My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 31

Walking on the stone pavement, I saw a man about 35 years of age plucking at branches with his child.

He noticed me walking in. He stopped what he was doing and greeted me, "Nice to meet you!"

I replied to him with a smile, "Nice to meet you too!"

The child beside him looked like he had just learned how to walk. When the child saw me, he let go of his father and tottered towards me. He seemed to be an easygoing child.

He had yet learned how to speak properly, therefore he could only widen his eyes at me and handed me the yellow flower in his hand.

For a moment, I was so happy that I had an urge to hug and carry him in my arms. Unexpectedly, the man stopped me and advised, "You are pregnant. Don't be hasty, you should be careful!"

I was dazed and looked at him in surprise. I could only ask him one word before trailing off, "You..." How did he find out that I was pregnant?

I didn't ask that out loud.

He said, "You don't have to be surprised. I know a little about medical skills. Judging from your complexion and the fact that you unconsciously protected your lower abdomen when you were walking just now, I thought that you might be pregnant."

I nodded. I couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for him.

"The scenery in this courtyard is very special." I changed the topic. "It's a bit like a vegetable garden!"

The man laughed and corrected me, "To be exact, this is Herb Garden. There are more than 2,000 kinds of herbs here, including some herbs on the verge of extinction."

I was stunned and observed my surroundings carefully. It was true. There were not many vegetables, but there were indeed many unknown plants and even a tall cactus.

"This place was originally called Herb Garden. Ucrebury has the best climate in the country and is also the best place to cultivate vegetation. Therefore, it has become a place to cultivate many varieties of herbs. Even though we don't have many herbs here, the species of herbs here are quite unique." He then sorted out the branches in his hands and was ready to leave with the child.

I nodded and watched him leave with the child. It was then that I started to look around.
