Chapter 157

157 Because of Nausea

Lately, Kalea has been learning about pregnancy as her fetus continues to grow. However, the more she thought about her situation, the more depressed Kalea became. The nausea kept coming back, making it difficult for Kalea to maintain a good diet as directed by the doctor. Her body also became thinner than before.

This pregnancy was still unknown to anyone. Kalea tried to act fine on campus, not suspicious even in front of Zeline. And somehow she could not tell the blonde girl about this yet.

Kalea took a deep breath as she closed her eyes, enjoying the sound of the raindrops falling over the city. The room was cold and empty with no one there but her. She does not know how long she would always feel lonely, but at times like this Kalea just wanted to enjoy her solitude.

To hell with Arthur, the last time the man messaged Kalea was two days ago. Arthur said he would come home and see Kalea soon, but Arthur did not tell her exactly when that day would be.

Kalea could hear the sound of footsteps scraping against the cold floor as he got closer and started to open the door. Kalea stayed where she was, until she felt someone sitting on the bed.

“Lea, I’m home.”

Kalea slowly opened her eyes, her hazel eyes immediately met Arthur’s gray eyes. Yes, after a few days of being busy with his own world, the man finally came to see Kalea.

“Welcome,” Kalea said briefly as she smiled slightly, waking up and hugging Arthur.

She could not lie that she missed Arthur so much, even though Arthur probably did not feel the same way. The hug grew tighter, until Arthur returned it. Kalea opened her eyes, so sad. Kalea felt that Arthur’s touch was no longer what it used to be. It was like there was a boundary between them.

.....

A dilemma arose again in Kalea’s mind, on the other hand she was not ready to part with Arthur plus what reaction the man would show. However, if she continued to lie and then got caught, the problem would get worse and Arthur’s anger might become even greater. Kalea had no intention of aborting the pregnancy, as she did not want to make a second mistake after her pregnancy was unavoidable.

The hug was broken, Arthur smiled slightly at Kalea’s face which he had not seen for a long time. Kalea did the same. Before Arthur could speak, he was confused when Kalea’s expression changed as if she was holding something back and then closed her mouth and pushed Arthur’s body away from the girl.

“Hey, what’s wrong? Lea!” Arthur called out in surprise when Kalea got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Panicked, Arthur followed his sugar baby.

Arthur’s noggin rounded at the sight that was a little familiar to him. Kalea was trying to vomit in the sink even though nothing was coming out of it. Arthur had just intended to take a step closer to Kalea, but the girl forbade him.

“Don’t come any closer,” Kalea forbade as she wiped around her wet mouth with a tissue.

“Hey, am I that smelly that you’d throw up after hugging with me?” Arthur chided, slightly offended. He sniffed her body to see if there was any odor that made Kalea want to vomit.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Kalea did not respond, and when she felt okay, she took a few steps back from Arthur and covered her nose. “Can you come out? I want out too,” Kalea pleaded.

“Huh? Hey, are you still covering your nose? It’s been a long time since we met, do I deserve to be treated like this?” Arthur asked, who did not heed Kalea’s words and approached Kalea, causing the girl to panic.

“I-I told you not to come near me!” Kalea snapped as she picked up her toothbrush and intended to throw it at Arthur if he still approached her.

Arthur looked at Kalea in disbelief and said, “Didn’t you hug me first? Why are you acting like this?” he asked. However, Kalea still did not answer and made Arthur even more annoyed. “Lea, answer me.”

Kalea tried to run out of the bathroom past Arthur, and luckily Arthur did not hold her back. The man sighed heavily, catching up with Kalea who was busy getting something from the drawer.

“What are you looking for?” Arthur asked.

“A mask,” Kalea replied and after getting the item she put it on to cover her nose and mouth.

There was something different about Kalea. Arthur scanned the girl from the top of her head to her toes, it seemed that Kalea’s body was thinner than the last time he met his sugar baby.

“Are you sick?” Arthur asked.

Kalea shook her head.

“Have you not been eating much lately? Your body is getting thinner, Lea,” Arthur asked again, getting worried.

However, Kalea still shook her head. “I’m fine.”

“Don’t lie. Did something happen when I wasn’t here?”

“...nothing.”

Arthur snorted in annoyance, as Kalea continued to test his patience. “Why are you suddenly like this? Your demeanor has changed, Lea. You’re not happy to see me?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking that?” Kalea asked back making Arthur stunned. “Why should you insist on seeing me if you don’t really want to?”

“Huh? What do you mean, I never thought of it that way,” Arthur evaded. The black-haired man again took a step towards Kalea but Kalea immediately forbade him.

“I told you not to come near me!” Kalea shouted as she took a few steps back.

Arthur’s patience was completely exhausted, he had never been so upset with Kalea. His gaze sharpened, his jaw hardened and he snapped at Kalea, “How long are you going to act like this without telling me the reason?!”

No doubt Kalea’s body trembled, seeing Arthur this angry at her. Kalea bit her lower lip, then walked to the drawer she had locked. Taking something she kept there so that no one would find it. She could not stand it, not only was Arthur upset, Kalea was too.

Kalea threw the object at Arthur and he caught it.

Arthur frowned, just now he wanted to get angry at Kalea for rudely throwing things at him, but suddenly he fell silent after realizing what he was holding. Arthur’s eyes rounded perfectly, reading the single word written on the small object.

“Pregnancy test pack? What does this mean, Lea?”
