It turned out that ever since Eudora had left the wooden cabin, Tina and Christopher had left too.
However, they did not go back to the Gellert family home. Instead, they moved into a place of their own.
Now, Tina was still focused on taking care of Christopher as she always did. Although Christopher was working for the Gellert family, the fact that Tina was focusing all her attention on Christopher had not been affected.
Two days ago, there had been a teambuilding activity in the company. Initially, both Tina and Christopher were unwilling to attend.
However, in order to consolidate his status, Anthony made it compulsory for all the employees to attend. Therefore, Christopher had no choice but to go.
Therefore, Tina followed Christopher along. However, she only stayed in the same hotel and did not join the team-building activities.
Every day, she would prepare delicious food for Christopher! Truth be told, many colleagues in the company knew about them, and everyone was envious of the loving couple.
They were sweet as honey.
Everyone knew about the matter, yet stayed quiet about it.
That day, after being busy for an entire afternoon to prepare food and drinks for Christopher, Tina had prepared various delicious dishes. She felt that Christopher had gotten thinner after attending a few days of team-building activities.
Therefore, he needed to eat more to replenish himself.
Christopher told Tina to eat together with him, but unexpectedly, she retched just as she was about to eat.
The incident frightened Christopher. He dropped everything and quickly took Tina to the hospital nearby for examination.
Tina initially thought that she was unable to get pregnant, thus she had written off that possibility. When the couple heard from the doctor that she was pregnant, they were dumbfounded.
Tina called Eudora excitedly after confirming with the doctor repeatedly that she was pregnant.
Listening to Tina sobbing uncontrollably on the other end of the line, Eudora was so moved that her eyes were also filling with tears upon hearing her voice.
It had been a tough and difficult journey for them to bear this child. Hence, it was no surprise that they were all so excited.
"That's amazing!" Eudora said with a smile. "You were right. Good things always come when you least expect them. When will you be back? I'll come to see you."
"I can't go back yet! Christopher said that I have to rest for a few days. Eudora, I have some questions regarding the pregnancy."
Tina had grown up with Tyler, and there had not been any other women at home. Naturally, she knew little about being pregnant.
Tina still needed Eudora to guide her through the journey.
Eudora did her best and recounted everything she knew to Tina. She explained each fact one by one, reminding her to stay safe and to not tire herself out.
She was worried that Tina would spend too much energy taking care of Christopher. If something bad happened to Tina, it would be a disaster.
Tina listened carefully and wrote everything on a piece of paper.
The two sisters chatted for a while before hanging up.
Eudora had just arrived home when she ended the call. Eudora could not hold back the excitement in her heart and quickly got out of the car. She wanted to tell Amos about what had just happened.
However, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Amos talking on the phone while sitting on the sofa.
Sugar Bun was sitting beside him and looking around with his big eyes.
The moment he saw Eudora at home, he parted his lips and shouted, "Mom..."
Eudora walked over and held the little fellow in her arms.
She sat down beside Amos and watched as he talked on the phone.
At the other end of the line was Christopher's excited and nervous voice. He was saying, "What do we have to pay attention to at the beginning of pregnancy?"
Amos patiently shared his experience with him and only hung up the call after half an hour.
The couple looked at each other and said in unison.
