After Ashleyched once, she acted a couple more times.
Emelle quickly embed a couple of test insulate Ashley away from the smell while moving the smoking pan–roasted fish further away.
Immediately, Monnasked, “Ashley, are you okay?
There was a pause as Ashley took a sip of her drink to suppress the queasy feeling in her chest, which was akin to motion sickness.
she shook her head and replied, “I’m Line”
Moria sniffed the fish and said, “It doesn’t smell that fishy Pam–roasted fish is delicious!”
Ashley pursed her lips and said, “Maybe it’s just indigestion from sitting too long, it came all of a sudden.”
Mona hommed in acknowledgment without divelling too much on it as she refilled Ashley’s glass
Meanwhile, Inele was looking at ashley’s belly with a small frown. However, she remained silent.
Although Ashley didn’t gag again, her appetite was poor
Mona, being somewhat oblivious, resumed their conversation from where they had left off. “So, Emelie, you’ll either be in Weston or living with William in that ridiculously expensive Eastbay region from now on, right? you’re not coming back to our little apartment anymore, are you?”
Emelie replied, “rech, I guess so.”
Monapouted in response. “Ugh, how frustrating. I’ve been living with you for a decade. It’ll be so weird to suddenly be apart,”
Emelie said with a small smile, “Perhaps you could find a new job in Weston, and we could be coommates there again.”
Mona took her suggestion into consideration.
After the meal, Emelie had to go to the hospital to see Greta, and Mona went with her.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Mona suddenly remembered that they should bring a gift for the patient, so she hated off to buy a fruit basket,
Emelie headed upstates alone.
When she entered the elevator, she sent a text message to Ashley, asking, “Was today the first time the smell of fish made you nauseated?”
“No I couldn’t even stomach the beef brisket ordered last night.” Ashley replied.
“Aside from your aversion to the smell of fish, have you noticed any other unusual symptoms? Like a sudden craving for sour food, feeling more fired than usual, or irregular periods?” Emelie asked again.
Emelie’s questions were rather forward, so Ashley knew what she was getting at. They were both adults, smart ones at that. Hence, she had her suspicions too.
Ashley was sitting in her law firmand decided to check her period cycle. Indeed, her period was a few days late
Her grip on her phone tightened.
Shefelt confused and instinctively denied it “But I always take my birth control plis.”
⠀⠀⠀ The last time she was with Elias was before the New Year in Weston.
After his unreasonable outburst over Beathan, they gave each other the spent treatment and hadn’t contacted each other throughout the holidays.
“If you suspect that you’re pregnant, you can buy a pregnancy kit to check,” Emelie said.
After a moment, Ashley replied, “Alright”
Emeliesent Ashley a hugging emoji before putting her phone away since the elevator arrived at her floor.
Just as she reached the door to the hospital room, she heard Greta wailing in sorrow inside.
Emelie sensed trouble and her heart lurched. She quickly entered the room.
Ellana stood by their mother’s bed expressionlessly while their mother covered her face, crying her heart out.
Emelie immediately turned to look at Eliana. “You told Mom?!
Elianatured her head away. “To begin with, we should’ve never kept this from her.”
She had told their mother about their father committing suicide
Emelie was instantly filled with anger. “What
She had already instructed Elians not to tell dret yet. She was already used to Ronan not coming to the hospital so she wouldn’t have even questioned tt.
Why did liana have to make such a decision on her own? Why did she have to tell her when Greta’s health was in a precarious state?
Emelie kept her anger in check and pushed Eliana aside. She pressed the nurse call button multiple times, asking for a doctor.
She then sat on the bed, wanting to comfort Greta. But she was at a loss for words.
Even though Greta and Ronan had always had their conflicts, they had been manied for 30 years and never separated. How could she accept the sudden news of her husband’s
death?
Just then, Mona entered the room with a fruit basket in her hands, a little shocked to see the scene before her
quickly, she rushed over to help. “Please don’t cry, Mrs. Hoven. You’re not well yet, and you need to take care of yourself.”
However, it was no use Gretawas illed with heart–wrenching get.
In the end, the doctor, fearing her extreme sorrow would harm her health, administered a sedative,
The doctor also advised them, “Try to keep any bod news from her for now. If you have to tell her, break it to her slowly. Her ability to cope with any drastic news is very poor ” “Mona, please look after my mom for a mopent,” Emelle said before grabbing Elana’s hand and dragging her to the stairwell
