Ysabel raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You've been off your food lately, haven't you?"
Brittany used to love seafood, but now she found it fishy?
Taking a sip of her juice, Brittany was at a loss herself. It felt as if the smell of meat was amplified a thousand times, making her
nauseous just by the scent, let alone eating it.
"Even this morning, | felt sick just smelling milk..."
Ysabel, who had been through it all, seemed to catch on to something, hinting, "When was your last period?"
"It's always been pretty irregular."
With her busy schedule and high stress levels, Brittany hadn't paid much attention to her irregular periods.
Ysabel scrutinized Brittany closely, "Maybe you should, you know, get a pregnancy test?"
She had been pregnant before, and Brittany's symptoms seemed all too familiar.
But then again, she found it hard to believe. Brittany and Eltham had just announced their engagement; it seemed too soon for a
pregnancy...
Brittany instinctively rejected the idea, but then she remembered that night in Imperial City. After a night of passion, she was

Could it be from that night?
Brittany clenched her juice glass, trying to suppress her anxiety, "It's probably nothing. I've been super busy lately, so it's not
unusual for my period to be irregular."
"And I've had stomach issues recently; even saw a doctor."
"It's unlikely I'm pregnant.”
Despite her words, Brittany lost her appetite, her mind racing with the details of the past few weeks, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Seeing her denial, Ysabel dropped her suspicions.
Brittany had been living like a nun lately; how could she possibly be pregnant?
"Alright then."
After talking with Ysabel, Brittany drove home, passing by a pharmacy on the way. On a whim, she stopped and bought a
pregnancy test kit.
Once home, she avoided Yuri and went straight to the bathroom.
Brittany sat waiting for the result.
That night, she and Hannah Chester got drunk together.
She was taken away... In a half-dream, half-awake state, it seemed like she spent the night with a man in a blur.
The alcohol fogged her memory; she couldn't even recall who she was with that night.
The waiting felt endless, and Brittany replayed the entire night in her head without any clue, unable to remember who the man
was!
Ding, ding, ding!
The timer went off.
Brittany picked up the test kit, and the two clear lines confirmed it: she was pregnant!
How was this possible?
Panicking, Brittany used all the tests she bought, and they all showed the sresult.
A stark realization hit her; she was indeed pregnant!
In an instant, Brittany felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor, clutching the pregnancy tests, unsure of what to do next.

She thought of Isaac; if the news of her pregnancy leaked, their relationship would be over!
Brittany wished she could scold herself for getting excessively drunk at the bar and making such a reckless mistake!
Tpassed in a daze until her phone rang. She struggled to answer.
"Bri, I've got to go on a business trip for a few days. Work hard, and callif you need anything, okay?"
Isaac's voice cthrough.
After hanging up, Brittany immediately called Hannah, "Hannah, | need to ask you something. That night in Imperial City when we
got drunk, who tookaway?"
Hannah hadpletely otten about that night.
"What's up?" Hannah asked, sensing urgency, "Is something wrong?"
"Just helpcheck, please."
She had been taken advantage of while drunk; it was only right to find out who was responsible.
Hannah agreed and immediately reviewed all the surveillance footage from that night. While she didn't find anyone suspicious, she
did spot Caspian in the bar's footage.
"Bri, | couldn't find who took you away, but Caspian was there on the cameras."
