The hospitals in small county towns aren't as busy as the big hospitals in Anchester.
Registering to see a doctor, getting lab orders, and paying took less than half an hour.
Next was to have the tests done and wait for the results.
Jane Quinlan sat quietly on the bench outside the lab.
As time ticked by, she finally held the results in her hand.
Going back to the doctor with the results, her face was a bundle of nerves as she looked at the doctor.
"Doctor, how is it? Am I pregnant?"
The doctor pursed her lips and smiled: "You're pregnant."
Jane left the hospital in a daze.
If her parents found out about the unplanned pregnancy, would she get beaten up?
No, she can't tell her parents.
She can't tell Kay Forrest either.
With his whimsical nature, if he found out about her pregnancy, he would probably rush back today.
Jane Quinlan took a breath; despite it being a happy occasion, she oddly couldn't share it with anyone.
