Chapter 222: It’s Time
On the day of the counting of votes, Marcella woke up early. Her due date was only three weeks away. She couldn’t sleep and she had to wake up for bathroom breaks often.
Not only that, she was kind of feeling bloated the previous day and her back was hurting too. She talked to Mary about it and Mary had a feeling that her labor pain might have started.

Bobby peeked his head out. "Do you need anything, Mrs. Crawford?" he asked sweetly. "Ginger helps with morning sickness. I have experience looking after my sister..."
