The doctors wiped off their sweat.
Some pregnant women had morning sickness for a few days, but for others, it could last until childbirth.
Such matters were hard to predict.
After some thought, one of the doctors said, âMs. Shaw is pregnant, and her dietary preferences may
change significantly. Itâs essential to pay attention to this aspect. Also, itâs crucial to maintain happiness
during pregnancy. Once her mood improves, these symptoms should alleviate considerably.â
Indeed, for humans, mood played a significant role in their health. Patients who miraculously recovered
from terminal illnesses had a positive mindset nearly 99 percent of the time. Hence, maintaining a good
mood during pregnancy was important.
Moreover, Vicky had been extremely depressed over being confined to the villa. Being locked in bed for
a while would hardly put anyone in a good mood.
Shortly after the doctor left, Jade came to report on the situation.
Monitoring Vickyâs activities was her responsibility, along with another female bodyguard who took
shifts.
Jade reported what Vicky had been doing for the day, which was not much different from yesterday.
In fact, there had not been much variation recently. Every day felt the same.
Even though Tyler granted Vicky some freedom, she did not want to go outside. Most of her time was
spent in idle contemplation, and she did not even bother reading any of the parenting books.
While she had not caused any trouble lately, her self-destructive state made it difficult for anyone to
believe she would safely give birth in a year.
After reporting everything to Tyler, Jade did not leave as she used to and instead looked at Tyler
hesitantly as if she wanted to say something.
Tylerâs tone remained calm as he encouraged her, âJust say whatâs on your mind.â
After pondering it for a moment, Jade spoke up. âToday, Ms. Shaw and I had a brief conversation, and
during our talkâ¦I sensed she might be concerned about your relationship with Miss Everly. Could it be
that sheâs not willing to give birth because she doesnât want to be the mistress or have her child labeled
as illegitimate? Perhapsâ¦you should explain it to her? Sheâs been quite depressed lately. Being locked
inside the villa all day and being bedridden arenât helping. Avoidance wonât solve any issue. Even if
sheâs willing to have the child, thereâs still the question of whether she can give birth safely when the
time comes.â
Tylerâs gaze darkened, but he remained silent.
Jade could not speak freely about matters involving her superior, and she refrained from saying more.
After addressing Tyler respectfully, she left.
The next day, Tyler left early in the morning.
Renovations on the adjacent baby room were still ongoing. Jade suggested a few times that Vicky visit
the baby room, but she had been refused each time.
Vicky sat reclining on a reclining chair on the balcony, basking in the sun.
The afternoon sun was warm and comfortable, and she soon drifted off to sleep.
She awoke after some time to find someone sitting across from her.
Startled, she jolted.
Seeing the panic on her face, Aria quickly said, âIâm sorry. I saw that you were asleep, so I didnât want
to disturb you. Did I startle you?â
Ariaâs attitude was notably gentle, devoid of the hatred and interrogation one might expect from a wife
upon seeing her husbandâs mistress. Even so, Vickyâs remained on edge.
