The Popular Darling Says She’s Pregnant with My Child
Transmigration Diary 43
Cefalina blinked—recognized the room—not the previous hospital—
Door—mother and Dr. Frank first—Su Yan and Charlotte behind—
Frank to the bed—gentle professional—“Miss Cefalina—how do you feel—any discomfort?”
Long silence—hand on her now-flat belly—
“Was I…… never pregnant at all?”
Frank glanced at the lady—nod—apologetic—
“Yes, miss. Stress and strong suggestion—pseudocyesis—uncommon but documented.”
“We withheld it—sudden shock might spike hormones—worse for body and mind—”
Pause—“This collapse—partly rapid hormone shift—fortunately your heat already eased you out of pseudocyesis—”
“Volatility was sharp—not lasting harm—how now?”
Hand tightened—shake head—“I’m fine.”
Eyes round the room—Su Yan worried—Charlotte awkward—mother stern—
Not the one she wanted—
But leg not healed—must worry too—
Blanket off—feet down—“Where’s Wen Shiyu—still at the other hospital?”
“Sit, Cefalina.” Voice heavy.
“You only had to deal with that child because you thought she got you pregnant. That’s cleared.”
“Yes…… my mistake.” Cheeks flared—
From the start—misread Wen Shiyu—
Hard to believe—Wen Shiyu did nothing—only helped her escape Alphas—held her in the stall—
She charged out—accused pregnancy—
Toes curl—
No wonder Wen Shiyu looked shocked—
Thought her a hit-and-run—
Then haughty “punishment”—servant—symbolic collar—parents’ loan as leverage—
Worse—island—cornered in the shower—hotel—bad leg—rut—follow like a dog—
Hotter—ears dripping—could not believe herself—
Wen Shiyu bore it all—never snapped—always gentle when she was lost and clinging—
Every detail—hurt—yielding—maybe love—flooded her—
Soft feeling broke free—hot spring in chest—almost painful—
Must see her now—
Mother cut in cold—
“Pseudocyesis cured—no reason to contact her.”
“What—” Fierce—“I must—I owe apology—”
“Nothing to apologize.” Strong face.
“I forbid you to see her.”
“Why—mistake is cleared—”
“Because it is.” Step closer—“You gave her chances and privilege she never earned.”
“Fails every family standard—yet deep contact—marking—rut together—”
“Proves opportunist—climbing Cavendish—can’t you see?”
“She’s not—” Angry firm—“She wanted to help—never asked—”
Mother disappointed—daughter naive—
“She’s blinded you!”
Turned to Su Yan and Charlotte—Charlotte especially—“You said Wen Shiyu forced you?”
Su Yan stepped up—honest—
“Mrs. Cavendish—Wen Shiyu isn’t like that—we only wanted Cefalina out of pseudocyesis faster—planned things to make her dislike Wen Shiyu—”
Look at Charlotte—“Say something—you know she never hurt anyone—”
Charlotte looked away—bit lip—could not lie bigger—
Muffled—“……Yes. Wen Shiyu did nothing. I made it up—to provoke Cefalina—”
Wanted Wen Shiyu—rejected—left angry—
Regret when she was deported—“Mrs. Cavendish…… can Wen Shiyu come back?”
Mrs. Cavendish shocked—two great-house girls—
Fox spirit—bewitched Cefalina—even Su Yan and Charlotte—
“Decision more correct—”
“Sending her away cools everyone—you’ll forget—done—”
“Sent away—” Disbelief—eyes on mother and friends—
“Deported? How—grades so good—leg hurt—still wanted class—”
Angrier—“I’m fetching her—”
“Nowhere!” Mother forward—“Home until you think clearly—”
……
Hours later—Wen Shiyu’s flight landed—
Too fast—leave of absence before boarding—family called—no real explanation—
Crutches—exit—nervous about “new” family—
A figure cannoned into her waist—
“Sister!” Bright surprise—
Steadied—Wen Shiyue—
Mother gentle—scolded sister—“Careful—almost knocked her down—”
About to speak—mother studied her—covered face—crying—
Startled—strange word slipped out—
“Mom—what’s wrong?”
Plain clothes—thin face—limping—
“My daughter—bare-faced—simple dress—so thin—lame—”
How much suffering—
“No—accident—” Smile—
Eyes on her neck—collar—
Forgotten—wore it daily—
Red—fumbled it off—fist—
“Friends…… all kind—” Voice weak—
More heartbreak—original would never say that—
Family exchanged looks—big wrong—personality changed—
Too painful to ask why Alpha now—
Secondary presentation needs long high-Omega contact—collar—dared not dig—
“Car—home—”
Father shoulder pat—“High Alpha—not bad—we’ll rebuild—heiress carries on—”
More guilt—not their blood—
Only tenderness—feast—hospital—leg fine—home—
Memory knew the villa—three floors—rich kid feeling—
Not Cavendish scale—
Family warm—sister clingy—
“Sis—” TV couch—bright eyes—“You’re so gentle now—you ignored me before—”
Heart jolt—“Prefer old me or now?”
“Now!” Then red rim—“Worried…… bullied?”
Speechless—school life not what they think—
Empty inside—want back—
Care all evening—finally her old room—
Luxury clutter—like dorm at school—
Untouched—
Collapsed on bed—ceiling—phone—
Warmth did not fill the hole—
Cavendish people made her delete Cefalina’s contacts—
New number abroad—truly cut off—
Su Yan and Charlotte reachable—
Su Yan—safe home?
Reply fine—hesitated—sent the thought all day—
【How is Cefalina?】
Later—
【Awake—pseudocyesis cleared—knows misunderstanding—Charlotte lied.】
Misunderstandings cleared—
Still hollow—must say face to face—
Finger hovered—deleted drafts—
【Glad she’s okay.】
Su Yan typing flickered—gone—
Phone down—when tuition again—
Leave approved—return for degree—see Cefalina then?
Su Yan sighed—looked up—
Cefalina still fighting mother—
“Give my phone—why lock me in—when did you become unreasonable—”
Unmoved—“No Wen Shiyu—”
“Apologize—thank her—”
“Apologize?” Cold laugh—“Marked by her—run to grovel—”
Not thinking that—face exploded—
“So what—I want to!” Chin up—
Mother laughed angry—“Hopeless—”
“Nowhere—reflect at home!”
Living room—Charlotte and Su Yan silent—
Charlotte whisper—“Sneak fetch Wen Shiyu?”
Su Yan whisper—“Dare cross Isabella?”
Charlotte shrank—
Only Cefalina could fight Cavendish—
Bring Cefalina—matchmake them—
Charlotte pout high—
