"Mom, no, it's just that my stomach isn't feeling well." Victoria quickly explained.
"I know, I know," Mrs. Clegg gently patted Victoria's shoulder, "When I was pregnant with Hank, my stomach wasn't comfortable either. I even thought I had a cold, and almost took cold medicine. Then I suddenly realized, wasn't it morning sickness? Despite having a child before, how can I be so confused?"
Victoria...
Indeed, she was misunderstood!
"I just happen to be... uncomfortable today, not that..." Victoria hurriedly tried to clarify.
However, Mrs. Clegg wasn't listening at all, "You, stop hiding it. You almost passed out at the dinner table. It's fortunate that I gave you a slice of ham, which made you reveal your secret. Honestly,"
Mrs. Clegg continued, pointing at Victoria's forehead, "We're all family here, there's no need to be embarrassed. Does Hank know about this?"
"He doesn't know," Victoria answered impulsively, "No. It's not like that..."
