The next days were even more tormenting for Sophie Lopez. That day, she bought a pregnancy test stick and quietly did a test herself.

"You have to be pregnant, you have to ..." she murmured, closed her eyes, and her hand holding the stick was shaking.

One minute, two minutes, and she kept whispering. Five minutes later, she opened her eyes again, and when the two red lines on the stick came into her eyes, Sophie Lopez felt and surprised

Mother could have her surgery. There was no need to wait any longer.

Sophie Lopez stayed with her mother in the hospital until Lawyer Mr. Edwin called in the evening.

Sophie Lopez didn't answer the call at first as a little revenge. These days, she was being very scrupulous every day, for fear of offending "the financier". She texted Lawyer Mr. Edwin with her HCG test.

The next morning, Lawyer Mr. Edwin rushed to the hospital early.

"Mr. Edwin, this is my HCG test. Please help me arrange my mother's operation."

Although it was a bit inhumane to say that, she had already wasted too much time. She did all this in order to make her mother recover early. Her mother was her only blood, and she didn't want to lose her.

"Don't worry, Miss Lopez. I'll apply for the operation time." It was still a formulaic tone, but Sophie Lopez already got used to it.

Certainly, money talked in this world. Right after, the operation was arranged. The operation was performed smoothly, and her mother recovered and allowed to discharge from the hospital. Sophie Lopez was hoping to say thank you in person but the "financier didn't show up.

"Mom, take a rest here first. I'll go through the discharge formalities." Seeing William Edwin standing outside, Sophie Lopez asked her mother to sit down.

"Miss Lopez, your mother's discharge procedures have been completed. At the first semester, please pay more attention to your own body conditions. The Angel hospital is arranged for you by him."

Sophie Lopez didn't say anything. Since everything was arranged, she didn't have to worry any more. She was just feeling upset.

"Well, if it's all done here, I'm going home."

After leaving the hospital, Sophie Lopez's burden was released a lot. Her mother's repeated questions gave Sophie Lopez a headache.

She told her mother that the cost of the operation, and hospital fees were covered by charity donations. After the discharge, her mother urged Sophie Lopez to go back to school. Sophie Lopez wanted to put off school, but in two months, her pregnancy would show.

Thinking about it again and again, Sophie Lopez decided to leave. She could not let her mother know about this and she had to hide. She just didn't know how to tell the "financier" about her decision since the hospital was already arranged.

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Angel Hospital

After some routine examinations, the doctor also suggested Sophie Lopez to have a B-ultrasound, but he didn't say why. When she got the B-ultrasound report, she could see something unusual even if she didn't have much medical knowledge.

"Two embryos?" She whispered. The two embryos represented her twins.

She was stunned for a long while, and didn't even hear what the doctor said. She suddenly had a bold idea.

"Doctor, can you keep it a secret for me, I think ... I want to give my family a surprise." Sophie Lopez made a request.

She repeatedly pleaded with the doctor to keep it confidential and took back the B-ultrasound report.
