Isabel's words immediately caught Reggie's attention, and concern flickered across his face.

"Isa, if your stomach's upset, maybe you should lay off the fruit for now."

"Oh, okay," she replied casually, though her actions told a different story as she quietly popped an orange slice into her mouth. Reggie couldn't help but grin, shaking his head in amusement.

"Want me to warm it up for you?" he offered, still looking out for her.

"Thanks, Reg!" Isabel responded, grateful for his thoughtfulness.

As Reggie disappeared into the kitchen, Isabel quickly set her phone aside, pressing her fingers to her wrist to check her pulse.

She had to get to the bottom of what was happening inside her body.

Minutes ticked by, and as she realized something, her eyes grew wide in shock.

Her hand instinctively moved to her stomach.

It was true-Yvette's strange prediction had come true!

How could this happen? It was just that one time!

She had thought about handling things herself if she got pregnant-maybe just taking some medicine. But

now...

"There's three of them?!"

Just like Yvette had joked, triplets!

She couldn't possibly just make a selfish decision and end this pregnancy. It was already happening.

She blamed Yvette for this-the woman who always babbled about how she'd love for Isabel to get pregnant with triplets one day, so she could have someone to share her experience, Now, her joke came true.

As Isabel tried to process the news, her phone rang, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Her heart skipped when she saw Xander's name flashing on the screen. A wave of panic washed over her.

"H-hello? Is something wrong?"

Xander noticed that her tone seemed off, and his brow furrowed.

You sound anxious."
