John nodded. “Just tell me. There’s nothing which can’t be said between us.”

Despite that, she blinked blankly at him, unsure of how to bring up the topic as he stared at her, feeling as though he knew what was coming up next.

Lowering his eyes to her belly, he asked, “Previously when you were feeling unwell, it wasn’t because of gastric, was it?”

“Yeah,” she answered with a guilty conscience. “It wasn’t because of gastric.”

As he stared at her, she lost the guts to look at him, and he breathed deeply. “Did your menstrual stop for a long time?”
