"You were also beautiful when you got married," Mary smiled. Then, glancing at Jane’s swollen belly, she asked, "Is the baby okay?"
"Yeah, all good and healthy!" Jane waved her hand happily, but she leaned over as soon as she finished speaking and began to retch. "Aww..."
"Hey, what’s wrong? Are you okay?" Mary asked after noticing how her face winced in slight pain. An assistant hurried to assist Jane and suggested, "Go over there and have a seat."
"Aww..."
Mary wanted to comfort Jane, but when she heard her retching, her stomach began to churn almost as if she was about to puke as well.
"Eww..." So, to refrain herself from making a mess, Mary pressed her chest firmly, but her stomach was really on a roll this time.
"What's wrong, Mary?" This time, it was Ena who approached her.
"No, nothing." Mary smiled at her, obviously trying to reassure the woman that everything was alright. After all, it was her wedding day, and she didn’t want to freak out everyone. However, she knew she had been suffering from stomachache recently.
"Are you too nervous?" Jazlyn, who was wearing the bridesmaid's dress, asked in an evidently worried tone.
"A little." Mary smiled to assure them that she was alright. "How are things going with Alick and Elissa?" she asked as she elongated her neck, trying to search for her kids.
"They couldn't be better. They are with B
e today?" he asked, gripping the paper so tight that it almost crumpled in his massive hands. "Uhm…it's uh…the third." Virgil almost whispered those words, afraid of what his boss' reaction would be.
The third!
Hearing that, William scrunched the newspaper into a ball. "Is Mary going to get married? She is, right? Is it today? Tell me!"
"Boss... Yes, it is." Virgil nodded while almost shrinking to his seat. At this point, all he wanted was to leave rather than deal with his boss’ wrath.
Buzz!
William's mind suddenly went blank, and his pressure rushed up, faintly feeling a surge of blood in his mouth. He paused and swallowed hard while staring fiercely at whatever was in front of him.
Then, he pulled back the quilt and got out of bed with his still weak body.
"Boss, what are you doing?" Virgil stopped him, worried that he wouldn’t last a minute standing with his current state. "You haven't recovered yet."
William brushed his hand away, obviously not wanting to listen to him. "My woman is going to marry another man, and you want me to just stay here and do nothing?! Let go of me! Get the car ready!" William's voice thundered in the entire room. And looking at how he winced at the pain, Virgil knew that he was just forcing it.
"Why do you need the car?"
"I'm going to crash the wedding! No one can have Mary aside from me! She is only mine!"
