It was the modern era, and mankind’s knowledge had expanded exponentially. Heck, just some time
ago, someone discovered a habitable planet.
Despite all that progress, there were still some things that science could not explain.
Perhaps magic was real, and there were some ways to foresee soineone’s future.
There were all kinds of fortune-telling methods all around the world, such as palm reading and tarot
cards.
Perhaps not everything was a con.
Henrick never noticed how Cindy was acting weird. He simply nodded firmly and added, “Of course
we’re sure! We just got back from the hospital this afteinoon. Why
are you asking this?”
Michael tsked and stroked his beard before saying, “Then that is truly strange. Your wife is not destined
to
have another child.” Henrick frowned right away.
Even Malorie couldn’t help asking, “Did the hospital make a mistake?”
Cindy was so scared that she didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly. She bit her lips and stopped
talking entirely.
She regretted her decision then and there. I slioulcl’vc just hired someone offthe streets. Why did I
have to hire the famous Michael?
Henrick, however, insisted, “It’s not possible! There is
no mistake. The pregnancy strip might’ve been faulty, but the hospital confirmed the pregnancy, so it
can’t
have been wrong. Michael, do you mind doing another reading? I can share my birth date with you as
well.”
“That’s not necessary,” replied Michael as he waved his hand and added, “Unborn babies’ readings are
based on the mother’s birth dates. The father’s birth date would not help. If the hospital has already
confirmed the pregnancy, then perhaps I am just exhausted from the seance and can’t get an accurate
reading anymore. There is one other possibility, though.”
“What could that be?” asked Henrick hurriedly.
“The baby might not survive the pregnancy. That would result in a similar reading.”
Cindy sighed a breath of relief immediately and instinctively blurted, “That must be it!”
Henrick and Malorie couldn’t help turning to Cindy and staring strangely.
That was when Cindy noticed that her behavior was off. No mother would be so certain and firm when
others said that their unborn baby will die in the womb.
Hence, she quickly added, “But it’ll all change if! rest well and protect the baby, right?”
Michael nodded and replied, “Perhaps. We’ll have to see how late plays out. For now, you should locus
on
resting up.”
Cindy sighed a breath of relief. She felt like paying ten times the regular fee was worth it.
Still… It seems it’s a little difficult to control him. I can’t afford to waste any more time. I will not pay all
that money for naught, and I can’t let Arielle stay. If she
does, she will eventually discover that my pregnancy is fake!
Thinking about that prompted Cindy to ask, “By the way, what else can you tell us and help us with?
Perhaps the geomancy of the place or if there is any bad luck?”
At first, Malorie was worried about how the baby might die in the womb, but hearing those words
reminded her of why she had Cindy hire Michael in the first place.
We have to chase that Arielle out of here.
Malorie was quick to chime in, “That’s true. You’re here anyway, so please help us see if there is
anything wrong with the aura in the house. To be honest, two of our young had passed away in the last
month. I can’t bear to lose another child or grandchild again.”
