Time flew by, and Zoey and Levi had stayed in the hotel for many days.
After more than ten days, Zoey suddenly said to him, “My period hasn’t…”
“Oh? Really?” Levi asked excitedly.
“I’ll go to the hospital to do a pregnancy test later. Sylas will join me, so you don’t have to come with me,” she said.
Actually, Zoey had already secretly taken a pregnancy test at home; she knew she was pregnant.
Nevertheless, she would be relieved only after she went through the proper pregnancy test in the hospital.
“Okay, I’ll wait for your good news then!”
Levi actually wished to go along with her. However, after giving it a thought, he felt that it was better to wait for her news because he was too nervous.
Zoey and Sylas soon arrived at the hospital for a pregnancy test in the afternoon.
“Why do I feel like someone is following us?”
Sylas instinctively felt something unusual in the air, but the woman didn’t manage to notice anything out of place when she turned around.
There was no one behind them, save for a few patients who wore face masks passing by.
“Sylas, you’re being oversensitive.”
Zoey headed into the ward for her test.
After a long time of waiting, the test result was out in the evening.
“Congratulations, Ms. Lopez! You’re indeed pregnant!” the doctor told her the result smilingly.
Tears of joy escaped Zoey’s eyes upon hearing his confirmation. We’re going to have a baby after going through ups and downs together for almost ten years.
After obtaining the test result, she rushed back to the company with Sylas excitedly.
Just as she was about to share the good news with Levi and Iris, her secretary came up to her and said nervously, “Ms. Lopez, this doesn’t look good. We’re in big trouble!”
“What’s going on?” Zoey asked, totally perplexed.
The secretary pushed a notebook in front of her.
Zoey read the content and was flabbergasted.
A headline on the screen read: Bombshell: President of Oriental Star Group Zoey Lopes is Pregnant! Who is the baby’s Father?
“What’s going on? How on earth did the media get the news and reveal it right after we obtained the pregnancy result?” Sylas was at a loss for words,
Zoey’s heart sank.
She instantly knew that someone wanted to target her.
It’s a set-up! Someone must have orchestrated it!
Zoey had recently become a popular figure, attracting a lot of public attention.
Thus, it was no surprise when the news of her pregnancy immediately became a hot topic as soon as it was released.
A minute after this newspaper revealed the news, hundreds of newspapers began reporting on it as well.
In no time, Zoey’s pregnancy became the hottest news in every newspaper.
Almost everyone in North Hampton, South Hampton, and different regions in the South was aware of the news.
Zoey’s popularity continued to increase as time went by.
Ten minutes after the news was released to the public, many newspapers began digging for news into another related aspect – the identity of the unborn baby’s father.
Zoey and Levi had divorced for a long time; they weren’t related in any way anymore.
There had been no single scandal about Zoey throughout the six years when Levi was in jail.
Levi has never touched Levi.
Zoey had been seen going in and out of a hotel lately. The woman had even bought medicine for herself from a nearby pharmacy.
After listing down many reasons, the reporters deduced that the baby was definitely not Levi’s.
On the other hand, Zoey was pregnant after she and Levi divorced.
Therefore, they could only come up with two conclusions.
First, it was a fact that Zoey was pregnant before marrying anyone. After all, even her pregnancy test result had been revealed.
Second, Zoey could probably have a long-term secret relationship, and it existed when she was still Levi’s wife.
The two conclusions spread like wildfire as soon as the reporters wrote about them, and the netizens’ comments were blowing up.
As such, Zoey seemed to be doomed. Everything was spiraling out of her control.
