Chapter 1713


    From the smell, X Quest guessed that it was probably herbal chicken soup or the likes of it.


    Betty Starmount helped X move the stuff onto the floor before holding X''s hand and leading her to the pot. "I made herbal chicken soup just for you. Have a taste..."


    "It''s great..." Betty added.


    ''There''s something special added to it. You ought to drink more of it.'' Betty thought to herself.


    X chuckled. "Okay... Sure."


    "Ms. Quest... I mean, X... It''s tough being pregnant, isn''t it?" Betty asked.


    “Not too bad. I haven''t had any symptomstely. I''ve been able to eat, sleep, and drink well..." X said truthfully.


    When Betty heard this, she secretly clenched her fists tightly. "I see... Have you felt ufortable in any way? I heard that many pregnant women feel ufortable during this period..."


    X shook her head. "I did feel ufortable in the beginning, but it''s gone awaypletely now. Not only that, I feel just as healthy as I was before I was pregnant. My appetite has gotten better..."


    Betty secretly clenched her fists tightly again when she heard this...


    How was this possible?


    X had been having breakfast with them recently.


    Every morning, Betty would add something to the bird''s nest she cooked for X.


    X consumed all of them each time.


    It''d been such a long time. How could there not be any reaction?


    This wasn''t normal at all...


    However, to prevent X from noticing anything odd about her, Betty quickly stopped thinking. She then lifted the pot''s lid and presented X with the boiling herbal chicken soup...


    The moment the lid was lifted, the thick scent of herbal chicken made X feel hungry...


    "Let me do it. Your hand is injured. You shouldn''t be doing any work," X said.


    After that, X picked up three bowls and filled them all with the herbal chicken soup...


    Once she was done, she ced the bowls on a tray. She then found three spoons and carried everything to the living room.


    X ced the tray down in front of Jeremy Quest.


    Seeing the herbal chicken soup that Betty had personally cooked made Jeremy feel extremely happy...


    Ever since Betty moved in, the house felt more like home.


    He liked what she brought to the house.


    "Have a sip of this chicken soup to warm your stomach, Dad..." X said.


    With that, X sat next to Jeremy. She carefully brought a bowl of chicken soup over to Jeremy.


    After that, she ced another bowl of chicken soup next to Jeremy''s right hand.


    When Betty saw this, she


    immediately sat down on Jeremy''s right. "You two go ahead. I''ve been feeling a little heatytely. I can''t drink this herbal stuff..."


    X nodded gently before she started eating the herbal chicken soup.


    X liked the chicken soup Betty cooked.


    There weren''t any artificial vors. All the vors in the soup came from fresh ingredients.


    With the right amount of heat during


    the


    de process, the taste


    Hight. It was practically the


    delicious soup she''d ever had.


    Although X didn''t like Betty as a person, she was rather fond of Betty''s cooking...


    X and Jeremy soon finished eating the chicken soup in their respective bowls.


    Meanwhile, Jeremy still craved for more. Hence, he ended up finishing Betty''s portion too.


    Right then, the doorbell started ringing.


    Ding-dong, ding-dong-


    X knew that Stanley must have arrived...


    Hence, she stood up and walked over to the door and looked through the door viewer...


    Soon, what X saw through the door viewer frightened her.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    X subconsciously took a step back...


    She took a deep breath.


    Her heart was beating extremely fast...
