Sissi did not raise her head and replied, "Hmm."
Patrick said without hesitation, "I'll help you to the bathroom."
Sissi shook her head frankly and hinted with her eyes that Amelia and Howard were looking at them.
However, Patrick had propped up his body with his hand and held his other hand out for Sissi, making a silent choice.
When Patrick held Sissi and the two of them got into the bathroom, Amelia's beautiful eyes were left with only an icy look and the warmth in her eyes disappeared.
Seeing this, Howard carefully comforted her, "Amelia, don't take it the wrong way. I think Patrick's concern was platonic."
Amelia felt that Howard's words were just too pale for comfort. But she knew his intentions was well.
In order not to provoke this kind-hearted old man, Amelia did not tell him about Sissi's pregnancy. She just nodded and said, "I understand."
Seeing that Amelia was so sensible, Howard sighed and solemnly promised, "Amelia, don't worry! I would definitely pry Sissi away from Patrick!"
Amelia smiled back trustingly, but in her heart, this was hopeless for her
Following the sound of flushing, Amelia quietly put her hand on her belly. Her gaze drifted towards the door of the toilet.
Over there, her husband was patting another woman's back and handing her water. He was asking his beloved about the situation of their child.
As for Amelia and her child... they had no one to depend on.
Amelia closed her eyes with pain. When she opened them again, Patrick had already accompanied Sissi back.
Sissi's face was a little pale, but nothing was out of the usual.
However, the undisguised worry in Patrick's eyes made it easy for people to associate Sissi with an incurable disease.
Howard was a kind-hearted man but at this time, he really hoped that Sissi would have a terminal illness so that she could leave Patrick.
Howard could not help but ask, "Madam Sissi, why are you vomiting?"
Sissi and Patrick looked at each other and saw Patrick nodding slightly.
Sissi turned to Howard and gave him a weak but a very happy smile. "Uncle Howard, it's just a physiological reaction. Please don't worry."
Hearing this, Howard was disappointed at first, but then he suddenly raised his head and looked at her in shock. "What, what did you say!?" He asked dumbfounded.
Sissi half leaned into Patrick's arms, her face full of the happiness of motherhood. "To tell you the truth... I'm pregnant."
Sure enough!
Amelia's curled fingers pierced her palms. Although Brittany had told her over the phone, it was still not as shocking as hearing it with her own ears!
Patrick's gaze immediately landed on Amelia's face. He caught the pain and despair on her face. He knew that she had misunderstood!
However, he had to keep this lie of Sissi's. Otherwise, Howard would definitely use unusual methods to deal with her!
After hearing the news, Howard could not help asking, "Whose baby is that?"
Although it was impolite to ask, normal people would think that the baby in Sissi's belly was her current husband's. But when Sissi and Patrick stood side by side, anyone would have asked, "To whom does this baby belong to?"
