Chapter 329: 328 Pregnant? Frightened Puppy Runs Away Overnight? (2 more updates)

Sussie Lopez left, and Hannah Johnson and Isaac Shea also prepared to say goodbye.

"Zoe, I prepared some oranges for you, I’ll go get them from the room." Zoe Payne turned and headed inside.

"I’ll get them myself." Hannah Johnson treated her like a sister and cared for her, considering her leg injury and not wanting her to run back and forth.

As soon as she entered the room, Old Lady said, clearing her throat, "Hannah, come with me to the tea room, there’s something I want to talk to you about."

Isaac Shea was sensible and did not follow along.

"Granny, it’s quite late, do you still want to have tea?" Hannah Johnson smiled as she helped her sit down, "What would you like to drink? I’ll make it for you."

"Ripened Pu-erh."

"Okay."

Hannah Johnson got the tea leaves and started boiling the water, looking at Old Lady, "Did you want to talk to me about something?"

"How is your relationship with Teacher Shea?"

"It’s quite good."

Isaac Shea, although younger than her, was regarded by everyone who saw them together as treating her like his daughter, caring and attentive, meticulously caring for her meals whenever he was not busy. Even Fanta benefitted from it, becoming plumper by the day.

"This isn’t really something I should be bringing up, but I still want to remind you."

The Hale Family women were just so many.

Lily Lott’s relationship with her was awkward, and Mindy Xander was not close with her, so it was only Old Lady who could speak heart-to-heart with her.

"Your expression is quite serious." Hannah Johnson smiled, "You are just like my own granny, just tell me straight."

"Then I won’t beat around the bush."

"Please say."

"You..." Old Lady coughed, "Have you recently felt nauseous or had the urge to vomit?"

"What?"

Hannah Johnson was stunned for a few seconds.

She was always perceptive; locking eyes with Old Lady, she seemed to suddenly understand something.

Inside the glass kettle, the water was nearing boiling point, bubbling furiously.

Just like her heart at that moment,

the warmth churning, her mind momentarily blank, she managed a forced smile: "Granny, what are you talking about? I haven’t vomited recently."

"You should get it checked."

"..."

"Granny has been through it all, and your condition does make me suspect."

"I see." Hannah Johnson squeezed a smile from the corner of her mouth.

"Scared?"

"It’s just a bit alarming." Hannah Johnson looked at Old Lady, "Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?"

"You do look a bit pregnant, and sometimes, people’s bodies change after pregnancy; for instance, someone who previously didn’t get carsick might start feeling unwell in cars."

Hannah Johnson was a bit stunned.

She had never been pregnant, so naturally, she hadn’t thought in that direction.

"Don’t be afraid." Old Lady stroked her hair, "Teacher Shea is a good kid. No matter what, discuss it together. If you really can’t decide and don’t want to tell the family, come to me. Granny will help you."

—

Isaac Shea was chatting with Simon Hale and noticed that Hannah Johnson looked unwell as if she had stayed indoors too long and was feeling breathless.

"Are you feeling unwell again?"

"A bit."

"Then let’s head home."

Hannah Johnson was clearly upset, and even when Zoe Payne said goodbye to her, she was still out of it, looking like she was lost in thought.

"What’s wrong with my cousin?" Zoe Payne frowned.

William Hale, "Ask Granny."

Zoe Payne did want to ask, but since the old couple of the Hale family were already engaged in a discussion about their nephew, it wasn’t opportune to interrupt with another question. However, Lily Lott whispered in her ear, "Hannah’s situation, she might be pregnant."

"Pregnant with what?" Zoe Payne blurted out in confusion.

Lily Lott just smiled, "What do you think?"

"..."

At that moment, Zoe Payne burst into laughter.

She used to teach at a dance institute and quite liked children.

Isaac Shea was extremely nervous at the time, as ever since Hannah Johnson met Old Lady Hale, she had been distracted until she felt carsick, causing him to pull over.

"I’ll step out of the car for a while." Hannah Johnson took a deep breath.

"I’ll join you."

"No need."

Hannah grabbed her bag and got out of the car, inhaling the cold air into her lungs, which calmed her quite a bit. She found a nearby pharmacy, bought two pregnancy tests, and hurried back into the car.

She had always been bold and had a lot of fun with Isaac Shea. It was mainly because Puppy was so energetic, and there were a few times they didn’t take precautions.

It was supposed to be her safe period.

It shouldn’t...

be such a coincidence, right?

As soon as she got into the car, Isaac Shea looked at her with concern, "Where did you go? You’ve been gone for a while. How do you feel?"

"Fine."

"What did Old Lady say to you at the Hale’s?"

"We just chatted briefly about family matters; she asked me to visit the Hale Family often."

Isaac Shea was also feeling anxious at this moment.

Old Lady must have talked about more than just that.

If it was as she said, there would have been no need to call her to the tea room for a private conversation.

Could it be that he had done something wrong tonight that displeased Old Lady? She wouldn’t be thinking of breaking up with him, would she? He thought frantically, planning to have a good talk with her when they got home, but Hannah rushed into the bathroom without even changing her shoes after grabbing her bag.

"Hannah," Isaac Shea followed her to the door.

"Don’t talk yet."

Hannah rummaged through her bag, took out the pregnancy test, and read the instructions.

Isaac Shea paced in the living room, while Fanta lay in its nest, watching its owner walk around the room anxiously.

About seven or eight minutes later, Hannah came out of the bathroom.

Her face showed no emotions as she sat on the sofa for a long time without speaking.

Isaac Shea didn’t say a word either. He only brought her slippers and knelt on one knee in front of her to help her change shoes.

"Do you want a foot bath?"

"Isaac Shea, I have something to tell you."

After they had become close, Hannah usually called him Isaac, rarely using his full name.

And her expression was exceptionally serious!

His sixth sense told him:

This was big news!

Could it be, she really wanted to break up with him?

That would not do, even if it meant clinging desperately, he would not leave.

"No foot bath, then I’ll get you a glass of water, the heating can make you thirsty." Isaac Shea got up to pour water, his emotions complex.

"Isaac Shea..."

"Yes?"

"I’m pregnant!"

The moment she spoke, "Crash—" a sound was heard as the mug fell to the floor, shattering, and Isaac Shea turned to look at her with a particularly complex expression.

Shock, surprise, almost smiling.

"Are you sure?" Isaac Shea stared at her intently.

"The pregnancy test is in the bathroom, you can check it yourself if you don’t believe me."

"Then..." usually composed, Isaac Shea suddenly became flustered, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Or should you wash up and sleep first, get some rest? Is there anything we need to be careful about?"

"I’m a bit tired; I want to sleep first."

"That’s fine, go ahead and sleep."

Hannah’s mind was in a whirl.

Especially after seeing the two lines on the pregnancy test, she was stunned.

She and Isaac Shea were still in the throes of a passionate relationship, originally planning to formally meet each other’s families over a meal before the New Year to inform them of their serious relationship, but now...

How had she gotten pregnant?!

She lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.

"Hannah?" Isaac Shea called her softly, but Hannah’s mind was a mess and she didn’t respond.

"Are you asleep?"

Still no response.

Then, Hannah heard the sound of very light rustling.

Followed by the sound of a door opening...

Had Isaac Shea left?!

Hannah suddenly opened her eyes, wondering if this guy had been scared off after hearing she was pregnant! Congratulations.
