Chapter 9 Nine

In as much as Jayda was going through something delicate that made her want to spend all day in bed and continue crying where she left off, she had a job to attend to so that alone made her reluctantly get up from her bed as soon as her alarm buzzed. She did her morning rituals, changed into professional wear and exited her apartment.

Jayda was mute all day. She only opened her mouth to give one-word instructions or one-word answers. She was happy the work she had to do made her forget about the pregnancy, even though it was only for a while.

"I guess talking to you about it made me feel better. I'll begin to look at the positive side of everything and try my best to cope." Jayda confessed.

Lilian decided to cheer Jayda up by teasing her. "I'm so jealous of your unborn child right now. He is not even born yet and he's richer than me.
