Chapter 991: Is Tina Pregnant? "I'll go get the medicine," Alina said. Jared couldn't suppress the smile tugging at his lips as he listened.

Tina, puzzled, turned her gaze to her mother. "Mom, what are you and Uncle hinting at? I'm fine. What medicine are you talking about?"

Looking at her daughter, Alina was both exasperated and pained. "Are you serious? Where did all the medical knowledge I taught you go?"

Tina was speechless. She knew her body well-how could there be any problem she hadn't noticed?

Seeing Tina's confusion, Alina sighed and gave her a hint. "Hasn't your period been late this month?"

Tina froze. Her right hand instinctively moved to her left wrist, her fingertips quickly checking her pulse. The rhythm was smooth, with faint bubbles gently moving through her veins. Subtle, but unmistakably a slippery pulse.

Tina was stunned. She was pregnant? And she hadn't even realized it herself.

Alina, seeing her reaction, spoke with a mix of helplessness and amusement. "Irregular routines, too much... activity. I know you're young, but at this stage, you should take it easy. Be mindful for the next three months."

Tina opened her mouth, but no rebuttal came. It was true. Newlyweds, she and Uncle had indeed been... indulgent. Thinking back, it must have happened on her parents' wedding night.

Suddenly, it all made sense-Uncle's dramatic reaction at the hospital when he saw the test results. Even she hadn't considered it could happen now, at such a critical time.

Alina, seeing her daughter's dazed expression, couldn't help but scoff. "What, are you scared? Or is it the thought of a life suddenly growing inside you that feels surreal?" When Alina first learned she was pregnant, she had felt the same. At the time, she had been on a mission, laser-focused on defeating her enemies. The thought that, even in the heat of battle, her body was nurturing a tiny life-a child with the person she loved most-was overwhelming. A mix of shock and joy had nearly brought her to tears.

Hearing her mother's words, Tina realized that Alina was projecting her own feelings onto her. She wanted to laugh but felt it wasn't appropriate, so she sighed instead. "Mom, I'm not you. I'm married. Do you think I'd lack basic knowledge about this?" This was her and Uncle's child. Whether early or late, it was a gift from above. She had mentally prepared herself for this possibility long ago-just not so soon. After all, she and Uncle had just gotten married, and they hadn't even had enough time to fully enjoy their two-person world.
