The Heiress They Couldn't Break (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 690

"But that shouldn't be possible. I've been feeling great lately. My energy's good, everything's normal, my cycle's been on time, and ovulation looked good too."

With Nydia pressing her so anxiously, Amelia blinked, then smiled. "Sorry, did my expression scare you?"

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with you. You're pregnant! That was why it took longer to check your pulse. Congratulations."

Even Amelia hadn't expected this result.

She'd originally assumed Nydia would need at least another round of treatment before trying again.

She hadn't thought the good news would come so quickly.

Nydia went completely still, like she'd just been struck by lightning, her mind blank in an instant.

She stared at Amelia, lips trembling, unable to get a single word out.

It took her a long moment to find her voice, and when she did, it shook with disbelief. "W-What did you say? I'm… pregnant?"

Pregnant? I'm pregnant?

The news was too sudden, too overwhelming, for her to process.

"I-I really am … pregnant?"

Her voice quivered, thick with uncertainty, but her eyes had already reddened, tears spilling down without warning.

"Yes. You're pregnant. A hundred percent." Amelia smiled, genuinely happy for her.

She knew how long Nydia had been hoping for this child. There was no way she would ever joke about something like this.

That was exactly why she had taken so long checking her pulse just now, why her expression had seemed so serious.

She had wanted to confirm it again and again before daring to say it out loud.

If she'd made a mistake and given her false hope, that would have been far crueler.

"This is wonderful. It's really wonderful! I've been waiting for this little life for more than ten years!"

The overwhelming joy hit her like a tidal wave, nearly dizzying her, tears pouring freely now.

But this time, they were tears of happiness.

She had waited for this child for so long—so long that she had almost convinced herself she would never become a mother.

She had actually been pregnant once before.

Back then, she and Greg had been focused on building their careers, thinking they would enjoy a few more years together before having a child.

"It really is an unforgettable gift," Amelia said with a smile. "But you're only a little over a month along. You have to be careful. The first three months are especially fragile."

Amelia could feel how precious this joy was, and it made her happy too.

People always say emotions affect those around you, and in that moment, it felt absolutely true.

Still, she had to remind her seriously about precautions.

While Amelia wasn't an obstetrician and didn't know every detailed guideline, she did understand the general care needed during pregnancy.

"Yes, yes, I know. I'm thinking I'll just stay in bed starting tomorrow until everything's stable."

Just talking about it made Nydia even more nervous.

"That's not necessary," Amelia said with a soft laugh. "You still need moderate activity during pregnancy. Just be extra careful."

After all, she was considered advanced maternal age, which meant a higher chance of complications compared to younger mothers.

But that didn't mean problems were guaranteed; everything still depended on the individual.

"Okay, I understand." Nydia nodded, then asked hesitantly, "Amelia … I really am pregnant, right? I don't feel anything at all. No nausea, no sleepiness. I feel fantastic—like I could run a marathon."

"That's normal. It's probably because it's still early. And not every pregnant woman experiences strong symptoms."
