Chapter 734: Chapter 731: Pregnant?

"What’s wrong?" The nurse’s gasp made Clara Grant anxious, and her voice tensed up.

The nurse tilted her head, continuing to take Clara’s pulse. After a moment, her eyes widened as she stared at her. "You’re not pregnant, are you?" she asked. "This feels like a pregnancy pulse."

Clara Grant froze. ’Pregnant?’ She instinctively glanced toward the door.

"Judging by your reaction, you didn’t know you were pregnant, did you? This is wonderful news. Your husband will be thrilled when he finds out. When you get home, you need to make sure you get enough rest, watch what you eat, and..."

Before the nurse could finish, Clara Grant snatched her wrist away. "You... you must be mistaken, right? How could I possibly be pregnant? You’re definitely wrong."

"How could I be? I..."

Clara Grant quickly held up a hand to cut her off. "I know you’re a novice, just starting to learn traditional medicine, and you need affirmation and encouragement at this stage, but I’m really not pregnant.

"My period is very regular—once a month, without fail. Everything is completely normal. Oh, right, I... I even had an ultrasound a couple of days ago. I’m definitely not pregnant."

She patted the nurse’s shoulder, as if comforting her. "You’re just starting out, so it’s perfectly normal to misread a pulse. Don’t lose heart, and don’t give up, okay? Keep at it. Thank you for treating my wound. Well, I’ll... be on my way."

With that, Clara Grant stood and walked to the door.

Behind her, the young nurse’s muttering voice drifted over. "Was I really wrong? But she had an ultrasound a few days ago and wasn’t pregnant. Then I guess I must have gotten it wrong... Ugh, I failed again..."

Clara Grant quickened her pace, opened the door, and stepped out, pulling it shut behind her. Only then did she stop and let out a slow breath.

When she looked up and saw Seth Quinn still on the phone nearby, Clara Grant froze again.

’Could I really be pregnant? It wasn’t impossible. Although Seth almost always wore a condom, there had been a few times when, in the heat of the moment, they had both forgotten.’

’But Seth didn’t like children, and she wasn’t ready to be a mother, either.’

’If she really were pregnant, it probably wouldn’t be easy for either of them to accept.’

The next moment, Clara Grant shook her head and smiled to herself. ’It’s not even confirmed. I’m getting way ahead of myself.’

’Still, she’d have to get an ultrasound to confirm it when she had a chance. If it turned out to be true, it wouldn’t be too late to decide what to do.’

With that thought, she started walking toward Seth Quinn.

"...Yes, regardless of whether Sierra Sutton survives, no death penalty. Sentence her to life imprisonment. She’ll spend the rest of her life in prison—unable to die if she wants to, unable to get out. I want her to live and watch as everything she cares about, everything she wants, is taken from her, piece by piece..."

Seth Quinn was speaking in a low, commanding tone to the person on the other end of the line. Clara Grant knew he was talking about Autumn Shelby.

She couldn’t help but frown, a pang of sadness striking her.

She had no desire to plead for Autumn Shelby. She wasn’t a saint who could forgive just anyone for anything. Besides, it was one thing for Autumn Shelby to want her dead, but she’d been holding the baby at the time. Even if Autumn Shelby couldn’t stand her own son, how could she bring herself to harm such a tiny child?!

She just felt sorry for the baby, and for Sierra Sutton.
