Presley closed his mouth tightly and gave a deep nod of agreement. The hope on Wendy’s face was completely shattered. Under the table, Grace discreetly kicked her. When Wendy glanced at her, Grace signaled her to keep eating. After a moment of hesitation, she picked up her fork and knife again.

Most of the moms who lost their babies were… And where’s your husband? Why didn’t you bring him along for the checkup? It’s best if the two of you come together… And let the baby’s dad also watch as the baby grows… Watch your diet and exercise properly…”
