Chapter 178 Pregnant?
Giorgio’s demeanor was unusual, a rare sight for Katherine, especially considering the significance of her “Mrs. Vittorio” identity that she had longed for. Hew heart raced like mad and the medical cardiac instruments, showed the high heartbeat.
Rizzo, who keeps an eye on the disease, rushed in quickly: "What's the situation? I'll check it right away."
He made some observation and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all right, it seems that as you said, Mr. Vittorio’s presence caused her mood swings and caused her heart to beat too fast, which is, on the whole, a good thing."
Giorgio, however, showed no change in his demeanor as he looked at Katherine, his eyes filled with a lingering emotion. Rizzo quieted down and only then noticed the man sitting by the bed.
He was extremely handsome. That kind of beauty is imposing, yet suffocating. Just one glance is enough to make a girl fall for him.
Is this Giorgio? Antonio's opponent? He couldn’t help but be a bit worried for Antonio.
In the backyard, the sunshine bathed everything in warmth. The servants are busy with their work, excited and joyful:
"Have you just seen Mr. Vittorio? So handsome!"
“Yes! No matter how many times I see him, I am always thrilled!”
"Come on, Mr. Vittorio is our miss's husband. Mr. Vittorio, don't think too much."
Moreover, Giorgio was known to be reserved in private and his relationships with men and women were anything but straightforward. It's only his appearance that confuses women.
They should really see his true nature.
Among the flowers, Anna lay down, basking in the sunlight, her little face radiating a glow.
She wore a simple, pure white dress, like an elf, innocent and agile.
"Hey, did you hear? Miss just almost woke up," a sudden voice attracts everyone's attention.
“What happened?”
"Is it true?"
Anna also frowns, listening attentively.
They hear the maid say, "Wasn't Mr. Vittorio in the room with the miss? After a while, the miss's electrocardiogram suddenly had a problem. It scared Rizzo, who quickly ran over. Guess what happened?"
"What happened?"
"After Rizzo examined her, he said her heart rate accelerated and her emotions fluctuated!"
“Ahaha, there are actually such tricks!”
"Could Mr. Vittorio have kissed the miss?"
"Perhaps they did even more intimate actions?"
One by one, these ambiguous speculations circulated, making the listeners blush.
Anna's expression darkened.
This scumbag, making moves on an unconscious patient, so desperate?
But they are a married couple, it's normal to have intimate exchanges. Why is she complaining? Why does her heart feel bitter and swollen?
Taking a deep breath, she suppresses the oppressing feeling in her heart and closed her eyes to sleep. The sunshine is warm and gentle, and the air is filled with the light fragrance of flowers and plants.
After a while, drowsiness overtook her, and she began to drift off to sleep.
.
"Hi, wake up."
A voice pulled her from her slumber. Anna opens her eyes in a daze and sees Judy, saying, "What's wrong?"
"It’s lunchtime. Mr. and Mrs. Stefanelli want you to join them."
Although Anna wasn’t particularly interested in eating, she knew that the nourishing soup would be beneficial for her. She rubs her eyes, sits up, and suddenly remembers something, asking, "Has Mr. Vittorio left?"
Judy shakes her head, "No, Mrs. Stefanelli made a lot of dishes that Mr. Vittorio likes, so they want you to come. Pay attention to etiquette."
Anna sighed, I'm not hungry. I'll eat later and go back to sleep."
"Don’t be difficult, Anna. Mrs. Stefanelli specifically asked for you to come. Don't make it difficult for me." Judy said pulling Anna along.
Anna is very responsible every time she receives instructions from Mrs. Stefanelli. Annoyed, she can only go, but her heart is filled with complex emotions. Since leaving the villa that day, it has been eight days, and she thought she would never see Giorgio again, but now she has to meet him, and she doesn't know how to face it.
"Anna is here, come over, everyone is waiting for you," Carla's voice sounded as Anna's thoughts drifted.
Anna lifted her gaze and saw everyone seated at the luxurious European-style long table. Giorgio, dressed in elegant black attire, even just sitting there, resembled the most captivating painting of high society, radiating aura.
Meeting him under these circumstances made her nervous, uneasy, and awkward. She shifted her gaze, lowered her head, and sat next to Rizzo.
Rizzo handed her the spoon and instructed, "You don't look too good, drink more soup today."
Carla chimed in, “Yes, you need to be strong for donating blood to Katherine, drink more to nurture your health. Besides, you're so thin, if Simon sees you, he'll say we're bullying you."
Anna remained silent, smiling, quietly drinking the nourishing soup in her bowl. It contained a series of precious medicinal herbs such as jujubes, goji berries, and ginseng. Anna usually forced herself to drink it, and today she intended to do the same.
However, just as she swallowed a spoonful, a wave of nausea hit her.
"Ugh!"
She suddenly vomited, startling those around her.
"What's wrong?"
"Miss Stefanelli, are you feeling unwell?"
Even Giorgio's noble gaze fell upon her, his eyes deep and probing as he observed her pale and uncomfortable face.
Carla, seeing her like this, suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, "Could you be pregnant?"
Pregnant!
The word was like a heavy bomb exploding in the air, causing everyone to turn pale with speculation.
Did Anna already become pregnant with Simon’s child?
Or during the time she spent acting as a couple with Giorgio in the villa, did they inadvertently succumb to temptation and she got pregnant?
And if she was indeed pregnant, would the child be Simon's or Giorgio's?
Giorgio's pupils fiercely contracted.
Pregnant? He remembered when Anna returned to the villa with him, he accidentally overheard that nothing happened between her and Simon, and she had been staying in his villa since then. Despite their recent intimate encounter, it couldn't have led to pregnancy so quickly, so...
Was it the night she left Vista Heights? His child?
The gazes of the crowd was almost suffocating, especially Giorgio's, which burned intensely.
Anna never expected Carla to jump to such a conclusion, let alone Giorgio staring at her so intently.
Of course, Katherine would soon regain consciousness, and his life would return to normal. If she really was pregnant and the child was his, it would bring him great trouble.
He also must have thought it was the night they left Vista Heights? His child?
That night in Vista Heights, she had been anxious and didn't take birth control pills, which led to the way she looked at her. It's a pity that she wasn't that shameless. She didn't want to have his child more than he did!
Anna touched her chest and took a sip of water, saying, "It's not pregnancy. I've been getting checked every day recently. If I were pregnant, Rizzo would have found out early on. Besides, it's been a long time since I saw Simon, so the timing doesn't match."
In one sentence, she explained that she wasn't pregnant and subtly mentioned Simon, implying that if there was a child, it would be Simon's, not Giorgio's.
She had no relationship with Giorgio whatsoever. The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. Thankfully, they never had a relationship. They were just overthinking it.
Giorgio used to be indifferent towards Katherine, how could he possibly favor Anna, who couldn't compare to Katherine in any way? It was Giorgio's gaze that gradually became darker and more restrained. How could he feel a hint of desolation in his heart when he knew she wasn't pregnant?
