for many years. A few years after Mia was born, her parents got into a car accident together and Mia was sent to the orphanage by her relatives. Because of this, Mia grew up in the orphanage and even changed her name before going to university.

Many years later, Noah’s grandfather finally found Mia again after many twists and turns. After his grandfather found out about Mia’s experiences over the years, he had always been heartbroken and guilty for not finding her earlier. He also requested Noah to fulfill his promise and take good care of Mia.

Noah’s type was not this kind of ordinary and fragile girl. Mia knew this from the start. It was also because of this that for so many years, Mia did not expect Noah to like her.

Noah was usually very busy and rarely visited his grandfather at the hospital. Mia loved painting and was considered a decent painter, but she hadn’t been to the gallery much. She’d spent most of her time with the elderly in her family lately.

When the two of them arrived at the hospital, the old man just happened to wake up. When he opened his eyes, he saw them and was extremely happy. He ordered his wife to bring out all the good food and delicacies. He couldn’t wait to give them all the good stuff that he treasured.

Although Grandma was extremely annoyed, she said, “You old fellow, you only know how to bully me everyday. If you have the ability, come down yourself. You only know how to command me.”

Grandpa did not get angry when Grandma scolded him. Instead, he laughed.

Seeing this loving scene, Mia’s heart stirred. This was the life that she had once yearned for, to banter with the person she loved. Such a life was beautiful, but life was not her own drama.

Mia, who was lost in her own thoughts, was pulled back and quickly regained her senses to cooperate with Noah.

In front of the old man, Noah had always been very good at pretending that the two of them were very loving and doting on Mia. Hence, the two of them had always been working together, and Grandpa did not notice anything wrong.

After a while, Grandpa started to ask about Noah’s company. When Grandma saw that the two of them were starting to talk about something, she said, “They’re discussing work here again. Come on, Mia, let’s go wash the fruits and ignore them..”
