Hendrix's eyes widened slightly. His pitch- black eyes fell on me for a moment before he began introducing the family to me briefly.
The man was the owner of this courtyard. His name was Albert Lance, the son of a prominent family in the medical field. As he had a passion for food and herbs, he helped to cultivate herbs in the courtyard.
The elegant and beautiful woman earlier was his wife, Sandra Miles, and that one-year-old child was his son.
After a simple greeting, I got a little nervous. It took me a lot of effort to hide my pregnancy from Hendrix. If Albert accidentally exposed it, what should I do?
I was a little worried. I couldn't help but look at Josiah, hoping that he would come up with a solution.
At that moment, Sandra walked in with the stew. She looked at me and said with a smile, "Mrs. Roberts, have a taste. I liked to drink this soup when I was pregnant. Although it tastes strange, my husband added some herbs that are nutritious. It's very good for your health. How long have you been pregnant?"
All of a sudden, I broke out in a cold sweat. I looked at her and replied with a smile, "Originally, it was 6 weeks old, but Hendrix and I weren't ready, therefore we didn't keep the baby."
Hearing what I said, she was stunned. She looked at me in surprise and said doubtfully, "You don't look like-" "Mrs. Lance, it's the symptoms of a pseudopregnancy, a typical side effect of terminating a pregnancy. It will disappear with time. I really admire you and your husband to be able to be so knowledgeable in medicine to the point that you could tell the state of the patient's body just by looking at them." Josiah, who was drinking tea, finally made a statement.
For a moment, Albert squinted but smiled instantly. He didn't say anything else, but Sandra seemed to suspect otherwise. However, she only smiled and chatted with me after a while.
After we finished the meal, Albert said something in his wife's ear. She looked at me, startled, before nodding and went out.
Albert looked at Hendrix and said, "It's rare for you to come over, hence I've prepared some medicine for Mrs. Roberts to help her with a speedy recovery. Take it back with you and take care of her. It's not difficult to have a child."
Hendrix nodded and looked at me with his dark eyes. There was no emotion in his eyes, thus I couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
