Erica must've saved the world in her past Life given how amazing her life was now. Before she even met Matthew, her father, brother, and sister made sure to spoil the living life out of her.
Now that she was married, that luck never seemed to run out.
Knowing that Erica was pregnant and had almost suffered from a miscarriage, Carlos and Debbie dropped all the events Lined up the next day and traveled to Askor to visit their beloved daughter-in-law.
When the couple entered her room, Matthew was coaxing Erica to take another spoonful of medicine.
"This is the last spoonful,” he stated.
Her eyes watered.
“You also said that the last time!" she protested.
The medicine was a mix of different Chinese herbs to promote a healthy pregnancy cycle. Although Erica knew its importance, it was still very bitter. She almost cried when she had taken the first sip.
“Rika!" Debbie didn't want to break the warm atmosphere, but she couldn't help herself. She walked to her bedside and peered over her frail figure.
“Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Erica's eyes widened. No one told her that her in-laws would visit.
While she was distracted, Matthew took this opportunity to feed her the last mouthful of the medicine. Her attention was trained on her in-laws that she drank it up subconsciously.
The moment she swallowed it, her face quivered as the bitter aftertaste took over.
“Mmph." He quickly placed a piece of sweet candy into her mouth. Immediately, she wrapped her tongue around it, trying to dispel the bitterness.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Debbie pushed her son aside and held
Erica's hand.
"Are you feeling better, dear?"
“I'm feeling much better now." She nodded. The doctor had said that she only needed to stay in bed for a few more days before she could return to her normal schedule.
“That's good. We're here to pick you up. Don't get me wrong. If you want to stay at home for a few more days, then that's fine as well. We can go back later," Debbie said softly. She could understand that
Erica would want to spend more time with her parents as much as possible.
When she heard of the news, Debbie had been so anxious that she couldn't stay put in Alorith any longer. She immediately dragged Carlos over to see Erica.
After thinking for a while, Erica glanced at Wesley and Carlos by the doorway and then gazed at Blair and Chantel.
“Mom, you haven't seen my mom for a long time. Why don't you stay for two more days?" she suggested.
She did want to spend more time with her parents.
“That's fine with me,“ Debbie readily agreed. Carlos and Wesley were good friends, so it didn't matter for them if they got to spend time together for a few more days. They had much to talk about.
‘Two more days?' Afraid that it might delay Matthew's work, Blair was quick to say, "You can't wait for two more days. Debbie, why don't you take her with you and fly back to Alorith tomorrow? Now that she's pregnant, she's more willful. Sometimes, I couldn't help but want to beat her."
