Xia Nuannuan shook her head. "It's nothing. My stomach has been acting up. It's nothing serious."
With a wave of her hand, she stood up straight and let Qiao Lian lead her out of the restroom.
As they walked out, they saw Xia Yehua standing near the doorway, giving Xia Nuannuan a strange look. She asked, "Have. You. Had. Your. Period. This. Month?"
Xia Yehua's speech was slurred due to the stroke. However, she made an effort to say those words one at a time, clearly.
With a blank look, Xia Nuannuan shook her head at the question and said, "No, I haven't."
Then, as though suddenly realizing something, her expression changed.
With a look of disbelief, her gaze fell on her own abdomen.
Still looking at her intently, Xia Yehua asked again, "Then. Are. You. Pregnant?"
Color drained from Xia Nuannuan's face.
Qiao Lian held Xia Yehua and said, "Mom, Nuannuan doesn't have a boyfriend."
