Chapter: 562

"I'm fine."

If the doctor came, he would find out she was still pregnant.

Victor didn't notice the anxiety in her eyes, but he frowned when he saw how pale her face was.

Afraid that he might get suspicious, Rachel added, "I'm just a little seasick, that's all. What's more, I didn't have any appetite and I ate too fast just now. That's why I had to throw up."

"You're seasick, huh? I seem to recall how you used to go out at sea a lot. Not once have I heard that you became seasick."

“Well, um." Rachel pondered for a moment and continued, “It's because

I'm not in good health lately."

“In that case, I'll ask the doctor to examine you," Victor argued.

“Seriously, I'm fine. I don't need to see a doctor," Rachel insisted.

“I just need more rest."

Though Victor was still worried about her, he had to concede since she was the one insisting upon it.

"Fine. But if you still feel uncomfortable after resting, I'm calling the doctor."

Rachel nodded in response.

This time, Victor didn't make her finish the food in her plate anymore.

Not long after lunch, the president of the Chamber of Commerce called

Victor away. But before he left, he ordered the maid to pay special attention to Rachel and inform him if at any given moment she felt uncomfortable.

That night, the wind blew even stronger.

The cold breeze seeped into the room, and Rachel was feeling a little cold.

During the evening, Victor didn't come to have dinner with Rachel, but he asked Ivan to send her some food that she liked to her room.

Right now, Rachel still had no appetite, but she knew that it was important to eat some for the baby.

Thus, she forced herself to eat. The maid watched her eat and smiled with glee.

“Miss Bennet, would you like some more? I'm sure Mr. Sullivan will be happy to know that you're eating well tonight!" said the maid.

Rachel pressed down on her stomach to alleviate her discomfort, and put down her fork.

"I'm full," she said.

"Okay, ma'am." The maid wasn't stupid. She could see the tension between Rachel and Victor, and she knew that she shouldn't say anything about it.
