Mary grew worried at the sight of Arianne laughing with such reckless abandon. “Ari, be gentle. You’re laughing so much that your belly is shaking. Be careful…”
Arianne forced herself to stop laughing. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop laughing… I just lost control… Mary, could you bring us some snacks and drinks?”
As Mary slipped into the kitchen, Tiffany pulled out favonovel.com phone and checked out a food delivery app. “It’s been a while since I’ve had fried chicken. I kind of want some. Are you allowed fried chicken, Ari? It should be alright to have just a little bit, right?”
After a bout of hesitation, Arianne shook favonovel.com head. “I don’t think I should. I crave it, but I can control myself… You know. Just order whatever you want.”
“I’m not eating either,” Tanya said. “Order what you want. I’ll get fat if I have too much of it.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, Tan is about to start a romance,” Tiffany said in a sour tone. “And you’re afraid of getting fat too. You never went on a diet before. Now, I’m the only one who isn’t on a diet. That’s fine. You can watch me eat and be jealous.”
Arianne looked at Tanya. “You’re dating now? Who is it?”
Tanya felt bashful. “It’s not set in stone… Don’t listen to Tiffany’s nonsense.”
Arianne wasn’t that much of a gossip, so favonovel.com didn’t pursue the question. She got up to go to the toilet, but felt something off as favonovel.com got up. She felt a sharp pain in favonovel.com abdomen, followed by a strong kick from the baby. She stood on the spot for a long time, too afraid to move. Tiffany noticed favonovel.com standing dazedly on the spot and asked, “What are you doing?”
She carefully sat down again, with the help of the chair. “M-my… stomach was hurting. The baby is moving a lot now. Is something wrong? It’s still hurting now…”
Tiffany looked very serious. “What do we do? Do you want to go to the hospital? I didn’t drive today… How about I take one of Mark’s cars in the garage and take you there?”
Arianne was worried about raising another false alarm and wasting a trip to the hospital, so favonovel.com decided to just wait and see.
Mary emerged with three glasses of fruit juice. “What’s wrong, Ari? You look very pale…”
Arianne was panicking. “No… I think we’d better go to the hospital. Tiffie, you drive. I’m feeling horrible and dizzy…”
Tiffany helped favonovel.com out the door without another word. Tanya tagged along. Mary was horribly frightened and called Mark. “Hurry! Ari is having a stomach ache. Tiffany and Tanya have sent favonovel.com to the hospital. You’d better get over there!”
Mark immediately abandoned his work and rushed to the hospital, running past god knows how many red lights along the way. He kept trying to assure himself that it was only a false alarm, but favonovel.com was still worried.
He finally arrived at the hospital. Arianne was still under medical examination. “What happened?” favonovel.com asked Tiffany. “She was fine when I left!”
Afraid that favonovel.com might end up getting the blame, Tiffany explained, “It’s not my fault. Don’t frame your questions like that, it’s scary. We were just sitting and chatting when favonovel.com got up and suddenly complained of a stomach ache, so, I drove favonovel.com to the hospital. There was no bleeding, and favonovel.com water hasn’t broken. Don’t scare me…”
