Natalie frowned.
Hmm… So Jacqueline left with him?
Ha! He said there’s nothing between them, but it seems like they’re inseparable.
“Madam, is something wrong?” Seeing Natalie’s expression, Mrs. Wilson asked with concern.
Natalie shook her head. “No, everything is fine.”
She smiled and picked up her fork.
Then, she noticed the plate of roasted pork and suddenly felt nauseous.
Natalie put down her fork and bent over, throwing up as she covered her mouth.
Her face turned pale as she vomited.
Seeing that, Mrs. Wilson was shocked. “Madam, are you alright?”
“Mrs. Wilson, please take the roasted pork away. Just take all the meat dishes away.” Natalie waved her hand, speaking weakly.
“Okay.” Mrs. Wilson did as she was told and took all the meat dishes.
Instantly, the smell of meat was gone, and Natalie felt much better.
She took the cup of water Mrs. Wilson handed to her, and after a few sips, she recovered completely.
“Madam, are you alright now?” Mrs. Wilson took the cup of water and asked.
Natalie replied, “I’m fine now.”
“What happened to you just now? Are you sick?” Mrs. Wilson gazed at her.
Natalie caressed her tummy and smiled. “No.”
“In that case…” Mrs. Wilson looked at the way Natalie stroked her abdomen and understood immediately. She was so pleasantly surprised that she raised her voice. “Madam, are you pregnant?”
Natalie nodded. “Yes, about one and a half months now.”
“You’ve gone for a check-up already?” Mrs. Wilson needed to affirm.
After all, there was an episode of false pregnancy before.
Thus, this time, she wanted to be sure.
Natalie nodded vigorously. “It’s confirmed.”
“Then that’s great.” Mrs. Wilson was so emotional that her eyes were wet. “Madam, that’s really great.”
Natalie smiled in reply.
Then, Mrs. Wilson took out her cell phone immediately.
Natalie’s heart jumped. “Mrs. Wilson, who are you calling?”
Laughing happily, Mrs. Wilson replied, “I’m going to inform Mr. Shane. Once he knows this, he’ll be overjoyed.”
Natalie’s countenance turned solemn at that. “Mrs. Wilson, are you certain that Shane would be glad to hear the news?”
“Madam, what do you mean?” Mrs. Wilson was puzzled.
Natalie bit her lower lip. “Shane now thinks that I am the daughter of his enemy, and so, he is now indifferent towards me. If he knows about the child in my womb now, do you think he will keep the unborn child? He is convinced that our marriage was a mistake, so the child I am carrying is naturally a mistake as well.”
“Oh…” Mrs. Wilson calmed down. “That can’t be true?”
“Why not? I’m the daughter of his enemy. He might not want to have this child. Even if the child is allowed to be born, would he love him or her?” Natalie asked Mrs. Wilson in reply.
Mrs. Wilson gaped speechlessly. At a loss what to do, she finally spoke. “Then… what shall we do? When can we tell Mr. Shane? We cannot keep mum about it forever, can we?”
“Of course not. We’ll play it by ear…” Natalie lowered her gaze as she spoke.
Tomorrow, she would look at what he had called evidence.
After viewing the evidence, she would be able to decide if the child stayed and if they remain married.
Nonetheless, the detective should also hurry up.
“Alright, then, though I still hope you can tell Mr. Shane soon,” Mrs. Wilson said.
Natalie just grunted in reply.
After that, Mrs. Wilson entered the kitchen again to prepare food suitable for a pregnant woman.
After her meal, Natalie rested in the hall for a while before heading for the office.
When her work was done, she drove to the detective’s office to inquire about the results of the investigation.
The detective that she had engaged told her, “Ms. Smith, concerning the accident which happened eighteen years ago, we have some results.”
“Really? My mom…”
Knowing what Natalie was going to ask, the detective replied, “There is no record of your mom’s car hitting anyone.”
Hearing that, Natalie was overjoyed. “That’s great to hear! As I’ve said, my mom couldn’t have crashed her car into anyone.”
