Pregnant women are cautious about medication due to the increased risk of birth defects.
"Really? I'm going to be a big sister?" Rong Doudou clapped her hands in delight. "Yay, yay!"
Mommy must have a sister.
She wanted a sister.
Compared to the joy of the Rong couple and Rong Doudou, the members of the Rothschild family wore varied expressions.
Francis, in particular, was a mix of joy and worry.
He hadn't even recovered from the news of his daughter's marriage and child, and now she was suddenly married and divorced? And with a buy-one-get-two-free deal?
Another grandchild?
Should he encourage her to abort? Or support her in keeping it?
That was the question.
Such a worry!
Du Ruoxin stumbled to the door, clutching her chest and retching.
She felt so unwell!
What was that smell that made her nauseous?
Fortunately, her stomach was empty, and Du Ruoxin only coughed up some clear saliva.
"What's wrong?" Kristino handed her a hot towel, his brow furrowed with concern.
Du Ruoxin wiped her mouth. "Nothing."
Perhaps it was just morning sickness?
She wasn't entirely sure.
Kristino, a straightforward man, didn't think much of it and asked, "Didn't you rest well last night?"
Du Ruoxin replied, "I slept too much during the day and didn't fall asleep until after three in the morning."
Kristino rubbed the back of her head. "Why don't you go back and sleep for a while? We can take Doudou to see kindergartens later."
Du Ruoxin shook her head. "It's fine. She'll make a fuss if I'm not with her."
The little tyrant wouldn't allow her to sleep in, unless she took Doudou out to play.
But in the entire household, besides Feng Linwan, who else could take Doudou?
Although the little girl liked everyone and was affectionate with everyone, she was still quite discerning.
And Du Ruoxin knew exactly why Feng Linwan had brought Doudou to the Rothschild family to acknowledge her relatives.
It was impossible.
She would never get back together with Rong Jingyang.
They were divorced, and that was that.
She had made up her mind to live alone. Without love, she still had sustenance, and she could do many meaningful things with the rest of her life.
She didn't want to be emotionally devastated over a man again.
Living a half-dead life.
Focusing on her career and enjoying life, wasn't that better?
She remembered her old dream...
She wanted to travel to every corner of the world and leave her own mark.
Over the years, in the process of living, Du Ruoxin had forgotten herself.
Alas!
Let her youth be fed to the dogs.
Du Ruoxin decided to move forward, without looking back or settling for less.
She reached the doorway.
"Ugh—"
The smell of cooking oil wafted into her nostrils, and she couldn't help but vomit again.
No, no, she felt terrible.
Du Ruoxin fled outwards as if escaping, and only when she could no longer smell the oil did she stop feeling like she had to throw up.
Seeing her state, Kristino worried, "Are you feeling unwell? I'll call the family doctor..."
Du Ruoxin stopped him from calling. "No need, I'm fine."
How was she supposed to tell her elder brother that she might be pregnant again?
Du Ruoxin walked to a nearby sofa and sat down, saying weakly, "Brother, could you get me a cup of hot milk and a slice of mousse cake?"
Kristino: "Okay."
He personally went to the kitchen to get the breakfast Du Ruoxin wanted. He brought it to her, along with a basket of steamed dumplings.
"Thank you." Du Ruoxin took a sip of milk and picked up a fork to eat.
But as soon as the cake touched her tongue, her taste buds registered its flavor. The food she usually loved was now like sand in her mouth, difficult to swallow.
She spat it out.
Her entire face crumpled, and she felt like crying without tears.
It was over, it was over. She didn't need to go to the hospital for a check-up; she knew she was definitely pregnant!
Such severe morning sickness!
It was truly...
Why hadn't she gotten pregnant earlier or later? Why, just as she decided to cut ties with Rong Jingyang, did she unexpectedly conceive a child?
No!
If she wanted to completely break off with Rong Jingyang, she couldn't keep this child!
