Chapter 1109 Feeling Nauseous
"Is your father's illness serious?" Cecilia asked with concern.
Noticing the worried look on Daryl's face, she felt anxious for him.
Daryl frowned slightly and replied, "He had a heart attack. He's still in the hospital, and I don't know the specifics."
Hearing this, Cecilia nodded.
For a moment, both of them were at a loss for words, unsure of what to say.
Cecilia felt that Daryl was looking at her strangely.
Thinking that Daryl was worried about his father, Cecilia tried to comfort him, "You don't need to worry too much. Maybe it's just a minor illness. When your father sees you, he might get better."
"Let's hope so." Daryl nodded.
Then Daryl said, "While I'm away, Douglas will stay here to manage everything. If you need anything, just contact Douglas."
Hearing Daryl's instructions, Cecilia nodded.
In Northstar City, it wasn't easy for Cecilia to contact Daryl directly, let alone now that he was going back home. Cecilia could foresee that during his time back home, he probably wouldn't be in touch with her.
"Okay, I understand." Cecilia nodded.
Noticing the peculiar look in his eyes, Cecilia lowered her head in a panic.
Suddenly, she saw a large hand reaching out.
Then, her face felt warm.
Daryl's hand touched her cheek, causing Cecilia's heart to tighten.
This gesture was something he only did during the two months they were dating. He hadn't done it in the past six months.
Cecilia felt that Daryl was acting very strangely.
Cecilia looked up in surprise and met Daryl's eyes.
At that moment, Daryl's eyes were at least gentle, and Cecilia could see it clearly.
But the next moment, Daryl awkwardly withdrew his hand, his eyes shifting elsewhere, and he cleared his throat. "I'm leaving."
With that, Daryl walked past Cecilia and headed towards the entrance.
At that moment, Cecilia felt as if he was just brushing past her.
The next moment, Cecilia quickly turned around, only to see Daryl's back quickly disappearing at the entrance.
Cecilia suddenly frowned, feeling a bad premonition, thinking maybe this was their farewell moment.
Because their contract was due to expire in just over two months, and with Daryl's father in the hospital and his condition unknown, Daryl's back home meant his return date was uncertain. It was common for an elderly person's illness to take a year or more to recover.
In other words, by the time Daryl returned, their financial relationship would likely be over.
The next moment, Cecilia ran out of the villa like a madwoman.
But standing outside the villa, Cecilia only saw the dust kicked up by the car and the silhouette of a car moving further away.
Staring at the dust in the air, Cecilia suddenly felt an inexplicable panic.
Although Cecilia thought about the contract ending every day.
Although Cecilia thought about the contract ending every day. But when it came time to actually part ways with Daryl, Cecilia felt reluctant.
"Ms. Thorne, Mr. Fields has already left," Seeing Cecilia's lost look, Freya kindly reminded her.
Cecilia nodded, then reluctantly returned to the villa.
After sitting on the couch in the living room for two hours, Cecilia knew the plane had taken off and Daryl had returned home.
For half a month, Cecilia received no news from Daryl.
At first, Cecilia felt relieved, but later her mood became increasingly low.
Several times, she wanted to call Douglas to ask about Daryl's family situation, but after much hesitation, she gave up.
Daryl's family matters had nothing to do with her, and knowing the situation would only add to her worries.
One evening, Cecilia ran into Violet, and the two bored individuals decided to have dinner together.
"The steak here is really good and reasonably priced," Violet said with a smile while eating.
"I've never been here before, but it looks nice," Cecilia said, looking at the steak with a smile.
"Try it, it's delicious," Violet said.
Cecilia nodded, then cut a small piece with her knife and was about to put it in her mouth with her fork.
At that moment, Cecilia suddenly smelled the black pepper on the meat and felt a wave of nausea.
She quickly covered her mouth and ran to the restroom.
Violet watched Cecilia's retreating figure in astonishment.
Cecilia leaned over the sink, feeling like she was going to vomit her guts out, feeling absolutely miserable.
Five minutes later, Cecilia returned to her seat.
"What's wrong?" Violet asked, looking at Cecilia.
"Maybe I ate something bad. My stomach hasn't been feeling well these days," Cecilia said, touching her abdomen.
"Have you been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit these past few days?" Violet asked, staring at Cecilia.
Cecilia replied nonchalantly, "Yes, I feel nauseous when I see meat. I don't think I can eat this steak. I'll just have the salad."
Hearing this, Violet frowned and asked, "Is your period normal?"
Upon hearing this, Cecilia thought for a moment, then frowned and looked up at Violet's eyes, which had a strange gleam, and she felt something was wrong.
"I can't remember exactly, but it should have been quite a while," Cecilia replied.
"You might be..." Violet's gaze suddenly fell on Cecilia's belly.
Following Violet's gaze, Cecilia looked down at her belly and immediately understood what Violet meant.
She thought, 'Could I be pregnant? No, that's impossible. I have been taking birth control pills. How could I be pregnant?'
Suddenly, she remembered that a few days ago, Daryl had come back in the middle of the night and had sex with her.
That time, she didn't have a chance to go to the bathroom to take the pill, and she thought she was in her safe period, so she didn't pay attention. Could it be that she accidentally got pregnant at that time?
Without considering the possibility of pregnancy, she attributed her recent moodiness to hormonal imbalances, which led to a delayed period and changes in her appetite.
"No way," Cecilia immediately said to Violet, but the tension in her eyes was evident to Violet.
At this moment, Violet smiled. "Why are you so nervous? What's wrong with being pregnant? You and Daryl have such a good relationship. I heard Daryl's family is very well-off. Anyway, you're about to get your degree. You can get married right away. Wouldn't that be a double blessing?"
