    Chapter 1256 A Warm Jade


    The gynecologist quickly exined, “Yes, the reading is supposed to be higher during the first


    trimester, as the fetus has just imnted itself into the womb. Females’ hormones work differently. It’ll


    return to normal once your body gets used to it.”


    Ah, I see.


    Putting down the report, Sasha did not ask further.


    In the following months, she stayed at Oceanic Estate. Sebastian rarely went out as well. It seemed like


    he wanted to keep herpany throughout the entire pregnancy until the baby was born.


    She was not worried about the chaos going on outside because she believed Sebastian must have


    made necessary arrangements.


    Two monthster, Sasha’s pregnancy had progressed to its third month.


    “Darling, your dad and uncle want to visit us. Do you want them toe?”


    “What? Can theye?”

    Lying on a chair at the observation tower while eating fruit, Sasha sat up as soon as she heard him.


    Her eyes were gleaming brightly.


    Right then, she felt a cramp in her belly.


    She was stunned for a few seconds.


    “Darling?”


    Sebastian was peeling some fruit. Her sudden silence made him tilt his head to nce at her.


    Sasha paused briefly, wanting to say something. Touching her belly, she found it perfectly fine, as if the


    cramp just now was only an illusion.


    Perhaps it was just my imagination.


    Sasha regained herposure. “Yeah. When are theying? Can we really bring them here now?”


    “Sure, don’t worry. As long as you’re happy, they can even stay here,” the man consoled her calmly.


    Since he’s alright with it, I have nothing to worry about.


    Sasha was beaming with joy.


    Sebastian was indeed efficient. Two dayster, Rufus, Jackson, and his wife were brought over to


    Oceanic Estate.


    “Dad, Uncle Jackson, Aunt Sharon, I’m so d to see you!”


    Meeting her family after such a long time, sheunched herself into her father’s arms with red-rimmed


    eyes.


    Rufus’ eyes misted over as well.


    However, he held himself back and only patted her shoulders because there were many people around


    them at this unfamiliar ce.


    “Alright, alright. You’re a grownup already. Stop acting like a child and be careful. Don’t forget you’re


    pregnant now.”


    “Okay.”


    Sasha let him go bashfully.


    That night, they had a feast at Oceanic Estate, chattering away merrily. The dinner went on for hours.


    Feeling fatigued because of her pregnancy, Sasha went upstairs to her room with Sharon after dinner.


    “I can tell that you’re having a good life here. I’m happy for you.”


    After exploring Oceanic Estate, Sharon noticed everyone treated Sasha well. A look of relief appeared


    on her face.


    At her words, a wave of warm, fuzzy feeling washed over Sasha.


    “Aunt Sharon, I’m sorry for making you worried previously.”


    “What is there to worry about? As long as your husband is around, everything will be fine. Now that


    you’re pregnant, you must take great care of yourself, so he won’t be worried, alright?” Sharon


    reminded her.


    Judging from her words about Sebastian, the woman was shrewd and sharp-witted.


    Nevertheless, she seemed a little downhearted after speaking, as she was reminded that her daughter


    passed away because of Sebastian.


    “Aunt Sharon, what are you thinking about?”


    “Nothing. By the way, I’ve brought you a gift. It has been passed down for generations of the


    ckwood family .”


    With that, she fished out an item wrapped in a yellow towel.


    Sasha’s curiosity was piqued.


    It’s been passed down for generations? Why does she give it to me? I’m not one of the ckwoods.


    Meanwhile, Sharon had unwrapped it. On the yellow towely a long needle with a red stone at its tip.


    “What’s this?”


    “It’s a bloodstone from the neenth century. Have you heard of it?”


    Sharon held it in her hand and pointed at a few words engraved on the item.


    A bloodstone?


    Sasha’s mouth hung open in disbelief.


    Of course she had heard of it. Dr. Kaye told her there was an incredibly urate method to detect


    poisons in the olden days using a bloodstone and a needle.


    As soon as the needle was inserted into a human body, it could detect whether the person had been


    poisoned in no time.


    Unfortunately, this technique was lost in history.


    There were only a very limited number of these devices. In fact, no one in the modern era had seen it.


    “Aunt Sharon, are you kidding me? How is this possible? It’s been lost in history for centuries. How did


    you get it?”


    Sasha could not believe her eyes.


    Sharon stared at her as though she were an idiot. “Why not? The ckwood family has had it for a


    long time. Have you heard the rumor that it can detect poisons?”


    “Mmm… Is that not the case?”


    Sasha was embarrassed.
