Chapter 1516


    “Do you still get morning sickness, Ally? You’re three months along, right?” Old Mrs. York asked out of


    concern.


    Alice, who was sitting nearby, answered, “Yes, it’s been three months. I still get morning sickness about


    half an hour after eating. I only feel morefortable after vomiting. My mom said I might have to deal.


    with morning sickness until I give birth.”


    Although Alice had terrible morning sickness and felt awful every time she vomited, it did not stop her


    from loving the baby in her womb.


    She would be able to feel fetal movement after some time..


    When Alice hit three months, she went to the hospital for a checkup and ultrasound scan. She saw the


    doctor’s report. The doctor said her baby’s fetal movement was ideal.


    However, she could not feel the movements as they were still subtle.


    ording to books, fetal movements could be felt after sixteen weeks. As the fetus grew, the


    movements would be more detectable.


    Back then, Clive had wanted her to abort the child. However, upon getting the ultrasound report three


    monthster, he kept staring at it. Although he did not understand the report, he could not bear to let it


    go.


    Alice knew that Clive was looking forward to the child. He was simply worried sick about her morning.


    sickness that he desperately wanted her to get an abortion.


    Luckily, he did not suggest getting an abortion anymore after everyone’s persuasion.


    Whenever Clive saw her vomiting her guts out, he would be concerned about her while scolding the


    baby. in her womb.


    He would say, “I’ll spank your little butt after you’re out, little one. Look how much you’re torturing your


    mother.”


    Alice touched her belly.


    Grandma May said, “Nothing can be done about morning sickness. Some people do continue having it


    until they give birth. I remember Tania vomiting badly when she had Kevin. It carried on until she gave


    birth. She didn’t have morning sickness at all when she was pregnant with Zack and Peter. It only


    happened when she was pregnant with Kevin.


    “Tania even thought her third child would be a daughter because of the different reactions. However, it


    was still a son in the end.”


    Hearing those words, Alice smiled and said, “I guess I’ll be having morning sickness until my due date


    too.”


    “Being a mom isn’t easy.”


    Grandma May sighed.


    “You can’t let yourself go hungry even if you vomit, Ally I think you got thinner. Fetuses require


    increasingly more nutrients after they’re three months old. If you don’t eat, the baby will absorb


    nutrients from the mother’s body. You’ll get even skinnier.”


    Mrs. Stone chimed in, “Alice doesn’t vomit much if she takes soup. I’ve been asking her to have more


    soup every meal.”


    Alice said, “I’ll eat, Grandma May. I do vomit a lot, but I have a good appetite. I crave everything.”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Grandma May nodded. “That’s great.”


    A maid walked over and said to Mrs. Stone, “The food is served, madame.”


    Mrs. Stone nodded. The maid retreated.


    “Let’s have our meal first, Old Mrs. York.”


    Grandma May did not refuse. She said with a smile, “River and I will be getting a free meal here then.”


    Mr. and Mrs. Stone smiled. “You honor us by staying for a meal, Old Mrs. York.”


    “Don’t talk about honor. We’re rtives now and will interact with each other a lot. You two must have.


    lots of free time as you’re retired and staying home. Doe and visit us often. My sons and


    daughters–in w have also retired. They’re bored at home.


    “You’re peers and can get along with each other well. You may invite them whenever there are events.”


    Mrs. Stone nodded. “I’ll go over and y poker with them soon. Your three daughters–inw and I


    make. up a good number of yers.”


    Grandma May grinned. “I haven’t yed poker in a long time.“
