Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1464

Lorelei pushed the door open, wearing her pristine white coat. "Emmy, come with me for a blood draw."

Emmy paused for a second, not registering why a blood draw was suddenly necessary. Choosing not to ask in front of the others, she simply excused herself and followed Lorelei out the door.

The moment they entered Lorelei's office and the door clicked shut, Lorelei turned around. "Still no period?"

Emmy shook her head. "No. I am fourteen days late."

Lorelei walked over to the sterilization cabinet, efficiently assembling her blood-drawing tools as she spoke in an even tone. "We will do a blood test. If you are actually pregnant, this will confirm it instantly."

Taking a deep breath, Emmy slipped off her jacket. She slowly rolled up her left sleeve, revealing a pale, slender arm. Catching sight of Lorelei unwrapping the needle, she instinctively shrank back. Even after enduring endless storms and hardships, deep down, she still had an innate fear of needles and pain.

Lorelei noticed her anxiety immediately. Stepping over with a tourniquet, she wrapped it securely around Emmy's arm and casually posed a question to distract her. "If you really are pregnant, are you hoping for a boy or a girl this time?"

The question worked like a charm, drawing Emmy's attention away from the needle. She thought of Joey and Dolly, who were practically tearing the house apart with their daily antics. A hopeful smile crept onto her lips. "Ideally... another pair of boy-girl twins."

Abriella looked at her with mild concern. "Do you want one of us to stay with you?"

Emmy shook her head and declined. The truth was, she herself did not know if she was actually pregnant yet. If she was, the first trimester was always a delicate period, and she could not afford to tell anyone just yet. Reaching for a convenient excuse, she said, "No need. I have to visit someone in the adjacent room anyway, so you girls just head out first."

The moment she said that, Abriella and Krystina understood perfectly. The patient residing next door was the man Sylvia currently loathed the most. Realizing Emmy was going to see him, the three women tactfully refrained from probing further, grabbed their belongings, and left.

Emmy waited in the corridor for only a few minutes before Danny hurried over, panting as he carried a massive load of nutritional supplements. Emmy instructed Nina to take the bags and led her toward the adjacent room. Raising her hand, she knocked on Steve's door.
