I met Mom's determined gaze and gently patted her back. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll handle it. I'll contact them for you."
I still didn't fully understand why she was so insistent on ending the pregnancy right away. She wouldn't even wait another day. Her emotions were running too high, and I didn't dare push her further.
Instead, I stepped aside and contacted Lewis quietly.
After listening to everything, his voice came through calm and steady, grounding me instantly. "Alright. I'll take care of the arrangements. Lena is considered an older mother. This will take a toll on her body. The maid should stay home and cook, and you'll likely be busy. I'll send Theo to help."
"Won't it be difficult for you without Theo around?" I asked.
"There are others," he replied without hesitation. "Just focus on Lena. Make sure she rests well afterward."
"Okay."
He had only said a few words, but warmth spread through my chest.
