Chapter 1648
After a moment of thought, Winona explained, “I care because he’s my friend. It has nothing to do with being in love p>
“You really don’t have feelings for him?” Elysia pressed.
Winona shook her head. “Not even one! God, I’m just so frustrated. If he didn’t want me to deal with Beatrix, he should have just said so beforehand. Not say a word, and then give me the cold shoulder afterward p>
Elysia offered a fair assessment. “I don’t think he’s giving you the cold shoulder. He’s just in a bad mood p>
“You know the history between him and Beatrix. It’s understandable he’d be upset that she got hurt p>
Simply put, Keaton was unhappy tonight because of Beatrix, not because of Winona.
For some reason, Winona felt a pang of discomfort. She furrowed her brow and mumbled, “I just don’t get what the deal is between him and Beatrix p>
Elysia was curious about that too, but right now, she was more concerned about something else.
“Winona, be honest with me. In the last month, have you been with any other men besides Keaton p>
Winona paused, then shook her head. “No. Not just in the last month, for the last two years p>
Elysia fell silent.
Then the baby in her belly was one hundred percent Keaton’s.
Elysia was worried. Winona didn’t love Keaton, yet she was carrying his child p>
“What’s wrong, Elysia? Why are you suddenly asking me this p>
Elysia’s brow furrowed slightly. She got up, walked to the door, and peeked outside. Seeing no one, she returned to Winona’s side and gently took Winona’s hand, looking her dead in the eye with a physician’s intensity.
Winona looked at her, confused. p>
Looking straight at her, Elysia spoke slowly, “I managed to take a look at the labs they ran on you earlier. Winona, you’re pregnant p>
Winona thought she had misheard. “Huh p>
Elysia repeated, “Winona, you’re pregnant p>
Winona’s eyes shot wide open. p>
She looked at Elysia, then down at her own stomach, then back up at Elysia.
“I’m… pregnant p>
Elysia nodded very seriously. “About twenty days p>
Winona was in disbelief. “I’m pregnant with Keaton’s baby p>
“If you haven’t been with any other man,” Elysia said, “then it has to be Keaton’s p>
Winona was speechless p>
Elysia squeezed Winona’s hand, offering her strength and warmth She couldn’t decide the fate of this child mer could she offer advice on What to do. She could only state the facts.
“Right now, you and the baby are perfectly fine. If you want to have it, then we’ll take good care of you p>
“If… if you don’t want to have it, I
suggest you decide soon. The
further along you are the harder it
will be on your body p>

Winona’s breathing grew rapid and shallow. She gasped and asked again, “Elysia, am I really pregnant p>
“Yes p>
“I Winona touched her flat stomach in amazement. “There’s a little baby in here p>
“Yes p>
“I Winona still couldn’t believe it. “But I only spent one night with Keaton p>
“It’s not unheard of,” Elysia explained. “Tarquin and I conceived on our first time, too p>
Winona’s expression twisted. “But… we drank so much that night. Could it affect the baby’s health p>
Elysia answered practically, “So far,
everything seems fine, but we’ll need
to wait until you’re further along to
do a proper check up with an OB-GYN to be sure. Don’t worry about that for now. The real
question is… do you want to keep it p>
“I Winona hesitated.
Suddenly pregnant. It was something she had never imagined.
She never, ever thought that sleeping with Keaton just once would lead to this.
