Chapter 192

192 a Sign

One week went by so fast for Elena. The day of Christian’s return that drew near made Elena feel a little uneasy, for Elena Christian’s return to Luxembourg was a nightmare. A nightmare that she desperately wanted to throw away.

This morning, Elena who always wakes up earlier than the maids is again sitting alone in the garden when Romaria comes with a tray of breakfast and contraceptive pills that are never absent given to Elena like Christian’s message to Romaria before he left.

“Morning Miss.”

Elena who was staring at the flock of white koi fish under her feet turned to Romaria who was walking towards her.

“Morning...”

Romaria who almost reached where Elena was sitting almost dropped the tray in her hand when she saw how pale Elena’s face was this morning, the middle-aged woman immediately quickened her pace. After carefully placing the tray she was carrying on the table, Romaria then walked over to Elena.

“You are very cold, Miss,” said Romaria worriedly.

Elena smiled and lowered Romaria’s hand that was touching her cheek. “I’m fine, Romaria.”

“You are not well, miss,” said Romaria quickly. “I’ll call the doctor ..”

.....

“No, don’t call the doctor. I don’t want to get you in trouble like yesterday,” Elena refused firmly. “I’m not going to die, take it easy.”

“Don’t be like that, Miss!” Romaria gripped Elena’s shoulders tightly. “You will be fine, trust me. All the misunderstandings between you and young master will definitely be cleared soon.”

Elena smiled. “Even if all these misunderstandings are resolved well, things won’t be the same, Romaria...” Elena’s tears suddenly fell. “Not only have I lost a house to shelter from the heat and cold, I have also lost a home that will warm and soothe me. Even on their last day in the world I can’t see.”

Romaria’s tongue immediately went numb, the words that just came out of Elena completely made her speechless. Romaria who has lost both of her parents can feel Elena’s sadness at this time.

“Things are still not the same, Romaria.”

“Miss...”

“Ukhhh...” Elena who had been trying to stop herself from throwing up in front of Romaria finally let go, the nausea that had been tormenting her for the past few days she couldn’t hide from Romaria who was always trying to be near her.

Romaria’s face paled. “What are you doing, Miss?”

Elena who was still covering her mouth with one hand shook her head slowly. “I’m fine, I’m just a little...hmpp...”

Unable to take it anymore, Elena rushed into the villa to go to the bathroom on the first floor. Bertha and several other maids who saw Elena’s behavior couldn’t help but remain silent and didn’t dare to ask. Until Romaria finally came, they immediately approached her and asked what had happened to Elena. Romaria, who was still in shock, could only stay silent when her friends kept asking her questions about Elena, Romaria’s focus was still on the bathroom where Elena had just entered.

After almost ten minutes in the bathroom, Elena finally came out of the bathroom with almost all wet clothes and an increasingly pale face. Seeing that, Romaria and the other maids immediately moved. Simultaneously the women approached Elena who was still holding on to the bathroom door.

Realizing that Elena was not okay, Romaria immediately led Elena to sit on the sofa not far from the bathroom while Bertha immediately ran to the second floor to find a dry change of clothes for Elena.

“Miss...”

Elena who was looking down slowly raised her face to look at Romaria who looked so worried, being a mother of three grown children gave Romaria a lot of experience.

“Are you...”

Elena shook her head. “I don’t know.”

“How long has it been, Miss?” Romaria asked a more specific question.

“When Christian took me to see his family in Geneva almost four months ago, I just finished my period,” Elena replies so quietly, barely audibly. “And to this day, I haven’t gotten my period yet.”

Brak...

Clean towels and clothes as well as several bottles of Elena’s skin care equipment that Bertha brought fell from her hands when she heard Elena’s words and it was not only Bertha who was so shocked, the other maids were also so shocked. One of them even let out a small shriek before finally coming to her senses and immediately covering her mouth with one hand.

Even though Romaria didn’t tell her, Bertha and the other maids knew that for the past week Elena had been given birth control pills that Catherine had brought on Christian’s orders.

“Does that mean I’m pregnant, Romaria?” asked Elena quietly with an innocent look at Romaria who was sitting on her knees in front of her.

Romaria, who was trying not to cry, immediately lost control when Elena asked a question that sounded really pathetic, instantly the atmosphere in the room immediately felt so stifling. The four maids who were standing near Romaria also immediately supported each other with their heads down.

“We’ll have to do an examination to see what the results will be, Miss,” Romaria answered quietly as she wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks.

“Inspection?”

Romaria nodded slowly. “Yes, Miss. We have to do an examination first to get the results even without going to the doctor.”

“Using testpack you mean?” shoot Elena quickly.

“Yes, Miss.”

Elena lifted her head, looking at Bertha and the other maids. “Do you guys have testpacks?”

“Miss.” Romaria immediately spoke, trying to get Elena’s attention again. “I will look for the test kit for you to the pharmacy which is not far from this villa, but before that you have to change clothes first. You can get sick if you keep wearing wet clothes like this.”

“I can’t go to the pharmacy, can I?”

Jesus...

Elena again made Romaria’s mind hurt, her soul was torn apart hearing such a sad question.

Bertha who realized that Romaria was in a difficult situation immediately approached Elena to the sofa. “The pharmacy isn’t too far, Miss. And now you’d better change first, your clothes are already wet, Miss.”
