Kisa looked puzzled.'I really think that I don't feel sick other than my stomach hurting a little.'Why do I need to stay in bed?'She was extremely confused. But, she did not dare to get up. 'If I make him unhappy, he'd be mad at me again.'After lying down for a short while, Gilbert came in again.This time, he was holding a bowl of hot soup.He strode toward her. When he saw her using her phone in the bed, he could not help but frown. "Just close your eyes and rest when you're lying down. It'll not only hurt your eyes when you use your phone this way, and it also emits radiation."Gilbert took her phone away as he said that.Mia could not take it anymore. She got up and asked him, "Gilbert, what are you doing? You bought me clothes and shoes. Then, you asked me to stay in bed and rest. And, you don't even let me use my phone now. What the hell are you doing?"Gilbert pursed his lips tightly as he sat at the side of the bed. He then handed her a bowl of soup. "Drink it. It'
Gilbert nodded. "Just do a checkup with him. It's okay. It's for your own good."Kisa did as she was told, although she had doubts. Luckily, she had just changed into casual wear, and she just needed to lift her shirt up a little to reveal a tad of her tummy.Kelvin immediately saw a scar on her abdomen. He glanced at Gilbert and saw that he, too, was staring at Kisa's scar. He coughed to clear his throat as he fiddled with the instruments to examine Kisa. "This scar on your stomach wasn't treated properly at first, was it?""Well, at the time of losing the child, I felt so sad and ran around like crazy under a heavy downpour, so the wound festered," she said indifferently. Her tone did not have many undulations, as if she was talking about someone else's story.Gilbert subconsciously clenched his hands, as his heart ached.Kelvin pursed his lips and then said, "Don't think about the past anymore. I will find some ointment for you after this to get rid of this scar.""It's okay.
Kelvin sat lazily on the couch. "I came all the way here just to give your woman a checkup, yet you didn't even make me a cup of coffee."Gilbert heard this and said nothing. He went over to make him a cup of coffee.Kelvin smiled with satisfaction, as this was the first time Gilbert had made him coffee. He sipped his coffee slowly, deliberately keeping Gilbert in suspense.Gilbert looked at him for a long time. After not getting an answer for a long time, he ran out of patience and snatched the cup from Kelvin's hand. "Tell me what happened to the baby in her womb."Kelvin pouted. "How can you be so mean when you're begging me?""Don't test my patience." Gilbert was mad. He knew that Kelvin was being deliberate, knowing he was eager to know. If it was not because Kelvin was his buddy, he would have punched him in the face.Seeing that Gilbert was furious, Kelvin stopped messing with him and showed him the ultrasound report that he had just taken. Then, he took Kisa's blood sampl
Kelvin suddenly hummed in puzzlement while Gilbert was deep in thought.Gilbert frowned and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?""No, no, no." Kelvin shook his head quickly. "Nothing is wrong. It's just that the test results from her blood are all good, so there shouldn't be any signs of preterm miscarriage. Could it be because she knocked her abdomen into something?"Gilbert was none the wiser and asked, "What do you mean?""Oh, nothing. Just be more careful in the future and try not to bump her belly into anything. She is in the early stages of pregnancy, which is critical."Gilbert nodded.Seeing that Gilbert still looked worried, Kelvin said with amusement, "Come on, don't worry about it. Her health data is really good. This proves that there is nothing wrong with the baby. It should be that she accidentally bumped her belly into something, which caused a minor bleeding occurrence. There should be no problem."Gilbert was still not convinced, even though Kelvin
"Slow down. Don't be so reckless."His yell stumped her again. Kisa wondered why he thought she was doing something dangerous when she was just casually getting out of bed. She frowned and could not help but become suspicious. She went to his side, looked at his serious face, and cautiously asked, "Gilbert, do I have some kind of terminal illness?"Gilbert frowned and angrily said, "Can you say something nicer? Why do you always have to curse yourself?""It's not that I want to curse myself. But, your behavior in the past two days was too strange. When Kelvin examined me just now, it also felt strange. It felt like you two had something to hide from me," Kisa said, taking a deep breath. "Just tell me what kind of incurable illness I have. If it's not a very serious illness, why do you suddenly take such good care of me? Is it because I'm dying, so you are suddenly being so nice to me?"The more Kisa said, the angrier Gilbert became. But, he held back his anger, put the meal on the
He was just upset that she was taking revenge on him for Jensen that morning. To avenge Jensen, Kisa had shown him no mercy. She really wanted to kill him. So, he was holding a grudge about this.Before Kisa could say anything else, Gilbert had already stridden outside. So, she choked back her words and grimaced. 'Didn't he say he wouldn't complain? Now what? He is filled with resentment,' she said in her mind."Hmph, I thought you wouldn't come down for dinner," Madalyn snorted in resentment as soon as Gilbert came down the stairs. "Is that woman crippled or what? She needs you to bring the meal up to her? She is so pretentious.""Grandma, she is really not feeling well," Gilbert came over and said earnestly. "She has to take a good rest during this period. I hope you will stop targeting her."Madalyn got even angrier and forced her cutlery down on the table. "What do you mean? You want me to put up with her attitude? She is alive and kicking. What illness could she have? She is j
"My poor great-grandchild is dead, yet you want me to do something for their sake? Are you trying to make me sad on purpose?!"Madalyn said while sadly wiping her tears.Gilbert chuckled, "Who said it's dead?"Madalyn froze and looked at him in shock. "What do you mean? The baby...""The baby is still in her stomach. The miscarriage incident a few days ago was to tackle Sharon. Kisa didn't actually have a miscarriage."Gilbert did not tell Madalyn about Kisa's fake pregnancy to prevent her from hating Kisa even more.'Telling grandma that the baby's still there is enough. That way, grandma will stop putting Kisa in a tight spot. Besides, she'll be happy,' he thought.As expected, a smile instantly appeared on Madalyn's face. She grabbed Gilbert's hand excitedly and said, "Really? Is the baby really still alive?"Gilbert nodded with a smile. "But, you need to keep this a secret and not tell anyone, including Kisa.""Why? Doesn't she know that she's pregnant?" Madalyn asked perp
Kisa's mood, which just got relaxed, was tense once again. Her whole body also turned stiff.The man practically embraced her entire body in his arms. His warm hands covered her belly and gently caressed it.Kisa thought he wanted to do it again, so she could not help but remind him, "Gilbert, I... I'm on my period.""Mhm, I know."Gilbert answered indifferently. It made her sound as if she had imagined things.Kisa's face burned up slightly.She felt even warmer with the burning-hot chest pressed against her back.Kisa moved to the side again. However, the man pulled her back with his strong arms."If you scoot any further, you'll fall to the ground."Then, he moved backward while hugging her, ensuring that she had sufficient space on her side and would not fall off the bed."Go to sleep. Don't worry. I won't touch you," Gilbert said.Suddenly he released her and pulled a few inches away.Kisa was perplexed at his inconsistent attitude.At first, she really wanted to slee
