Chapter 228 - Reprimands, a Father’s Betrayal
While they were returning inside the house, Ghislaine seemed visibly ill‑tempered. Her steps were heavy, her eyes half‑closed, and her arms crossed beneath her breasts.
Next to her, Aisha watched the woman with a worried expression, until she sighed deeply.
"Ghislaine... you know your pregnancy is not ordinary. There are only three months left until the birth. We have to be cautious..."
Leo barked in approval. The Sacred Beast walked just behind the two, with his snout raised and his gaze attentive.
Ghislaine’s pregnancy had proceeded relatively normally until just over a month ago. But then complications began.
The child moved a lot inside the womb, kicked forcefully, and twisted frequently.
Even at only five months of gestation, the movements were intense enough to cause internal injuries in an ordinary woman and, under normal circumstances, could even lead to a miscarriage.
But Ghislaine was far from an ordinary woman. She was one of the most deadly warriors of the current era.
Despite the pain and discomfort, she endured with relative ease.
Still, the best thing was that Verdia was there to help. She had become much stronger in the last year; perhaps she was the one who had grown the most among Rygar’s wives.
She used Healing Magic to heal Ghislaine’s wounds and the crisis was more or less averted.
Less than five minutes later, Rygar appeared like lightning at the entrance of the house, claiming he had a bad feeling and returned at full speed.
