Chapter 323: A Confrontation With The Brother-in-law
A look of unspeakable shock coloured Kiev’s face. His grip on the maid’s hand tightened as a sharp pain stabbed his heart upon learning that his soulmate was pregnant with somebody else’s child.
Surprised by Eva’s statement, Elis, realising she was still holding the Mederian prince’s hand, instinctively pulled back, attempting to release herself, but Kiev held it firmly, refusing to let go.
"Is this... true?" the Mederian Prince turned to the maid as he asked, his words laced with disbelief.
"No! I’m not pregnant!" Elis quickly denied it.
"Mother, there must be some mistake. You can’t possibly think she’s pregnant just because she vomited. Many conditions could cause the same symptom," Rafe interjected, trying to reason with Eva.
"But she mentioned craving nuts last night in my room. I saw how she eagerly consumed them, and I’m sure she’s pregnant! She might not know it since this is her first time!" Eva insisted with conviction.
"I did mention that... but it was only a joke! There’s no way I could be pregnant!" Elis exclaimed, attempting to clarify the situation and alleviate the growing tension in the room.
As the maid emphasised her words, Kiev felt a wave of relief wash over him. He began to believe that this was all just a misunderstanding.
"How can you be so sure you are not? You have all the symptoms. Pale complexion, lack and change of appetite, easily getting tired, vomiting, and even cravings! Tell me, when did you have your last menstrual cycle?" Eva inquired, her tone filled with curiosity.
Elis blinked, taken aback by the direct question.
"My... my menstrual cycle?"
