Chapter 429
After the check–up, the OB–GYN hesitated for a moment before looking at Sherilyn with a face full of regret.
“Mrs. Johnson, I’m terribly sorry…”
Those words sent a chill down Sherilyn’s spine!
Not just her, but Gilbert, who was separated only by a curtain, felt the same way.
A thought crossed his mind–They had lost their child! They couldn’t save their baby!
Ignoring the hospital’s protocols, he lifted the curtain and rushed in.
“Mr. Johnson, you can’t be here!”
“Move!”
At such a moment, how could a nurse stop him? Not even the highest powers could!
“Sherilyn!”
Gilbert raced to the bedside and held Sherilyn in his arms. He looked up at the OB–GYN with heavy anger.
“How can you call yourself a doctor? How dare you say such things to a pregnant woman? If anything happens to my wife because of this shock, how will you make it right?”
While he spoke, he held Sherilyn closer.
Immediately, his tone softened. “It’s okay, it’s okay, we’re still young, we’ll have our chance again… we will.”
As he said this, his eyes uncontrollably reddened, covered with tears.
Sherilyn saw it clearly but couldn’t believe it.
Could it be that… he would also be upset about losing the child?
“Um…” Before she could think further, Sherilyn frowned and clutched her stomach; the pain in her lower abdomen was still severe.
This set Gilbert off, his anger uncontrollable. “What are you waiting for? Can’t you take care of this? You couldn’t save my child, and now you neglect my wife?”
The circle of doctors and nurses around them exchanged looks, not daring to make a sound, unanimously turning their attention to the OB–GYN.
The OB–GYN, caught between laughter and tears, braced himself and said, “Mr. Johnson, please, calm down–actually, your wife isn’t pregnant…”
“What are you waiting for then…”

Wait. Gilbert didn’t catch it at first and paused for a second before realizing what was said, blinking in astonishment at the doctor and then at Sherilyn.
Sherilyn’s reaction was even more intense than his, stretching her arms trying to get up, her voice raised, “Impossible!!”
How could that be possible? Her period was late, and she had taken tests!
“Sherilyn.” Gilbert quickly supported her, letting her lean on him.
Turning to the doctor, he asked, “Did you check thoroughly? My wife wouldn’t make this up.”
The doctor, sweating, remained calm.
After all, false pregnancies weren’t unheard of in clinical practice.
The doctor looked towards Sherilyn, “Mrs. Johnson, may I ask how you knew you were pregnant?”
Sherilyn explained the situation, her mood heavy, “Could it be the pregnancy test was inaccurate?”
“It’s possible.”
The doctor said, “Though it’s very rare, it’s not out of the question. However, it could also be that your body sent out false signals, like if you took fertility drugs…”
Sherilyn stopped listening.
She silently clenched the bedsheets, realizing she had indeed taken fertility drugs to get pregnant sooner!
Could it have caused a false pregnancy signal?
The doctor continued, “Actually, the most accurate method is a blood test. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, it’s better to come to the hospital for a blood test in the future…”
Sherilyn closed her eyes, feeling utterly drained, and leaned into Gilbert’s embrace, letting him hold her.
It was a huge misunderstanding, but Gilbert finally felt relieved.
Looking down at the person in his arms, “Does your shoulder still hurt? Should we have an orthopedic look at it?”
