Chapter 214 Was Cherise Pregnant?
Besides, it was just her period, nothing major. But why did it hurt so much this time? She felt a cold sweat break out, and the pain gradually drained her strength.
Damien held her hand. “Listen to me. Don’t push yourself.”
“It’s not much farther,” she said, determination in her voice despite her eyes moistened with
sweat.
Finally, at the very last second, Cherise collapsed at the finishing line before reaching the physical a*sessment standard time.
There were small, scattered red spots on her bottoms. Damien’s eyes darkened, and he quickly lifted her. “Where’s the school clinic?”
Lucy rushed over, a*sessed the situation, and tremblingly dialed 120 on her phone. “The school clinic won’t cut it! What if it’s not her period but a miscarriage?”
The word ‘miscarriage’ hit like a thunderclap, momentarily freezing Damien.
Lucy explained, “Cherry mentioned earlier that her period was late. I suggested she buy a pregnancy test, but she didn’t take it seriously, saying it might not be accurate. Given the situation. now, if it’s indeed a miscarriage…”
Before Cherise could finish her sentence, Damien had already swept her into his arms and bolted out of the gym.
Curious female students soon congregated. “Cherise had a miscarriage? Does she even have a boyfriend? And she had a miscarriage?”
“A top student with an impeccable reputation, getting pregnant before marriage and suffering a miscarriage? This is major news!”
Lucy had no time for idle chatter with these girls. She set down her belongings and swiftly trailed after Damien.
Damien’s embrace was warm and rea*suring.
Despite her weakness, with her eyes closed, Cherise could feel the frequency of his heartbeat in his ch*st while he ran. There was the sound of the wind and his slightly heavier breathing in her
cars.
Even with her eyes closed, she sensed his swift pace. She creased her brow and softly said, “Slow
down.”
“Your legs may not handle this.”
Damien probably didn’t expect her to be awake. “It’s my fault. I should’ve known better, and I

never considered you might be pregnant…”
Had he thought of it or suspected it, he would have never allowed her to partake in physical. education cla*s. He would’ve canceled the cla*s, ensured she didn’t go out alone the previous day, and evented her from going through emotional turmoil.
Cherise shook her head. “Relax; it’s probably just a delayed period. It’s not that easy to get
pregnant…”
“Please don’t talk right now!”
He took a deep breath. “We’re almost there; hold on a little longer.”
Soon, Cherise felt a shift in her surroundings.
“Doctor!”
His voice took an unanticipated urgency, unlike his usual distant and icy demeanor. Ordinarily, he spoke with a remote, aloof tone. Still, at this moment, his appeals to the doctor were laden with the desperation of a family member trying to save a loved one.
“Damien.”
Before the doctor arrived, she tightly grasped his arm. “If I mean so much to you… why couldn’t
you trust me?”
Damien, soaked in sweat and gasping for breath, was taken aback by her words. Before he could respond, the doctor rolled a gurney over to them.
He gently placed her on the bed. “She suddenly experienced severe abdominal pain while running.”
The doctor wheeled Cherise into the emergency room.
