A Love Trap

"No. I need to go see Camelia now,"

Belinda said, not caring about what Martin had just said to her.

The only thing that mattered to her right now was to go and see Camelia.

"That's enough!" Martin barked strictly. "Why can't you just stay in bed? Do you want to get hospitalized for an entire month? You know that you can't go anywhere given your current condition!"

Naturally, he was more worried about Belinda's well-being above anything else, so her stubbornness was making him a bit angry.

Just a few days earlier, her health had suffered because of all the trouble that Angelina had caused in their lives.

Even though Belinda had been resting since then, she had not yet fully recovered.

Who could've possibly told her what had happened?

Martin shifted his gaze to Jeremy, his eyes filled with helplessness and annoyance.

"Please listen to me, mother," Jeremy said as he gently pulled Belinda back. "We already found Camelia, but she's in hospital now. We can go there and visit her as soon as you get better."

"What? What happened? Why is she in the hospital? What happened to her?"

Belinda asked as she tightly held Jeremy's hand. Her face was filled with so much anxiety and concern.

"Don't worry. She's fine. It's just that... well... she's expecting,"

Jeremy said with a hint of slyness.

Even Martin, who had been wanting to drive Jeremy out ever since he got there, was stunned into silence.

'Did... did I hear that right?

Belinda was going to be... a grandmother?

That would also make me...' Martin's thoughts trailed off as he slowly digested the news.

The couple stared at Jeremy with disbelief.

"What did you just say?" Belinda asked a few moments later. "Did I hear it wrong? Are you saying that Camelia is pregnant? I'm really going to be a grandmother?"
