Amy rushed to the bathroom to throw up. It was so intense that she had tears in her eyes. She sat beside the toilet for a while and came out until she was quite sure that she was feeling better.
Still starving, Amy wiped the tears and sat at the dining table again. But it was even worse this time. She wanted to vomit the moment she smelt meat and oil.
"Robin, Robin, take those away." Amy hurriedly asked Robin to take the meat away, leaving only the vegetable porridge in front of her.
She managed to drink half a bowl and still felt so uncomfortable. So she went upstairs to lie down and have a rest.
Oh no. She shouldn’t have indulged herself too much yesterday. She had eaten too many kinds of food at one time, which should be the reason why she had an upset stomach now.
Lying on the bed, Amy fell asleep very quickly. Robin had reported Amy's discomfort to Richard. So he dropped his work and went home immediately.
In a daze, Amy felt someone touching her forehead and stomach.
"Stop messing around. I want to sleep." She rolled over and fell asleep again. She was too sleepy to care who it was.
"Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter should be pregnant. To be certain, she should go to the hospital for a thorough check." The family doctor had been quite occupied recently. He had been up all night busy with Richard's transfusion last night. And then he was informed that Amy was ill. Fortunately, she was pregnant.
"What? She's pregnant?" Richard was stunned all of a sudden. He never thought that Amy would give him a baby.
"Ye... yes. Mr. Carter, if you don't like it, we could come up with a way earlier so that it won’t harm Mrs. Carter’s health." Noticing the look on Richard's face, the doctor guessed he disliked the fact that Amy was pregnant. Everyone knew that he only loved Allison.
"Leave us alone, please," Richard dismissed Robin and the doctor. He sat beside Amy's bed and quietly watched her.
She was pregnant? So what should he do now?
Amy was sleeping soundly. Richard did not want to disturb her. They would go to the hospital tomorrow to run a checkup. Today, his priority was knowing what a husband should do if his wife was pregnant.
He didn't have any clue. He was both happy and nervous to be a father. And he also felt sorry for Amy.
After talking to Robin, Richard returned to the company. He had been absent-minded from work all the morning, busy with searching the Internet for what pregnant women should pay attention to, what they should eat, and what the husbands should do.
Amy didn’t get enough sleep until the afternoon. Once she woke up, she was hungry, but at the thought of those greasy dishes, she lost her appetite. She just wanted to have some porridge.
"Mrs. Carter, what would you like to eat?" Amy went downstairs. Before she could open her mouth, Robin asked.
"Porridge, I guess. Don't add anything else please." Amy didn't want to eat anything oily.
"Sure. I've prepared some for you already," Robin had prepared some food. He had asked the servants who had given birth and found out that although they disliked meat during pregnancy, their appetite varied greatly. Some liked to have something spicy while others sour or sweet.
So Robin prepared some of everything. And Amy could pick something to eat when she woke up. Porridge was included.
Hearing that there was porridge, Amy felt hungry again. She quickly took a bowl of porridge, but in no time, she felt uncomfortable again and threw up.
