Chapter 343

Chapter 343

Half a month later, Joycelyn’s pregnancy had stabilized, and she was no longer receiving injections to protect the baby. Her health checks had returned to normal levels, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

For Joycelyn, it felt like she had made it through the first major hurdle. In high spirits, she went on a shopping spree for baby items, nearly turning the house into a mini shopping mall.

Today, Timothy had arranged for her to visit the Schultz family’s ancestral home to reconnect with her roots.

The Schultz family’s influence mostly lay abroad, but they still had an old family residence in the country. The visit would involve a ceremonial reestablishment of her family’s lineage, a change of surname, and a chance to pay respects to her grandparents, as well as her mother.

It was said that after Joycelyn’s grandfather lost her, he passed away in deep sorrow within a couple of years. Her mother, unable to bear the blow, also died in the same year. It was said that she kept calling Joycelyn’s name in her final moments, not even able to rest in peace.

Ellison walked beside her, quietly accompanying her.

They hadn’t replaced Septima’s name; instead, they had added it, keeping everything else unchanged.

Joycelyn gazed at her mother’s memorial plaque, feeling a heavy weight in her heart. Timothy had told her that her mother had died before reaching forty. How devastating must it have been for her to have fallen into depression?

“Mom, Joycelyn’s home now. You can rest in peace. I’m happy now, and I’m going to be a mother too,” Joycelyn said, gently caressing her mother’s name. The emotion in her eyes welled up, and tears began to fall, uncontrollable.

Ellison moved forward, pulling out a handkerchief and gently wiping her tears. He leaned down and softly coaxed her, “Don’t cry. You don’t want mom to be sad, do you? Who knows, you might end up giving birth to a little crybaby.”
