Chapter 2220
When Alice suddenly heard this, she was stunned and she raised her cutlery stiffly.
She forced out an unnatural smile and shook her head. "I don't like him anymore. I just went too far when I was young."
After she finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head and ate, not daring to look into Giada's beautiful eyes that were filled with anticipation.
Giada felt that Alice's expression was a little strange. When she heard that she didn't like Henrick anymore, she felt that it was a pity.
Given her mother's character, she would probably not accept a daughter-in-law from the entertainment industry.
Neither would her father.
Her mother preferred a virtuous and kind daughter-in-law. In her opinion, Alice was beautiful and a great candidate. She was very suitable to be with Henrick.
"Alice, it's a pity. It's my brother's fault. You're such a good girl. I really want you to be my second sister-in-law."
The corners of Alice's lips lifted. She raised her head and looked at the innocent-minded Giada in front of her. "Gia, there's no fate. You can't get what you want. If there's fate, we can naturally be together."
When she made things clear with Henrick, she found that there was no more resentment in her heart.
The only regret was that her two children had no father, which was something she would regret for the rest of her life.
Although Henrick had been spoiled, he wasn't hopeless. Despite this, they were not fated to be together.
"Gia, thank you. I'm going to go back after this TV series is completed." She would rarely come to River City in the following days.
"Alas!" Giada was still unwilling to give up. "Henrick is so stupid. If he really marries Alma, will there be a peaceful life in the family?"
Alma seemed to have a good character, but she was not kind-hearted. Giada was extremely dissatisfied with her second brother's love for that woman.
Alice looked at her and sighed. She couldn't help smiling and said, "Gia, let nature take its course."
"That's true." Giada smiled. "As for love, both parties need to be in love with each other."
"Yes!" Alice thought the same.
After that, the two of them chatted a lot. When Giada came back this time, she also bought gifts for Alice. The two of them enjoyed themselves. It was after 10 o'clock in the evening when Martin came over and they left the private room.
When they walked out of the restaurant, it was still very hot at night. When Giada saw Martin and was about to say goodbye to Alice, she suddenly blacked out and fell to the ground.
"Gia." Alice quickly helped her up.
However, she still slumped onto the ground.
Martin, who was standing not far away, narrowed his eyes and hurried over.
She squatted down and held Giada in her arms. "Gia, Gia," she cried out in an anxious voice. However, her friend did not respond.
In the car not far away, Henrick, who wanted to see Alice and his sister, saw Giada suddenly faint, so he didn't care too much. He got out of the car and ran towards his sister.
Martin had already picked up the unconscious Giada, and Alice hurried to open the door.
"Gia, what's wrong? Huh?" Seeing his sister's eyes closed, Henrick felt very distressed.
Wasn't she fine when she just came out?
Why did she faint?
Alice looked at Martin, whose eyes were red with anxiety.
She looked at Henrick and instructed, "Go and drive."
There was no way Martin could drive in his current state.
"Yes, yes." Henrick went straight to the driver's seat.
Alice opened the car door and Martin carried Giada into the car.
Henrick drove them to the nearest hospital.
"Gia, Gia..." Martin shouted a few more times anxiously, but Giada still did not respond.
Alice sat in the passenger seat and looked back at Kenneth worriedly. "Gia was fine when she ate..."
She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. "Could it be..."
She looked at Martin and blinked.
Martin looked at her with a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "Could it be what?"
Alice pointed at Gia and asked, "Could it be that she's pregnant?"
Martin was immediately lost for words.
Henrick was also struck speechless.
Alice remembered that when she was pregnant with them, she didn't know that she was pregnant. It was summer and the weather was too hot. After she fainted, she was sent to the hospital and it was there that she found out that she was pregnant.
Gia was fine just now, and she had been married to Martin for so long. It was very likely that she was pregnant.
Gia was usually in good health, so she couldn't have fainted for no reason.
Martin looked at her in a daze, and then he became excited and ecstatic. He looked down at his wife in his arms.
He was excited, nervous, and scared.
In short, he was still very worried about Gia before things were confirmed.
Henrick asked excitedly, "Could it be twins? My mother had triplets."
Alice was stunned. Their family didn't have twins, but after she became pregnant by Henrick, she found out that she was pregnant with twins.
She also knew about inherited genes. "That's possible."
"Is that so? Then am I going to be an uncle?" Henrick was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel.
Martin was not as excited as he was. He was very worried about the woman in his arms.
Alice looked sideways and looked at Henrick, who had a happy and excited smile on his face. She had mixed feelings. If he knew that he had been a father for a long time, would he smile like this?
Soon, they arrived at the hospital. Martin took Giada for an examination and paid the fees.
Henrick and Alice waited outside.
She sat on the bench while he leaned against the wall. Neither of them spoke.
The atmosphere was very awkward. In the busy corridor, the two still felt strange. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
They had told each other in the morning that they should try not to meet each other, but they met again that same evening.
Alice lowered her head, clasped her hands, and sat quietly, staring at the ground. No one knew what she was thinking.
She didn't care about Henrick, who was standing beside her.
She recalled the scene seven years ago when she fainted on the roadside and was taken away by an ambulance.
Seeing Martin holding Gia anxiously, she was very envious.
Every pregnant woman hoped that her lover would stay with her and share the joy of being a parent.
She only remembered that when she woke up, the doctor said that she was pregnant, and she was stunned.
On the night she ran out of the hotel, because she was too uncomfortable and in too much pain, she had forgotten about it. It was not until she passed out a month later that she found out that she was pregnant.
She blamed herself deeply. If the children lost their father, what would they do in the future? A father's presence was very important to the children's growth.
However, when she went for an examination, she heard the heartbeat of the babies. Beep, Beep, Beep... When the sound from the instrument reached her ears, she burst into tears.
She immediately decided to give birth to them without any hesitation.
Later, with the support of her parents, she became more determined. She believed that the children would have no father. As a mother, she could also give the children love and a better future.
