Chapter 1514 Are You Okay
After a checkup in the hospital, they found out that Sabrina had a higher white blood cell count than others.
In most cases, that would be a sign of bacterial infection. However, Sabrina did not have a fever, nor was she hurt anywhere. Thus, bacterial infection was not the right diagnosis.
If that’s not the case, then what could it be?
After Sasha, who was in Moranta, read the blood test report, she asked the housemaid in Red Pavilion to tell her what Sabrina had eaten and what she had used in detail.
However, nothing the housemaid told her warranted any suspicion, except for the bowl of the dessert she had in the afternoon.
“A dessert made of jujubes and snow fungi?” Devin immediately turned to Sasha. “Sasha, is there anything wrong with that?”
Sasha furrowed her brows.
Jujubes and snow fungi were good for a pregnant woman, but the main thing was whether other ingredients had been added into the dessert or not.
Thus, Sasha asked the housemaid to bring the leftover dessert over.
“Mrs. Jadeson, I really didn’t put anything else in there. I just put jujubes and snow fungi, as well as some longans. These are all good for pregnant women, and it’s the same thing I made for Ms. Jasmine back when I was taking care of her.”
The housemaid who had served the dessert was an old housemaid.
When she heard that her dessert was being suspected by the others, she hastily explained herself and even mentioned her experience in taking care of Devin’s late mother.
However, Sasha ignored her. She waited for her to bring her the bowl of dessert before asking her to pour it out in front of the camera and slowly stir its contents.
“Isn’t that almond?”
“Huh?”
The housemaid froze before her eyes drifted toward the small almonds in the dessert.
Then, a look of confusion crept upon her face.
Devin was equally confused.
Only Sebastian, who had been living with Sasha for a long time, understood what she meant. He stood up from his chair and walked over to the computer.
“Is there something wrong with almonds?”
“Yes, almonds are meant to improve blood circulation. Pregnant women tend to have bleeding when they eat these. Sab’s pregnancy is already an unstable one, and it’s only worsened by eating this.”
When she neared the end of her explanation, Sasha’s voice was already as cold as an iceberg.
When the old housemaid heard that, she panicked. “Mrs. Jadeson, I really didn’t put this in. Trust me! I’ve been working here for so many years. How could I hurt the child of the man I took care of since young?”
The old housemaid was bawling by then, seemingly about to go down on her knees at any moment.
Both Sasha and Devin were quiet.
A while later, Devin forced out, “Then why are there almonds in the dessert? Did you hand this dessert to someone else?”
He was still trying to trust her. After all, she had been working in his family for years.
As she wiped her tears, she muttered, “No, I did this all by myself. Ms. Sabrina said that she wanted some dessert yesterday, so I scoured through the cabinets and found jujubes, snow fungi, and fruits for the dessert.”
“Did you not bother checking them through? Are these all that was inside?”
“I—”
The housemaid’s mind went blank in her panic.
She was starting to wonder if she added something else when she made the dessert; she was starting to doubt that she had only put in jujubes, snow fungi, and fruits.
Right then, a thought entered Sasha’s mind, and she asked, “Did you really put in the almonds I gave for Jaena’s cough medicine last time?
The housemaid fell silent.
So did Devin and Sebastian.
At that moment, they were all too furious and shocked to say anything.
The housemaid was old, and if those almonds were still in the cabinet, the housemaid might have really accidentally put them in.
Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of the gynecologist, Sabrina managed to keep her child. After finding out about the incident, Jonathan immediately assigned a few young housemaids to Red Pavilion.
Of course, he even assigned Colton’s wife to Red Pavilion to personally take care of Sabrina.
Only then did Devin, who was still at Moranta, sigh in relief.
He was genuinely afraid. His wife was dense, and if the people around her were as unmeticulous as her while he was not around, the anxiety he would feel every day would send him to his early grave.
It looks like I have to go back as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Sabrina stayed in the hospital.
Colton’s wife, Sigrith Halford, was actually working at the bar too. After receiving Jonathan’s order, she went to the hospital.
However, just as she was about to leave her workplace, she spotted someone familiar at the bar.
“Mrs. Cooper? Why are you here? Are you here to work?” she asked, surprised and thinking that Tillie was back to work after her recovery.
However, Tillie shook her head.
“That’s not it. Sigrith, I heard that something happened to Mrs. Jadeson, and I was thinking of visiting her in the hospital. Are you going there too? Can I go with you?” Tillie nervously asked.
When Sigrith saw the gift basket in her hands, she thought, Oh, she’s here to visit her too.
