Chapter 151 - 151 Safe Haven
Kim Eunji's lab results came back normal and there was nothing wrong with her heart.
To make sure that his wife and child was okay, he called for a gynecologist immediately to conduct further tests before they left the hospital.
For the third time, it was indeed confirmed that she was pregnant based on the increase of the hCG levels on her blood.
When she also did the home pregnancy test, the test kit immediately showed two lines though the second line was a little faint but still it was positive.
The number of fetus was still unknown since they were advised to come back on the tenth to twelfth week of pregnancy.
Her blood test results came back normal which was a good sign that all of her hormones were in normal levels but there's no room for complacency because the first trimester was the most crucial stage of pregnancy.
After talking to the OB-GYNE, Nathan felt conflicted. He was happy to find out that he's going to be a father but at the same time he's worried for his wife.
Especially after seeing her passing out due to her intense headache and made her to be out for almost a day and a half.
Mike Roland told him over the phone that it may be the sign that the drug was weakening thus she would slowly regain her memories back. And who knows what would happen if she would regain those memories?
Now that she's pregnant, they could not let her undergo the same procedure again as it might cause harm to the baby.
He also suggested that she should be removed from anything that would stress her. If possible she should stay at home.
However, knowing her personality, the more that she stayed at home and doing nothing, the more that this would stress her.
So it was best to find the balance between everything. Controlling her daily activities would be advisable. Nathan and Mike could only hope that Kim Eunji would not ask them why she had to make adjustments when it's unnecessary.
Because of this, Mike Roland decided to go back and stay in Beijing to watch over her.
Nathan also called her Dietician and Nutritionist to prepare a healthier diet plan suitable for pregnant women.
Kim Eunji and Nathan agreed to hide this pregnancy and announce it to their families and friends when the time's right.
Call them greedy but they wanted to cherish this wonderful news to themselves before sharing their little angel to the world.
To make sure that no one would slip, they let everyone who knew about this to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
"Ready?" Nathan asked her as he fastened her seatbelt before he did his own.
They were now heading to the airport where their private jet was waiting.
Nathan decided to postpone their honeymoon plan and go back to China as soon as possible but Kim Eunji convinced him not to.
"Since we're already here, why should we not go as planned? We should enjoy these peaceful days while it still lasts." Kim Eunji meaningfully said.
She had no idea why she suddenly said that though. It's not that she's foreseeing that trouble would be knocking on their door sooner or later.
In the opposite side, she was hoping that days like this would last forever.
"Yeah." Kim Eunji smiled at him then closed her eyes.
Nathan kissed her lips and then planted a soft kiss on her forehead as he said, "If you feel any discomfort just tell me, okay?"
Kim Eunji only hummed in response.
The ride from the hospital was rather peaceful and no interruptions nor delays since Kim Eunji was sleeping the entire trip.
She somehow found out that sleeping would make her motion sickness bearable.
However, the forty-five minute plane ride was very stressful for Nathan as he watched his wife who looked so pale after vomiting three times.
It was already noon when the jet landed on the private airport where their ride going to the port was waiting.
To have a peace of mind and avoid unwanted attention, the entire entourage decided to disguise as ordinary foreign tourist and not some big shots.
They could keep their high profile but Nathan knew that they would not fully enjoy this trip if all eyes would be on them.
They decided to wear simple and unbranded clothing and changed their appearance a bit.
Nathan who was carrying the sleeping beauty in his arms was dressed in a simple polo shirt and with white undershirt with his black jeans and brown sneakers.
He wore back his thick-rimmed eye glasses and he changed his hairstyle back when he was still in college.
While Kim Eunji was wearing a knee-length floral dress and wore a short wig and her big, thick-rimmed eye glasses which covered almost all of her small face.
When they went out of the private jet, Nathan saw a silhouette of two familiar people standing beside the van which was parked not so far from them.
It was a hot sunny afternoon so Marco immediately opened an umbrella to protect his Master Boss and Lady Boss from the painful rays of the sun.
"Good afternoon Master Bai!" The man who looked like on his early fifties greeted as soon as they reached the van.
"Manong Popoy, how are you!" He greeted the old man back. He was the caretaker of his resort. And the lady beside him was his daughter, Mona.
Nathan wanted to give the old man a proper greeting by hugging him but couldn't since Kim Eunji was sleeping in his arms.
"Is this the Young Madame?" Manong Popoy asked.
"Yes!" He proudly answered.
"But as much as I want to catch up with the days that we missed on, I think we should go now so that we could have a proper rest." Nathan continued.
"Of course! No problem." Manong Popoy then turned around and went to open the van for everyone to get inside.
Since it was a fourteen-seated van, their group of eight together with their bags could easily fit in.
Marco entered first then Nathan with Kim Eunji in his arms, then Derek, Darren, the doctor, and two more guards, entered. Mona and Manong Popoy took the driver seat and passenger seat respectively.
Maybe because Kim Eunji was already exhausted and had no energy left because of vomiting, she was sleeping the entire car ride going to the port where their boat was waiting.
They had to do another fifteen-minute boat ride before they reached this small island that was known for its white sand and pristine waters.
He had fallen in love with the views and sceneries that the small island had to offer when he came there two years ago.
He had discovered that island by chance.
Though the island was already occupied by a small community of fishermen and farmers, there's nothing to fear as they were very friendly and welcoming to foreigners like him back when he was there.
When he parted with the island as he had to go back to his busy life, he knew deep in his heart that he would definitely go back there one day.
It seemed to be fated that he received a call from the island owner offering him to buy the entire island if he was willing. Nathan who saw this as an opportunity didn't hesitate to buy it even if it was a bit pricy.
He then developed a piece of land near the seashore into a private resort and called it his safe haven.
And he was sure that Kim Eunji who was a nature lover would like it there too. So instead of bringing her to those known honeymoon destinations in the world, he decided to bring her there.
Kim Eunji woke up when she felt that they had pulled over.
"Good morning sleepy head." Nathan greeted her the moment she opened her eyes.
"Are we there yet?" Kim Eunji asked in her hoarse voice.
"Not yet." Nathan answered as he placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
"Can you bare to ride a boat wifey?" Nathan continued to ask her.
Kim Eunji then looked outside and saw what he's talking about.
"Yeah...why not?" Then she smiled at him as she continued, "Hubby, I am stronger than you think. We are stronger than you think." Kim Eunji corrected herself as she continued, "So, there's nothing to worry about. Okay?"
As she recalled that she drunk a spiked drink and someone had attempted to kill her, her expression darkened.
"Wifey, are you okay?" Nathan gently tapped her shoulder when he saw that she was in a trance and her expression changes.
"Yeah...I am fine! Why are we still here? Let's go!" Kim Eunji then removed his arm around her waist and slid the door open.
When she did, the fresh smell of sea and nature combined invaded her senses.
A warm smile was then plastered in her face as she inhaled the clean and fresh and warm air that touched her skin.
Compared to Beijing's weather, this place was still hot and sunny which was a common characteristic of places situated in the tropical region of the world.
Good thing they were now wearing comfortable and loose outfits or they would surely suffer from heat strokes if they would wear those kind of outfits they had when they departed.
"Where exactly are we?" Kim Eunji asked the man who was walking beside her while his left hand was wrapped around her waist while his right hand holding an umbrella.
"Philippines." Nathan answered with his masculine voice.
Hearing his simple answer, Kim Eunji's mouth twitched.
Kim Eunji had been hearing about this country for quite a long time now but she didn't get the chance to pay a visit since her schedule didn't allow her to do so.
She had read some travel magazines featuring the most scenic spots of the country which had drawn many tourists both local and foreign every year.
"I know we are here in the Philippines as I saw their country flag while we're in the hospital, but which place?" She asked him.
"I think the province is called San Andres." Nathan answered her.
"Then, where are we heading?" She followed up.
"To our Safe Haven."
