“What is it?” Ivy asked.
Wanda took out a pregnancy test stick. “It’s a pregnancy test.”
Ivy paused. “A pregnancy test?”
Wanda said, “I noticed you’ve been unusually sleepy these past few days, and your appetite hasn’t been great. Based on my experience, there’s a good chance you’re pregnant. You can use this test for a preliminary check.”
Wanda had come with a mission. Not only had Ivy and Nathan been living together these days, but Wanda had also adjusted Ivy’s meals to include ingredients believed to support fertility.
Ivy and Nathan were young and had a healthy lifestyle. Pregnancy was perfectly normal.
In truth, Ivy herself had been waiting for the results these past couple of days. She just hadn’t expected Wanda to notice it first.
Ivy reached out and took the test. “Thank you. I’ll go test it inside.”
She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take the test.
The wait was only one minute, but to Ivy, that minute felt endless. She clasped her hands together and silently prayed, hoping with everything she had that it would be positive. She needed this child more than anything.
Soon, the time was up. Ivy picked up the test. Two red lines appeared.
She was pregnant.
She was really pregnant!
A wave of overwhelming joy rushed over her. Her mind went blank as she leaned against the sink and slowly relaxed. All the pressure and anxiety she had been carrying these past days melted away.
She was truly pregnant.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Wanda’s voice came from outside. “Mrs. Lowe, is the result out yet?
་་
Ivy opened the bathroom door. Wanda looked at her expectantly. “So? What’s the result?”
Ivy handed the pregnancy test to Wanda.
Wanda was so happy, she almost jumped. “You’re pregnant! Congratulations, Mrs. Lowe! This is great news!”
Only then did it start to feel real to Ivy. She placed a hand over her lower abdomen. There was a child inside her

It was her baby, the continuation of her bloodline,
“That’s wonderful, Mrs. Lowe. I’ll tell Mr. Keith right away,” Wanda said excitedly.
She took out her phone and called Keith. The Lowe family had lived overseas for years, and Keith was also based

abroad.
The call connected quickly. Wanda said with a broad smile, “Sir, congratulations. Your wish has come true. Mrs. Lowe is pregnant!”
Keith was overjoyed. “She’s pregnant? That’s wonderful! Our family’s finally getting bigger!”
“Yes. Congratulations to you,” Wanda said warmly.
“Where’s Ivy?”
“She’s right here with me.”
“Let me speak to her.”
Wanda handed the phone to Ivy. “He wants to talk to you.”
Ivy took the phone. “Hello, Grandpa.”
“Ivy, you didn’t let me down,” Keith said. “The child you’re carrying is the eldest legitimate grandchild of the Lowe family. You’ve contributed a lot to our family. I’ve already bought you a luxury villa in Skyreach Hills and put it under your name, along with 5% of Lowe Group’s shares. When you give birth, I will also prepare a very generous welcome gift for the baby.”
Ivy knew the Lowe family was wealthy, but she hadn’t expected Keith to be this generous.
Villas in Skyreach Hills were incredibly hard to come by, with each one priced well into the tens of millions of dollars. It was breathtakingly expensive.
Five percent of Lowe Group’s shares was an even more astonishing gift. Even if she never worked another day in her life, that alone would support her for several lifetimes.
In elite families, the idea of rising in status through childbirth was made vividly real.
Ivy curved her lips into a smile.
“Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll make sure to take care of this pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby.”
