Chapter 1124:
In the Brooks family home, Marcel sat down beside his fiancée, his voice full of concern. “Anika, how are you feeling today p>
The baby had been saved after the last accident, but Anika had still spent nearly two weeks in the hospital. After the daily checkups, the doctor finally confirmed that both mother and baby were safe, and that Anika was ready to be discharged. Without hesitation, Katie brought Anika back to the Brooks family home, worried she might have another accident.
Anika shook her head with a smile. “I’m fine. The doctor said so. And I’ll be staying at your home, so don’t worry about me p>
Even so, Marcel still felt uneasy whenever he thought about what had happened at the hospital. It had taken him so much time and effort to be with Anika, and he didn’t want to lose her now.
“I’m going to be a dad, and you’ve finally accepted my proposal,” he said, his tone turning solemn. “As the head of this family, I have to protect you and our baby from anything that could hurt you p>
“Whatever you want to say, you can say it later.” Katie’s voice cut in. “Now, Anika, drink your soup first p>
Katie brought the freshly made soup to the table where Anika and Marcel were sitting.
Anika nodded with a smile and began drinking it. Just then, the doorbell rang. A servant went to answer it, and Annabel walked in, carrying a bag full of tonics. She greeted Anika warmly.
“I’m here to visit you. How have you been p>
Marcel stood up at once, delighted to see her. He took the tonics from Annabel and placed them neatly to the side.
Annabel sat close to Anika with an affectionate smile and gently touched her belly. “Are you four or five months pregnant now? Did the doctor tell you the gender yet p>
Anika gave her a reproachful look, still surprised by how much she’d brought. “Why did you bring so many things? I’m not that important. Besides, I’m fine p>

Annabel chuckled. “You’re pregnant, so you’re the most important person in this family. We even agreed that once the baby is born, it’ll call me Godmother p>
She was truly happy. Anika had finally been accepted by the Brooks family, and as her close friend, Annabel felt relieved. Of course, she was also teasing her a little.
Anika smiled shyly. Ever since she’d returned from the hospital, Marcel and Katie had treated her like fragile treasure and refused to let her do anything even slightly risky. She had gained some weight and looked much healthier now. With a playful grin, she teased Annabel back. “Then when you and Rupert have a baby, we can shop for clothes together for our little ones p>
Annabel felt a bit bashful at Anika’s bright, teasing expression. Truthfully, she and Rupert hadn’t really planned that far ahead.
Still, if she brought it up to Rupert, he would probably leap at the chance to start preparing.
“That’s something we can talk about later.” Annabel smiled, then her expression turned curious. “What I’m more concerned about is this—when are you and Marcel going to have the wedding? You’re already having a baby. It would be strange not to have a wedding, right p>
Anika let out a soft sigh. “I’ve been pregnant for four months. It won’t look good to wear a wedding dress. Besides, the doctor said the baby and I have been through a lot. Now p>
