Chapter 1236 - 1232: Infertility?

Having her period meant she hadn’t conceived yet, but she’d been intimate with Luke Land so many times recently, without any precautions—why couldn’t she get pregnant?

There was a vague sense of worry in her heart.

...

She thought about it but still decided to keep it from Luke and went to the hospital.

She sat nervously in the waiting room, anticipating the results.

But when she finally held the final test results in her hands, she felt as though she’d been struck by a bolt out of the blue.

Infertility.

How could it be?

Her fingers gripped the corner of the white report tightly, unable to believe it was true.

Hadn’t she... been pregnant once?

She didn’t know if her accidental miscarriage had led to complications. She sat in the car with her eyes closed, completely distraught.

What would Luke think if he found out? He had always wanted to have a child with her...

"Where have you been all day?" As soon as Eva Miller came home, Luke Land rushed over, somewhat anxious.

Eva raised her eyes, with traces of tears still lingering, which startled Luke.

"Who bullied you?" He reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, frowning slightly, with a trace of concern in his eyes.

Thinking about the test report made Eva’s heart ache even more. Suddenly, she tightly hugged the man in front of her, catching Luke a bit off guard. She wrapped her arms around his waist, while his hands awkwardly hovered in the air before gently settling on her back.

"What’s going on? Tell me..." His lips brushed against her ear as he softly asked.

She just shook her head, not saying a word.

"Little Chili, please don’t be like this. You’re really scaring me." Luke sighed deeply, "Your tears frighten me more than anything."

"Little..."

"Don’t speak, I just want to hold you." He heard her soft sobs in his arms, "It’s nothing serious, I just feel uncomfortable, my stomach hurts."

"..."

He said nothing, just bent down, lifted her in his arms, and carried her upstairs. He gently laid her on the bed and instructed the housekeeper to prepare some brown sugar water to bring up later.

"Does it really hurt?" His large hand lifted the hem of her shirt, warmly caressing her lower abdomen...

She turned her head away, tears pouring down uncontrollably.

Luke was truly at a loss; he didn’t know why Eva’s emotions were suddenly so uncontrollable. She appeared to be in genuine anguish...

"Luke..." Eva murmured his name quietly.

"Hmm?"

"It’s nothing..."

Ultimately, she couldn’t bring herself to speak; she didn’t know what Luke’s reaction would be if he learned she couldn’t have children, and she was frightened to find out.

She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.

Beside her, Luke reached out, pulled her into his arms, and let her rest her head on his chest.

"Little Chili, I won’t allow you to overthink things."

Ordinarily, Eva’s personality was quite carefree, but today she was so different. Luke guessed she was very likely troubled, yet she wouldn’t tell him.

He didn’t want to pressure her to speak.

But he really didn’t want to see her bear the pain alone.
