No Remarriage for Us: Stay Away

Chapter 466 She Defied The Odds

Unconsciously, Lenora's expression softened, a faint smile playing at the corners of her lips as her eyes

brightened with a flicker of joy. Her entire being was alight with happiness.

Taking the test strip, she returned to the doctor's office for a follow-up.

The doctor glanced at the test strip before looking up at her, smiling. "Congratulations."

"Thank you," Lenora said with a smile.

She could feel the transformation within her, from the anxious woman who had entered the consultation to a

happy, expecting mother. Even the slight pain in her abdomen seemed to fade, no longer as unbearable as

before.

"Go get a blood test and an ultrasound. After that, cback and I'll prescribe you smedication."

“All right."

"Wait, did you chere by yourself?"

"No."

The driver cwith her.

"It's best if you have someone with you," the doctor advised. "Take a seat and get plenty of rest for now."

"I understand. Thank you."

Lenora stepped out the door and made a call to her driver, instructing him to queue up for her. Meanwhile, she

took a seat at the side, waiting for her turn.

The driver, aware of Lenora and Zachary's situation, was pleased upon learning that Lenora was pregnant again.

Two hours later, Lenora returned to the consultation room wearing a complicated expression, holding the report

in her hand.

Lenora had initially believed she had conceived this child while in Fairlake. However, the test results indicated

she was already fourteen weeks pregnant-well over three months. This meant she must have been pregnant

before she left for Fairlake. Reflecting on the timeline, it seemed to trace back to that day when Jasmine had

drugged her.

She had lost all memory of what happened, yet later, Zachary had mentioned he hadn't been intimate with her.

Although the chances of pregnancy under such circumstances were slim, could she really be the one to defy

such odds?

Lenora had mixed feelings.

After reviewing the examination results, the doctor handed her prescriptions and advised, "It appears you've had

a fall recently, correct? The fetus is in a delicate state, so you must be extra cautious moving forward. Your

physical condition isn't typical, and there is a higher risk of miscarriage. It's essential to maintain a positive and

calm mindset during your pregnancy. Also, avoid intercourse and take extra care in the later stages."

"I'll be careful," Lenora murmured, her lips pressing into a firm line. Deep within her heart, she made a silent

vow-to protect this child at all costs, ensuring they would have the chance to experience the world for

themselves.

"All right, go get the medicine and cback to me. I'll tell you how to take it."

"Okay, thank you."

Lenora took the doctor's advice to heart. She handed her health insurance card to the driver, asking him to take

care of the payment and fetch the medicine. Meanwhile, she found herself a spot to sit down by the entrance of

the consultation room.

In addition to the progesterone and prenatal supplements, the doctor also prescribed an ointment for her

external injuries.

After leaving the hospital, Lenora glanced at the time-it was already five in the afternoon. She instructed the

driver to head straight to the kindergarten to pick up Harrietta.

As soon as Harrietta got in the car, she eagerly began recounting her day at school. Once she finished, the girl

blinked her big, round eyes at Lenora, her curiosity piqued. "Aunt Lenora, did something good happen to you

today?" she asked. Lenora was taken aback by her question. Smiling, she asked, "How did you know?"

"You look quite different today. You're glowing," Harrietta replied.

Lenora was taken aback by the girl's perceptiveness. A soft smile spread across her face as she gently ruffled

Harrietta's hair. "I'm pregnant.” "Pregnant?"

"Yes. | have a little baby in my tummy," said Lenora, taking Harrietta's small hand and placing it on her stomach.

Harrietta frowned. "Why can't | feel anything?"

"The baby's still tiny now. But they will slowly grow in the future," Lenora explained.

Harrietta nodded slowly, her gaze shifting to Lenora's belly, though she didn't speak any further. The car fell into

an unexpected silence.

"Hattie, what's wrong?" Lenora asked gently, noticing the girl's silence and sensing her unease.

Harrietta pursed her lips, her big round eyes now filled with a touch of concern as she looked up at Lenora. With

careful hesitation, she finally spoke. "Aunt Lenora, after the baby is born, will you and Uncle Zachary sendto

live with Grandma?" Although Grandma is kind to me, I like Uncle Zachary and Aunt Lenora more. | don't want to

part with them.

Not long ago, a student in Harrietta's class, Shane, dropped out. Harrietta heard from Brielle that Shane had

been adopted by his parents due to their infertility. However, after his adoptive mother recovered from her

infertility, she unexpectedly gave birth to her own child and decided to send Shane to live with his grandparents

in the countryside.

Lenora's heart melted after she heard Harrietta's question.

She recalled her childhood in the village, where gossip and rumors had labeled her as an illegitimate child.

During those times, fear

consumed her-the fear that her net

father might abandon her, that her grandparents might turn their backs on her, and even her dreams were often

haunted by these anxieties.

Because of this, she understood Harrietta's feelings all too well.

She's so lovely and intelligent. How could her parents bear to abandon her?

Lenora smiled warmly, gently reassuring Harrietta, "Don't worry. | never planned to send you away. Once the

baby is born, you'll be six, and you'll be able to play with them. I'm sure they'll love you as much as | do."

Her tone was soft and soothing, filled with a comforting, motherly warmth that drew Harrietta closer.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Harrietta's lips as she nestled into Lenora's embrace. "I'll definitely take

good care of them!"

Lenora chuckled softly, her eyes warm with affection. "You're still a child yourself. You don't need to worry about

taking care of them. Just play with them-that's all you need to do."

"Mm-hmm!" Harrietta nodded enthusiastically.

Once they reached home, Lenora and Harrietta got out of the car hand in hand.

"Welcback, Mrs. Fuller, Ms. Harrietta," Miranda greeted warmly, offering a smile before returning to her work

in the kitchen.

Lenora held the medication and medical report in her hands, torn between telling Zachary right away or

surprising him with the news.

"Is Mr. Fuller upstairs?" she asked.

"Mr. Fuller hasn't returned yet." Miranda's voice echoed from the kitchen.

"He's not back yet?" Lenora was taken aback.

"Yes. | thought you attended the wedding together? | assumed you'd return together," Miranda replied.

Lenora placed the items on the table and pulled out her phone. There were no missed calls.

After sthought, she dialed Zachary's number.

The phone rang for over twenty seconds, and just as it was about to go to voicemail, it was finally picked up.

"Hello? Nora?" Zachary's deep, husky voice cfrom the other end of the line.

"Zachary, where are you? Why haven't you returned yet?"

"I'm at the Fuller residence."

Lenora was relieved. Oh... then there's nothing to worry about.

"When are you coming back? Are you going to have dinner?" "No. You go ahead and eat with Hattie. Don't worry

about me." "Okay. Cback early."

"Mmm."

After ending the call, Lenora placed her phone on the table.

Zachary often had lunch at the Fuller residence, but dinner there was a rare occurrence.

However, this twas an exception. Tamara must be at the Fuller residence too, eager to spend twith her

son. It was a perfect opportunity for mother and son to connect.

While Lenora didn't particularly favor Tamara, she wouldn't stop Zachary from spending twith her.

To Lenora's surprise, around nine in

the evening, Sylvia, one of the

housekeepers at the Fuller

residence, called her. She explained

that Zachary had drunk a little too much at dinner and would be staying the night at the Fuller résidence instead

of coming home.

Lenora was taken aback, yet she didn't dwell on it.

Meanwhile, at the Fuller residence, Sylvia hung up the phone, casting a glance at Zachary who was sitting on the

single-seater couch. "I've relayed the message to Ms. Wilkin." Zachary remained still, his elbow resting on his

knee, his expression dark and brooding. He hung his head in frustration, a deep sense of dejection weighing

heavily on him. How am | supposed to face Nora?
