Bab 2373: Under the Spotlight (Part 1)

"Why do you think Kami rolled her eyes when I told her that I was coming to Valeron as well?" Lith asked.

"Maybe because you don't allow her to walk up a single flight of stairs and open a Steps for her? Because you move her chair for her every time and carry her suitcase for her?" Solus said with a sneer. "She's pregnant, not crippled."

"She's in the third month!" Lith said in outrage. "What if she exerts herself? What if she or the baby gets hurt?"

"Never mind." Solus rolled her eyes and gave up after remembering Elina's words.

"Curb your worry, Lith. Women got pregnant in the past and they survived even when neither they nor their husbands had a shred of magical power." Orion ignored Lith's hand and gave him a brief embrace, patting his shoulder.

"Really? Were you calm when Jirni was pregnant with Gunyin?" Lith was surprised to see Orion there, let alone back to work and wearing all the insignia of his rank.
