At the moment when Melinda's eyes fell on Jerry, Jonas smelt something wrong. With an excuse, he
wiped the corner of her mouth, and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong?"
What Melinda was doing now really scared Jonas.
It was not a good time to talk about this now. Melinda just smiled at Jonas, indicating that they could
talk about it later.
The dinner was a little boring. Looking at Melinda, Queena was worried. When they finished eating,
Queena said directly to Melinda, "Mellie, go out for a walk with me later."
The moment Melinda heard of going out for a walk, she thought of the horrible experience of this
period, and she began to fear. She resisted these things from the bottom of her heart.
Jonas noticed that there was something wrong with Melinda, and said to Queena, "You have to prepare
for going out. My wife is so beautiful, and she has to dress up a little ugly, so she can't be watched by
others."
As soon as he finished saying that, he pulled Melinda towards the bedroom of the two people, where
she told everything that had happened these days in detail to Jonas.
Feeling angry and pitiful, Jonas held Melinda in his arms and sighed helplessly.
"You should have told me these things earlier."
Jonas didn't expect that Emily would have the nerve to provoke Melinda after she almost died. Thinking
of that Melinda was angry with him because of Emily last time, Jonas felt that it was not worth it.
"I didn't think too much at that time. However, such thing would happen wherever I went these days.
Jon, are those people suffering because of me?"
Melinda felt sad for those people. Since she was kind and self-condemned, Jonas felt sorry for her.
"It's not your fault. These are just accidents. Our baby will be fine. Don't worry," comforted Jonas. In
fact, he was also scared.
If these methods were used on Melinda and the baby, Jonas thought he would really go crazy.
"How about Mommy?" Melinda asked anxiously. Queena had done enough. There was really no need
to bother her.
"Do you dare not go out?"
At this moment, Jonas finally understood why Melinda didn't dare to go out and why she was so afraid.
When he said this, it made him feel a little sorry.
"Yes."
In front of Jonas, Melinda didn't need to pretend, and she frankly acknowledged her fear.
"Don't be afraid, and don't be afraid of Emily, I will help you solve all these," said Jonas, telling Melinda
to wait for him in the room, and he was going to see Queena alone.
Seeing his intention, Melinda grabbed the corner of his clothes in a hurry, and frowned, making Jonas
want to put the best things in the world in front of her.
"Are you going to see Mommy now?"
Melinda asked. She was wearing a creamy white dress, which made her skin look fairer and her hair
look pitch black.
Her eyes looked so innocent that no one could help protecting her.
Jonas had no resistance to Melinda at all when she acted like this.
"Yes, we won't go for a walk tonight." Jonas nodded to show his agreement. Melinda tightly grasped the
hem of his coat and Jonas held her hand.
The man's palms were relatively broad, like his back. Every time Melinda leaned on it, she felt
especially relieved.
Her hand was as small and delicate as her body, fair and tender as if the line could cut open a wound.
"Don't tell mommy about it. She would worry about me but could do nothing," Melinda said to Jonas,
and he nodded again.
Since Jonas left, Melinda could only wait in the bedroom, although she was also curious about how
Jonas helped her to put off the after dinner activity.
"She has walked a lot of the way to the company with me, and she hasn't had an easy time recently. It's
a relaxing time tonight, so there's no need to go out," said Jonas, who was unlike him in speaking with
a glib tongue.
But he was Jonas. Queena just felt her son in front of her was possessed, but then thought that all this
seemed to be normal for the sake of Melinda.
"Why can't we take a walk? Besides, people say that it's good for health to go for a walk after dinner,"
Queena spoke out her theory, as if she had to go out with Melinda tonight, or she wouldn't give up.
Seeing this, Jonas felt a little bit guilty, but he still said with a serious expression, "There are so many
mosquitoes outside. My wife's skin is delicate and can't stand it."
"You mean my skin is rough?" Hearing this, Queena opened her eyes wide and looked at her son who
had desire of winning in front of his wife.
"Mommy, you know that's not what I meant." Seeing the childish behavior of his mother, Jonas was at a
loss what to do.
"Well, if she doesn't want to take a walk, then we won't go." Queena understood him and said, but she
felt a little strange in her heart. Melinda could handle it by just telling her such things. Why would she
let Jonas come now?
Jonas's words made her more confused. When she thought of Melinda's situation, a bad feeling came
up in her mind.
She had planned to ask Jonas what had happened to her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she
agreed, Jonas couldn't wait to go back and look for Melinda.
The next day, Queena prepared the mosquito proof thing for Melinda, and asked her out again, but she
was rejected again. However, Melinda had not gone out for the whole day, or in other words, she had
not left the bedroom except the time for meals.
People were starting to wonder if Melinda was staying at home. The situation eased a little after Jonas
came back home.
After comforting Melinda, Jonas was called to Queena's bedroom by Queena. She looked very serious.
Jonas walked cautiously. He did it not because he was afraid, but because he respected his mother.
"Mommy, what can I do for you?"
Jonas still felt a little embarrassed staying in Queena's bedroom,. If possible, the place he was more
willing to stand was the study.
"Jonas, do you feel that something is wrong with Mellie recently?"
Queena asked. She could see that, of course, Jonas, who slept next to her, must find it.
Hearing this, Jonas shook his head certainly after thinking for a while. His wife had said that he couldn't
tell his mother, so he had to hide it.
"I don't think it's a big deal." Jonas was lying. The situation was very bad, but he couldn't let his mother
worry about them.
In order to get along with his father, his mother had been too tired recently. It was not necessary to tell
her the things he could handle by himself.
"You boys are too careless. If you have time, please pay more attention to Mellie. It seems that she has
an antenatal depression,"
Queena said. It's always easy for pregnant women to think about these things.
Melinda had a heavy heart recently, as if she had been depressed.
Queena was very worried, especially when Jonas thought it was not a big deal, she was even more
worried.
Her depression was hard to tell. If she waited for too long, her condition would get worse. Then it would
be worse.
Seeing his mother so serious, Jonas could not help laughing. Maybe he was really careless in other
people's eyes, but he absolutely could not be more careful when it came to Melinda.
"Linda has been pregnant for only three months. She can't have this disease. Mommy, don't think too
much,"
Jonas answered. The reason why one suffered the antenatal depression was that she thought she was
not cared enough for. Everyone around her only cared about her children and she seemed to be a tool
for them to give birth.
Those pessimistic ideas, with her heavier body, made her feel very uncomfortable and easy to become
depressed.
Queena was very angry when she saw Jonas spoke in such a careless tone. "But what about Melinda?
How do you explain that?"
"It is early. It's easy to find that she is not depressed," said Jonas. It was actually easy to explain the
situation to her, but he couldn't.
"Whether she is suffering from depression or not, we will give her a check-up," Queena said alone,
thinking it was necessary to have a check-up on Melinda.
Every pregnant woman had to be checked up once they felt uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Jonas was scared by his mother's seriousness. He had come to ask her to forget it, but
why it seemed to be getting more and more serious.
"Mommy, don't make it worse. What if Linda get depression because of you?"
Jonas frowned and said helplessly. Linda had been frightened a lot in the past two days. It was harmful
to her spirit.
Queena thought it was reasonable, but still felt there was something wrong. Then she stubbornly said,
"This is for her good, and Linda will accept it."
Jonas couldn't persuade Queena, and he was almost persuaded by her. In the end, he returned to the
bedroom and wanted to say it to Melinda, so that she was at least prepared.
However, when he returned to the bedroom, he found that Melinda had already fallen asleep with his
pillow in her arms. The dark circles under her eyebrows made him feel that she hadn't had a good
sleep at all.
All his thousands of words turned into a touch of pity in his heart. Jonas felt a little guilty and powerless,
so he stood at the bedside and looked at Melinda blankly for a long time. Finally, he replaced the
position of a pillow, and fell asleep with his beloved wife in his arms.
The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast, Queena proposed directly to take Melinda to
the hospital, and her reaction was almost the same as she guessed.
Although she was a little scared, she agreed for the sake of the child.
