Chapter 10 The Confinement
She let the paparazzi pushing and shoving her. Her suitcase had already fallen on the ground.
Regardless of the fact that Patricia was pregnant, the paparazzi kept rushing to her. Suddenly, a lean
and tall figure showed up. She pushed away those people around Patricia.
The smell of the person was familiar to Patricia. She raised her head. "Is that you, Karina?"
Karina nodded to Patricia and then held her in the arms. Then she picked up the suitcase and left.
The paparazzi chase them down to their car. They didn't give up until they saw the two get in. Karina
had cut her hair shorter, which looked even more spirited. Patricia breathed a sigh of relief.
"Karina, thank you."
Karina shook her head and replied, "Not at all. I think you're brave, and I wish I could be half as brave
as you."
Patricia tapped Karina on the arms and said, "You're the one who's as brave as a man!"
Karina rolled her eyes at Patricia and said, "I don't how you put it. I might be tall, but I'm not like a man!
Being tall is one of the reasons that I can protect you!"
Patricia smiled, nodding. "Yes, you're always valiant."
Karina shrugged and asked, "You got kicked out?"
"Yeah." Patricia nodded. Her eyes looked more desperate when she recalled how her family treated
her.
Karina sighed, "What's your plan?"
Patricia fondled her belly and replied with a gentle smile, "I'm going to have a baby."
Karina seemed to be shocked when she heard that. "What? You're pregnant?"
Patricia chuckled and put Karina's hand on her belly. "Yes, I want you to be the godmother."
Karina was so excited when she put her hands there. "I should help you settle down now! I can't let my
godson homeless with you!"
"How do you know it's a boy?" Patricia chuckled.
Karina was driving. "I don't care if it's a boy, a girl or something else. I love it anyway."
Patricia looked at Karina and said seriously, "You can be his Dad."
"Patricia! I told you not to treat me like a man! I'm starting to question my sexual orientation!"
Karina was grumbling, but with an overjoyed face.
She took a long, deep breath and said, "I have another apartment. It was a gift from my parents for my
last birthday. I don't live there. You can live there during your pregnancy. I'm waiting for my godson to
meet me."
It turned out Karina's apartment was surprisingly spacious and pretty. Patricia stood at the door in a
daze. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Are you sure you want to lend me this big fancy house?"
Karina rolled her eyes at Patricia and said, "It's not for you! It's for my godson!"
The news about Patricia sleeping with an old man went viral. Then people are discussing how her
fiancé broke their engagement, how she implicated her sister and got kicked out of the family.
Patricia's reputation was ruined, and she had become the biggest joke in the city.
Her belly was getting bigger day after day. Patricia cared about nothing. She talked to the baby, drew
pictures, and listened to music for prenatal education.
From time to time, Karina would drop by and send her food, baby clothes and toys. The days were
insipid, but Patricia felt peaceful.
A few months passed by, Patricia had to support herself to move forward because her belly was so big.
One night, she was lying on the sofa and painting a portrait of the baby. She really had high
expectation. Suddenly, she felt a contracting pain and her face paled.
She held the new phone Karina bought for her and called the only contact on it without hesitation. She
almost passed out when it was connected.
"Hello? Girlfriend! Do you miss me?" Karina was trying to be funny.
Patricia held the phone tightly and replied with an extremely weak voice, "Karina, I think it's the time..."
Karina was eating outside. She stood up off her seat upon hearing it and looked nervous. "Hello? Are
you alright? I'll be there right away!"
Karina was so anxious when she heard Patricia stopped talking on the other side of the phone.
She was about to leave, only to be grabbed on her wrist by the man behind her.
"Where are you going?" Karina looked at the hand grabbing her, feeling very warm.
"Dustin! Patricia is giving birth to a baby! I have to go there now!"
Dustin seemed to be very unhappy when he heard the name. "Why are you still in touch with her? Stay
away from her! She's a slut and will affect you!"
Lydia was sitting across the table. She squinted when she heard those words. She had been hunting
Patricia down for months and couldn't find her. It turned out Karina had hidden the pregnant woman.
It had been months, and it was the right time for Patricia to give birth now.
Her eyes were getting narrower. Nobody knows what she was thinking behind those beautiful eyes.
"Dustin! Patricia is not who you think she is! She needs me now! I have to go now!"
Karina looked serious. Then she pulled hard to get her wrist out of Dustin's firm grab.
Dustin looked at Karina with a displeased expression. "I don't like you when you're disobedient, you
know that?"
Karina gritted her teeth, and bent to Dustin, "I'm sorry, but I have to go now."
Lydia narrowed her eyes and smiled at Dustin. Then she said, "It's OK, just let her go."
Karina was surprised that Lydia was speaking for her. Since Lydia had said that, Dustin made a
concession and said, "You should stay away from her next time."
Seeing Karina leaving, Lydia added, "Karina, can you give me a call after you send her to the hospital?
My parents did kick her out, but we're still worried about her."
Seeing how concerned Lydia was, Karina nodded and said, "Okay."
After Karina left, Lydia overlapped her hands and rested her chin on it, as if she was considering
something.
"Patricia, I've got you again. Should I keep you and Archibald's baby?"
