The Law of Attraction

Chapter 719: Are You Sure

Gale and Luo had a very good heart-to-heart talk with each other as they cleaned the kitchen. Soon Noah and Craig also came down after finishing their business talks.

They all sat down in the living room and talked about Noah and Craig\'s past.

"It was his scheming mind that led a smart lawyer like Luo to fall into his trap. I remember how even the way Luo talked used to offend him." Craig reminisced and laughed at Noah.

Noah blushed when his embarrassing past was revealed by Craig so callously in front of the ladies. He glared at him fiercely as if wanted to take his revenge on Craig.

Noah smirked before he uttered, "At least my scheming ways got me a wife. Given the kind of life you were living, you would have died alone had I not decided to let you take care of Gale. You would be living a lonely life till date had it not been for my meddling."

Gale and Luo laughed out loud as they heard their husbands bicker. "Can you both act a little less childish and behave a little bit maturely?"

"Alright..!!" said both of them together. Craig looked at Gale and signalled her to bring out the desserts for everyone.

Gale went into the kitchen and brought out a lovely three-layered pudding that she had prepared earlier in the day and served it up for everyone. When she bent to get her own bowl, she suddenly felt dizzy and stumbled a little before she steadied herself and sat down beside Craig.

She looked at Craig a little listlessly and experienced a numbing feeling in her head. She couldn\'t even eat her dessert and felt as if the entire room was spinning. Craig looked at her listless face and narrowed his eyes.

"What happened Gale? Are you alright? Gale….. Gale…. Please answer me, Gale…!" Craig shouted at her, but Gale was unable to respond as her head started buzzing. Gradually Craig\'s voice seemed like it was coming from some place far away, and very soon she could not hear anything and blacked out.

Seeing Gale was not responding to him Craig started to panic. He held her hands in his and pried the dessert bowl away from her unmoving hands. He called her name again but saw her eyes were losing focus and then she fainted!

"Gale… Gale…. wake up….what\'s happening to you? Gale…!" Craig panicked seeing her faint so suddenly and couldn\'t understand what was happening to her. Luo and? Noah were also nervous when they saw her faint and stood up from their seats.

Craig lifted Gale in his arms and carried her to the couch in the living room. Luo immediately brought a glass of water and sprinkled some water on Gale\'s face trying to revive her.

Craig rubbed her palms and soles and started to feel nervous when she did not regain consciousness. He ran to get his car keys to take Gale to the hospital.

By the time he picked his keys and returned, Luo was patting Gale\'s face to wake her up. Gale opened her eyelids after a few minutes, blinked lazily, and tried to focus on all the worried faces hovering around her. Gale was feeling weak and didn\'t realize that she had fainted and put everyone around her in shock.

She saw Craig release a deep breath, when he saw her awake, and run towards her to embrace her tightly. "Oh God Gale! You scared the hell out of me! What happened to you, darling? This is definitely because you don\'t take proper care of yourself. What do I have to do to make you understand that you must take good care of your body!"

Craig kept reprimanding her. Gale smiled seeing his flustered manner, hugged him tightly, and patted his back. "I am fine dear. Don\'t worry about me so much!"

Luo squinted at Gale and said in a doubtful tone, "Are you sure you tested negative a few days ago?"

Gale felt embarrassed when Luo spoke so brazenly about her pregnancy test. Even Noah was there in the room…

Gale was helpless against Luo\'s shamelessness and all she could do was stare at her angrily for asking this question in front of everyone.

Luo pursed her lips and nudged Noah to leave. Noah saw that Gale was doing fine now, so he patted Craig on his shoulder and took leave from them. Noah and Luo said their goodbyes and walked towards the door.

"No need to come to see us off. We will find our own way out!" Noah said as he picked up his little boy who was sleeping on the couch in the room and headed outside with Luo.

"And don\'t forget to take her to the doctor before reporting to the office tomorrow, Craig!" he added

Luo chimed in and said, "Yes! You never know, we may get to hear some good news tomorrow when she is taken for thorough testing."

Gale and Craig couldn\'t help but smile and shake their heads at their words. Luo was always positive on things but deep inside Gale was hoping it was indeed good news instead of her being sick.

Craig heard the front door close and looked at Gale with worried eyes and asked, "How are you feeling now, darling? I shouldn\'t have allowed you to cook tonight and you must be tired after all the traveling. You must also be under strong emotional stress from coming here. It\'s all my fault. I shouldn\'t have let you become so tired!"

"It\'s nothing like that, hubby! It\'s not your fault. Maybe the emotional stress has been too much for me and I might have ignored any signs of fatigue. I will? listen to you in the future and be more careful of my health and body." Gale cupped his face in her hands and appeased Craig.

Craig\'s heart was still not at peace. He kissed Gale on the forehead and said in a solemn voice, "No matter what you say, I will take you to the doctor first thing tomorrow morning!"
