The Hidden Empress Stripping Her Secrets After Divorce novel Chapter 201

The small VIP ward suddenly felt crowded as everyone piled in.

Lyra immediately set down her glass of water, struggling to get out of bed. "Mr. Lancaster, Mrs. Lancaster, what brings you here... please, have a seat."

"Don't move, don't move," her mother quickly held her down. "You haven't recovered yet, don't push yourself."

Lawrence waved a hand and took a seat by the window. "Your health comes first, Ms. Langford. There's no need for formalities."

Penelope stood at the door, showing no intention of sitting. Her icy gaze swept over Lyra, then Lyra's parents, and finally landed on Christian with a predatory sharpness.

Her father hurried to bring another chair. "Mrs. Lancaster, please."

Penelope reluctantly sat on the edge of the seat, her back ramrod straight and her hands folded neatly in her lap, looking ready to stand up and leave at a moment's notice.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became delicate.

Her mother poured water for everyone, then stood awkwardly by her daughter's bed, secretly observing the Lancaster couple's expressions.

Lawrence spoke first, his tone even and unreadable. "How is Ms. Langford's health? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said... it's severe early pregnancy symptoms, coupled with recent emotional fluctuations, that caused the fainting," Lyra replied softly, her fingers unconsciously caressing her flat stomach. "I need to rest for a while."

"Pregnant?" Lawrence's gaze fell on her stomach, pausing for a few seconds. "How many months?"

A faint blush crept onto Lyra's cheeks. "We just... just found out. One month."
