âThe babyâs not kicking so much anymore. Theyâre behaving just the same as usual,â said Lina.
âHuh? Theyâre back to normal?â
âYeah, the little boy just put his hand on my belly, and Iâ¦â When Lina spoke, she looked toward where the little boy was standing but found that the little boy and the middle-aged man had disappeared.
Kyla said to Lina, âLetâs get in the car first. Weâll go to the hospital and have it checked anyway. After all, itâs unusual for the baby to kick intensely all of a sudden.â
Lina thought about it and agreed, so she got into the car. Grace then drove to the hospital Linaâs obstetric record was registered.
Lina was a VIP patient here. She did not need to wait in line after registering. A specialist instantly consulted her. The specialist took it seriously after learning that the baby had been kicking unusually.
They immediately heard the babyâs heartbeat and arranged for an ultrasound.
Grace and Kyla waited nervously outside.
Just then, Kylaâs expression suddenly changed. She instantly stood up, covered her mouth, and ran toward the hospitalâs washroom.
âBlaargh⦠Blaarghâ¦â She threw up at the sink for quite some time before she finally stopped.
Kyla gargled her mouth and looked at her pale face in the mirror. âWhatâs wrong with me? Iâve thrown up twice in a row today.â
When she came out of the washroom and returned to the ultrasound waiting area, she saw Grace looking at her anxiously.
âKyla, what was that just now? Are you okay?â asked Grace.
Kyla said, âItâs probably just my stomach. I just threw up and am feeling better now. Maybe it was something I ate thatâs upsetting my stomach. Iâll just take two pills for my stomach later.â
Grace hesitated a little before asking with hesitation, âKyla, did something⦠happen between you and Martin Weiss recently?â
When she went to the store to visit Kyla and Nelson, Mrs. Corbyn had mentioned Martin Weiss visiting Kyla.
Kylaâs expression instantly changed when she heard that. Then, the color in her face suddenly disappeared as if she had recalled something.
Grace could not help sighing to herself when she saw Kylaâs reaction. It seemed that something did happen between Kyla and Martin Weiss.
Besides, Kyla must have paled because she had also thought of that possibility.
âKyla, weâre in the hospital right now. Why donât you⦠take a blood test?â Grace said euphemistically.
âNo thanks.â Kyla shook her head in a fluster. She stumbled a little as if she could not stand on her feet.
âGrace, I suddenly feel a little sick. I⦠Iâm gonna go home first. Iâm sorry that you have to look after Lina alone. Let⦠Let me know if you need anything.â
Kyla said and almost fled the hospital in a panic.
Grace looked at Kylaâs back and understood what she was afraid 1.
Kyla had been trying to distance herself from Martin Weiss, but if Kyla were pregnant with Martin Weissâs child just as she expected, then⦠their relationship would probably have to be more chaotic!
Even though Grace wanted to help Kyla, she did not know what to do all of a sudden.
Just then, Lina walked out of the ultrasound room. When she did
