The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

"I'm off to get some remedies."

Hearing Sasha's words, Percival couldn't help but let out a chuckle that he tried in vain to suppress!

Vivienne then turned her puzzled gaze towards her mother, "Mom, what's this mysterious talk between you and Mr. Wolf all about? I'm fine, why the need for medicine?"

Sasha looked at her daughter, a mix of sympathy and exasperation in her eyes, "Have you forgotten all the medical knowledge I've taught you?"

Vivienne, "..."

Wasn't she well aware of her own body's condition?

Seeing Vivienne's expression, Sasha realized she hadn't considered that aspect at all and gave her a hint, "Haven't your cycles been off this month?"

Vivienne was taken aback.

Then, quickly placing her right fingertips on her left wrist, she felt her pulse. It was smooth, with tiny bubbles moving slowly through her veins - a subtle but unmistaken sign of a slippery pulse. Vivienne, "..."

Was she pregnant?

She hadn't noticed herself.

Seeing her reaction, Sasha spoke out somewhat helplessly, "Your irregular lifestyle and, well, your husband's enthusiasm, I understand you're young, but you should take it easy, especially during these first three months."

Vivienne found herself speechless.

The couple, newlywed, indeed had been indulgent.

Thinking back, it must have been that night, a month ago, during her parents' grand anniversary celebration.

No wonder Mr. Wolf had such a big reaction at the hospital; not even she had considered this possibility.

Nor had she thought she'd be expecting at such a crucial time.

As someone who's been through it all, Sasha couldn't help but snort, "Shocked, or is it the marvel of a new life inside you that's so bewildering?"

When she had found out about her own pregnancy, the reaction was similar.

On a mission, she couldn't believe that the body, which a second ago was focused on combat, was now harboring a tiny life, a beautiful result of her love.

The surprise and shock had almost brought her to tears.
