Chapter 147 - 150: Mother-in-law Supports Her
“Madam, I… I don’t know either!” Ellie wrung her hands, even more anxious than Emily Taylor.
“This morning, when Young Master left, he said he would be back for dinner. That’s why Young Lady has been waiting for him all this time. However…”
“Lily is pregnant! If she says she wants to wait for you all, don’t you know to persuade her to eat first? How can a pregnant woman go hungry?!”
Ellie explained with difficulty, “We tried to persuade her, but Young Lady wouldn’t listen. And, after Young Master left this morning, Young Lady suddenly started having morning sickness. The reaction was particularly intense. She could only eat sour things, anything else she would vomit at the slightest taste.”
“Is it that serious?”
Emily Taylor couldn’t help but frown. “When 1 was pregnant with Ethan Wilson, 1 had no such problems. Besides a love for sour food, I hardly vomited at all.”
However, when Emily heard that Lily Gray preferred sour food and could only suppress her nausea by eating sour items, she couldn’t help but feel secretly happy.
It’s said that a preference for sour food during pregnancy indicates it’s more likely to be a boy.
Because of this belief, Emily’s originally dim eyes became brighter.
Just at that moment, the family doctor came out.
“Dr. Collins, how is it? My daughter-in-law is alright, right?”
Dr. Collins was the Lucas family’s personal doctor, around fifty years old, and had been serving the family for many years.
“Madam, rest assured, Young Lady is fine.”
Dr. Collins explained reassuringly: “Morning sickness is a common condition during early pregnancy. However, Young Lady’s case is particularly severe. Such a severe reaction to morning sickness can easily cause dizziness. Moreover, Young Lady has not eaten today, her body is weak, so she fainted.”
“But don’t worry, Madam, I’ve already put Young Lady on a nutrient solution, and starting from tomorrow, try not to let her smell any greasy food, prepare a light diet, and have more sour snacks or ginger slices handy…”
Dr. Collins gave very detailed instructions, a whole heap of precautions.
Ellie took notes, and after thanking Dr. Collins, Emily went into the bedroom.
After a while, Ellie saw Emily with tears in her eyes coming out of the bedroom. “Madam, what happened? Why are you…”
Emily shook her head, “It’s nothing…nothing. I just saw Lily lying there, her face so pale, and Ethan not by her side…I suddenly thought of myself back then, Ellie…”
“Madam, don’t be sad. It’s been so many years, and everything is alright now. Young Master has grown up, and that…that person is no longer in the Lucas family. It’s time for you to enjoy your blessings. Don’t think about the past anymore!”
Ellie was an old servant by Emily’s side and knew all about the past.
“I know. I just couldn’t help but be reminded of the past seeing Lily.”
Emily furrowed her brow, a rare anger appearing on her usually dignified and graceful face.
“Ethan has gone too far… Lily is at home suffering with his child, yet he’s nowhere to be found. Hmph, I don’t need to guess where he is; he must be with that girl from the Wellington family!”
“Madam, really? 1 remember Young Master didn’t have that kind of interest in Miss Wellington.”
“How could he not? He may not be interested in Joan Wellington, but he has never given up on Hannah Ford. Joan and Hannah are close friends. If Joan invites Ethan to talk about Hannah, do you think he would go?”
“Then, then what should we do now?”
Upon hearing this, Ellie became anxious. That person back then left when Madam was pregnant… Would the Young Master do the same?
“Hmph, if he dares to mess around at a time like this, I’ll be the first to not let him off! Ellie, you go watch Lily, and I will personally go to the Wellington girl and get him back..”
