    Chapter 333


    Herman took a whiff of himself and acknowledged the undeniable scent of medicine. He dared not


    speak the truth. Instead he said, “Nelson’s been on some herbal remedies recently. Perhaps the scent


    rubbed off on me. Have you chosen your dress yet?”


    Nelson was Herman’s assistant, so it was usible that he could have picked up the scent from being


    around him all day. Anastasia didn’t give it much thought. She responded, “Yes, we’ve picked this


    lavender ombré dress. Pattie and I both love it.”


    “Alright then, I’ll have it delivered tomorrow morning.” Herman crouched down and asked Pattie in a


    gentle voice, “Pattie, have you made your choice?”


    Pattie nodded vigorously, “Yes. I want a purple dress too, so I can match Mommy.”


    Herman chuckled, “Good, now I know what suit I’ll be wearing tomorrow.” He decided to get a purple


    suit to match his family.


    At this point, Salma spoke up, “I think I’ll stay home tomorrow while you all go.”


    Herman arose, “Mom, my mother insisted that youe. Tomorrow is a significant day for the Salstrom


    family. Anastasia, as thedy of the Salstrom house, it’s important that you attend. How can you not go,


    Mom?”


    Salma looked back and forth from Anastasia to Herman, internally struggling, then finally said, “Alright,


    I’ll go with you tomorrow. Pattie, you’re sleeping with Grandma tonight, we have to get up early. Go to


    bed soon.”


    Pattie was extremely well-behaved, “Okay.”


    Salma took Pattie back to her room to sleep. Anastasia spoke up, “I’m going to brush my teeth and


    apply a face mask so my makeup will apply smoothly tomorrow.”


    Herman looked at her fondly, “Alright, you go freshen up. I’ll change.”


    As Anastasia began brushing her teeth in the master bathroom, a sudden wave of nausea hit her. She


    couldn’t hold back and ended up vomiting. She felt incredibly sick. Herman heard the noise and rushed


    into the bathroom, “Anastasia, what’s wrong?”


    After rinsing her mouth out with some water, she began to feel better, “I felt a bit sick. I think I may have


    identally swallowed some toothpaste. I’m okay.” She decided not to use toothpaste to rinse her


    mouth and instead opted for in water to wash out the taste.


    Herman looked anxious, “Are you feeling better?”


    “Yes, it’s alright now.” Anastasia took a deep breath and the difort faded away.

    Herman didn’t think much of it, “Good.”


    Anastasia washed her face and was about to apply her face mask when the scent of the mask made


    her nauseous again. She decided to skip the mask. She couldn’t understand why she had been feeling


    nauseous recently. This wasn’t the first time.


    The next day, Anastasia found it hard to get out of bed. Salma had already prepared breakfast. By the


    time Anastasia woke up, Herman had already eaten and left as he had a busy day ahead. He needed


    to go to the office before picking up Anastasia for the party.


    Pattie, who didn’t have to go to school that day, was ying with building blocks on the balcony. As


    Anastasia sat down with a yawn, she picked up a muffin and took a bite. Suddenly, a strong smell


    wafted from the kitchen.


    “Mom, what are you cooking in the kitchen? It has a strong smell.” Anatasia asked.


    Salma came out with a te of baked beans, smiling, “This is for you. It’s your favorite, baked beans.


    Try it.”


    As soon as the baked beans were ced on the table, Anastasia once again felt nauseous and ended


    up vomiting in the nearby trash can. “Mom, can you take that away? The smell is unbearable.” Anatasia


    said.


    Surprised, Salma took a sniff, “It smells good. Didn’t you used to love this smell?”


    “Mom, please take it away.” Anastasia pleaded, holding her nose. She was unable to withstand the


    smell any longer.


    Seeing Anastasia’s difort, Salma took the baked beans away. Suddenly, a thought struck her and


    she walked over to Anastasia with a sly smile, “Ana, are you…?”


    “Am I what?” Anastasia didn’t catch on.


    “Are you pregnant? Are you expecting?” Salma blurted out excitedly.


    Anastasia gave a bitter smile, “Mom, no, I can’t possibly be pregnant.”


    Salma looked shocked, “How can that be?”


    Anastasia had only told Salma that she had undergone a medical examination revealing that she had


    previously had a child, but she didn’t mention that she couldn’t conceive. The doctor had mentioned


    that her chances of getting pregnant were very slim, and her previous car ident had caused damage


    to her waist, making it even more difficult for her to carry a child to term.


    Furthermore, with Herman’s condition, the chances of her getting pregnant were practically non-


    existent.
