I had never intended to hide it from Monique. After taking a sip of warm water, I nodded in response.
She paused for a few seconds before staring at me. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to get a divorce. Then, I'll go to Andoland to take care of my baby." After all, that was my original plan.
She rolled her eyes at me and was at a loss for words. "Look at you, you keep throwing up these days and even I can sense that something's wrong. You always hang around Hendrix, do you think he's an idiot and will not notice it?"
Monique was right but I couldn't leave immediately. It was impossible for me to leave everything behind and walk away.
If I did not handle it properly, Hendrix would get suspicious.
After pondering for a while, I made a phone call to Josiah. A few seconds later, he picked up the call.
After the previous incident with Hendrix, I had learned my lesson and waited for Josiah to speak this time around. I asked, "Doctor Saunders, do you have any ways to stop me from throwing up?"
Monique leaned closer to me and whispered, "What's up with Doctor Saunders? Why would he help you?"
I did not answer her question. I quietly listened to Josiah's reply as he said, "I have medicine for that but there are side effects. I wouldn't recommend it. I'll ask Albert tomorrow and discuss with him what kind of food can help with morning sickness."
"Okay. Thank you, Doctor Saunders."
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the call, Monique looked at me curiously and asked, "Hey, is there anything between you and Doctor Saunders?"
I pushed her head away and walked towards my bedroom, chiding, "Go to sleep. Stop being so nosy!"
