"My belly hurts," I said suddenly, frowning slightly.
Sophina immediately said, "I'll call the doctor."
Before I could nod, Alex bent down and carried me up horizontally.
"We'll take another ward. It's too sickening here." His voice was neither loud nor soft, but everyone in the ward could hear him clearly.
I could smell a refreshing mint smell and unique wooden fragrance on him. My originally thumping heart seemed to smell this familiar smell and instantly calmed down.
Alex arranged a private ward for me. It's twice as big as Juliet's ward.
After the doctor examined me, he said that my emotions had fluctuated too much and I had contractions.
"Is the baby okay?" Alex asked in a low voice.
I looked at him quizzically, wondering if it was an act.
Was he afraid that I would expose him?
The doctor said, "The baby's fine for the time being. I'll give her a pregnancy stabilizer later. Ma'am, you should pay attention to your emotions. Don't be too agitated."
I nodded and the doctor walked out of the ward.
"Thank goodness you and the baby are fine, Laurel." Sophina's eyes were red.
I gently felt her slapped cheek. After a moment of silence, I said, "I failed to protect you well."
"It has nothing to do with you." Sophina asked in confusion, "Laurel, do you have a grudge against Fiona?"
I shook my head. I didn't have a grudge against her.
However, the one who disliked me was actually Juliet. She must have said a lot of bad things about me to Fiona.
However, she didn't mention anything about me marrying Alex.
In the past, she and I were not incompatible with each other. Most of our conflicts originated from Rosemary.
However, Rosemary and Juliet were not really good friends. In the end, Juliet only curried favor with Rosemary to secure her status in the Hill family. Every time she came to the Herrera family's place, she would definitely be inseparable from Rosemary.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were close friends.
However, I didn't expect Juliet to be so hostile to me.
Why? Was it because I helped Ivan and ruined her plans?
Or was the person behind Juliet giving her advice Fiona?
After thinking for a moment, my intuition told me that the person behind the scenes was definitely not Fiona.
Fiona was actually the same as Amanda. She was only able to make a scene and curse like a shrew. However, she was actually nothing to be afraid of.
If the two of them were really that mighty, Amanda would not have kept Rosemary, an illegitimate child, by her side.
At the end of the day, she was not ruthless enough.
Fiona was clearly self-interested. At least in her past experiences, everything she did had a purpose.
She would never do anything out of line.
She wouldn't go too far either. It was just like the time when she reported the official, the father of the man whom she was dating.
If she really wanted him doomed, she was capable enough to send the official to prison.
The reason why she did not do that was not because she was softhearted.
Instead, she would leave herself a way out so that the official's son would not take revenge on her.
They had each other's weaknesses and left a way out. This meant that Fiona did not want to get into trouble.
People who cherished their lives would naturally not do anything that would cost them their lives.
The reason why Fiona spoke rudely to me was because she thought that I was a pushover without a backer.
If she knew that I was Alex's wife, she might not have said such unbearable words even if she was fearless.
"Sophina, you can leave now." I glanced up at Sophina.
She tilted her head and glanced at Alex. Then, she nodded and gently closed the door as she walked out.
"What do you want to ask?" Alex raised his head and stared at me sharply.
He then asked, "Why are you so angry? You've never been angry before when you were bullied."
I was stunned for a moment, slowly raising my head and pressing my temples with my thumb. Then, I glanced at him. "I can live with getting humiliated, but I can't stand my baby being insulted."
I paused for a moment and frowned a bit before looking straight at Alex. "Because I was often called a bastard kid when I was young, I don't want my baby to suffer what I've suffered."
Alex was silent for a while before asking gently, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
I was slightly stunned. I didn't expect him to not ask about Austin and the abortion.
Since he didn't mention it, I naturally wouldn't say anything.
He did not even ask why I was called a bastard kid when I was young.
Presumably, he didn't want to know about my past. I had originally planned to find an opportunity to tell him about my father.
Seeing that he didn't seem to care, I supposed there was no need to tell him.
Also, he had missed the best opportunity today. As long as I returned to Nifelheim City, he would not have the chance to let me abort the baby.
I merely said, "I'm fine. We'll go back after the injection."
Actually, from the beginning to the end, I didn't feel much pain. Everything was actually just an act.
If I did not pretend to be in pain, how could I win Alex's pity?
I had to admit that Helena had clearly made use of his sore spot.
She knew that in Alex's eyes, the weak needed to be protected.
Perhaps he was willing to marry me because he saw me sitting on the plane and crying.
Was it that after being urged to get married by Lena, he suddenly felt like acting kind and married me?
"Stay in the ward. I'll go out for a while." Alex bent down slightly and leaned forward to stroke my hair. Then, he said gently, "Sleep for a while if you're tired."
I nodded slightly. When he turned around, I couldn't help but yawn.
I felt like he had used some kind of hypnotic spell on me. When I lay down, I was still thinking about Rosemary's death and who the ultimate beneficiary was. I didn't expect that halfway through my thoughts, my eyelids would droop uncontrollably.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by a call from Marvin.
At the same time, the nurse came over and gave me an injection of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.
After I confirmed that it was an injection of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, I allowed her to go on.
The nurse looked at me strangely when she left. Perhaps in her eyes, I was a persecuted fantasist.
"Laurel." When I heard Marvin call my name, I felt a chill down my spine. Under normal circumstances, he would not sound so tense.
I took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment before asking, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Marvin had always been straightforward and did not hesitate when he spoke.
He said, "Rosemary's killer turned himself in."
"Turned himself in?" I repeated what Marvin had said. That was because I didn't believe it.
Why would a person who had run away turn himself in at the police station?
Sophina immediately said, "I'll call the doctor."
Before I could nod, Alex bent down and carried me up horizontally.
