"Now that you are not strapped for money, and you want to have the child, then you should make your life better yourself," said Maisie.
"Thanks," said Anya, whose voice obviously turned brisk, "I will."
Maisie added after thinking, "It will be suffering to experience the challenge of pregnancy and birth giving all alone. Hope you will get through it."
It was true, especially when one was indisposed due to pregnancy. Normally, every expectant woman couldn't avoid experiencing negative emotions, even they were accompanied by husbands, much less the women like them who could only withstood it by themselves.
Maisie added again, "If you need help, call me anytime."
At this moment, Anya was extremely moved, sobbing in the phone, "Thank you so much…"
"Calm down. Keep your mood steady. It's good for your baby," Maisie comforted her in a soft voice.
Maisie then asked, "By the way, do you have morning sickness? Or other discomfort?"
Anya answered. "Just feel sick in the morning sometimes."
"Well, good luck. Otherwise it's too painful," Maisie sighed with relief and added after thinking, "I'm worried about you. I will find time to see you in a few days."
Anya hurried to say, "It's okay. I can take care of myself. Don't worry. I'm fine."
Maisie's tenderness and concern made Anya impressed, but she didn't want to bother Maisie. It was in the foreign country after all. The distance was too far.
Another reason why Anya refused Maisie to see her was that she actually had severe morning sickness. Anya said so just in order to ease Maisie's mind.
She could hardly eat anything in those days. A little food could churn her stomach, even make her vomit.
If Maisie came to see her, she would worry about her badly.
As Maisie wanted to say something, she found that Ezra seemed to look for her from home. Hence, she didn't insist on visiting Anya, saying quickly, "Well, then take care of yourself, honey. Let me know if you need anything."
"Ezra is coming. Let's leave it at that."
"OK, let's talk later," said Anya.
"Fine."
While Maisie hung up, Ezra just came to her.
"Why make calls outside?" Ezra said so, squeezing Maisie's hands which were a bit cold. Then he took off his coat to wrap her up.
"Thank you." Maisie actually felt a bit chilly after standing outsides for a while. Although she felt moved by Ezra's actions, she was afraid that he would catch a cold.
Then she said at once, "Let's go inside. Don't catch cold."
And it exactly avoided the question that he just asked her.
Ezra put an arm on Maisie's shoulders, answering in a casual tone, "That's OK. I'm fine."
"And whom did you phone outsides?" Maisie unexpected that Ezra asked again.
