Chapter 189
Rachel saw that Amber was thin and looked very thin. She knew that Amber was worried about Mel’s body, so she tried to comfort her so that Amber could relax. Now the most important thing was to take good care of his body. As long as the baby in his belly was healthy, Mel’s condition would be treated.
After talking for a while, Rachel said goodbye and left. On the way back, Rachel still felt worried after thinking about it. Amber was so weak. How could the child he was pregnant with be healthy? No, she had to find a way to raise Amber’s body. Rachel thought about buying something nutritious to nourish Amber’s body.
After going back, Rachel especially checked the pregnant women’s condition and found that the pregnant women of Hong Kong and the pregnant women had started to eat bird’s nest two or three months before they got pregnant. Not only could they make their mother strong, but they could also make the newborn babies stronger, whiter, more beautiful, and more difficult to get sick. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
The bird’s nest was a good tonic. Rachel’s eyes lit up and she decided to bring the bird’s nest to Amber to nourish her body.
Rachel had eaten a lot of bird’s nest during these years. She asked Riya to find the bird’s nest and prepare to send it to Amber the next day.
Shannon told Riya not to let go of Rachel’s every move. Of course, Riya listened to her. She did not let go of any of Rachel’s actions. She even read carefully the gifts that Rachel had bought for Amber and her child. She also called to report to Shannon. Shannon praised her for being careful. Now that Rachel was going to send her bird’s nest, she immediately told Shannon about it secretly.
Hearing this, Shannon came up with an idea. She gave Riya an order, and Riya nodded repeatedly.
During dinner, Riya took the initiative to tell Rachel that she was good at making bird’s nest. She asked Rachel to send it to Amber after she cooked the bird’s nest. In this way, she would be more sincere.
Rachel felt that what she said made sense. The bird’s nest was not only meant to nourish Amber’s body, but also more important. She decided to cook the bird’s nest and send it to Amber personally.
Over the years, she had lived a comfortable life and rarely cooked. If she cooked bird’s nest for Amber, Amber would be moved when he saw her sincerity. It would be great if she was moved to loosen her mouth and start over.
After Rachel left, Amber’s mood was very complicated. Rachel had bought so many gifts, and it was obvious that she had tried her best. Seeing her cautious look at Mel, Amber was a little moved.
Ashton also said that Rachel seemed to have changed into another person, completely different from before. While they were talking, Amber’s phone rang. She answered Celia’s voice. “Sister, how have you been!”
Amber frowned. “What’s the matter, Ms. Black?”
“Did my sister receive a gift today?” Celia asked back.
“How did you know?”
“Because I also received it. I don’t know whether Ms. Grant treats us equally or not.” Celia drawled. Today, Ms. Grant gave me some things for pregnant women. She said her name. Amber looked like she was giving them to him.
Celia was very proud. “Sister has Mel. Ms. Grant told me to buy more toys and told me not to worry about it. How can I care about it? We are sisters, so we won’t care about it.”
“Shameless!” Amber was furious.
“Sister, why are you so angry?” Celia said with a smile, “Ms. Grant said that she would send me bird’s nest tomorrow. It’s a superior red bird’s nest. She wants me to nourish her body and give birth to two
big fat grandchildren for her. She said that you also have a share. Why do you think that Ms. Grant is so kind to us? Does she want us both to be her daughter-in-law?”
“Shut up!”
“Sister, don’t be angry. Let me finish my words. We are sisters. Although you have always been biased against me, I have no prejudice against you. There are some things that I should make clear to you. Sister, don’t dream of being together with Rodney. I am the one Ms. Grant likes all the time. She will not let you marry into our family. So you’d better be prepared. Don’t be fooled by the illusion. It will be too late to regret it.”
“Ms. Black, you don’t have to worry about this, but I have to remind you that you know very well what’s going on with the baby in your belly, don’t you? It’s an accident to do such a shameless thing. Isn’t Ms. Black worried that there will be something wrong with the baby you gave birth to?”
“Amber, I kindly told you to be careful of Rachel. It’s okay if you don’t appreciate it, but how can you scold the child in my belly?” Celia’s voice changed. “Amber, believe it or not, it’s up to you. But I warn you in advance that for your child, you must not eat the bird’s nest that Rachel gave you, or you will have to bear the consequences!” After saying this, Celia hung up the phone.
Although he was very clear about Celia’s character, Amber was still stimulated. Didn’t Rachel say that she didn’t like Celia? In this case, how did Celia know the gift that Rachel bought for him? Did Rachel really buy the same gift for her and Celia at the same time?
This possibility really existed. The child Celia was pregnant with was not Rodney, and it had not been fully confirmed yet. Rodney said that he did not tell Rachel. Rachel did not know that with her love for children, it was very likely that she would buy two gifts for her and Celia at the same time.
If that was the case, then her good intentions could be explained. She did not want to let go of both of them. Her target was Mel and the child in her belly.
Although it was just a guess and he was not sure, Amber began to feel uncomfortable.
Rachel got up early in the morning and began to put the bird’s nest in the water. She was ready to stew the bird’s nest and send it to Amber to drink. Riya proposed to cook for her, but she refused. This was a matter of sincerity. Rachel felt that she wanted to show her sincerity to Amber.
Speaking of stewed bird’s nest, Riya was taught by her. Although Rachel was born as a rich young lady, she was not a rich young lady who could do nothing. She was a cook in the hall. When she and Rodney’s father loved each other deeply, she often made soup for her husband’s bird’s nest.
She washed the bird’s nest in person, put it in the water, and soaked it in soft water. Then she cleaned up the things in the bird’s nest, put the bird’s nest in the water, and made it bigger. Then she put the bird’s nest and the water in the bird’s nest into the stewed cup, added sugar candy, put it into the steamed pot, and stewed it in the fire.
While cooking the bird’s nest, Rachel had been sitting by the side. Finally, the bird’s nest was cooked. Rachel packed the cooked bird’s nest and was ready to go out to give it to Amber.
At that moment, Itzel suddenly came to the Barron family. Seeing Itzel coming over, Rachel had no choice but to return to the house. Riya reminded her that the cooked bird’s nest was not cold, so it was better to send it to Amber immediately.
Rachel looked at Itzel and hesitated. She couldn’t leave Itzel behind when Itzel came, could she? So Riya volunteered to help Rachel deliver the bird’s nest to Amber.
Rachel thought about it and agreed, so Riya went out with the bird’s nest soup.
Amber and Ashton were playing with Mel in the living room when the doorbell rang. Amber got up and went out to open the door. He saw Riya standing at the door with a thermal container and looking at her
with a big smile.
“What are you doing here?” When Amber married into the Barron family, Riya often helped Rachel bully her. She had never liked Rachel, a loyal lackey. Now, seeing Riya suddenly come to her, she became alert and her tone was not pleasant.
Riya didn’t seem to care about Amber’s attitude at all. She put the insulated box in her hand in front of Amber and said with a smile, “Madam asked me to bring you some bird’s nest soup.”
“A bird’s nest?” Amber stared at the thermal container in disbelief. Celia had just reminded her last night that Rachel was going to send the bird’s nest. Today, Riya came to deliver the bird’s nest. What did Rachel want to do?
Riya nodded and said, “Yes, Madam said that you are pregnant now, and you have to take care of Mel. It’s too hard, so she cooked bird’s nest to nourish your body. This is top-level bird’s nest. It is very nutritious and is most suitable for pregnant women. The most important thing is that Madam cooked the bird’s nest herself. I have never seen Madam cook bird’s nest in these years. It’s really touching that she insisted on making bird’s nest for you even though it’s inconvenient for her to cook bird’s nest for you!”
Amber tried his best to smile. “It’s rare that Mrs. Barron is so enthusiastic that she even cooked bird’s nest for me in person. How can I be embarrassed?”
“Haha, what’s there to be embarrassed about? Mel and the child in your belly are both descendants of the Barron family. You’re going to get married to Mr. Barron soon, and we’ll be a family in the future.” Riya’s eyes fell on the thermal container and she said eagerly, “Eat it while it’s hot!”
Amber thought of Celia’s warning. “You’d better not eat those bird’s nest soups, or you’ll have to bear the consequences!”
She smiled faintly. “I just ate something, and I’m not hungry at all. I’d better stay and eat the bird’s nest.”
“If the bird’s nest is cold, it won’t taste good. It’s better to eat it while it’s hot. This is Madam’s kindness. You have to accept it, right?” Riya persuaded.
“I appreciate your kindness. Go back and tell her that I’ll eat bird’s nest soup and let her rest assured.”
“Well…” Riya frowned in embarrassment. “Miss. Stone, you know your wife’s temper. She hates people who lie the most. If she knew that I lied to her, she would definitely not let me go. You’d better eat it, even if you take a bite.”
These words made Amber even more alert. “Why does Riya want to watch me eat? Is there really something fishy in the bird’s nest?”
