Chapter 260: Chapter 260
Suddenly kissed, Austin White’s face turned even redder after he reacted, yet he did not shrink back. Instead, he reached out to hold Irene Rowe’s head, deepening the kiss with a blush.
The two are not strangers to kissing, but Austin’s kissing skills remain quite inexperienced. Whenever he awkwardly kisses Irene Rowe, it always makes her want to laugh.
This innocent big boy, how can he not make her fond?
Seraphina Sinclair lay on the big bed when her nose suddenly felt itchy, making her sneeze fiercely.
She mumbled, "Who is cursing me?" Get full chapters from novel·fiɾe·net
"Forget it, let’s sleep." Putting down her phone, Seraphina Sinclair yawned, her mouth slightly open.
She slept straight through to the next day’s noon.
Recently, Seraphina Sinclair has been particularly sleepy. She sat up, propped on her arms, drowsily looked at her phone.
Yawning, she walked out the door, Jude Sinclair was already having lunch.
"Mommy, you’re awake." Jude Sinclair put down his chopsticks, giving Seraphina Sinclair a sweet smile, "Grandma Winters made braised ribs today, they’re so delicious. Come and try them."
"Grandma Winters?" Seraphina Sinclair was puzzled, then Aunt Winters’ voice came from behind, "Miss Seraphina is up, come have lunch."
Seraphina Sinclair watched Aunt Winters walk out from behind holding a crockpot, unable to contain her curiosity, "Aunt Winters, you are..."
"Jude was craving braised ribs at the old residence yesterday, so when I passed by your place while grocery shopping today, I thought I’d stop by." Aunt Winters put down the pot, wiped her hands on her apron and quickly urged Seraphina to sit down, "I heard from Jude that you’ve been exhausted lately, I specially made chicken soup, please try it."
Seraphina Sinclair felt warmth in her heart, her cherry lips slightly pursed, showing a smile, "Thank you, Aunt Winters."
Aunt Winters served soup to Seraphina, laughing, "Why are you being polite, if it weren’t for you helping out openly and secretly, I wouldn’t be living so leisurely now."
"It’s the least I can do." Seraphina Sinclair did not dare to take credit, she just did what she could.
Sipping the freshly brewed chicken soup, Seraphina Sinclair’s eyes immediately lit up, she praised continually, "Aunt Winters, your cooking is getting so good, this chicken soup is rich but not too greasy, why is there a hint of fragrance?"
"Because Aunt Winters has a secret." Aunt Winters covered her mouth and laughed stealthily, naturally pleased by the compliments.
After lunch, Seraphina helped Aunt Winters tidy the kitchen. Looking at the innards left in the sink from preparing the old hen, she suddenly felt uneasy, her stomach churning and her throat welled up with a foreign sensation.
She frowned tightly, covering her mouth and rushed into the bathroom.
Aunt Winters saw something was wrong and hurriedly followed, witnessing Seraphina Sinclair bent over the toilet and vomiting.
The lunch she just ate was all gone.
Just as she was about to get up, seeing her vomit made the nausea stronger, she bent over again vomiting so violently she felt the sky spin.
"Miss Seraphina, what’s wrong? Did you eat something bad?" Watching her reaction, Aunt Winters was quite worried.
Seraphina Sinclair finally finished vomiting, quickly pressed the flush button, seeing the toilet clean as new made her stomach feel slightly better.
"It’s nothing, must’ve been too tired recently." Seraphina said weakly, as she stood up she felt dizzy, wavering nearly losing her balance.
Aunt Winters stepped in to support her, worried, "Miss, your condition doesn’t look good, I’ll call Master Camille to check on you."
"No need, Aunt Winters, just help me back to my room for a rest." Seraphina stopped Aunt Winters, she didn’t want Camille White worrying about her.
Lately, he has been researching treatment for depression, hasn’t appeared in her sight for a while. These days, it’s said he’s gone out for a breather during a bottleneck period.
She didn’t want to trouble him over a minor issue.
Seraphina Sinclair returned to her room, feeling much better after drinking a cup of hot tea, though her head was still a bit dizzy.
Even though Aunt Winters was uneasy leaving other maids to care, she made a call to the old residence informing Old Master White of the situation, then stayed to take care of Seraphina personally.
Unexpectedly, this care went on for two to three days.
Over these two to three days, Seraphina repeatedly experienced nausea.
Though due to her illness, she used to have vomiting symptoms occasionally, it typically took a long time to manifest once. This time for three continuous days, she vomited right after eating.
This was too strange.
Aunt Winters didn’t think along those lines initially, suddenly realizing she asked seriously, "Miss Seraphina, when was your last period?"
"Why ask suddenly?" Seraphina was momentarily confused.
"What do you think?" Aunt Winters was rather exasperated, "You’ve already given birth to Jude, don’t you understand?"
When Seraphina heard this, her heart skipped a beat, even her voice changed, "You mean I’m pregnant?"
"Your symptoms are no different from pregnancy. Sensitive to heavy meat smells, unable to look at nauseating things, after eating you vomit, these are clear pregnancy reactions." Aunt Winters, having been through it herself, might’ve initially thought Seraphina had really eaten something bad, but after three continuous days it was obviously being pregnant.
Seraphina Sinclair bit her red lips, tried recalling her last period, it seemed to be three months ago.
She couldn’t quite believe it, "Could I actually be pregnant?"
"In my view, most likely. But a proper hospital check-up will confirm." Aunt Winters chided giving Seraphina a glare, "Miss, truly you’ve given birth to Jude, such matters how could you still be unclear?"
Seraphina was overwhelmed, whispered, "When I had Jude it was accidental, I had no experience. Plus, Jude was very well-behaved in the belly, I had no pregnancy reactions, so..."
She didn’t know what a woman experiences during pregnancy.
"Such situations do exist, many have different first and second pregnancy reactions. Perhaps it suggests you might be having a little girl this time." Aunt Winters patted Seraphina’s belly, sighed, "Matters have reached this stage, might as well go to the hospital today for a check-up?"
Seraphina never thought she would suddenly be pregnant, thinking after breaking up with Desmond Fairchild there’d be no ties, yet this child came at such a time unexpectedly.
Indeed, a hospital check-up is necessary. What if it’s not pregnancy, but merely a stomach ailment?
Seraphina dared not think too deeply, nodded agreeing with Aunt Winters.
The two quickly went to the hospital for tests.
On receiving the report, Seraphina was utterly stunned.
While walking home, the doctor’s words echoed beside her ears, "Gestation period 84 days, the fetus is not large, slightly undernourished, the first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous, it’s advised the expecting mother avoids vigorous activity..."
