The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 10

This wasn’t just an upset stomach. It was morning sickness.

And if she was pregnant, she couldn’t take any stomach medicine.

Catherine rinsed her mouth quickly. She wanted to say she’d be fine, but as soon as she turned around, the smell of fish soup hit her again.

She bent over, dry heaving once more.

Fiona got up from the table and came over, gently rubbing Catherine’s back.

“Did you go too long without eating? Take your medicine and have some hot soup before you go,” she suggested.

“Here, drink some water.” Sophia brought over a glass of warm water and handed it to her.

Catherine took the glass, rinsed her mouth, then sipped the water, hoping it would settle her stomach.

“Sorry for interrupting your dinner,” she said quietly. “It’s just a cold. Not my stomach. I have medicine at home, really.”

Everyone at the table looked over. Belinda’s glare was impossible to miss.

Adelina walked to Lance and looped her arm through his, both of them watching Catherine.

Sophia spoke up, “Since when does a cold make you throw up? You’re all flushed and pale. Let Grandpa check you out, just to be safe.”

Ableson might not be the best doctor in the world, but if she was pregnant, he would definitely notice.

Catherine’s heart skipped a beat. She shook her head right away, her voice extra polite. “I couldn’t possibly trouble Grandpa again. I’m really okay, I promise.”

She didn’t want to ruin the James family’s dinner, especially with Adelina here.

Fiona understood how she felt.

But after two years of knowing Catherine, Fiona thought of her as family. No way would she let her leave while she was obviously unwell.

“Come on, let Grandpa check. Do it for me, okay?” Fiona pleaded softly.

Catherine gave Fiona a subtle shake of her head. Pregnant or not, she couldn’t risk stealing Adelina’s spotlight in this house.

Belinda couldn’t stay quiet any longer. She got up and marched over. “Are we ever going to eat with all this drama?”
