The probability of it happening was very small, but once it happened, it was fatal to a pregnant woman.
Although Natalie's doctor kept telling her that it would not happen, she was still very worried about it.
Natalie was still scared of it.
She started to search for amniotic fluid embolism examples, but the more she looked at it, the more terrified she became.
She was wondering what she should do if something like that were to happen to her.
What would happen if she was going to die after she gave birth to her baby?
She feared for it every day and night, and a person's name slowly appeared in her mind.
It was Tobias.
She knew that she was a coward.
But she thought that if something like that were to happen, she hoped that the person beside her would be Tobias.
After all, he was her child's father.
Joshua sent Natalie dinner that night.
"Joshua." Natalie stopped him, who was about to leave the room.
Joshua stopped and turned back, "Miss Godfrey, what's the matter?"
Natalie looked at Joshua as though she had something to say, but she stopped on second thought.
"What's wrong, Miss Godfrey?" Joshua smiled.
His smile was comforting.
Natalie spoke, "Joshua, the person who has locked me up here is Tobias, isn't it?"
Natalie was almost absolutely sure that Tobias was the one who locked her up in that place.
But why did he lock her there?
After a long time, Natalie finally figured it out.
From the respectful attitude of everyone in the castle and how much they cared for her, it seemed that Tobias had no malice toward her.
Perhaps he was just worried that she would not get proper care when she was pregnant, so he came up with the idea.
After thinking about it, Natalie could say nothing.
She did not feel joy or disgust.
Only after researching about amniotic fluid embolism, did she suddenly have an urge to see Tobias.
She did not have any other thoughts, nor did she hope to make peace with him.
She only hoped that he could accompany her when she gave birth.
After all, it was such a scary thing.
"Miss Godfrey, have a good meal. I'll need to go downstairs first." Joshua used the trick to escape again.
Whenever Natalie asked any questions, Joshua would always play dumb.
"Joshua, you are not allowed to leave!" Natalie shouted immediately.
Joshua showed a bitter look on his face.
"Can you promise me one thing?" Natalie looked at Joshua with her clear eyes and said in a serious tone.
"Miss Godfrey, please say it."
Joshua thought that Natalie was going to ask him who had locked her up again.
But he did not expect Natalie not to talk about that.
She touched her stomach and asked, "Joshua, have you ever heard of amniotic fluid embolism?"
Joshua suddenly stopped breathing.
After a while, he said in a relaxing tone, "Miss Godfrey, of course I have heard of it."
"Then you must have heard that it is difficult to save one's life if they are caught in that situation."
"That generally only happens to pregnant women who are in the middle of giving birth and the probability of it happening is very small. There is no need for you to worry about it."
"But I'm really worried about it." Natalie looked at Joshua.
Joshua showed a helpless look.
He could understand her feelings.
It was true that pregnant women tend to overthink.
Furthermore, a person like Natalie, who was placed under house arrest and had nothing to do, would tend to spend so much time overthinking.
