?<strong>Chapter 1355:</strong>


    Crouching in front of her, Andrew gently took her hand in his.


    “Madisyn, you mean everything to me, and this is our first time weing a little life into the world. Having a professional team means we’ll have someone to turn to whenever we have questions. Pregnancy isn’t just your journey—it’s ours. You’re carrying our baby, and I want to make sure you’re both safe,fortable, and well taken care of. Everything you know about pregnancyes from other people’s experiences, but now it’s happening to you. I just want to be prepared for anything. Okay?”


    Madisyn was touched by his thoughtfulness.


    She stopped pushing back and nodded. “Okay, we’ll do it your way, Andrew.”


    “Good. Just rest and leave everything to me.” Andrew stroked her hair gently before calling someone to arrange for the care team.


    When ine heard that Madisyn was pregnant, she rushed over to see her. Though Madisyn was happy to see her, herplexion wasn’t great.


    Having been through it herself, ine instantly recognized what was happening the moment sheid eyes on Madisyn.


    Without hesitation, she walked over and gently took her hand.


    “Andrew said you weren’t feeling well and asked me toe keep youpany. I figured it was morning sickness. Look at you—you’ve lost weight.”


    ine’s eyes were full of concern and heartache. Not wanting her to worry, Madisyn wrapped her arms around her in a warm hug. “Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry.”


    But when mealtime came, the sight of the food on the table immediately made Madisyn’s stomach turn. She barely had a second to react before she rushed away and threw up.


    ine’s heart clenched, and she hurried to pat Madisyn’s back, helping her breathe through it.


    She nced at the food on the table—it was in,pletely unseasoned. If even that made Madisyn sick, what on earth was she supposed to eat?


    Andrew watched as Madisyn struggled with her symptoms, and an ache settled deep in his chest. He suddenly regretted not learning more about pregnancy before they decided to have a baby.


    He moved to Madisyn’s side, his heart clenching at the sight of her reddened eyes, clouded with difort. The ache he felt for her was far worse than if he had been the one suffering.


    Gently, he ced his hand over her belly.


    “Baby, your mom is already going through so much. Be good to her, okay?”


    Andrew waspletely at a loss, utterly helpless in the face of Madisyn’s suffering.


    He rarely, if ever, sounded this lost. Yet now, he found himself pleading with an unborn child—one who couldn’t hear or understand him.


    ine sighed at the sight of him, then had someone clear the table, deciding to wait until Madisyn felt better before offering her something else to eat.


    But to everyone’s surprise, after Andrew spoke, Madisyn’s nausea seemed to ease a little.


    She took a sip of water, then, ten minutester, looked at ine and Andrew.


    “Mom, Andrew, I don’t feel so bad anymore. I think I want to eat something.”


    ine’s face lit up.
