Chapter 1009: Brandon, Where Do You Plan to Hold the Wedding with Aunt Angela?

When he heard the word "honeymoon," Ruud's eyes lit up. He had been dreaming of spending some alone time with his wife for a long time. But as he thought about his daughter's recent pregnancy, he hesitated. Balancing both sides, he still couldn't rest easy. "The honeymoon can wait. Our daughter's health is more important."

Alina rolled her eyes. "Don't you know your own daughter by now? She's as strong as an ox. What are you even worried about?"

Ruud froze. "Then why are you giving her medicine?"

Alina faltered. She had let something slip. Her gaze flickered briefly before she replied, "I just wanted to make sure the young couple takes precautions. You know, the first three months of pregnancy are always unstable..."

"Wife!" Ruud quickly pulled her into his arms, his face full of concern.

Alina sighed, knowing she had no choice but to explain. "Tina was poisoned. The medicine was to neutralize the toxins."

"Poisoned?"

Ruud's expression darkened, and his entire demeanor radiated a chilling aura.

Alina had expected this reaction. She gently patted him on the arm. "Don't worry. The poison was mild and didn't pose much of a threat to her. My main concern was its potential effect on the baby. However..."

Her eyes narrowed coldly as she continued, "The person who poisoned her likely didn't know Tina was pregnant. The toxin doesn't target the body directly but instead focuses on controlling the mind."

Ruud took a deep breath, his fists clenching and unclenching as he looked sadly at Alina, who had carried the burden silently. "Why didn't you tell me?"

Alina glanced up at him, her answer evident. The years he had missed out on being a father left him trying too hard now, when he should have learned to let go.
