Next One Is a Babe

Her condition? Logan peered out the door over his shoulder. “She’s okay now, and she ate a bit. She doesn’t seem to be feeling as bad as she was earlier. At noon, she threw up everything she’d eaten.”

“This is normal during pregnancy. From the very beginning when the embryo is formed to delivery at the very end, not a single day passes without discomfort.” Lorraine’s voice was gentle. Then, she urged, “Be nicer to her. Her temper might get increasingly volatile as time passes, so just put up with it.”

Logan gave a bark of laughter. “You speak as though you’re certain that she’s pregnant.”

Lorraine said nothing, but she felt that it was undoubtedly the case. Lola is young, so it’s no surprise that it’s easy for her to conceive. However, she couldn’t swear by it since she was afraid of giving Logan too much hope as his disappointment would certainly double if it all turned out to be a misunderstanding. She merely told him to buy some fruits with an antiemetic effect before saying that Lola should start taking folic acid supplements. Then, she also informed him of some other things he should note.

Logan nodded. “Okay, got it.”

They didn’t talk for long. Logan then hurried back out to watch television with Lola. During the day, Lola was in such distress, but she was increasingly better at this time. While watching the television program, she laughed uproariously. Upon seeing her in such high spirits, Logan felt that perhaps he’d read into things too much. There’s nothing wrong with her now, so maybe it was just a stomach problem. He couldn’t put a finger on whether he was disappointed. I don’t want to see her suffer, but I do yearn for a child. Such a feeling was rather unsettling, so he tried his best to compose himself.

After watching two episodes of television series with her, he took her out of the hotel for a stroll. While strolling, he gave Ian a call to inform him that he would be leaving with Lola. Surprised, Ian asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

Logan didn’t dare tell him the truth, afraid that he’d drawn the wrong conclusion. “No. Lola isn’t feeling very well, and she didn’t eat much today. Perhaps she’s too tired since we’ve been away from home for too long.”

Ian was actually very understanding of him, so he promptly reassured him that it was fine and urged him to take Lola home to rest. Anyway, he’d been feeling rather guilty in the first place that they came all the way here because of him and went all over the place with him, so he felt all the more worse now that Lola had fallen ill from the weariness. This is originally their honeymoon, yet it’s now coming to such an end.

Logan then told him not to take it to heart, assuring him that they’d been having much fun in the half a month they’d been away.

On the other end, Ian sighed. “I’ll find a time to take some time off and go back for a gathering.”

“It’s okay. Your job is more important now, and I’m all the more happy the better you do. In the future, no one from the Morgan Family will dare pick on you anymore.”

After the two of them had exchanged a few more words, Ian then had something to do, so they hung up.

There was a slight breeze at night, so Lola felt very much energized after enjoying some wind. Hooking her arm around Logan’s, she mused in a voice threaded with hope, “Say, if I’m truly pregnant, will it be a boy or a girl?”
