Anthony stood frozen, his tall frame tense and his usually composed features clouded with shock. His eyes swept over the scattered medical reports on the floor.
“Pregnant?”
“Yeah.” Charlotte had her hands tucked into her pockets, her wavy hair draped over her shoulders. She wore an oversized shirt and had this half-smirk on her lips, like she was both amused and exasperated.
Pregnant? Lottie was really having a baby? Anthony’s thoughts spun in a dizzy loop.
For a few seconds, nobody said a word. Then Anthony’s expression darkened. He stepped forward and snatched the stack of reports from the housekeeper’s hands.
The poor woman scurried out of the way, barely daring to breathe. Anthony’s aura was downright intimidating.
He flipped through the reports, page after page, but most of it was just a blur of medical jargon. His nerves were frayed, but he managed to find a couple of pages that made sense to him.
Before he could wrap his head around any of it, Lavinia’s shrill voice broke the silence. “Wait, the report!”
“What’s wrong with it? Is there something wrong with Lottie?” Patricia, Nora, and Samantha, still in shock themselves, rushed over to Lavinia.
Nora’s face had gone ghostly pale. She understood all too well what being pregnant meant for Lottie, especially when her body still hadn’t fully recovered.
“Let me see. What happened?” Samantha was still reeling from the pregnancy news, but her worry kicked in fast.
She grabbed the report from Lavinia and skimmed the first page, but when she turned to the next, she just froze… and then let out a scream.
“Nora, look at this!”
Samantha pulled Nora closer, her own face a storm of confusion, fear, and disbelief.
Nora frowned at what she read, then glanced up at Charlotte, standing just a few feet away. There was no hint of excitement in Nora’s eyes, only deep concern. This was the worst possible timing for a baby. More than anything, she just wanted Charlotte to be okay.
