Lydia was woken by Quincy's voice, his expression filled with concern. Groggily, she opened her eyes and saw him leaning over her. "Quincy... why are you here? My head hurts so much," she murmured, pressing a hand to her temple. It felt like her head was about to split open.

She tried to recall what had happened before she blacked out, but her memory was a blur. The last thing she remembered was seeing a waiter, and then... nothing. She couldn't even piece together how Quincy had found her. Lydia asked Quincy about it, but his expression grew complicated. He hesitated, as if he had something on his mind but wasn't sure whether to say it.

Finally, he chose to hold back. "You're not feeling well, so don't worry about it too much. It's almost morning, and the yacht is returning to the harbor. Let's just get off and head home."

Seeing how evasive he was, Lydia instinctively felt that Quincy was hiding something from her. But her headache was too severe to focus on it. For now, she let it go and pushed the thought aside.

After they disembarked, Quincy took her to a nearby hospital for a checkup. His insistence made her feel uneasy, but she didn't argue. Fortunately, when the results came back, everything seemed fine. "The test shows she inhaled a small amount of anesthesia," the doctor said, frowning slightly. "This type of drug isn't safe for pregnant women. How could you let this happen to your wife?" "Anesthesia?" Lydia's mind raced, trying to remember when she could have come into contact with something like that. And then it clicked.

She quickly spoke up to defend Quincy, "Doctor, it's not his fault. I must've accidentally come into contact with it."
