Chapter 364 A Baby
Carla was stunned!
It came all of a sudden. The ice under her feet broke and caused her to fall uncontrollably.
On the other hand, Rena looked gloating as she watched Carla and almost clapped her hands.
She had been hoping that the ice would crack but she hadn't expected it to happen in reality.
At the moment, Terence rushed to grab Carla's hand before she completely fell into the ice hole.
Although half of Carla's body was dipped in the water, Terence summoned all his strength to tug her
from sinking.
Nathan hurriedly went to fetch a rope. After getting one, he tied one end to a tree and threw the other to
Terence. "Mr. Terence, catch it!"
Terence caught the rope with his free hand and tied it to his body. Then he started to pull Carla out with
his two hands.
"Carla! Carla! Are you alright?"
Terence kept shouting at her upon pulling her out. He took off his jacket and carefully wrapped Carla
with it. She was chilling really hard.
Immediately, Terrence carried her down the hill. At the same time, Nathan saw a sightseeing bus
coming, so he quickly rushed to stop it and asked the driver to give them a lift.
Without wasting any time, Terence took Carla onto the bus.
He kept calling her name, but she didn't have any strength to reply. The chill seemed to have frozen
Carla.
Terence was worried as hell!
Because of the low-quality clinics here, they went to a hospital instead. It had been a ten-minute drive.
Knowing that Carla's leg just recovered recently, Terence was anxious that what happened might
damage her leg again.
"Terence, I'm fine. There's no need to take me to the hospital..." Carla started to recover but replied in a
trembling voice. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
She wasn't a fragile woman. Thus, she thought that there was no need to go to the hospital at all.
Falling into the cold water wasn't a big deal for her.
"Stop talking." Terence shut her up and then stroked her cold forehead. It hurt him a lot to see Carla's
lips turning purple. He held her tighter against him. After they rushed into the emergency room, Terence
turned the air conditioner to the warmest it could get as if it were his home.
"Doctor, she accidentally fell into the ice just now. Please take a look at her!"
The female doctor was shocked at how Terence behaved. However, it was her duty to treat every
patient that came in.
"Usually, there shouldn't be any problem. She will be fine once her body returns to its normal
temperature," she said before turning to Carla and asking with a scrutinizing stare, "How do you feel,
Miss?"
Carla shook her head and replied in a trembling voice, "Nothing, but my stomach hurts a little."
Other than a mild sting on her tummy, Carla wasn't feeling anything else wrong.
The doctor supposed that Terence and Carla were a couple, so she asked her directly, "Do you have
your period right now?
If you do, then it should be normal." It was just normal for girls to have stomachaches during their
period under some triggers.
However, Carla shook her head and replied, "No, I don't."
"No?
But is it coming soon?" the doctor asked, while she swiftly took the B-ultrasound scanner from her table
and started examining her abdomen. The room Terence walked into was actually the obstetrics and
gynecology department.
It was the only place that didn't have anyone waiting in line. He was under pressure back then and the
only thing in his mind was to have Carla checked as soon as possible.
That was why the room was equipped with the B-ultrasound scanner.
Carla was thinking about when her last period was and why it was delayed when the doctor suddenly
asked, "Do you know that you are one month pregnant now?"
"The embryo has already formed a little heart. It was the reason why your womb hurt when you got
soaked in iced water.
You should start taking folic acid and be careful not to get cold. Your baby made it this time, but you
should be more careful. Still-births are more likely to happen at this sensitive stage,"
reminded the doctor.
Carla's head felt like exploding after she heard what the doctor said. She wasn't able to hear her
completely as her voice suddenly turned into echoes.
She was completely dumbfounded.
It was like everything around her just stopped moving.
It was Terence who first came back to his senses.
"Okay, We will pay more attention next time. Let's go home, darling!" Terence's voice was obviously
laced with excitement. He carefully held her up and walked out of the emergency room.
"How are you feeling now, Carla?
Do you feel sick?
Come back to JA City with me. Leave everything in HA City behind. I'll deal with it. It's better for you to
just leave those troubles and have a good rest. I'll hire the best maid to look after you. Besides, I'll have
my aunt come back from abroad to cook for you. How does that sound?"
Terence found that Nathan, Rainer, and Rena were waiting for them on the bench after they stepped
out.
"Terence, give me a minute..."
muttered Carla. She was still dumbfounded.
Before her mother died, she had reminded her that a girl should keep her virginity to her husband.
However, she was pregnant now and she couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
"I suppose Carla is okay. Let's go back to JA City, Terence. I don't want to be here anymore, please!"
Rena stared at Carla jealously.
It was more than obvious that Terence was ignoring her because Carla was around.
But it was to Rena's surprise that Terence even embraced Carla carefully and guided Carla outside as
if he didn't hear her.
"Terence? Terence? What..."
Rena kept shouting his name, but she still ended up being deliberately ignored.
On the other hand, Rainer and Nathan hurried out to open the car for Terence.
"Where are we going, Mr. Terence?" asked Nathan.
However, Terence just ignored him too. He silently guided Carla to get into the car first, and then sat
next to her. He then affectionately embraced Carla again and asked, "Carla, did you hear anything I
said?"
Unable to calm herself down, Carla shook her head and replied, "I want to go back to my house. I need
time to think about it. I really need time to..."
"Okay, I'll let Nathan drive to your house. Take your time to think about it." Terence signaled for Nathan
to drive.
As a reaction, Nathan and Rainer confusedly exchanged looks in the front seat.
They couldn't understand why Terence changed his attitude so fast.
He was so indifferent to Carla just hours ago. How came he was treating her like a precious baby now?
It was not until the car started moving that they heard Rena shouting from behind.
They forgot her!
"Nathan, let Rainer drive. You get off to deal with Rena. Buy her an air ticket and send her back to JA
City,"
Terence ordered, realizing that Rena was still there.
"Yes, Mr. Terence. But, you know Miss Rena. She is a very tough girl to deal with... "
Nathan expressed his concern.
"Tough? I don't owe her anything. You are good at dealing with those kinds of stuff. Go ahead," said
Terence, lifting his eyebrows.
Rena was just a cover for him from the very beginning. Besides, she obviously had a lot of fun while
acting as Terence's girlfriend for the past few days. She should be grateful for having that opportunity.
"Mr. Terence, do you mean that you don't want to be with Miss Rena anymore?" Nathan asked
surprisingly.
The reason why he asked was that he thought that Terence still needed to use Rena.
However, Terence ignored him again when he turned to Carla and commanded, "Carla, what are you
doing? Lie down. Don't hurt the baby."
He then held her back onto his laps.
Rainer's and Nathan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets with what they heard.
What? What happened?
The baby?
As far as Rainer remembered, they rushed to the hospital because Carla fell into the iced water. Did
that involve a baby? Nathan and Rainer couldn't believe what they heard.
