GoodReadSaturday.
Since she had already made plans with Kevin to take the day off, Dorothy could finally sleep in without any worries.
After slowly opening her eyes, she instinctively reached for her phone to check the time, then happily remembered she didn't have to work today. It was already 8 a.m. If she had to work, she would be extremely late.

"Why are you still home?" Everett should've been at the office by now.
"Sit down and have breakfast first." He handed her a cup of milk with a smirk. "You said you were going for a check-up today, and I'm not comfortable with you going alone.” "But..." "I know that you're afraid your mother will find out | went, so I'll just wait outside. Tell me when you're done.” Dorothy bit her lip, pulled out a chair, and sat down, looking at him seriously.
"Everett, I'm just going for a check-up. It's nothing serious. You can't neglect your work because of me." If the company suffered a loss, she'd be the one to blame.
"Don’t worry. Kevin can cover for me." "When | was working at the Prosperity Consortium, you might've been able to fool me by this, but now that I'm at the head office, do you think I don't know how much work you have?" Dorothy walked over to him and shook his arm playfully. "I promise, as soon as | get my results, I'll tell you, OK?" Since Everett still didn't agree, she had to pull out her trump card. "If you don’t go to work, then | won't go for the check-up. I'll go back to work with you." "Dorothy, I'm worried about your health." "I'm fine, really." Both of them fell silent. Everett looked at her small, beautiful face until he finally gave in.
"Alright, but you have to contact me as soon as you get your results.” Dorothy flashed him an OK sign.
In the end, Everett drove her to the hospital, watching her walk in before starting the car and leaving.
Following the agreed time, Dorothy came to the check-up department, picked up her test form, and then waited her turn.

"Please keep quiet in the examination room and make sure your phones are on silent.” Once other people lowered their heads to adjust their phones, Dorothy quickly sent a message to her mother, saying that she would visit her in about an hour. Then she muted her phone and put it in her bag.
"Dorothy, please proceed to examination room 3." After hearing her name called, she quickly headed in the direction of the examination room.
The doctor performing her examination was an experienced-looking one. After glancing at Dorothy's basic information, he asked gently, "Married?" "Yes." "And you're sure you're not pregnant, right?" Seeing Dorothy hesitate, he explained, "There are some tests for women that can't be done if you're pregnant.” "Oh, | should be fine, my husband and I... we've always been careful.” She was a bit embarrassed to talk about this topic.
Without looking up at her, the doctor handed Dorothy a pregnancy test and a blood test form. "Since you're not sure, let's start with this. We'll continue once we're sure you're not pregnant.” "Okay." Dorothy wanted to say she was in a hurry, but she ended up following the doctor's advice.
After paying for the blood test at the front desk, she took the pregnancy test to the bathroom, taking a deep breath as she did it.
For some reason, she felt strangely nervous.
