Ashley frowned and covered her mouth with her hands. She felt miserable and felt like vomiting.
"What's wrong?"
"Ash!"
The two men looked at Ashley nervously, trying to guess what was wrong with her.
"I'll call the doctor right away," Jeremy said anxiously.
With her eyes wide open, Ashley suddenly stood up and pulled Jeremy back, shaking her head. She
didn't want him call the doctor.
After a while, the nausea had subsided.
She had just retched so Ashley's eyes were red and swollen. They were also filled with tears.
She pulled herself together and said, "I'm fine. It's just a normal pregnancy reaction. You don't have to
worry."
But after reassuring the two men, she suddenly felt nauseated once again, and it was more intense
than last time.
Immediately, she threw back the covers and rushed towards the washroom.
The two men looked at each other helplessly and didn't know what to do.
Considering the situation she was in, it seemed that she wasn't fine at all.
Truth to be told, the two of them couldn't understand what a normal pregnancy reaction was.
While Ashley was in the washroom, Jeremy took out his phone and searched online for information on
pregnancy reactions.
He immediately got a lot in the search results.
One of them read, "At the early stages of pregnancy, the hormone levels in a woman's body increases,
resulting in nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. These are some of the common signs of pregnancy.
However, none of these signs need any special treatment. They will eventually disappear after the third
month.
If a pregnant woman has severe reactions loses her appetite, she should be sent to the hospital as
soon as possible for proper treatment which may include but not limited to transfusion.
Diet for a pregnant woman should be light, easy to digest and must be consumed in small frequent
meals."
Jeremy looked carefully at the search results and those were indeed helpful.
He was too concerned, and anyone who didn't know about them would think that he was Ashley's
boyfriend.
After knowing that it was just a natural reaction, Jeremy felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, Andrew. It was a normal reaction." Jeremy showed his cell phone to Andrew after he
finished reading.
Andrew took Jeremy's cell phone from his hand and looked at it quickly.
However, even after going through the search results, he kept frowning.
'It would have been better if she had not gotten pregnant, ' he thought.
Andrew loved her so much that seeing her suffer every day pained him. He was afraid that he might
lose control of himself.
He already hated the unborn child who made his beloved woman suffer like this.
"What's wrong? Didn't you read the search results? Why do you still look like that?"
Even after Jeremy showed the articles on pregnancy to Andrew, he was still frowning.
Jeremy found it hard to figure out what his friend was thinking.
"Can I give up this baby?"
Andrew asked, looking at Jeremy suddenly.
Jeremy was so shocked by Andrew's words that he didn't know how to react.
Then, he looked at Andrew in disbelief and said, "Do you know what you just said?
That's your child and my nephew or niece. How could you give it up just like that? Don't even dare say
that in front of Ashley."
Jeremy could tell that Ashley already loved the child in her womb so much and really cared for it.
But he didn't expect that Andrew would even think of giving it up.
It was just unthinkable if they gave up the baby.
Ashley was in the washroom for quite a while. After some time, she felt better. Then she washed her
mouth with water and came out.
As soon as she came out, she observed that Jeremy and Andrew were sitting very close to each other.
She guessed that they were discussing something serious.
Confused, she walked up to them and asked, "What are you both talking about?"
Jeremy quickly replied, "Nothing, Ashley. You came out so soon? How are you? Do you feel better
now?"
"I am okay now," said Ashley.
Andrew frowned and gazed at Ashley. "Did you have the same reaction when you were pregnant with
the twins?"
Ashley shook her head and walked to the window. She withdrew the curtain and opened the window,
so that the wind could blow in. She gazed outside, and felt the cold breeze blowing on her face.
Then she turned around and answered Andrew's question, "No. When I was pregnant with Fabio and
Dany, there were no such reactions in the first few months. Even before I was about to give birth, I just
had some light reactions.
The reactions were not as intense back then. The two babies were obedient in my belly at that time.
But this child..." With a gentle smile on her face, Ashley reached out and touched her belly.
"I don't know if it's because of the incidents of the previous night. This baby in my belly is too active and
naughty."
However, it turned out that she was already two months pregnant. She should have had such reactions
much earlier.
Maybe, it was because she was frightened and much too stressed by what happened last night.
Ashley stroked her belly gently.
After all, there was another life in her again.
"How much longer before it subsides?" Of course that was Andrew's biggest concern.
If Ashley had to vomit every day as she did just now, that might affect her health.
Ashley frowned hearing his question. She really didn't know how to answer that.
"I'm not sure exactly. Maybe I'll be all right after a period of time. After the baby gets bigger, everything
will be fine."
While they were discussing the baby's condition, someone knocked at the door.
All of them stopped talking at once. The whole room was quiet and all of them stared at the door.
When Ashley was about to open the door, Jeremy quickly walked to the door and said, "Ashley, sit
down. I'll get the door."
Ashley was rendered speechless by the gesture.
Andrew also said nothing.
When Jeremy opened the door, a person was standing outside. He was so charming that Jeremy
couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman.
At this moment, the man ignored Jeremy and tried to get a view of the inside of the room. He wasn't so
happy to see Jeremy at the door.
Carrying a little girl in his arms, he was looking into the direction of Ashley and Andrew.
The little girl along with him was Dany.
Jeremy looked at Cayn in confusion. Even though he knew him, he was truly confused to see him
there.
However, everything became clear the moment he saw Dany in Cayn's arms.
Dany looked at Jeremy with her big eyes and blinked.
Jeremy immediately found the little girl to be adorable.
"Come in,"
Jeremy said in a soft voice, looking at Dany.
She was so cute!
The little girl was his niece.
"Who is it?"
Ashley looked outside, confused.
"Mommy!"
Hearing her mommy's voice, Dany, who was in Cayn's arms, began to wiggle free from his
hold.
