Chapter 1699 There Is Always A Solution

“That's good.” Caitlin felt relieved when she heard what Joyce said. “It's great to eat well. Otherwise, your body wouldn't be able to handle it, and it wouldn't be good for the child in your belly.”

“Yeah.” Joyce nodded.

Caitlin looked at her and said, “It's good you have a milder reaction now. Perhaps after some time, your reaction will disappear completely.”

“I asked the doctor and was told that I will feel much better after three months,” Joyce said as she sipped her chicken soup.

Caitlin smiled and nodded. “That's right, the first three months of pregnancy are the hardest for women. Once they pass the first trimester, everything will get better.”

“Yeah,” Joyce replied.

Quietly, Caitlin gently gazed at Joyce as the latter ate.

After Joyce finished her chicken soup, Caitlin stood up, took the bowl from her hands, and asked, “Do you want more?”

Joyce shook her head in response. “No, that's enough for me. I'll be too full for dinner later if I drink too much now,”

“Indeed,” Caitlin replied.

Then, Joyce looked at her and asked, “By the way, Mom, did you send the chicken soup to Mr. Quinn?”

As Caitlin tidied up the dishes, her smile faded slightly as she replied, “Of course I did. How can I not? No matter what, he ended up in the hospital because of us. You looked after him before this and provided him with meals. Even though you're not looking after him now, we still need to do what we should. I know this much, at least.” This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“That's good.” Caitlin felt relieved when she heard what Joyce said. “It's great to eat well. Otherwise, your body wouldn't be able to handle it, and it wouldn't be good for the child in your belly.”

Joyce raised her chin slightly and said, “I knew you're the most considerate person, Mom.”

Hearing that, Caitlin chuckled and poked her on the forehead. “You sure know how to flatter.”

Joyce covered her aching forehead and let out a playful chuckle.

At that moment, Caitlin suddenly thought of something. She put the clean dishes and utensils into the basket she had brought and looked at Joyce. Then, she asked solemnly, “By the way, Joyce, did something happen between you and him these past few days?”

Joyce's smile faltered, then she lowered her eyes and asked, “What do you mean, Mom?”

“Did you two have another argument?” Caitlin asked and continued, “Though I haven't visited you every single day, I've been here about three times. I've noticed that the atmosphere between you and him seems off.”

Joyce never expected her mom would notice the issues between her and Stanley. Biting her lower lip, she forced a smile as she replied, “Mom, I haven't seen him for a few days. How did you know that something's off between us?”

“You guys haven't met, but I went to see him, and I could feel it,” said Caitlin.

Joyce pinched her palm and stopped talking.

Oh, I see.

Caitlin stared at Joyce, who had her head down and could tell what Joyce was thinking. She sighed, “As I suspected, there's a problem between you two. Joyce, tell me, what exactly happened between you two? You know that he doesn't have positive feelings toward the Rivers family. I'm just afraid that in a fit of anger, he might...”

“Don't worry, Mom, he won't,” Joyce said as she lifted her head to face Caitlin.

She knew what her mom was going to say.

Unsurprisingly, she was worried about offending Stanley and that he would hurt the child in her belly and her dad again.

Caitlin frowned with concern. “How sure are you that he won't?”

Joyce's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. “He said so himself. Although he didn't say it outright, I know he won't.”

“Are you sure?” Caitlin furrowed her brows.

Joyce lightly pursed her lips and fell silent.

In fact, she didn't even know why she felt Stanley wouldn't do such a thing.

It was simply her Intuition.

Noticing Joyce's silence, Caitlin sighed. “Forget it. It doesn't matter whether he would or not. We shouldn't be afraid. There is always a solution to every problem.”

Joyce squeezed a smile and hummed in response.

Subsequently, she spoke again. “Oh right, Mom, I have good news to share.”

“Oh?” Caitlin asked curiously, “What is it?”

“Stanley will probably have to leave here for some time,” Joyce said with a smile.
