Chapter 199 - Chapter 199

((( CLAIRE )))

It was painstakingly robbing my energy.

I was teary-eyed and was sweating profusely.

"Calm down and relax," my new OB arrived.  

Her name's Liezel.

I breathed deeply and washed my mouth.

"Seems like your vomiting phase wasn't over yet," Sya remarked,

"It has gotten worse than before. Drink a lot of water so you stay hydrated."

I nodded.

"Go back there and eat up," she advised.

I stood still as I remembered the old men's faces.  

Did they lose appetite because of what I did?

"Don't tell me you're not gonna eat? It's bad for the baby, right doctor?"

Liezel agreed.  

"I'll just eat later," I said and started straight for my room. But when I reached the base of the staircase, my foot took me outside.

I was able to go out but not without the presence of Zhio's men. The two security kept their distance and I deemed it was just fine.

I could still enjoy the garden view and fresh air.

The mansion was breathtaking but nothing beats the outside.  

The backyard, which was the only part of the villa that I've seen so much of, was a beauty. Tall trees adorned the well-kept lawns and flowers of different variety hung at their crowns.  

While I walked through the unending patch of greens, I saw something in the distance. It looked like a house made of glass.

That must be the greenhouse the maids were talking about.

I wanted to come in but the men who were behind me forbid me to.

It must be an off-limit I guess.  

But why?

I continued walking until I, who thought nobody was around that foliaged area, was surprised to see an old man busily trimming the plants that crept on a trellis. He seemed to be the mansion's gardener.

"Good morning," I greeted him.

"Good morning too," he greeted back in confusion.

Of course, he didn't know me.

"I'm Claire. I'm just wandering around your big garden."

He lifted his gaze at me again and just nodded, until an old woman's voice caught both of our attention.

"Miss Claire," the woman called out. "So it's really you!"

"Simon," she looked at the gardener and pointed her hands at me, "She's Claire, Master Zhio's wife."

Before he turned back, the old man looked at me once more,

"Not a wonder why the young Zel Cantheliz liked you."

What did he mean?
