Annabelle Leighton shook her head.
"I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. I just came for a check-up."
"Where's Morgan?"
"He's at work. I haven't told him yet."
Willow Thorne understood what Annabelle was thinking. After all, Morgan Hayes had a demanding job.
"I'll stay with you then."
"No, it's okay. You go on with your day."
"I'm free this afternoon, and I don't feel right leaving you here alone."
Willow Thorne insisted on staying, so Annabelle Leighton didn't refuse again.
Blood tests, an ultrasound—after a series of examinations, the doctor told Annabelle Leighton she wasn't pregnant. Her irregular period was caused by work-related stress.
The result brought a wave of relief to Annabelle Leighton.
She couldn't bear to imagine what utter chaos her life would become if she had really been pregnant.
Since it was a false alarm, Annabelle Leighton didn't tell Morgan Hayes, but he found out about it from Willow Thorne anyway.
