Chapter 226 - Accident

Katherine POV continues….

The lady doctor looked at me weirdly then glared at Martin who was standing far away from me.

" Can you tell me when was your last menstrual cycle? " she inquired. Then I remembered it was almost three weeks late. I didn't get time to think about my monthly cycle. I thought I was delayed due to my irregular habit of food for the past few days.

" Why are you asking this question? " I asked her. Without answering my question, she asked me another looking at Martin, " Is he your boyfriend? Or do you both have a physical relationship? " 

" Mrs. Smith….I brought her near as you are an old friend of our mother. We both are best friends. It would be better if talk politely with her, " Martin shouted.

" Martin...don't take me wrong, these days...it is common between a young boy and young girl. I used to see many such girls come to me. As you know, if you are transparent with the doctor then she could help you…" the doctor replied.

" What do you mean to say?" I asked her angrily as I understood what she meant to say.

" These symptoms are related to pregnancy as you were feeling dizzy and nauseated frequently along with delayed periods " she explained.

Then I remembered our intimacy without any protection. Then I asked, "Do you mean to say I am pregnant? ". She nodded her head hesitantly as Martin was looking at her angrily.

" How to confirm it? " I asked her. She gave me a pregnancy kit from the sliding drawer of her desk and asked to test it. I took the kit from her and stood up from the chair to go to the washroom. 

" No need to go…" Martin said and stopped me by holding my wrist. I took off my hand from his grip, " let me check because she is right. I too suspect that I am pregnant…"

Immediately he left me and replied, " Okay, I will wait outside for you. Call me if you need me ". Then he went outside to give some space.

As soon as he left the doctor's cabin, I went to the washroom to test my pregnancy. After I completed the self-test, I saw two pink lines on the kit. I read the instructions on the kit and confirm that I am becoming a mom. I was double happy on that day. 

Then I went to the doctor's cabin and showed the kit to her. She confirmed that I was pregnant. 

" Do you want to keep the baby? " She asked me.

" Of course...it is the symbol of our love. Why are you asking me such questions? " I inquired. " You are just twenty years old, so I thought…." I cut off her words and said, " I am hundred percent sure about my baby. I want my baby " in a serious tone.

" You are so bold, Miss, to decide to give birth to a child without wedlock…" the doctor said. 

I smiled at her and announced to her that I am going to marry the baby's father before giving birth. The doctor congratulated me and said, " If you have time to spare, I will let you hear the heartbeat of your baby as he is seven weeks.."

" Sure….doctor….can I record it as it is my first baby? " I asked excitedly. She smiled and gestured with thumbs up. Instantly I called Martin to come and record it as I had no mobile with me. I felt as if I took a new birth listening to his heartbeat.

" Take care of your health and take proper diet..." The doctor suggested.

After the check-up, I came out of the doctor's cabin along with Martin. While walking in the corridor, I was so happy whereas Martin was silent and was glaring from the corner of his eyes. 

" Princess...I want to talk with you…" he was the first one to break the silence. I looked at him and replied, " yeah… what! "

" Kathie… don't take my words in a wrong way" he started but he was silent again. I noticed that he was feeling uncomfortable talking about it.

" Tell me ... Martin. You are my best friend. I don't take your words in the wrong way…" I replied.

" Kathie….In the present situation, if everyone knows about your pregnancy then it would be more complicated. I think it's better if we hide about your pregnancy till your engagement with Grayson will be canceled" he advised.

" Not even to your father as he looked so upset…." He added.

" Upset? " I exclaimed and I doubted whether my father accepted our love only for my happiness.

" Do you doubt whether he truly accepted our relationship? " I questioned him.

" No, Princess. I didn't mean it. I heard the conversation while he was talking with Aunt Lisa. He was worried that the good terms between Borr's family would be affected if he canceled the engagement with Grayson. It also affects the business …" he explained to me.

" So …. You want me to hide till everything is normal? " I asked him.

" Yeah… Just a matter of a few days…" he convinced me. I agreed to it even though I don't like to hide it from my father.

…..

We reached our Mansion at night and saw my father was waiting for us. 

" Hi ..Princess, Lisa told me that you and Martin went to celebrate your happiness. Hope you had a great time…." My father asked.

I looked at Martin nervously and nodded my head. " Uncle Luther...we had so much fun …" Martin lied as he noticed my face.

" Okay. Have the food. I was waiting for you both. It had been many days, we ate together…" he said and then asked to join us.

We were shocked when he suddenly asked Aunt Lisa to eat with us because he always used to respect her but never asked to join us like a family. We stopped blinking our eyes in surprise.

" Don't be surprised….Princess …" my father said.

" Your boyfriend changed me so much in one week," he said with a huge smile on his lips.

" How? " Martin asked curiously.

" One day, we sat at the table to start our dinner. We heard whimpers from the outside. He quickly opened the door and saw an old woman nearly sixty years old who was sitting in the opposite flat. He quickly walked towards her and asked the reason. The old woman said that she was having Tuberculosis. That's why her son and her wife left her alone so that the disease would not spread to them and also locked the house. As she had no one to go to at that time, she was crying with hunger. He quickly asked her to come in and gave his food to her even though there was no food for him, " my father narrated.

" When I asked him, what if the disease spread to him as it is contagious. Then he replied, the contagious disease is not Tuberculosis but the diseases are pride, selfishness, ego, and jealousy in the heart of humans. Being a son of a Nurse, he could not mistreat that woman. Because it was the manners, her mom taught him since his childhood. " My father explained proudly.

" Wow...Uncle….after what you said, I am so curious to talk with him. I think we will become good friends…" Martin said, looking at me. I smiled at him and said, " of course…".

" But ….let me settle the issue with Borr's family in a calm way. I don't want anyone to know about Kathie's love for Adrian, " my father said in a serious tone.

The whole night, I didn't sleep peacefully because it was a sensitive issue. Still, I knew my father would handle it.

...

The next morning, after having breakfast, he informed me that he was going to Borr's Mansion to talk. I was so worried about what would happen there. I went to his room and noticed him, tying the tie.

" Dad, May I? " I asked and took his tie.

" Princess, don't worry. I will take care of everything. Whatever may be the situation, you are going to marry Adrian…" he said, caressing my hair.

" I love you …dad…" I hugged him. He smiled and asked, " don't you tell me, All the best? "

" All the best …" I said.

…..

When we were waiting for my father's arrival as it had been afternoon, we got a call from the hospital to the landline. Aunt Lisa attended the call.

Kathie....we need to go to hospital" Aunt Lisa said then informed, " Your father met with an accident. Let's go .." Aunt Lisa, Martin, and I immediately rushed to the hospital.

When we reached the hospital, I saw Borr's family was already in the hospital. Grayson was talking with the doctor. I quickly ran towards the doctor and asked about the condition of my father.
