235 An ill Omen

Shivers tickled Selina's spine - an ill omen struck her instincts. She turned around briskly, only to find the rest of the hallway empty. A frown arched on her lips, revealing her conflicted emotions.

"What's wrong?" Jason noticed the change in her mood. She was smiling joyfully while joking around and now, she was suddenly quiet. He followed her line of sight where she was squinting at and found nothing there.

"I swear I felt someone watching us just now." Her eyes wandered left and right, yet no traces of anyone's presence could be detected.

"But there's nobody there. Are you sure you're not tired from running around the whole day? You got up so early this morning and ran around from the supermarket to the hospital. Just now, you almost left a bag of supplies at the store." He was the one who helped her grab the leftover items.

"Hmm, maybe. Oh, well. Let's go look for Kyla. Hopefully, they've made up now. Maybe I was too excited to be a godmother and aunt. After all, who would've thought they'll get pregnant this quick?" Selina couldn't help but smile blissfully at the thought of seeing newborns in several more months. Once again, she cupped her cheeks and let the bags of groceries slide down her arm as she squealed.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking about? You're so excited that even the staff at the store earlier thought you were the one who was pregnant." He hooked his index finger and gently bopped the tip of her nose.

"I'm just very happy for them!!! I can't wait for their babies to be born. I'll have so much fun with them!!" Selina nearly danced out of exhilaration for the additional family members in the near future.

Jason chuckled, extended his arm, and pulled her by her waist. Leaning toward her ear, he whispered. "Then should we start trying harder?"

She blushed upon hearing his provocative words. Reaching for his waist, she gave him a light pinch. She tilted her head innocently, letting her ponytail sway to the side of her shoulder. "How many days do you wish to keep me in bed again?"

"Haha, wifey. I always only ask for one time, but someone else keeps asking for more. I'm only satisfying my wife's hunger. How does that count as me keeping you in bed?" He held her naughty hand on his waist and intertwined their fingers.

"Tsk. Well, then. If that's the case, then you better try harder. We've been doing it on my safe days. So.." She rotated her body to face his and brought one of his hands to her lower abdomen. "If we want a baby, we better start working out on dangerous days."

Her crescent moon-shaped eyes matched her childish smile. She appeared too sweet for him to resist. Impulsively, he bent forward and stole a soft kiss from her glossy lips. He whispered, "Very well. Then, your husband, I shall try my hardest."

"Ahem! If Mister and Mrs. Hui would like to reserve a VIP room for personal matters, the register counter is down the hall to the right." Bryan had one hand covering Celinda's eyes and another arm around her waist. His actions were light and cautious as if applying the slightest pressure would hurt the little life inside of her.

"Hahaha, why are you covering Celinda's eyes for?" Selina saw her brother in protective mode. Letting out a quick laugh, her eyes showered in joy.

"To prevent my baby from seeing things my baby shouldn't see yet. Please keep it PG-13. My wife and baby are here. They're too innocent for this." Bryan jokingly teased the couple in front of him.

Jason hugged Selina in his embrace. Planting a kiss on her forehead, he smirked and reminded Bryan how he got Celinda knocked up in the first place. "Then Mister Gu, would you like to explain how you ended up getting my sister, your fiancée, pregnant? I'm sure it started with a kiss too. Besides, your baby isn't even old enough to hear us yet. So protective."

Swiftly, Bryan moved his hands from Celinda's eyes to her ears. "Shhhh! My baby doesn't need to learn about sex education yet. Wait until Selina gets pregnant! You'll be more protective than me!" The two men stared at each other while throwing words back and forth. Meanwhile, Celinda and Selina shook their heads in unison and laughed out loud at their other half's childish behavior.

After some time, both couples forgot their original goal of coming to this floor. They stood outside Kyla's room, too emerged in their silly conversation and comebacks.

The white door between the two pairs creaked opened and Isaac's head peeked out. "You guys really continued talking outside the room. We could hear you in here! Geez, did you guys forget about Kyla and me?"

"Oh, right! We came here for you guys!" Selina and Celinda smacked their fist against their palm. Isaac shook his head when he saw their instant reaction. He opened the door wide and let them enter the room.

Once all of them were inside, Selina helped organize the items Kyla asked her to purchase. From daily necessities to certain items she wanted to buy, Selina reviewed everything with Isaac. Since Kyla's health was weak, she needed someone to assist her wherever she went.

Therefore, Selina told Issac where everything was placed in case Kyla needs it later. Instead of bothering Kyla with minor things, it would be easier to have him learn where everything was located.

"Kyla, how are you feeling?" Celinda worriedly observed Kyla's tired expression in bed. Her lips looked light pink, opposite of the regular rosiness.

"I'm a little tired from vomiting. I just finished making a few trips to the toilet." Kyla answered with her eyes half-closed.

"Did the doctor say anything else to you after you came into the room?" Selina looked at Kyla, then Isaac whose attention had been on his fiancée.

He nodded. "The doctor said that Kyla is malnourished. The symptoms she is suffering at the moment are all pregnancy signs. There's no need to be too worried over her morning sickness. However, her mood and diet must be closely observed. She shouldn't be triggered by anything in the meantime."
