Chapter 56: Are You Pregnant?
"Mother?" Annalise found her mother sitting beside her on the bed when she finally opened her eyes after coming out of her slumber.
Her head ached slightly as she tried to move and a hiss escaped her lips immediately.
"Here, let me help you." Her mother and Sera were immediately there to help her and with a little bit of effort, she finally managed to move into a sitting position.
"How are you feeling now?" Her mother asked, worry clearly evident on her face.
Annalise shook her head slightly but immediately regretted the action as pain shot across her temples. The ’I’m fine’ that she was initially going to say in reply got changed into - "definitely suffering from a headache, but it’s not that severe."
Her mother turned to look at Sera as she spoke, "Go and get a glass of warm milk for your lady."
Sera left immediately, leaving Annalise and her mother alone in the room. "Now can you tell me exactly what happened? The Lords suddenly rushed here in panic and didn’t allow any of us to enter. Only now did they allow me to meet you." Her mother was definitely worried sick about her.
Annalise let out a small sigh as she took hold of her mother’s hands before speaking, "It’s nothing serious, mother. I was on my way back after showing Lord Damian the way to this room, but I suddenly felt dizzy and ended up losing consciousness. Other than this little headache, I’m feeling almost fine."
Her mother looked at her with suspicion-filled eyes for a few moments before she finally spoke, "Annalise, honey... are you pregnant...?"
