But it seemed like she had never really experienced any of these things from start to finish. Her initial impressions weren’t wrong after all. An elegant and reserved man like Damon actually taking the initiative to pursue a woman? That was just unbelievable.
"Look at you, all giddy at the mention of Damon. Really..."
"Do you still feel unwell? Have some food first, I can call a doctor later."
"No need for a doctor, I feel much better now, I should be fine."
Elizabeth still wasn't at ease. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
After throwing up, she sat back at the table. Seeing the half-eaten sandwich in front of her, Chloe gritted her teeth, her mouth filling with a sour taste. Eating felt like a punishment.
Suddenly, half an orange appeared in front of her. Chloe slowly reached out and took it, glancing at Rose. "You still need to have your breakfast. Eat an orange. It might help."
Chloe nodded and put the orange in her mouth. She felt much better, took a bite of the sandwich, and found it acceptable.
There weren't many people left at the table. Rose moved closer to Chloe, propping up her chin and staring at her. This was strange.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Chloe frowned at Rose.
Rose leaned in and whispered, "How are you feeling now?"
"I'm okay."
"Are you sick? Caught a cold yesterday and didn't sleep well?"
Chloe took a couple of sips of soup. "I slept alright. What are you getting at?"
Rose shook her head. "It seems like your sickness isn't serious. Medicine can have side effects, if you can bear it, try to avoid taking it. It's not good for the liver."
Chloe carried on with her breakfast.
"I'm warning you, are you listening?!" Rose suddenly thumped Chloe on the shoulder.
"I heard you, I heard you. I know it's not serious, and I don't plan on taking medicine!"
"What kind of friend are you, discouraging me from taking medicine when I'm sick."
Rose rolled her eyes. "Bear with it if you can, it'll boost your immunity!"
Even though Rose was suspicious that Chloe was pregnant, but if she wasn't, Chloe would feel disappointed on this happy day.
Guess she had to observe a bit more then. With a rub of her hand, Rose glanced at Chloe's belly. Her future daughter-in-law!

On the way to the Harper family, Wendy was already soaked in sweat. She felt pain and itchiness, but there was nothing she could do. Halfway there, Wendy began to cry. At first, she was crying while walking, then she just sat down and started bawling.
"Mum, when have I ever experienced such a thing? My wounds heal and then break open again. Anyone would want to bully me! Why do I, as the lady of the Alonso family, have to endure this?!
"What is Damon thinking? What was all my previous effort for? What am I suffering for now?! Hasn't he ever thought about it?!
