Chapter 889

Evadne was at a loss for words, staring blankly as the realization hit her. Jason, that rascal, what was he thinking acting so recklessly on purpose?

"Nydia, how did you find out?" Evadne finally managed to ask.

"After that night, I just haven't been feeling right, constantly tired and sluggish. I thought I was just run-down from not resting enough, so I didn't think much of it.

But recently, I started feeling nauseous in the mornings, and that's when I knew something was off. Two nights ago, I sneaked out to buy a pregnancy test, and I took it yesterday morning."

Although it should have been wonderful news, Evadne was filled with a sense of dread and guilt.

She had been so preoccupied with taking care of Marilla, doing everything she could to help, and Jason had been spinning like a top with his workload. They had both overlooked Nydia, who was paler, pushing herself to keep going.

Nydia was so young, barely prepared for the pressures of motherhood.

Her precious sister, living every day in anxiety, stress, and fear-just thinking about it broke Evadne's heart.

"Nydia. I'm so sorry, I should have noticed sooner. It's all my fault!"

Evadne embraced Nydia, her heart trembling. "You only found out yesterday. Jason and Myra don't know yet, do they?"

"I'm scared."

Nydia's slender shoulders shook as she sobbed, "We're not even engaged, and I'm pregnant with his child. I'm afraid of how mom and dad will react, how they'll treat Jason."

"My dear, you're worrying over nothing! You're carrying the Ashbourne family's first grandchild. Emeric will be over the moon, why would he be upset? Dad's been ill, and this news might just lift his spirits and help with his recovery!"
