Julia shook her hands repeatedly. "Don't worry about it! We're doing all this for Sonny. It's my job. Besides, I have a lot of nourishing recipes for pregnant women. If you're willing to learn, I can teach you."
"Oh? You have a lot of nourishing recipes?" Mary was surprised to hear that.
Julia chuckled in embarrassment. "Titus and I were not fit to have children initially, but we were eager to bear one. Hence, I consulted numerous medical professionals and tried numerous dietary supplements to improve my overall health in preparation for IVF. After giving birth to Sonny, my body condition declined, so Titus sought advice from many health experts. That's how I obtained all my recipes." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
"I see." Mary nodded, feeling pretty sentimental. She didn't expect Titus and his wife to endure so much trouble and sacrifice to give birth to Sonia. Apart from that, they are indeed good parents. "Sure. Please teach me if you come again next time," she added.
Julia was overjoyed to learn that Mary was giving her another opportunity to visit the hospital, even if she couldn't see Sonny. There is still a chance that I can see my daughter if I make the trip. "Thank you. Thank you so much, Mary." Clutching her phone tightly, she expressed her gratitude in excitement.
Mary shook her head. "It's no big deal, but I must remind you that Young Master Toby and Young Mistress Sonia have many enemies. Please be careful whenever you bring anything over. Don't allow anyone to tamper with the things you bring to prevent hurting Young Mistress Sonia."
Hearing Mary's reminder, Julia was initially stunned but quickly returned to her senses. "Got it. I will look out and never allow anyone to lay a finger on my daughter."
"Good. I'll hang up now. Please give me a call before you come next time." After saying that, Mary hung up.
When Julia placed her phone down, Titus asked, "What did she tell you? What's up about laying a finger on Sonny?"
Since it was about their daughter, she answered him truthfully.
After he heard that, a stern look was plastered on his sunken face. "I recall the Fullers have an archenemy, the Salzburg Family from Westsanshire. Recently, rumors about Homer Fuller's death back then were related to Connor Salzburg, the head of the Salzburg Family from Westsanshire. We don't know if it's true, but it is highly possible. Connor is still in Seafield, and I also heard that Toby made sure every exit of Seafield was blocked to trap Connor in here. Since he isn't allowing Connor to leave must mean that the rumors are true."
"In that case, Connor might attack our daughter to go against Toby. Am I right?" Julia felt her heart clench.
Titus nodded. "Correct. Toby is powerful, but Connor is alone here. There is no way he would confront Toby alone, so Connor will likely use other means to go against him. The only possibility, for now, is our daughter because she is Toby's lover. I can't rule out the possibility of Connor using our daughter to confront Toby."
"What should we do, then?" She became anxious upon hearing that. "If Mary already reminded me
beforehand, Toby must know that Connor had such plans. What is he doing? Shouldn't he attack Connor right away? Why does he permit such a threatening man to lurk about?"
Titus sighed. "It's not as simple as you think. Firstly, because of Norman Fuller, Toby won't attack Connor outrightly because it will greatly reduce the credit left by Norman. Secondly, although the Salzburg Family are not as powerful as the Fullers, they are not lacking too far behind. If Toby takes action against Connor, the Salzburg Family will lose their head and that will affect the companies under them. Many employees will lose their jobs, and worse comes to worst; some of their families might even be destroyed. The country won't allow something like that to happen." Then, he pointed toward the top.
Despite her lack of business knowledge, Julia was still aware of what the country would approve or disapprove of. Consequently, she couldn't help but sigh. "I see, but isn't it annoying that we must leave Connor out there?"
"I'm sure Toby has his plans, so don't worry. So, we must be careful and prevent causing even more trouble to Toby and Sonny," Titus reassured her.
She nodded in response. "That's the only way for now. From now on, I'll be extra cautious, so those with bad intentions won't hurt our daughter."
At that, he hummed and said, "Yes."
"I'm going to get pen and paper and write down all the healthy recipes I can make for Sonny. I'll be able to use it when I visit next time." While saying that, Julia felt her mood lighten again as she entered the study.
Influenced by her spirit, Titus smiled.
In the following days, Julia visited First World Hospital frequently. Almost every day at 9.00AM, she would arrive at the hospital on time. At first, she couldn't go up to the wards, so Mary would come down every day to greet her. After that, Sonia felt sorry for Mary because she had to go up and down the stairs, so she let Julia come to the ward.
In the meantime, Julia and Mary made broth for Sonia in the kitchen.
On the other hand, that day also marked the beginning of Sonia's third month of pregnancy. She stood before the mirror and lifted her shirt to look at her growing belly. My belly hasn't changed much, except for a slight rounding around my belly button. Unless I concentrate on looking for it, it isn't visible.
She read on the Internet that many pregnant women would have a protruding belly in the third month of their pregnancy, but hers was still pretty flat. If it wasn't clinically proven that she was pregnant, she would have thought she wasn't.
While thinking about that, Julia suddenly came over and asked urgently, "What are you doing, Sonny?"
"Huh?" Sonia turned around with a puzzled look.
Then, Julia hurriedly came up to her and pulled her shirt down. "What are you doing with your belly exposed? What if you catch a cold? You gotta be careful." While muttering, she straightened Sonia's clothes.
Sonia felt emotional watching Julia, who was nagging at her with a concerned expression. "I-I can do it myself." She gently pushed Julia away and straightened her clothes.
Julia was slightly disappointed when Sonia pushed her away, but she reminded her, "Sonny, don't expose your belly next time. What if you catch a cold? You're weak and pregnant. If you get sick, it will take a long time for you to recover."
Sonia merely listened without saying a word.
At that moment, Mary came out of the kitchen holding a pan. Watching the mother and daughter standing in front of the mirror, she inquired, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Mary. Sonny pulled her shirt up and looked at her own reflection. I worried she might catch a cold, so I made her wear her shirt properly." Julia went over and placed a potholder for Mary.
After placing the pot down, Mary looked at Sonia lying in bed. Then, she asked curiously, "Why did you lift your clothes earlier, Young Mistress Sonia?"
Sonia chuckled out of embarrassment. "I only want to see if there are any changes to my belly. I read online that pregnant women will see a visible change in their bellies, so I wanted to see mine, but nothing seems to have changed."
