“Honey, what are you talking about? I have never said anything like that." said Steffan, trying his best to

sooth his wife.

"Our children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. I have to admit that I'm kind of unsatisfied

with Ophelia’s background. However, I never stand with outsiders to bully my daughter-in-law. I suggest

we just leave this matter to them. As for ourselves, how about going on a vacation abroad a few days?

When you're in a better mood, we can come back by then"

Helena was a woman rational enough to go easy on her husband, and chose to drop the argument.

After a few minutes of silence, it seemed that something occurred to her and pushed her to speak out,

"Steffan, Ophelia’s tummy is so protruding. I think she is pregnant rather than put on weight."

Upon hearing her remarks, Steffan stared at his wife in astonishment, his mouth wide open. Then he

asked, "Are you sure?"

"Who do you think I am? I am a mother of two children, and such a thing is so obvious to me! I bet she

is pregnant." Helena answered.

After the confirmation, Steffan said in a trembling voice, "God, if that is true, then we will have a

grandchild soon! We must take it seriously, and keep her safe!"

“And now things are totally different for you, right? I guess our daughter-in-law would be upset if she

knows you care for nothing but the baby in her tummy." Helena said.

Helena’s sharp words didn’t annoy or provoke Steffan. He just continually asked the same thing again

and again, "Are you sure about her pregnancy?"

"Well, I am quite sure about that. However, we have to call Mr. Kenelm over and ask him to check on

Ophelia. At least he is professional and reliable after serving us all these years." answered Helena.

"I will call Mr. Kenelm now."

"Hey! Don't rush. I need to talk to Ophelia first. If things are not as I expected, we will be laughed at by

others."

Helena stopped him for now.

Hearing that, Steffan urged, "OK, then let's do it your way. They have married for four years, and others

in our age are playing with their grandsons now."

"I know, I know. Just take it easy, and I will be right back." said Helena.

Then, Helena went upstairs to Ophelia’s room, knocked on the door, and heard her voice, “Come in!”

Steffan entered the room, and closed the door before walking toward her.

"Mom, what happened?”

I'm just wondering if you are feeling bored and would need some company." Helena answered.

Ophelia said with a smile, “Have a set, mum!”

Sitting beside Ophelia, Helena could help glancing at Ophelia's tummy out of the corner of her eyes,

and such an unnatural act puzzled Ophelia.

"What're you looking at, mom? Do I look weird?"

"Well, I'm just wondering if you are pregnant." Helena chose to hide no more of her intention and asked

Ophelia directly.

The question really stunned Ophelia, and thousands of excuse flooded into her mind at the moment:

She knew that the only way to avoid getting divorced with Zachariah was to tell everything to Helena,

and Helena would definitely do anything to keep such thing from happing. But that would only be a

temporary measure.

After the child was born, Zachariah would then choose to divorce her without any hesitation. By that

time, she would lose everything, her current life as well as her kid.

While the only thing she cared for now was the baby in her belly, for whom she could even choose to

give up anything else.

Though feeling sorry for lying to Helena, she still turned to her mother-in-law and said, "I understand

your feelings, mom. I thought the same at the beginning, but sadly the doctor told me that my

protruding tummy was only the outcome of my digestive disorder."

Though the words did have shocked her, Helena still held to her intuition and continued, "What if the

doctor was wrong? We can call Mr. Kenelm here and let him run a physical check on you. He is

absolutely professional and reliable."

"Mom, I know you always wish to have a grandchild, while the truth is that I'm really just putting on

weight. I'm so sorry, mom. For four years since I married Zachariah, I haven't been able to get pregnant

and bring you and dad a grandchild. If necessary, I will divorce Zachariah and leave the Chambers

family so that Zachariah can find someone else who is able do that for him and for the family."

Ophelia’s words caught Helena off-guard. She grabbed Ophelia’s hands in panic and said, "What're

you talking about, dear? Don't you ever say that again! I do feel a little disappointed to know that you're

not pregnant. However, if you say something without thinking carefully, you will hurt Zachariah’s feeling,

as well as mine."

Ophelia slowly bowed down her head, and choked out, "Mom, I'm just terribly sorry for everything. I

have been to the hospital alone, while the only answer I heard from the doctor is … I'm sorry, mom."

Tears fell off her eyes out of control. When she recalled what happened in the hospital, her heart

ached.

Seeing her crying, Helena could not help feeling heartache. She dabbed Ophelia's eyes with tissue

tenderly and said tenderly, "Oh, my dear, what did the doctor say to you? I'm here, and it's OK to tell

me everything."
