S3| 157. Moment of Celebration

Everyone stopped dancing. They glanced at the exit door. Only Frank made the way through the crowd. The others followed after they got their senses back. Seeing Ava wiping her mouth on the dirty floor, their eyes widened.

“What happened?” Frank approached Jeremy.

Jeremy took Ava to the nearest chair, handing her a handkerchief. “I don’t know. Ava said that her head was dizzy, then I gave her water. After drinking, she felt nauseous. Before she reached the toilet, she was already vomiting,” he explained later.

Suddenly, Louis gasped. “Did Ava drink poison? What water did she

drink earlier?”

“I don’t think Ava was poisoned, Louis. I got her a new glass. If the water in the dispenser was poisoned, the guests would have vomited too.” Jeremy pointed to the container where he had taken the water.

Secretly, Emily glanced at Eva. Her thin eyebrows furrowed. “I also think so. Eva is a good person now. She couldn’t have poisoned anyone. There are no bad people at this party, Louis.”

Eva nodded quickly. “Yes, I can’t possibly put poison in food or drink here. I also eat and drink!”

“Then if it’s not poison, what made her vomit?” Louis glanced at Ava. His hand gripped his chin, like a detective who was thinking hard.

“Where’s Wela?” Frank looked back.

“Here!” A hand shot up in the air.

While Wela checked on Ava, Barbara, who had just arrived, frowned at the messy floor. “Oh, gosh! Who threw up?”

The twins pointed at Ava in unison.

“Please don’t be angry, Auntie. Ava said she was nauseous and dizzy.”

“Yeah, she didn’t mean to ruin the party,” Louis nodded, reassuringly.

“No, no. I’m not angry. Just curious. So,” Barbara stood at Louis’ side, observing Ava more closely, “what’s making Ava nauseous and dizzy? Is she pregnant?”

Everyone immediately stared wide-eyed at Barbara.

“Pregnant? Is that possible?” Abigail said.

“But Uncle Jeremy and Ava aren’t married yet. How could Ava be pregnant?” Louis scratched his temple.

While the adults smiled in amusement, Emily replied, “That’s possible, Louis. Mommy gave birth to us before she married Daddy.”
