Chapter 1016: Was She Overthinking?

Marie finally nodded and waved at Nathan, standing nearby.

Nathan let out a sigh of relief and gave Tina a grateful glance.

Inside the house.

Marie carried the groceries into the kitchen, saying she wanted to heat something up.

Tina, not giving it much thought, hung up her coat and went to the living room to turn on the TV for Sophia.

Just as she sat down, a thought struck her. She got up and walked into the kitchen, only to see Marie calmly moving aside the herbal medicine that Uncle hadn't had the chance to pour out. She placed a new pot on the stove.

If she and Uncle hadn't left in a hurry, leaving the kitchen in such a state of disarray, she might have thought she was hallucinating.

Did she just miss it?

Impossible.

When Marie turned around and saw Tina standing behind her, she waved her off. "I'll handle this. Go sit in the living room. No need to come in here."

Tina hesitated, thinking of Uncle's reaction the last time he was stirred up. She knew she had to clarify things to prevent a repeat of what happened before.

"Mom, this medicine is for me."

Marie's hand froze, and the spoon she was holding clattered into the pot. She turned abruptly, her eyes wide as she stared at Tina. "It's for you? What's wrong with you? Did the doctor make a mistake?"

That was a lot to process at once.

Tina couldn't guess what Marie was thinking, so she decided to reassure her for now. "I've just had trouble eating lately. This medicine is just to help with my appetite."

It wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the full truth either.

She was well aware of how much the Farrell family valued her. If her pregnancy were revealed, she'd probably be confined to the house, and even if she went out, she'd be followed by countless people. It was better to follow Uncle's advice and wait a little longer before announcing it.

Hearing Tina's explanation, Marie nodded, completely dismissing any suspicions. "That makes sense. You're too thin, and with how busy you've been, your body won't hold up if you don't eat more. There's not much medicine left. Should I buy more for you?"

Tina's brow twitched hard. "No need. I'm fine now."

Marie, speaking from experience, advised, "These herbal medicines work slowly, but they're harmless to the body. Taking a few more doses to nourish yourself wouldn't hurt."
