Hanson was so frightened that his face turned pale. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kelly wake up.

"Kelly, the doctor said you almost lost the baby," Hanson said with lingering fear.

Kelly smiled weakly. "Still pretty tenacious."

Looking down at her belly, Kelly felt a wave of loss.

She had insisted on having this child with Zev not just because of her plan but also to make up for the regret of not having him by her side during her previous pregnancy. But this time, was she going to miss out again?

"Kelly." Melody knocked on the door.

Kelly propped herself up on her arms and sat up. "Melody, why are you here?" Melody tried to maintain a composed look. She carried a thermal food container and kept her head down, avoiding Kelly's gaze,

She was afraid Kelly would see that she had been crying.

Kelly felt bad but still asked softly, "Melody, what happened?"

Melody shook her head without saying a word. Instead, she opened the insulated food jar and took out a warm, freshly baked oat and almond muffin. "Hannah sent this over. The ingredients are very nutritious. She said it's good for women trying to conceive. Since you're pregnant now, you should eat some to nourish yourself." Kelly nodded. "Thank you."

Melody sighed. "Hannah has her opinions about me, but when it comes to having a baby, she's more anxious than I am."

Kelly chuckled, picked up a muffin, and took a bite. But after chewing for a moment, she didn't swallow.

Frowning slightly, she took a tissue and spat the piece out.

Melody was surprised. "What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

Kelly shook her head. Was she overthinking it?

"Melody, did Hannah give these muffins to you? When did she start doing that?” Kelly asked.

"Since that year you went to the Oasisvale and I was pregnant. She said it would help me keep the baby. The muffin is made with oats, almonds, and a blend of nutrient-rich ingredients that are great for women, especially during pregnancy." Melody shrugged helplessly. Unfortunately, I lost the baby anyway. But after that, Hannah kept sending them daily. I got sick of them and threw most away. She sent them again today, so I thought I'd bring them
