Chapter 431

Chapter 431:

When Gabby spoke of the unborn babies, Amelia swallowed the nausea rising inside her and lifted the spoon resting on the table.

Yet as soon as the broth’s scent reached her, a violent wave churned through her body. She set the spoon down and rushed straight to the bathroom.

After Gabby assisted Amelia from the bathroom, she prepared to persuade her again, but Vida immediately ordered the servants to clear the dishes.

Once the lingering odor dispersed, Amelia finally felt she could breathe properly again.

Vida remained near Amelia. Observing the faint flush returning to Amelia’s skin, she asked softly, “Mrs. Stewart, would you like anything to eat right now? Just say the word, and I’ll send someone to bring it to you immediately p>

“I want skewers from Kretol University’s snack street and those baked flatbreads p>

“You can’t eat any of that!” Gabby responded firmly.

At those words, the brightness in Amelia’s gaze faded. Carlee’s chest tightened. She felt for Amelia, but she couldn’t do anything to help her.

Vida suddenly said, “Wait here — I’ll have them fetched right away p>

“Vida, Amelia’s body really isn’t strong enough for such food! You p>

“Does it even matter anymore?” Vida shot back. “Gabby, I understand your concern, but do you honestly think she can hold on until Mr. Stewart returns if this continues p>

J𝗼𝗂𝗻 t𝗵𝗈𝗎ѕa𝗇𝘥𝗌 𝗈𝖿 f𝘢𝗻𝗌 𝘰ո

Gabby had no reply.

As the silence dragged on, Vida turned to Kurt, preparing to speak. But before she could do that, Carlee suddenly said, “I’ll go! I know the location p>

Without waiting for approval, Carlee dashed from the living room at once.

Amelia found pregnancy symptoms a bewildering experience.

Before she discovered she was pregnant, her body had shown no signs. But the moment it was confirmed, an indescribable discomfort consumed her entirely.

Barely more than a month had passed, yet the burden already felt crushing. She didn’t know how she would survive the months ahead.

Seeing Amelia’s frustration, Gabby offered reassurance in a tender voice. “Amelia, don’t worry. After the early stage, the discomfort will gradually lessen p>

Carlee soon returned carrying a collection of everything from the snack street. Seeing her enter the living room with arms full of bags, Amelia felt touched and amused. “Did you purchase the entire street p>

Carlee did not answer. She immediately produced the skewers and flatbreads Amelia had longed for.

As she handed them to Amelia, a shadow of worry flickered across Carlee’s features — fear that Amelia might retch again.

To everyone’s relief, after Amelia tasted the first bite, her hunger stirred.

“So delicious! Just as I remembered!” she exclaimed.

Hearing this, the three women surrounding Amelia all sighed in relief.

Within the inner expanse of Elixirspine.

At dawn’s first light, Wyatt and his companions had already stepped into Elixirspine. After marching for hours, they finally advanced into the deeper section.

When they encountered yet another dead beast, Weldon voiced his puzzlement. “This makes no sense — why are so many beasts lying dead along the trail p>

Just as he finished speaking, a piercing cry shattered the air.

Accompanying it was the anguished scream of a girl.

“Mr. Stewart, watch out!” Barrie called to Wyatt as soon as he heard a sound.

Wyatt evaded, but Marc, standing close, let out a grunt.

A massive eagle, striking with blinding swiftness, had raked Marc across the back with its talons.

The impact hurled Marc to the ground, making him unconscious. The bodyguards hurried to pull him away while Barrie and the others raised their rifles, yet none dared fire.

The reason was clear. The creature loomed nearly five meters in length. When it swooped downward, it resembled a mountain falling from the sky.

Ordinary hunting rifles posed no threat to it.

The creature’s true target wasn’t them. Its pursuit was fixed on Joselyn.

Joselyn weaved through the forest with agile speed, her quick movements outpacing its wings. Marc had been struck by accident.

“How could a bird reach such size?” someone cried.

“That isn’t just any bird; it’s an eagle p>

During the flight, Wyatt had searched Elixirspine online and stumbled across tales of a black eagle.

The locals revered it as the sacred guardian of the mountain, claiming that its existence served to shield the treasures within.

Wyatt did not know if that was true. For now, only finding the wildroot panax mattered to him.

Joselyn teetered on the edge of capture by the black eagle. Realizing Wyatt’s group intended no aid, she shouted, “I know you seek the thousand-year wildroot panax! I know where to find it! Save me, and I’ll lead you there p>
