Chapter 119 A Tense Situation

• Alexa suddenly stood up from her chair without caution, only to bump her stomach against the underside of the table. She winced and quickly sat back down. Hearing the loud sound accompanied by Alexa’s pained expression, Eric immediately turned back to face her.
• “What happened? Where does it hurt?” Eric asked, clearly worried. He crouched beside Alexa’s chair and lifted the hem of her knee-length dress. Guilt washed over him as he saw a reddish bruise forming on her side. “Does it hurt a lot? Should we go to the hospital?”
• Alexa, still rubbing her stomach, shook her head in response. Her startled baby had begun to move actively, causing her discomfort. The bump wasn’t too hard, but it was her own fault for not being more careful.
