"Miss Andrea Burton, please collect your ultrasound image at the fourth counter," At the moment, the
speaker in the ultrasonography department announced. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Andrea turned to Heather and smiled sweetly, "Heather, can you help me to get the ultrasound image?
I haven't seen Arianna for a long time, and I want to catch up with her."
Heather glanced at me with a smile before replying, "Sure, no problem!" Then, she went to collect the
ultrasound image.
However, Andrea and I had nothing to talk about. I remained seated in the chair, and I cast her an
indifferent look.
Andrea wasn't bothered by my aloofness and went ahead to take the seat beside me. Her eyes fell on
my belly, and her smile was a little suggestive. "You're going to give birth soon, aren't you? I guess
Hendrix won't bring you to my birthday party then."
I lifted my brows at the mention of an event I had never heard of.
"Go straight to the point," I said in a rather cold tone.
We had nothing much in common to talk about. If Andrea wanted to talk to me, she was most probably
hitting around the bushes, and it was about Hendrix.
Andrea wasn't surprised to see my reaction. She only smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry? You
should be more friendly to me. After all, we're old friends. And, who knows, our children might turn out
to be siblings."
"Andrea, what do you mean?" Hearing that, my heart sank.
She only giggled and said nothing else.
Heather, on the other hand, returned happily with an ultrasound image in her hand. She handed the
sheet to Andrea and said, "Miss Moore, I heard that you're going to be engaged. I didn't expect you to
be pregnant so soon! Congratulations!"
My heart sank even more. Andrea was pregnant!
Andrea beamed and took the sheet from Heather. After thanking her, Andrea turned to me and said,
"Let's talk another day. I can't wait to tell my fiance about this!" With that, she left me and Heather.
Looking at Andrea's overjoyed figure, I glanced sideways at Heather and asked, "Is she really
pregnant?"
Heather answered with a loving smile, "She's only two weeks pregnant. But from the looks of it, Miss
Moore found herself a good partner in life."
Nodding absent-mindedly, I kept thinking of Andrea's words. "Our children might turn out to be
siblings," she said.
After getting into the taxi we hailed, I stared at the scenery out of the car window in a daze. After a long
time, I shifted my gaze to Heather, and I asked, "Heather, have you known Andrea for a long time?"
Heather was startled at my question, and she only answered after some time, "If you're referring to
Miss Moore, I only know her after she returned to the Moore family. I used to take care of Master
Moore, and I stayed in the family after he passed away. Since there are so many helpers in the Moore
family, Miss Moore recommended me to Mr. Roberts when she knew that he was looking for a
maidservant to take care of you here in Jarold City."
"Andrea recommended you to Hendrix?"
She smiled, "Yes. I thought only Mr. Roberts is friends with Miss Moore, but I didn't think you would
know Miss Moore too!"
After a pause, she added, "By the way, it's Miss Moore's birthday soon. This will be her first birthday
since she returned to the Moore family, so I heard that Mr. Moore is going to hold her birthday party
together with the family reunion dinner. I think it would be very grand. Mr. Roberts might bring you as a
plus-one."
I smiled faintly and shook my head. "I think I'll stay home since my due date is near."
Heather nodded in agreement. "That's true. The older generation said that bad things might happen
when two good things meet. Maybe you really shouldn't go since your belly is already so big. Oh, I just
remembered that you and Miss Moore share the same birthday, so Mr. Roberts might not go to Miss
Moore's party anyway."
If she didn't mention it, I would have forgotten the fact that Andrea and I had the same birthday.
I smiled and said, "Everything is still too soon to tell."
Heather didn't reply to that. After a pause, I couldn't help asking, "You said that Andrea is going to be
engaged, right? Do you know who she'll be engaged to?"
She shook her head and replied, "No, I don't. I only overheard it, and I didn't ask around for the details.
It's best if we keep our noses out of these high-status families' affairs."
