Wanda returned quickly, holding several pregnancy tests in her hands.

"Sir, I bought different brands. We can try them all."

"Hmm," the electronic voice responded from outside the door, followed by a knock.

Hearing the sound, Aveline tensed up, but she knew she had to take the test-she needed to know for certain if she was pregnant.

She opened the door, and Wanda came in, guiding her toward the bathroom.

"You can leave now," Aveline said. She wasn't comfortable with anyone watching her.

Wanda nodded and stepped out.

Aveline carefully felt her way around the bathroom to make sure Wanda was truly gone before following the instructions Wanda had given her. But she quickly realized she couldn't manage it alone, so she called Wanda back in. Wanda used the tests for her, and they quietly waited for the results.

After five minutes, Wanda glanced at the tests and said, "Miss Young, you're pregnant."

Aveline smiled, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach. Beneath her flat skin, a tiny life was growing-a child connected to her by blood, her own family.

Her heart surged with both joy and heightened vigilance.
