Chapter 1013:
Eileen headed directly into the ultrasound room. Jaliyah rushed home. During dinner, she proudly pulled out her ultrasound report.
âI have some exciting news. Iâm pregnant!â she said.
Kamila was momentarily taken aback. After examining the report closely, she smiled and said, âYouâre finally pregnant again!â
âThe doctor mentioned that thereâs a high chance Iâm carrying a boy. Iâll have a blood test in two days to confirm. The results are usually very accurate,â Jaliyah said to Kamila. Then, she looked at Keith with a mixture of shyness and pride. âArenât you happy?â
Keith had been eating quietly. He nodded with a smile and said, âOf course, Iâm happy. Whether itâs a boy or not isnât important. What matters is that this news willâ¦â
âBring more joy to the Aston family.â Jaliyahâs face fell at his response.
She wondered if Keithâs indifference to the gender of the baby was because his thoughts were consumed by his illegitimate daughter.
Kamila studied Keith briefly before setting the ultrasound report aside and continuing to eat.
âIâm full now,â Keith said, putting down his fork. Then, he turned and went upstairs.
Once Keith was gone, Jaliyah couldnât contain her emotions any longer. She turned to Kamila and asked, âMom, why do you both look unhappy?â
âWeâll have to wait until you really give birth to a boy to be happy. Donât you understand that?â It was clear Kamila was in a foul mood, largely due to Keithâs earlier behavior.
Jaliyah was clearly frustrated by her response.

Jaliyah, clearly agitated, tossed her fork aside and stood up to leave. âI just know that nothing good ever comes when I run into Eileen.â
Kamila stopped in her tracks and turned back to Jaliyah. âWhat did you just say?â
Jaliyah said unhappily, âI ran into Eileen at the hospital this afternoon. It was bad luckâshe really dampened my mood. And now, seeing you in this state when I come back, it has to be because of her!â
Kamilaâs eyes narrowed as she asked, âDid you see Eileen in the gynecology department? Did she go in for any prenatal checkups?â
After a brief pause, Jaliyah responded, âYes, she did go into the ultrasound room. What else would she be doing there if not for a prenatal checkup?â
Kamila quickly pieced it together and concluded that Eileen must be pregnant.
She turned and hurried upstairs.
After getting a comprehensive checkup, Eileen left the hospital holding a report diagnosing gastritis. Bryan was carrying some medicine. He gently held Eileenâs waist as he helped her into the car.
As soon as they got inside the car, Eileenâs phone rang. She answered it quickly and heard Dalores on the other end. âEileen, are you in the city? I really need your help now.
