Chapter 583 Seemed To Be Pregnant
Almost tormented by him through the night, I awoke the following morning battered by soreness. As it was late when I got home and compiled with the lengthy anguish he inflicted upon me, it was almost daybreak when I was able to sleep.
Twisting and turning, I then turned to regard the soundly snoozing Michael with profound annoyance. Having gone at me so hard last night, he drifted off to sleep himself with scant regard for my feelings, and that very thought drove me to sit up and shake him.
Even though I had been at the receiving end of some serious punishment, it was he who shouldered the bulk of the physical exertion. That ought to have made him more knackered than I was. When he felt my movements, he groggily opened his eyes. “What’s up?”
“What’s up? Haven’t you realized it yourself yet?” Frowning, I regarded him unhappily when I heard what he said.
“Are you not satisfied with last night? Shall we have another go at it, then?” Confronted with my look of discontent, Michael did not react with displeasure. Conversely, he beamed a faint smile at me.
I was rendered speechless by his nonchalance. How is it that this man’s thought processes always seem to veer in that direction? Since when did I say that I wanted another go at it?
After I shot him a look, I paid him no further heed and clambered out of bed to freshen up.
For some unfathomable reason, while brushing my teeth, I started feeling nauseous like I did the other day.
In spite of going without anything to eat last night, I had gotten through the entire night without discomfort, so I could not understand the reasons for my own sudden urge to hurl.
I supposed that I must have gone at it too hard for too long last night on an empty stomach. Still, I found myself wanting to throw up during breakfast time.
That got the other members of the Shaw family unsettled. However, Josephine instead regarded me in glee.
“What’s happening? Are you feeling unwell?” Michael asked in concern when he saw me that way.
“I’m fine. It may probably just be an upset stomach, so there’s nothing to worry about. A short rest ought to be able to fix it.”
Although those feelings of queasiness did not go away, I still tried to play it cool just so I might lessen Michael’s worries.
Until the conclusion of the meal, I was still feeling quite under the weather. Thus, I went straight back to my own room to rest.
I had barely laid my head down when I heard a knock on the door. Shortly after, Josephine was seen pushing her way in.
“What brought you here, Mom?”
Josephine’s appearance took me by surprise.
“You didn’t have much of an appetite at breakfast just now, so I thought I should bring you some fruits,” said Josephine with a subtle smile as she looked at me with kindliness.
“Thank you.”
I smiled warmly as I met her eyes.
Not feeling too good right now and hankering for something sour, the grapes she brought were exactly what I needed. With nary another word, I helped myself to it.
As she watched me savor the food, her smile only widened.
“When did you start feeling sick, Anna? Have you had yourself checked out at the hospital yet?” Josephine’s gaze lingered upon me when she asked.
“I haven’t been able to do that yet. I felt a discomfort in my abdomen and was nauseous when I was brushing my teeth this morning. You needn’t worry yourself because I don’t think it’s anything too serious.”
