"Have you taken your medicine? Are you still feeling nauseous or vomiting like yesterday?"A few days later, Veronica visited Deasy again. She looked worried, considering that Deasy had previously experienced severe nausea and vomiting, which had left her pale and weak.Veronica wanted to take her to the hospital, but Deasy kept refusing, claiming she was fine."I've taken my medicine, actually. The nausea still comes and goes. The vomiting has lessened."Veronica then took something out of the paper bag she had brought with her. It was a box of healthy food that she had intentionally bought for Deasy to eat."Well, how about trying to eat now? You haven't eaten, right?"Deasy shook her head."No, not yet. Honestly, I haven't had much of an appetite these past few days. The smell of food makes me nauseous. And if I can't bear it, I'll vomit right away.""Alright, try the food I brought. Maybe you'll like it."Veronica slowly opened the bento box she was holding. However, before it cou

At exactly ten o'clock at night, Lucas and Deasy finally arrived at their apartment. Entering the unit, Lucas carefully led Deasy to the bedroom.While Deasy changed into her sleepwear, Lucas decided to make warm milk before leaving.However, as he was about to enter the bedroom, the tall man was stunned. He could clearly see Deasy sitting on the room's sofa, massaging her back alternately.Earlier, during the consultation, Lucas had indeed heard Deasy complaining about frequent back and headache pain.Feeling sorry for Deasy, who had been tired and was still massaging her back, Lucas intended to help. He approached her while handing her a glass of milk and then sat right behind her."Is your back hurting a lot, Ms. Deasy?""Yes.""Let me help with the massage.""No need to bother," Deasy declined. "You don't have to trouble yourself. You should go home now. It's already ten o'clock. Besides, the pain will go away on its own by tomorrow, as the doctor said."Lucas didn't respond. He c

After the events of that night, when Lucas deliberately teased Deasy and left the game hanging, the man didn't apologize in the slightest. He didn't even appear once, let alone call or send a short message. It's been more than a week, and Lucas hasn't shown his prominent nose.You could say that Deasy was starting to feel lost. How Lucas used to visit, accompany, and even give her attention every morning and evening. He'd feed her and make sure she was full. And now? The man had disappeared from the scene.Even though every morning and evening, Deasy still received food deliveries, it wasn't delivered directly by Lucas as usual but through a courier or delivery service."Seriously, Lucas is so irresponsible. He promised to take care of things for nine months. How old is it now, a few weeks in, and he's already gone. Typical guy, they're all the same! Can they ever keep their promises?"In her office, while sitting and staring at her phone screen, Deasy could be heard grumbling. She wa

Deasy walked casually as she entered one of the coffee shops in Pacific Place. While carrying her laptop bag in her right hand, she continued to move toward Sean, who had been there with Veronicafor a while.Seeing Deasy acting differently than usual, Sean immediately grew suspicious. For some reason, he was quite sure that something was amiss with his long-time friend.That's why, when Deasy sat down, Sean quickly asked a question. He wanted to make sure, with genuine concern, what was really happening to Deasy."What's wrong, Des? You look kind of down. Are you sick? Or not feeling well?"Deasy nodded slowly. She took several deep breaths while massaging her forehead, which was pulsating with pain."I'll be honest, I'm really tired," she said softly. Occasionally, her eyes closed as if she was truly feeling something uncomfortable within herself."Tired?" Sean's eyebrows furrowed. He didn't quite understand what Deasy meant by that. "Tired of what? Is your workload piling up? Many d

That evening, after a heated argument with Veronicaand Sean, Deasy decided to head home right away. Along the way, she grumbled to herself. She was really irritated, once again becoming the subject of mockery by her two friends.Deasy thought to herself, it's so easy for her to be called longing for Lucas Orion. She admitted that for the past few days, she had indeed been searching, but, please underline, not because of missing him. She was just annoyed that the guy hadn't kept his promises.From the start, Lucas had insisted on getting married. Then he offered, asking for permission to take care of and provide for all of Deasy's needs during her pregnancy with his child.However, after Deasy had agreed and only a few weeks had passed, the bespectacled man had disappeared. Well, yes, Lucas still sent food to Deasy every day.But, he didn't fulfill his promise to serve and meet Deasy's other needs. Wait a minute. What did she mean by other needs? Needs related to pregnancy or maybe eve
