What does this mean?
Carolline could guess what had happened, but she hadn't expected it to happen at this time. She was somewhat surprised and unsure.
Tomorrow and the day after, she had two days off in a row. Emily Hill had planned for her to go home, but she wanted to adapt to living alone as soon as possible, so she refused Emily's offer.
Carolline went to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a box of preserved plums. She put two in her mouth, and then slowly lay down on the bed. There was still half a glass of milk left on the nightstand, but she was sure she couldn't drink it.
The next day, Carolline got up early.
She took a taxi to a private Gynecology Hospital and had a thorough check-up. It was confirmed that she was pregnant, and after a simple ultrasound, it was determined to be an intrauterine pregnancy.
In other words, she could keep this baby if she wanted to.
