"Hmm, I hope my senior brother finds Lina soon!" Ivy Aretha said, resting her head in Michael Gordon's arms. She spoke in a low voice with a hint of lament, "Being pregnant alone is really tough!"
The seemingly casual blessing left a deep wound on Michael Gordon. He couldn't help but picture her with a big belly, standing in line at the hospital. Feeling a pang in his heart, he immediately replied, "It has been tough on you, my wife. It won't happen again!"
It won't happen again?
Ivy Aretha was stunned at first, but she quickly recalled his words about "next time" their baby is born. When she didn't respond, the man's deep voice became more earnest. "Next time when we have a little brother for Bianca, I will take care of you throughout the pregnancy, making sure you have a happy pregnancy!"
Uh?
A happy pregnancy?
