Chapter 97 Keep It Together, Amelia!

"My mother is the only one who lives here. She doesn't want to hire any servants because she's such a frugal woman," Jonny answered, his voice a bit sad as he felt sorry for his mother.

Hearing this, Amelia got even more confused. But she did not want to pry any further in regards to Jonny's family affairs. "Your mother seems nice," Amelia said, "She's gentle and approachable. Plus, she looks like she's able to keep the place nice and tidy even if she does the cleaning all by herself."

"Aren't you sweet... My mother would definitely give you a lot of New Year's money when she hears that," Jonny teased, a smile finally appearing on his face.

"Well, our relationship will come to an end someday anyway..." Although not a lot of people knew about her pregnancy, Amelia knew the news was going to come out sooner or later. She did not want to give Jonny any trouble nor did she want to continue living like this. Right now, it was important for her to find a job so that she could support herself and her unborn child.

When Jonny heard this, he abruptly slammed hard on the brakes, causing Amelia to lurch forward. Luckily, she had her seat belt on. If she didn't, she would have definitely gone through the windshield.

"Am I really not worthy of your trust, Amelia?" The smile on Jonny's face had disappeared. Angry veins surfaced on his hands as he tightly gripped on the steering wheel.

"Jonny, don't get me wrong. I just... I just want to live on my own. And you know why I divorced Lucian at that time, so I..." Amelia stammered before biting nervously on her lips. She felt that the more she explained, the more likely she would be misunderstood.

"I know you love Lucian. But everything can't go back, right?" Jonny said, gritting

"Now I really don't care about it at all but the Lin family is rich," Courtney shrugged, "We get top priority because of it. Let's just be thankful that we don't have to wait in line for a long time."

As it turned out, it seemed as if Courtney's parents had helped them.

"Courtney, have you told your parents about this?" Amelia was a little uneasy. As much as possible, she wanted a few people as possible to know about her pregnancy.

"Don't worry. My mom made an appointment for me. Besides, the doctor is not only for gynecology. So, don't worry."

"What if your mother asks about the result?" Amelia asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Just relax, Amelia! No one else will know that you're pregnant. I swear on my grave," Courtney swore, marking a cross on her chest with her finger.

"Shhh! Don't say that word out loud!" Amelia hushed, covering Courtney's mouth. With a sigh, Amelia stepped back and shook her head. "You know I trust you. I just don't want to tell anyone about it just yet. I don't think I can handle all the stress. It won't be good for... you know."

With a nod, Courtney patted Amelia's shoulder in understanding. "Don't be afraid, okay? I'm here with you. I'll help you. You don't have to do this alone."

"Okay. Thanks, Courtney." Taking a deep breath, Amelia went into one of the examination rooms.

The results came out quickly. A middle-aged woman doctor came to examine her. She took off her glasses, examined her carefully, and gently asked, "Excuse me ma'am, but are you married?"

"Why does it matter whether I'm married or not?" Amelia asked, frowning deeply. "Yeah," Courtney chimed in, "Nowadays, there are a lot of unmarried women who get pregnant!"
