The next day, Zoey sent someone to bring Viola to Silverstone Estate. However, Viola replied that she wasn’t feeling well and would return on another date. She was plotting how to discuss the divorce with Barrett, and didn’t want her family to know just yet.

However, Barrett had been on night duty lately. He slept during the day, which left them with little time to talk. It wouldn’t do to bring up the divorce out of the blue without any preparation–there had to be some sort of commotion first.

Since Viola’s visit to Richspire Peak, she had felt utterly exhausted. There were two days when she slept through the afternoon, not waking even when Barrett returned from his shift. It was only when Poppy nudged her awake for dinner that she finally stirred.

Fatigue, drowsiness, and a slight sense of nausea plagued Viola. On top of that, her monthly cycle was delayed by several days. With all the facts combined, she couldn’t shake the worry that she might be pregnant:

Calculating the dates in her mind, she recalled how Barrett had spent nearly every night at Grace Mansion during what had been the most romantic phase of their marriage. Panic set in as she fervently hoped she wasn’t pregnant.

She didn’t dare call for a physician to come to her, so she donned a veil and headed to a physician’s office with Poppy to get checked.

At the physician’s office, an elderly physician with silver hair smiled and said, “Congratulations, my lady. You are indeed pregnant.”

Viola felt her blood run cold. Even though she had suspected for days, the confirmation left her reeling. How could she be so unlucky? Why did it have to happen now?

If she had become pregnant before Thomas returned, she wouldn’t have entertained any other thoughts. But now that she had opened up to Thomas, her feelings were uncontainable. If she had become the wife of a third–rank major general and gained a title of nobility, it would have fulfilled all her aspirations in this life.
