Chapter 511 Pregnancy Test

As a woman, the most dreadful thought, startling even herself, crossed her mind. Could it be...? Her face turned pale in an instant. Her heartbeat skyrocketed to its peak, and leaning on the table, her hand couldn't bear the strength anymore.

The feeling of her stomach churning was the biggest threat to her. She subconsciously slipped her hand to her lower abdomen, touched it lightly, and quickly removed it as if she had been electrocuted. Please don't let it be what she was thinking, please...

She didn't take a single bite of the meal. The untouched food was taken away, and instead of feeling hungry, she felt a sense of relief. Especially when the aroma of the food in the room dissipated, that feeling of suffocation, as if her throat was being constricted, finally eased a bit.

After entering the police station, Evelyn didn't contact her family anymore. Huston had sent someone to comfort Lucy and Ben. When Grace learned the news, she returned to the country. Although they hadn't seen each other, Evelyn was certain she hadn't left Jewel City.

This incident has caused a lot of commotion, and Grace must be extremely worried. Evelyn didn't contact her from the beginning to the end, afraid that she would worry too much and also afraid of implicating her.

And today, she was afraid that she would have to break this thought.

After thinking about it for a while, Evelyn couldn't feel relieved at all. She hesitated for nearly an hour before dialing the number. Perhaps because it was an unknown number displayed, Grace didn't answer quickly.

"Hello?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Evelyn's eyes immediately turned red and choked with sobs. "Grace, it's me."

Grace, who was sitting on the sofa, bounced up when she heard her voice. "Evelyn?"

Before Evelyn could answer, she hurriedly asked, "Is it Evelyn?"

"It's me." Evelyn walked to the farthest place from the door and said in a low voice, "Grace, I have an urgent matter, and I need your help. I'll get straight to the point because time is limited. I need a pregnancy test stick, the simple kind."

Grace was still immersed in the joy of her phone call. When she heard this, her whole body seemed to petrify. It took her a long time to find her voice. "Pregnant testing stick? What do you want this for? Don't tell me..."

She paused, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"I don't know." Evelyn's breathing was trembling. "I hope not."

"Don't worry for now. I'll bring it to you this afternoon. What if it's not what you think? Don't jump to conclusions." At this point, it was the best comfort she could offer.

Evelyn glanced in the direction of the door. "I'm using the police station's phone. I can't talk too much. Let's meet and talk in person."

"Okay."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Grace arrived at the police station with a pregnancy test paper. She couldn't bring electronic devices that could be discovered, so she had to bring this. When she went through the security check, she felt anxious, but fortunately, she passed without any issues.

Grace followed the police officer all the way to the interrogation room, twisting and turning until they reached the iron door. When she pushed the door open and saw the frail woman sitting inside, tears welled up in her eyes immediately.

Evelyn had become much thinner after not seeing each other for a while. She might have already looked emaciated if it weren't for her small frame. Her once fair skin had become translucent, revealing the red veins underneath. Her eyes were swollen, indicating that she had been crying for a long time.

Grace stood at the door, her feet feeling as heavy as lead, unable to take a single step forward. Just before the tears fell, she turned her back, not knowing why. Perhaps it was because she didn't want Evelyn to feel the same sadness.

Looking at her trembling shoulders, Evelyn stepped forward and hugged her from behind. She comforted her softly, "Grace, I'm fine."

However, she didn't expect that those words would make Grace cry even harder, her expression a mix of worry and anger. "Are you fine? Look at yourself, what have you done to yourself..."
