Chapter 59
I paled at her words. “Oh, you are pregnant aren’t you? I’m sorry if my question was impertinent, I just have a knack for telling and I don’t always think before I speak” Lady Anastasia quickly said. “Oh no need to apologize” I replied. I felt bad that she was embarrassed especially since I am in fact pregnant. “It’s just…well I’m not very far along and I don’t want anyone to know yet. Even my husband doesn’t know” I said in a low voice. Lady Anastasia nodded and said “I completely understand my dear. I’ve lost two pregnancies myself, so I know how precarious the first few months can be.” I gulped as I realized that I could very well lose the baby at this stage. Maybe I shouldn’t be doing this after all. What a wretched choice, the baby or Halvor and our people. Lady Anastasia
