Chapter 22 Nora used to dream of building a life with Elliot , hoping they'd have a future together . But she was never his priority . Whenever something came up , she was always the first one he let go of . Later , when she finally gave up on Elliot and agreed to marry Lucas , it was partly to get back at Elliot and partly to put Walter at ease . She never expected much from her marriage to Lucas . She thought they'd just live quietly under the same roof , nothing more . However , Lucas filled her life with more love than she'd ever dared hope for . That tarot card really had come true for her . But what about Elliot's card - the one that said he'd lose the person he loved ? Judging by how he looked today , it seemed that prophecy was spot on , too . Still , Nora didn't believe Elliot had ever truly loved her . He had only gotten used to her always chasing after him , giving him all her love and care without ever asking for anything in return . Now that she was finally gone , he claimed he loved her . But who would believe that ? Nora didn't stay to the end of the wedding . Halfway through , she felt so nauseated she had to leave . early , pulling Lucas with her . At first , she just thought the crowded reception hall was stuffy and that some fresh air would help . But once they got outside , her nausea only got worse . She kept insisting she was fine , but Lucas was too worried to let it go , so he took her straight to the hospital . She was sent from the emergency department to the obstetrics and gynecology department . When the doctor asked about her last period , both Nora and Lucas suddenly realized she was two weeks late . " Have you ever been late this long before ? " The doctor's question pulled Nora from her daze , and she shook her head . Her cycle had never been perfectly regular , but it had never been this late . Just to be safe , they did some tests . When the results came back confirming she was four weeks pregnant , it didn't feel real at first . " Lucas , can you believe it ? I'm actually pregnant . " Lucas cupped her face and gave her a big kiss on the lips , grinning from ear to ear . " Honey , I'm going to be a father ! " His surprise kiss left Nora stunned , her face turning bright red as she quickly pushed him away . What are you doing ? We're still at the hospital ! " Luckily , they were in the obstetrics and gynecology wing . No one paid them any attention . the good news herself . The apartment was oddly quiet when she got in . Even her cheerful greeting was met with silence . Suddenly , a strange sense of dread crept up her spine . She rushed to the bedroom , only to find . Walter collapsed on the floor . No matter how hard she shook him , he didn't respond . With trembling hands , she dialed 911 for an ambulance , then called Lucas . " Grandpa fainted … " Nora barely managed to get the words out through her tears . Lucas and his parents hurried over , arriving just in time to follow the ambulance to the hospital . While they waited outside the emergency room , Lucas held Nora as she cried in his arms . He gently comforted her , saying , " He's going to be okay . And remember , you're carrying a baby now . so try to stay calm . When he wakes up , he'll want to see you happy and healthy , too . " Nora knew she needed to keep it together for the baby , but the sight of Walter lying motionless on the floor haunted her . She just couldn't stop crying . Lucas ' parents felt guilty , too . Walter usually lived alone , but they took turns checking on him . Who would have thought that skipping their routine for just one day could lead to something like this ?
