The next moment, Anastasia covered her mouth and bent over as she felt like puking.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Elliot bent down and hugged her.
“I just feel nauseous all of a sudden.” She was feeling unwell.
The nauseousness came back again after she took a few more steps. She felt dispirited since she didn’t know what was wrong with her body.
When he noticed that, Elliot brought her back to their room and poured some warm water for her. She lay on the couch after finishing the drink since she felt uncomfortable.
Then, Anastasia started retracing what she had eaten or done the past few days. Besides constantly feeling tired, she didn’t seem to have eaten anything wrong.
Suddenly, something came to her mind as she immediately sat up and stared at Elliot.
Elliot seemed startled by her reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Do you think we’ve hit the jackpot?” She immediately got down from the couch and walked toward the cupboard. She was searching for something in her pouch.
“What are you looking for?” Elliot walked toward her and asked.
“This. I’ll go and take a test.” She took out a box and showed it to him.
After she went into the washroom, Elliot had mixed feelings about having a second child. Although he wanted another child, when he thought of the discomfort that Anastasia would have to go through, he was happy just to have Jared.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was standing next to the sink while checking the results, and she was overjoyed when she saw the two red lines that appeared. She was finally pregnant with her second child, and she hoped that it would be a daughter.
When she got out of the bathroom, she teased Elliot and pretended to look disappointed. “It’s not,” she said.
Hearing that, he seemed relieved and hugged her as he smiled. “That’s good. If you really are pregnant, it would bring you a lot of pregnancy related discomfort.”
“What? Don’t you want a daughter?” Anastasia was surprised by his words.
