Kenneth quickly closed the distance in just a few strides, crouching down beside Ophelia. He gently wrapped his arms around her shoulders and fixed her hair. When he saw that she was in discomfort, his brows furrowed with concern.
Lisa hurriedly brought over a glass of water, handing it to Ophella while muttering anxiously, “These are all Miss Spencer’s favorite dishes. What’s going on today?”
Ophelia dry–heaved for a moment, but nothing came up–still, the nausea remained.
“Call the doctor,” Kenneth ordered coldly. When he saw that her face was deathly pale, he felt like his heart was being crushed by an iron grip.
“Oh, right… Okay…” Lisa turned to leave but suddenly stopped at the doorway, glancing at the wastebasket. “Miss Spencer, when was the last time you had your period?“.
Ophelia took a sip of water. It had been a long time since her body had felt this off. When she heard Lisa’s question, something clicked in her mind.
Ophelia realized it had been almost two months since her last period. When she was younger, she had often missed her cycle due to cold exposure, so she never kept track of it closely. But then she couldn’t help but wonder what Lisa meant by that.
Noticing Ophelia’s expression, Lisa suddenly smiled knowingly, “Mr. Sinclair, Miss Spencer might be pregnant.”
Lisa grinned from ear to ear, thinking, ‘No wonder Miss Spencer’s usual favorite foods aren’t agreeing with her. Pregnant women are just like that, aren’t they?‘
Ophelia glanced down at her flat stomach, unsure of how to feel. She turned to look at Kenneth and saw that his sharp- featured face showed no clear emotion. But as she leaned against him, she could sense his body was tense.
“I’ll call the hospital.” He stood up straight, forgetting that Ophelia was still resting against him.
Kenneth’s sudden movement almost caused Ophelia to fall backward, but thankfully, Lisa caught her just in time.
Once the dishes were cleared away, Ophelia’s stomach felt a bit better, though there was a faint, dragging sensation in her lower abdomen.
Lisa made some more simple, light food and sent it up, and Ophelia finished it all in one sitting.
“That’s how it is with pregnancy–sometimes you’ll have an appetite, other times not so much. Pregnant women tend to have cravings. Just let me know if you want something specific.” Lisa’s tone was cheerful.
“Okay.” Ophelia occasionally looked down at her stomach, with emotions she had never experienced before. “Lisa, do you think… I can be a good mom?” As she asked, she thought of Heather and that cold, distant family.
Ophelia was an orphan, never having known the love of parents. If it weren’t for everything she had been through in her past life, she wouldn’t even know how to love Kenneth now.
Lisa looked at Ophelia with sympathy. “Of course! You and Mr. Sinclair are going to be great parents.”
“Yeah… But what was Kenneth like as a child, Lisa?” Ophelia asked
Lisa smiled fondly, “Oh, Mr. Sinclair was such a well–behaved child. Quiet and a little shy, but always so smart. Far more intelligent than Mr. Patrick, that’s for sure. Wait. Didn’t Mr. Sinclair say he was going to call the hospital? Why’s it taking so long?”
Ophelia smiled, thinking Kenneth was probably just too nervous. She said, “I’ll go check on him.”
