Chapter 22
After Nadia told Kathleen that she didn’t want to hear any more news about Matthew, Kathleen never mentioned him again. She didn’t even mention his name. Instead, Kathleen told Nadia that her proposal had passed the evaluation of Gloraxy Group and that she was now working on the contract.
Although anything could happen before the contract was finalized, Nadia was sincerely happy for Kathleen.
In the past few days, she had officially gone through the admission procedures and her life was slowly getting on the right track. She had also begun to slowly adapt to the life and culture in Meadoland. The only thing that she was not used to was that her pregnancy reactions were a little serious. She almost threw up everything she ate, which made her not–so–health body even weaker
Nadia had only realized how poor her health was after her last p
pregnancy
She did not know if it was because she was frozen at a young age. Back then, she was left freezing in the cold wilderness for a few days. Later, after Maddox had taken her back home, he had been working away from home all year round and did not have time to take care of her. His family was not very rich, and Layla did not teach or love her very much. In a time like that, scientific childcare was not yet as popular, so Layla never bothered to nurture Nadia back to health. She just made do with what she had and mised Nadia. If Nadia couldn’t make it, then so be it.
It was lucky that Nadia had a strong will to live. When she was still young, although she often fell all, she had never been taken to the hospital. It was only when she was seriously ill that Layla would take her to the small clinic for some medicine or antibiotics. Layla would stop caring about her as soon as Nadia recovered a litle Nadia had lived by getting sick repeatedly until now.
In the past. Nadia never paid much attention to nurturing her health, nor did she know much about her own body. She only knew that she often fell ill since she was a child. Her immunity was poor, and so was her stomach. She would have a stomachache every time she had something cold. However, Nadia never knew how poor her health really was. The first time she was pregnant, she experienced severe pregnancy reactions too, just like now. She threw up whatever she ate repeatedly. In the first month, she had lost so much weight to weigh only more than 154 pounds. At that time, being pregnant was extremely painful for her. Her body could not withstand the change in hormones brought about by her pregnancy at all.
It was the same now.
Looking at the food she had thrown up in the sink, Nadia sighed. She turned on the tap, cleaned the basin, and rubbed her empty stomach. Then, she sat back at the dining table, endured the discomfort, and went back to eating.
Her phone was placed at the dining table and she v
was still video chatting with Kathleek, While chatting. Nadia felt nauseous and ran into the bathroom to throw up.
Kathleen was already very anxious, Seeing that Nadia was back at the dining table, she asked her with concern, “How is it? Are you feeling better? Do you need to go to the hospital! Or should ask Darrell to come over to check on you!”
“No,” Nadia stopped her quickly. “After all, I’m not that close with him. Don’t disturb him all the time. I’m fine.
Although she and Darrell lived in the same building, they had their own lives to live. Since talking to him briefly the day Nadia moved in, Nadia had rarely contacted lam recently. They only greeted each other briefly when they met in the lobby downstairs. At most, they would go to class together if they were in the same class.
Nadia did not know why Darrell had chosen to return to school so many years after graduation. Furthermore, it was said that he had already achieved success in his career. Nadia only guessed that it was the choice he made at every stage of his life.
Kathleen nodded and said, “Okay Take good care of yourself. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately. Although it’s not good to bother Darrell too much, you should ask for help when you need it. Don’t push yourself too hard.
“Got it. I’m much better now,” After that, Nadia showed Kathleen the spoonful of cereal she had just scooped up and ate it in front of her. “I can still
This was much better than the first time she was which made her body weak.
pregnant. At that time, she kept throwing up and eating. She kept throwing up over and over again,
Nadia didn’t know if Matthew was worried because of her, but he was indeed a little nervous at that time. He had taken a long time off to stay at home with her. He had also hired a nutritionist and a chef to carefully prepare mutritious meals for her. Unfortunately, her stomach was too weak to absorb them.
Now th
that she had thrown up, Nadia could at least eat something.
Nadia felt that it was more or less thanks to Matthew taking good care of her in the past two years.
Although he was busy with work and didn’t have much time to stay at home, Matthew had always been concerned about her diet and daily life. He would check the nutrition diets designed by the nutritionist from time to time and go home suddenly to conduct spot checks to see if Nadia was cating the nutritionist’s diets strictly. Therefore, she had orver resented Matthew. Instead, she was grateful to him.
If it weren’t for the fact that there were too many problems with their respective families, which made Nadia feel oppressed and helpless in her marriage with Matthew, she wouldn’t mind continuing to live with hum like this.

Chapter 22
Although her life was not as well–off as before, Nadia didn’t have to worry about whether she had done enough or said anything wrong anymore. She didn’t have to wonder if what she did or said would embarrass Matthew. Nor did she have to worry if what she did or said would make Matthew misunderstand her. She didn’t have to care about others‘ feelings anymore. She could do whatever she wanted, living a free and comfortable life.
The only problem was her poor health.
Nadia pressed on her stomach unconsciously as it began to churn again.
Kathleen sensed that something was wrong with Nadia. “Do you want to throw up again?”
Nadia only had time to nod. “I’ll hang up first… Before she could finish her words, she had to rush into the bathroom to throw up again.
Once again, she threw up violently, which gave Nadia a sharp pain in her stomach and made her mouth go dry. She almost burst into tears from the discomfort.
By the time she recovered, it was already a long time later.
Nadia turned on the tap weakly and washed her face. Then, she picked up a glass of water and rinsed her mouth. Before she could spit out the water in her mouth, she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
Nadia’s hand, which was holding the cup, trembled. For s
some reason, she felt a little flustered. She didn’t know if it was because she had thrown up too hard just now or what, but she didn’t dare to delay. She pulled down her clothes and looked down. The faint color of blood on her pants made her mind go blank for a second, but she calmed down quickly, changed her clothes, took her phone, and took a taxi to the hospital.
Nadia lived very close to the hospital, so it only took her a few minutes to get there by taxi.
The doctor gave her a full–body examination. Fortunately, she was only bleeding slightly.

“Ms. Crosby, your body looks a little weak now, and you may have a miscarriage at any time. You must pay attention to your rest and diet when you get home. You must take in more nutrition and should stop carrying heavy things. In the consulting room, a kind–looking female doctor advised Nadia earnestly.
Nadia nodded hesitantly. “Okay”
When she left the hospital, it was already dusk.
There were not many pedestrians on the side of the road. The late autumn breeze blew over the fallen leaves, and the whole street looked sad and bleak.
Looking at the unfamiliar street, Nadia felt lost and hesitant again.
Nadia’s face was reflected in the shop window on the side of the road, and she looked a little haggard and weak.
Nadia didn’t know if this was just the beginning or if her body was adapting to her pregnancy.
If it went on like this, she wouldn’t be able to take care of both her studies and work at the same time. She was worried that she couldn’t keep the child in such a poor condition. Even if she was lucky enough to keep it, would she be unable to provide enough nutrition for the baby with her body in such poor health? Could she give the child a healthy body?
Nadia remembered the last time she was pregnant. Every abnormal test result made her tremble with fear. Pregnancy was a long process and every step depended on the survival of the fittest.
In fact, Nadia was afraid of facing every test result, as well as the choice she had to make because of it. Either way, it was a big gamble.
She had lost the bet last time. Nadia didn’t know if she should take the bet again
After letting out a long sigh, Nadia looked away. She put her hands into her pockets, wrapped herself more tightly in her coat, and walked forward slowly. She wanted to hail a taxi upfront. When she turned the corner of the road, she saw the sign “Cloraxy Hotel” in front of her accidentally. Nadia was stunned and looked up at the hotel subconsciously.
