Chapter 936: Chapter 482: Extra Story: For the Sake of Responsibility? (Part 2)

"Yes, yes, mom, take a closer look," Becca joked with a smile.

Mrs. Geoffrey held Christine’s hand, making her turn in a circle, "No, I don’t see anything..."

Christine, feeling a bit embarrassed by Becca’s teasing, shyly said, "Mom, Becca is just joking with you..."

"I’m not joking, mom, Christine is really different today, very different."

"Oh?" Mrs. Geoffrey pulled Christine to sit beside her, examining her carefully, "Is there really something different?"

While Mrs. Geoffrey looked puzzled, Becca finally exclaimed joyfully, "Mom, Christine is pregnant!!"

"What, pregnant?"

Mrs. Geoffrey visibly shook.

Originally expecting to see a surprised expression on Mrs. Geoffrey’s face, both Christine and Becca were taken aback by her current look.

After a moment, Becca hesitantly said, "Mom, you..."

Mrs. Geoffrey seemed to come to her senses, quickly putting on a smile, "Christine, you’re pregnant?"

Seeing the smile on Mrs. Geoffrey’s face, Christine then snapped out of her daze and smiled slightly, "Yes."

Mrs. Geoffrey held Christine affectionately and asked, "When did this happen?"

Becca answered eagerly, "The doctor said Christine has been pregnant for forty-five days..."

"Already forty-five days..."

Christine nodded, "I wasn’t sure before, only found out when I went to the hospital today."

Becca snuggled up to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Mom, the doctor said Christine’s health isn’t good, she needs to take care, so as the grandma-to-be, you need to start taking action..."

"Of course, of course, Christine being pregnant is truly a great thing..."

Mrs. Geoffrey smiled happily, yet somehow her smile seemed a bit stiff.

Immersed in joy, Becca and Christine didn’t notice the slight stiffness in Mrs. Geoffrey’s smile, she then asked, "Does Oversky know about this?"

Christine shook her head with a smile, "I haven’t told him yet, planning to surprise him when he comes back."

"Good, good..." Mrs. Geoffrey kept nodding, but couldn’t control her slightly stiff smile.

Five days later.

Christine and Becca were chatting in the room, midway through when Christine suddenly felt nauseous and rushed to the bathroom.

These days, Christine’s morning sickness started becoming more apparent, with early pregnancy discomfort symptoms appearing.

Supporting Christine out of the bathroom, Becca was a bit worried, "Sis, you seem very uncomfortable these days, should we see a doctor..."

Christine shook her head, "I felt the same when I was pregnant with Marie, it’ll be better in a while."

"But you’re vomiting so badly..."

"It’s okay." Christine sat on the sofa in the room, lightly patting her chest to suppress the nausea.

Becca helped Christine lean against the sofa and said with concern, "The baby needs nutrition, but you vomit every time you eat, the baby can’t absorb any nutrition..."

"Then what should we do?" Thinking of how Marilyn was once declared malnourished in her womb by the doctor, Christine began to worry.

"I’ll go ask mom if there’s anything to alleviate the nausea..."

"Okay."

Becca said and went downstairs.

Finding Mrs. Geoffrey in the dining room, Becca hurriedly said, "Mom..."

Mrs. Geoffrey seemed to be in a daze and didn’t hear Becca calling.

"Mom!!"

When Becca came over to Mrs. Geoffrey’s side and called again, Mrs. Geoffrey finally came to her senses. "Becca."

Becca reached out to hold Mrs. Geoffrey, lightly laughing, "What are you thinking about that you’re so lost?"

Mrs. Geoffrey shook her head, "Nothing."

Becca said, "Mom, Christine has been really uncomfortable due to morning sickness these days... Is there anything that can make her feel better during pregnancy?"

"Becca..." Mrs. Geoffrey suddenly grasped Becca’s hand, her voice a bit hoarse.

"What?" Becca quickly supported Mrs. Geoffrey, "Mom, are you not feeling well?"

"I’m not unwell, I just..."

"Hmm?"

"Becca, I’ve been thinking for days and still don’t know what to do, but Oversky is coming back tomorrow, I can only talk to you."

"What’s the matter, mom?" Becca helped Mrs. Geoffrey sit down at the dining table, looking concerned.

Mrs. Geoffrey tightly held Becca’s hand and whispered, "Becca, I’m really happy that Christine is pregnant, but... but Oversky doesn’t want a child."

Mrs. Geoffrey’s words left Becca stunned, "Mom, what are you saying?"

Mrs. Geoffrey shook her head sorrowfully, "Yes, Oversky doesn’t want a child right now..."
