The Legend of Cinderella's Counterattack

"Morning sickness...is normal..." The family doctor adjusted his glasses and smiled gently. "Every pregnant woman has a different constitution, and her reactions during pregnancy are also different. Miss Lin, don't worry too much."

"But I've been vomiting for almost a month. I vomit everything I eat and even water. If this continues, will the child be malnourished..." I lay weakly on the bed, my stomach churning, but I couldn't vomit anything out. I could only dry heave weakly.

"Baby, how are you? Do you want some water?" Lawrence Lu held me in his arms lovingly, patting my back gently, his eyes full of worry and anxiety.

"Don't worry, I'll think of something." He picked up his phone and kept scrolling through something, his brow furrowed. I knew he must be searching the internet for various ways to relieve morning sickness.

Ever since I got pregnant, he's been like this, like an ant on a hot pan, unable to stop for a moment. He's turned down all his work and stayed by my side 24 hours a day, serving me tea and water, massaging my legs, and even learning how to cook, finding all sorts of ways to provide me with nutrition.

But my morning sickness showed no sign of abating. Every morning, I woke up to a wave of overwhelming nausea. I threw up everything I ate, and even the smell of cooking fumes caused me to dry heave. It was like I was stuck in a vicious cycle, unable to escape.

"Lolo, I heard that lemon water can relieve morning sickness. Would you like to try it?" He held a glass of steaming lemon water and carefully handed it to my mouth.

I fought back the churning in my stomach and took a sip. A sour taste instantly spread through my mouth. The next second, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I pushed him away, rushed into the bathroom, and vomited violently into the toilet...

I collapsed powerlessly on the cold floor, tears mixed with sweat, my cheeks a mess. I felt like a stranded fish, trying desperately to breathe, but could only open my mouth in vain.

"Knock, knock, knock..." A rapid knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

"Lolo, are you okay?" came the concerned voice of her best friend Sophie from outside the door. "I bought a lot of maternity products. Is there anything you need?"

I struggled to get up and opened the door. Sophie rushed in like a gust of wind, carrying large and small bags in her hands.

"Look, this is anti-radiation clothing for pregnant women, this is a pillow for pregnant women, and this is special skin care products for pregnant women..." Sophie excitedly showed me her "trophies", as if she was showing off the gifts she carefully selected.

I fought back the churning in my stomach and forced a smile. "Thank you, Sophie, that's so thoughtful of you."

Honestly, I'm not particularly interested in these things. Radiation-proof clothing? I spend more time in front of my computer than anyone else, and I haven't seen any improvement. Pregnancy pillows? Right now, I just want to lie flat. Any pillow is the same to me. As for maternity skincare products, I'm even more dismissive. Does pregnancy mean I can't be beautiful?

"Lolo, what did the doctor say? Is your morning sickness better?" Sophie asked with concern.

I shook my head and said with a wry smile, "The doctor recommended that I adjust my diet and sleep schedule, but..."

"But what?"

"But my design draft is not finished yet, and I will participate in the fashion week next month. I can't give up like this." My tone was full of helplessness and anxiety.

Sophie was silent. She knew my love and dedication to this job.

"But your body..."

"I know, I will try my best to pay attention." I interrupted her, not wanting to continue this heavy topic.

"Okay, take care of yourself and call me if you need anything." Sophie patted my shoulder and comforted me.

After seeing Sophie off, I returned to my room and looked at the maternity supplies filling the room. I felt a mixture of emotions. I longed to be a good wife and a good mother, but I also didn't want to give up my dream.

what should I do?

I took a deep breath and told myself I couldn't let myself get so depressed. My child was my responsibility, but I couldn't give up on my dream so easily. I picked up my phone and called the design team leader, asking in detail about the progress and any problems we were facing.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry about your pregnancy. We are here to take care of you!" The supervisor's relaxed voice came from the other end of the phone, trying to ease my anxiety.

But I could hear a hint of fatigue in his voice. I knew full well how much pressure my absence had put on the team. From design revisions to sample production to showroom layouts... every single task required my personal oversight to ensure the final result.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will return to work as soon as I feel better." I said in a firm tone, suppressing my physical discomfort.

After hanging up the phone, my heart felt even heavier. At this moment, Lawrence Lu pushed the door open and walked in, holding a bowl of steaming porridge in his hand.

"Come, drink this." He put the porridge on the bedside table and said softly.

I took the bowl of porridge, but I had no appetite at all.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Lu Yuxuan noticed my abnormality and asked with concern.

I shook my head, put down the bowl of porridge, and said in a low voice, "Yuxuan, am I too willful? I should put the child first and take good care of the baby at home."

Lawrence Lu sat down on the bed, gently hugged me in his arms, and said softly: "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? You are my wife and the mother of our children. Your dreams are equally important. I will always be by your side and support you in doing whatever you want to do."

I raised my head and looked at Lawrence Lu’s determined eyes, and a warm current surged in my heart. I knew that no matter what choice I made, he would support me unconditionally.

"But at the company..." I hesitated to speak.

"I've already made arrangements. I'll reduce my workload during this period and stay at home with you." Lawrence Lu said in a relaxed tone, "Just focus on taking care of the baby, and leave the rest to me."

I knew that in order to take care of me, he had to put aside the company's affairs temporarily. Although he didn't say it, I could feel that he was also full of anxiety deep down.

I held his hand, feeling the warmth of his palm, a mixture of emotions welling up inside me. I knew he was doing this for my own good, but what about the company? Was my design, my dream, really going to be put on hold just because I was pregnant? Just as my thoughts were wandering, my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up, saw it was an unfamiliar number, and a wave of unease crept in.

"Hello, who is this?" I pressed the answer button and tried to sound calm.

"Lin Luoluo? I'm Lawyer Li, your mother's lawyer." A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone serious and unfamiliar.

I was stunned. Mother? A lawyer? Didn't my mother pass away a long time ago? How could a lawyer suddenly appear? My heart began to beat wildly, and a sense of foreboding washed over me.

"Lawyer? What lawyer? What happened to my mother?" I asked anxiously, my voice trembling slightly with nervousness.

"It's like this. Your mother made a will before she died, designating you to inherit her overseas property. I have sent the relevant documents of the will to your email, please check it." Lawyer Li's tone was still calm, as if he was just stating a very ordinary matter.

I hung up the phone, completely stunned. My mother owned property overseas? How had I never known about it? And why had she left it to me? Was there some secret I didn't know about?

I eagerly opened my email, and sure enough, it was from Attorney Li. With trembling hands, I clicked on it and began to read the contents. The will was simple: it simply left me an overseas property, along with the address and some relevant documents.

I stared at the words on the screen, my mind a blur. This sudden news was like a bomb, completely shattering my peaceful life. I had a vague feeling that there must be some huge secret hidden behind this, a secret that could very well change my life.
