The CEO's Painted Skin

One Month & One Week Later.

~Infinity Jade Tower~

Dinner Time.

Caroline was vomiting in the kitchen sink after eating supper. She doesn't have an appetite in the last few days and her period was two weeks delayed already.

Clara and Anna looked at each other, they both bore children and when a woman was vomiting with a delayed period it can only mean one thing...

Clara swipes at her phone and called George. She instructed him to buy a pregnancy test kit in the nearest pharmacy.

Fifteen minutes later, Anna opened the door to get the pregnancy test kit from George.

Anna gave the kit to Clara.

Clara placed the kit into Caroline's hands whose face was already fighting back tears.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.readwn.comfor visiting.

Caroline accepted the pregnancy kits test with a trembling hand. She was afraid that she will get pregnant with her r-apist baby. She was brave before when Joseph was still alive because she was afraid of him and she just wants him to spare her life at the last minute and declared to him that in case she will get pregnant with his baby she won't abort it. But right now she was feeling horrified just thinking of getting pregnant with a dead man's baby.

Clara saw the emotions running on the younger woman's face. She rubs her back. "Do not be afraid child, no matter what happens, I will always be here to guide and support you. Go on now inside and take the pregnancy test. I will just wait here for the result..."

Caroline went inside the bathroom, she reads the instruction in the package twice and followed them. While urinating, she put some drops of her urine into the pregnancy kit, then she waited for a few minutes for the result.

A few minutes later, she got the result, there were two red lines on the pregnancy test kit!

Oh no! It's positive! She's pregnant with Joseph's baby! She vomited on the bowl right away. She flushed the bowl and washed her mouth with the water. She felt so heartbroken! Why is this happening?

She broke down sobbing hysterically, her loud crying can be heard outside the bathroom, Clara was knocking on the door worriedly.

"Caroline, open the door! Are you alright, child?" Clara shouted.

She opened the door, fat tears were running down her face.

Clara picked up the pregnancy test kit from the sink and see the result. It's positive! Caroline was pregnant with her son's offspring! She felt happy, even if Joseph was already out of this world, he left them with a baby, this is a miracle! As a grandmother she was excited to see her grandchild from Joseph, still, there's no guarantee if Caroline will keep the baby, the younger woman might decide to abort the baby and there's nothing she can do to prevent her from doing so.

"Child, let's go outside. You and I will have a heart to heart talk, okay? Please stop crying, we will find a way how to solve this problem," Clara said.

They went to the living room.

Clara wiped the tears from Caroline's face with her hands. "I'm sorry that it happens. I know how you feel, child. I know that you don't like having my late son's baby inside your womb because it's traumatic for you. But please hear me out, I just want to remind you that the baby is innocent. That fetus that was growing inside your womb right now has no idea what my son had done to you. That baby is completely innocent. I want you to consider that thoroughly before you make any decision. Please have mercy on my grandchild," she pleaded on behalf of the fetus.

Caroline was still sobbing, totally confused about what to do with the baby. Then she remembered that she promised Joseph that she will give birth to their baby, but part of her doesn't want to continue the pregnancy. She was torn between the decision of continuing the pregnancy or aborting the baby. What is the best decision for her? What is the best decision for the baby? But she knows that Joseph's family will want her to continue the pregnancy. Right now, she was confused as hell!

Clara sighed and texted Hector and John that Caroline was pregnant with Joseph's baby. Both men were in the office on the 13th floor. They replied that they have mixed reactions to the news, they don't know if they will be happy or be sad with the pregnancy news, they will be coming upstairs in a moment, they will have to discuss what is the right thing to do with Caroline.

Clara let the younger woman cry as long as she wants so that it can lessen the pain and confusion that she was suffering inside. The older woman was already thinking of how to convince Caroline to keep the baby.

"Caroline, did you already decided on what to do with your pregnancy?" Clara asked softly.

"I'm truly confused about what to do, Auntie," Caroline replied honestly.
