BXBX NOVEL Chapter 525 Unforgivable Betrayal?
Two days after the opening of Ritter Motor Company...
In the middle of the day, Lothur, Elke, and Viktoria were busy dealing with the academy\'s affairs, the factory, and the side businesses of Ritter Motor Company.
Their days were busier than ever, but they still found time to do their things, cultivate, eat, train, rest, etc.
But amid all this, Annaliese had been unable to keep up with these three for the past few days.
During this period, she had constantly been feeling a bit weak and not well enough to fulfill all her daily activities.
Because of this, today, she had not gone to the Morning Star Academy, having stayed at home.
She hadn\'t had a chance to talk to Lothur earlier today, but not only that, she had a doubt in her mind and decided not to say anything to him.
So instead of calling him to come and check on her situation, she had sent a servant to fetch Lothur\'s colleague, Doctor Snee\'s disciple, Sofie.
Just a few minutes after noon, that violet-haired woman arrived at the Frost estate.
"Annaliese, it\'s me, Sofie." This 1-star doctor, currently at level 9, arrived at the door of the Second Miss Frost\'s house and introduced herself after knocking there twice.
Upon hearing that, Annaliese, still lying on her bed, shouted. "Come in. The door is open."
Sofie did as she was allowed and was soon beside that beautiful brown-haired woman, who was a bit pale, with her eyes closed due to the headache she was feeling.
"Annaliese... What happened? You look terrible!" Sofie stooped down and immediately grabbed her medical equipment to examine this woman\'s body.
"I don\'t know. Lately, I\'ve felt a little sick, like I\'m infected with something.
I feel constantly nauseous, I have headaches, and my strength has recently weakened.
Sometimes I even feel pain when I\'m..." She was about to say something she shouldn\'t and stopped there because it wouldn\'t do for anyone but Elke and Rebecca to know what she was doing with her brother-in-law.
But Sofie was a talented doctor, so by associating Annaliese\'s lines and symptoms, she more or less understood what this Miss Frost wanted to tell her.
"Are you having sex with someone at the 1st stage?" Sofie asked without winding up, knowing that people of that stage could not copulate without a pregnancy risk.
That\'s right. She suspected Annaliese was pregnant!
Gulp!
That woman looked straight into Sofie\'s eyes and shivered. "You can\'t tell anyone about this!"
"Rest assured. As a doctor, I never give information that a patient passed on to me to others." This woman said sincerely, a little curious, of course, but wanting to know that to rule out the possibility of an illness.
Cultivators could get sick. It was something scarce but possible.
Also, because it was difficult for a cultivator\'s immune system not to solve problems on its own, it was extremely difficult to resolve diseases in this kind of people.
Therefore, Sofie naturally preferred that Annaliese was just pregnant.
Every pregnancy had risks, but over 95% of the cultivators\' women and babies survived birth in Concordia.
Naturally, it would be better to be pregnant than sick!
However, Annaliese was no ordinary person, and her giving away her virginity outside of marriage could become a big problem and embarrassment for the Frost family.
Annaliese took a deep breath and said. "Don\'t tell anyone, but yes, I had sex with someone at the first stage."
"Uh?"
"Recently, he advanced to 2nd stage." She turned her face sideways, embarrassed.
Sofie\'s eyebrows drew together. "That person wouldn\'t be... It wouldn\'t be Lothur, right?"
Annaliese was silent upon hearing this, as Sofie remembered that her medical colleague had been studying something called contraception pill, even when his wife could handle the risk of pregnancy on her own...
"Annaliese..."
"What? What difference does it make who it was?" She asked embarrassedly.
"But..." Sofie was shocked but realized that she couldn\'t get into a patient\'s personal affairs like that.
Annaliese was her friend, so she had questioned her a little more than she would with an ordinary patient. But still, she couldn\'t go too far into it and soon silenced herself.
"I\'m sorry for insisting, Annaliese... In any case, there is a great risk that you are pregnant.
He had been developing a contraceptive pill when he was studying medicine with me. Still, from what he told me, that would only serve to prevent conception after consuming that."
"I know..." Annaliese said, knowing this since he had explained it to her when he gave her some pills to take daily before her stage advancement.
Sofie continued. "But that wouldn\'t work if you were already pregnant. Your body would stop the pill he made and your energies from destroying the fertilized ovum..."
When a cultivator became pregnant, her body would change so that some abilities would be suppressed. For example, the ability to destroy gametes that any 2nd stage or stronger cultivator would have would simply stop working during pregnancy.
Because of this, cultivators could not prevent a pregnancy in progress by means of this ability.
There were other methods of doing this, but the cultivator herself could not use that method to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
Sofie then said. "Then I\'m afraid you are already a few weeks pregnant, Annaliese."
Gulp!
"And what do I do now?" She asked fearfully.
"Hmm, first, I will collect some of your blood and run some tests to confirm this. Anyway, I must not be wrong.
From the 6th week of cultivators\' pregnancy, it is expected that they feel their strength beginning to diminish.
That is a natural mark of ours, which serves to avoid exposing ourselves to danger.
As this is already happening to you, your pregnancy is well advanced. Thus, there is nothing more we can do to stop it..."
There were external methods of terminating a pregnancy in Concordia. But every doctor in this world vowed not to stop a cultivator pregnancy after the 6th week because, after that, that being would already be considered a potential cultivator, not just cells in the mother\'s body.
Since there were few cultivators in this world, practically every state abhorred non-spontaneous abortions of cultivators.
Sofie knew this and agreed not to prevent such an advanced gestation.
Annaliese clenched her fists, knowing this would be a big problem for her and Lothur.
"In any case, you should talk to him... And also with your sister as soon as possible. In a short time, your belly will grow, and people will notice.
That is, of course, if you are pregnant." Sofie said, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Hearing this, Annaliese brought both hands to her eyes, afraid of her sister\'s reaction when Viktoria found out about such a betrayal.
\'What do I do? My sister will want to kill me, and my mother will probably hate me...\' She thought amid her despair as Sofie examined her.
Amidst this, she couldn\'t help but hug her belly.
