The couples, who were being lovey-dovey just a moment ago, were all stunned.
Thea got up quickly and rushed to the bathroom.
Harley got up and instinctively thought of going after her. However, when he saw that she had gone into the female bathroom, he couldn't do anything but stand in the same spot.
Eudora got up quickly and went after Thea.
Harley then took a look around the room, "You're showing off too much of your affection. You have pissed her off so much that she vomited."
Christopher was speechless.
Amos's eyes dimmed. It seemed that he had thought of something .
In the bathroom, Thea felt a little better after vomiting. Eudora handed her some purified water, "Here, rinse your mouth."
"Thank you," Thea took the cup.
Once color returned to her cheeks, Eudora looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Are you pregnant?"
Thea's face turned pale.
"I ...

"It's okay. It's fine if you don't want to talk about it," Eudora said. Pregnancy was not something to be ashamed of, but Thea was still unmarried after all. She could understand if Thea didn't want to talk about it.
However, Thea didn't have many friends. She had been holding this matter to herself for too long and she needed to have this burden lifted off her chest. Now that Eudora had brought it up, she nodded instantly, "Yes, it's been more than two months."
"Are ... " Eudora pursed her lips. "Are you planning to keep the child then?"
Since Thea trusted her so much and decided to confide in her, Eudora only wanted the best for her.
Thea nodded immediately, "Of course, I won't abandon my child."
Eudora knew her family's background, hence she wasn't surprised by her decision.
"What's wrong with Harley? You're pregnant yet he's still arguing with you. I'll talk to him!"
Eudora knew that Harley and Thea were once a couple, but they had suddenly broken up for some reason. To her, Thea had always been a conservative young lady, so she thought that it was Harley who had gotten her pregnant.
Thea's face became paler upon hearing Harley's name. She stopped Eudora, "No, don't tell him. It's not his ... "
Eudora was stunned and she didn't know what to say.
The two of them were silent for a while. Suddenly, Thea looked at Eudora's belly again, asking, "Is your child doing alright?" "All is good!" Eudora answered.
"What about you?"
"I ... " Thea smiled faintly, "I'm doing not too bad either. Could you promise me that you wouldn't tell anyone about this?"
Eudora pursed her lips and advised, "Okay! But I must say this, it's hard for a single woman to raise a child all on her own. It's not only hard on herself, but it will also have bad effects on the child's personality in the future. Look at my Juju, I think that she's too tough and domineering. Honestly, she's only a little girl. She should be acting like a spoiled kid at this age, but she's tougher than some grown-ups I know. That's because she didn't have a father when she was born."
Thea stroked her lower abdomen subconsciously and responded, "I know."
How could she not know? She was regarded as an illegitimate daughter herself. Her peers would mock her and bully her since she was young.
"Promise me that you would think this through. Don't hesitate to come to me if you need to speak to someone. After all, I did go through the same th.1ng ... II
"Thank you, Eudora!"
After that, they got up and went back to the room.
