Noemi's feelings for her were slowly changing. She thought if she had a baby, Noemi would finally let go of the grudge in her heart.

Just then, Teddy, the dog, came over and nuzzled her legs.

Rosalynn smiled and picked her up.

"Did you miss me, Teddy?"

She had found Teddy in Wragos two months ago and had brought her back.

She was almost all healed up now and had put on weight.

Teddy licked her hand but looked down, seeming upset.

“What's up, Teddy? Why so down?" Rosalynn asked, puzzled.

A servant explained, “Teddy's pregnant. About a month ago, she got out and met the neighbor's dog."

Rosalynn was surprised, then smiled. "So, Teddy, you're going to be a mom too? We'll have babies together!"

Teddy perked up, rubbing her hand and making a soft noise.

Noemi frowned and told the servant, "Take Teddy away. Dogs carry germs, and Rosalynn's pregnant. She shouldn't be around Teddy much."

The servant hesitated, looking at Rosalynn.

Rosalynn knew that dogs with parasites were typically strays without anyone caring for them.

After adopting Teddy, she requested the vet to give her a complete check-up and keep her dewormed regularly. The dog seemed to be just fine.

Yet, she didn't argue. After all, Noemi was her mother-in-law.

"Take good care of Teddy," Rosalynn instructed the servant.

The servant nodded, holding Teddy in his arms as he made his exit.

"Of course, I will."

"Rosa, are you hungry? What tickles your taste buds today? I'll have them whip up anything delightful for you."
