Chapter 93 Someone Who Was Determined to Leave
Lola couldn't understand what the two pictures on the top half of the report meant, but she could definitely understand the words below: Ultrasound report: single live intrauterine pregnancy of about 12 weeks 0 days AOG.
The same result as what the test strip indicated that morning.
Three months... She had been pregnant for three months.
That result was not unbelievable to Lola actually, cause Harry never used condom or allowed her to take contraceptive pills. He wanted her to bear him ten children...
"But what am I supposed to do with this baby?" she was lost in thought.
After checking Lola's report which showed that she and her baby were perfectly healthy, the doctor advised her to eat more nutritious food. Besides, since Lola had an abortion once, the doctor instructed her to take more rests and not to strain herself.
Lola sat on her bed and looked down at the report. She was going to be a mother again.
She wondered if she should tell Harry about the baby.
After a deep consideration, she decided to raise the baby on her own without letting him know. After all, they had divorced. The baby had nothing to do with him.
She had lost one baby before, so she told herself to be more careful this time.
Then she picked her mobile phone up and called her manager. Leaning that Lola want to resign, the manager was astonished. Although Lola was a super star before, she was nice and worked hard. It would be a great pity for her to lose Lola.
Lola just explained that she had some personal stuff to deal with. The manager tried to persuade her. But Lola seemed to be determined. The manager said no more but asked Lola to go there to get her salary.
Harry came to Lola's home someday later. He knocked and knocked but nobody answered.
Afterwards, he encountered Zoe, who came to Lola's home to collecting things, and forced him to tell him where Lola was. Zoe told him Lola had moved away. But he didn't know where Lola was, either.
It was the first time Harry had experienced that anguished feeling when his beloved was missing suddenly. He was deadly depressed.
He realized that someone who professed to leave wouldn't go far actually. But someone who was determined to leave would leave quietly without exchanging goodbyes. Lola was the latter.
Half a month later, Harry and Yolanda got engaged. Their engagement party was luxurious with many big shots attending. Coupled with Harry and Yolanda's social status, their engagement caused a worldwide sensation.
In an apartment with two bedrooms and one living room in an old alley on the outskirts of D City.
The apartment was not new but tidy enough. Lola was sitting on the sofa and staring at the man in TV with tears streaming down her face. She moved her hand onto her burgeoning baby bump, "Baby, you see? You father is getting engaged with the woman who had killed your sister or brother. From now on, only we two can keep each other company!"
Lola wiped tears off and looked up at the blue sky through window. After calming herself down, she walked to the yard, turned on the tap, collected a half barrel of water, and slowly carried it towards the kitchen.
The tap in the kitchen was broken days ago, so she could only get the water in the yard before the tap was repaired.
The door was opened suddenly at that time. It was Jordan and Joseph coming in. They looked around the shabby yard and frowned. Then they caught sight of Lola who was tottering to the kitchen with a water barrel laboriously. "Lola!" Joseph called Lola.
Joseph? Lola turned around with suprise and saw Joseph was standing at the door of the yard with a cold man in a military uniform.
Both of them were looking at Lola with a swollen belly with a mixed feeling. Joseph was on the verge of tears. They hadn't seen each other for a long time. Maybe it's because she didn't wear any make-up during pregnancy, she looked a little pale.
Lola was wearing a loose dark purple maternity dress and a pair of flat shoes.
She put the heavy water barrel down unhandily, "Joseph, how do you know I am here? and who is this gentleman?"
Joseph, whose eyes had already turned red, ran to Lola and hugged her tightly, "Sister!" Lola was his elder sister! The missing kid that his family had been looking for for more than twenty years.
He was in great surprise and astonishment when he saw the picture Jordan sent him. Although he had been feeling familiar with Lola and comfortable staying with her somehow, he couldn't believe Lola was indeed her elder sister at first!
Lola looked at Joseph with enormous confusion. "What is wrong with him?" Although she knew Joseph was excited to see her, she thought Joseph overacted.
"Lola!" Jordan called her when she was still wondering about Joseph's unusual behavior. Excitment revealed on Jordan's poker face. He was also touched to reunite with Lola.
The excited Jordan doubled Lola's confusion. "What happened? What the hell are wrong with both of them?" she thought. Joseph pulled Lola into the room. The small but clean apartment gave Jordan an unspoken mixed feeling.
Joseph walked Lola to the sofa and told her she was born into Li Family in A Country. Lola had a high fever at three months old and was sent to hospital. It was at that time that she was abducted. But Li Family never stopped looking for her.
Lola believed what Joseph just said. Because Carl told her the day he left that she was not his biological daughter. She was adopted...
Jordan was sitting on a small stool straightly. He further explained to her.
Their Family is a big family with a long history in A Country.
Their grandpa Landon Li, who was eighty-eight years old at that time, was the Vice President of A Country before his retirement. Their father Harold Li was a first lieutenant and their mother Angie Gong was a general.
Jordan, who was twenty-nine years old, was a colonel and Joseph was... Actually she knew Joseph.
Jordan recalled that he once held his chubby cute little sister in arms. Now seeing that his little sister was pregnant, he felt rather complicated.
It took Lola two hours to accept that breaking news. Jordan knew it was difficult for anybody to accept that at once, "Our grandpa and parents had knew that I found you. They all miss you very much and want to come and pick you up tomorrow. What do you think of it?"
Lola looked at Jordan in a loss. Her brain was in a mess. She didn't know what to say, so she just nodded subconsciously. Seeing her nodding, Jordan stood up immediately and walked out to the yard to make a phone call.
Joseph persuaded Lola to move out to Jordan's villa.
When they came out, the narrow valley was crowded with neighbors who gathered around Jordan's car. Those neighbors all wanted to have a look at that luxury car they could only saw on TV before.
Harry and Yolanda's engagement and her real family made Lola sleepless that night.
Before noon of the next day, Joseph came upstairs and told her their grandfather and parents were all here.
Lola followed Joseph downstairs. Their grandpa, the old man who was always serious before, excitedly stared at Lola walking down.
Their mother Angie, who was in a military uniform, held Harold's hand tightly. That usually serious iron lady became a sentimental loving mother at that moment. She couldn't help crying the moment she saw Lola.
Lola tugged at Joseph's clothes while standing in front of those three elders, "Hello. I am Lola!"
Angie step forwards and held Lola into her arms the next second. It was her daughter that she had been looking for in the past twenty plus years!
"Lola, my girl. I found you finally. Thank God!" Seeing endless tears streaming down Angie's face, Lola lifted hands and responded her...mother's hug gingerly.
She believed that woman was her biological mother, cause the excitement and happiness in that woman's eyes at that moment was so real. Lola was touched.
