RISE OF EROS

Everyone cheered at the news and Castor was in tears hugging Vala who was also in tears. They themselves had not thought that the joy of becoming parents would be so great.

However, while everyone was enjoying the good news, Helena interrupted saying, "I know that everyone is happy and it is not that I distrust Mother Carmen, but, it would be good for a proper doctor to check."

Carmen has become a mother to everyone, as she is not only the person with the most seniority but also the one who gained Andrew's trust, not to mention that she is the one who takes care of the children when they are not with their parents.

This old woman has earned the title of "Mother" not only for taking care of Andrew and his wife's children but also Marie and Oliver. Both Andrew and his wives called her "Mother Carmen" and that had given her a high status.

There was no one who dared to disrespect her among Andrew's employees, subordinates, or even wives which is why Helena's words were not a way of disrespecting her by saying that her verdict on Vala's pregnancy was wrong.

In fact, they trusted her a lot, but what Helena had said was true, Carmen is not a doctor and could be wrong. Carmen had witnessed many pregnancies even before Andrew came on the scene, since in a brothel it is not a rare occurrence, so she knew the symptoms, but she could still be wrong.

The proof that what Helena said was not a way of discrediting her came from Carmen herself who, upon hearing her, said, "Little Helena is right. The symptoms match, but it would be good to find a doctor." Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire

She paused and before anyone could say anything she spoke again, "Especially if I am right, since it is necessary for Vala to be evaluated and for nothing to go wrong. Although their cases are special thanks to the guardian seal given by Andrew, it is better to be safe than sorry".

She is the only one among the subordinates other than Castor who calls Andrew by his name. Not because Andrew forced her, but they were the only two who did not refuse when Andrew asked them to.

When she finished speaking, Castor immediately prepared to go find a doctor, but Victoria stopped him saying, "You don't need to find a doctor. I will ask my aunt to send one of the best in the family."

Although she had already left the Caltu family, she still had a lot of significance, as her marriage to Andrew is something that the Caltu family values ​​very much. Castor quickly bowed and thanked, "Thank you very much Sister Victoria," to which she replied smiling, "There is no need for such formalities between the family."

Everyone smiled at those words and Victoria left the room to send a carrier pigeon to request the doctor. Once she had left, Helena spoke again, "We should send a falcon to Andrew to inform him as well."

"I don't think that would be convenient, it would only distract him from his trip," Castor immediately replied, but everyone else disagreed and it was Carolina who spoke, "That can't be done. If we don't inform him, when he finds out he will be very upset. Don't forget that you are his sworn brother even though you are officially just a guardian."

Castor, upon hearing Carolina's words, could only wrinkle his face bitterly, because he agreed with her. Andrew, despite his status and his undeniable position as chief, treated them as family, especially Castor with whom he grew up, so he would really be upset if they kept news like this from him."

Seeing that Castor didn't say anything, Carolina went out to send the message. An hour hadn't passed when a carriage with the Caltu family crest arrived at Dunnas Palace.

Three academic-looking men got out of it. One of them was an old man with simple but well-kept clothing and the other two were middle-aged men with similar features.

Although they were different in age, the three of them looked alike. Without wasting any time, they entered Dunnas Palace, getting off the carriage carrying leather briefcases. Victoria was already waiting for them at the reception desk, and she said in surprise upon seeing them, "I didn't expect Aunt Clarissa to send all three of you."

The old man smiled upon hearing Victoria and replied, "Mrs. Victoria must be joking. There is no request from you that is not taken seriously. Where is the patient?"

Victoria just shook her head upon hearing this, as she thought her aunt was too serious. These three are the most prominent doctors in the Caltu family, and even in the kingdom they are well known, so it was obvious that she had exaggerated things.

Despite thinking that, Victoria did not say anything and led the three men to Vala's room, where they were all gathered. When the door opened and they saw Victoria accompanied by the three men, they all made space, as they knew they were the doctors.

Castor immediately stepped forward and with a courtesy he had never shown before bowed slightly and said, "Please take care of my wife." Everyone was stunned by his behavior.

He always seems like a very jovial and carefree person and although now that he was in charge of the place in the absence of Andrew and Oliver, they had noticed other qualities, this courtesy was not one of them.

Even the doctors were surprised by such a respectful request, but the old man recovered quickly and smilingly replied, "Don't worry young man," and then walked over to Vala on the bed.

His two assistants who were actually his sons accompanied him and from the briefcases they were carrying began to take out some items that no one knew about.

The medicine of this world is different from that of Earth, so the equipment they use is obviously different. Everyone stepped back giving the doctors space to work.

The old man began his inspection by spreading some strange creams on his hands and asked Vala to lift her blouse, uncovering her abdomen. Once uncovered, the old man placed his hands on Vala's abdomen and began to move his hands gently, while his sons took her vital signs and other inspections.

Everyone remained silent and some even held their breath as if breathing could interrupt the old doctors' concentration. A few minutes later the old man removed his hands from Vala's abdomen and smiling said, "Congratulations young lady, you really are pregnant."

Although they were almost sure because Carmen had said it, now that a doctor had verified it, there was no doubt, so everyone was happy. "Doctor, can you tell me how long?" Castor suddenly asked, still respectfully.

"I can't say for sure, but between 2 or 3 months," the old man replied. Hearing this, Castor smiled and approached Vala to hug her and give her a kiss as if thanking her for a job well done.

Everyone else also surrounded them and congratulated them. The three doctors let them have their moment, but they didn't leave and then Carmen approached the old man and asked, "Doctor, what recommendations should we follow?".

Her words were not loud, but everyone heard them and immediately turned to look at the doctors. Castor in particular had a serious look on his face, as it was his first child and he would not allow anything to harm the pregnancy.

He had just found out that he was going to be a father and was already acting overprotective, in this respect he is similar to Andrew. The old man looked at Carmen and before answering her question, he asked one, "Are you the caregiver?"

Everyone was surprised by the question, including Carmen, but she quickly recovered and said, "Well, everyone here is very restless, so as the oldest, I have to keep my eyes on them. Why do you ask?"

"Because you have the aura of a caregiver," the old man answered, surprising everyone again. "What do you mean by that, Elder Bolt?" Victoria asked curiously and the old man answered, "Well, as a doctor one can tell when a person has kindness in dealing with people. This lady gives off the air of a person who takes care of others."

"Well, that's Mother Carmen," Candice said as if it were natural, which made everyone chuckle and Carmen became embarrassed, so she looked at Candice with her eyes narrowed as if threatening her.

Candice immediately hid behind Helena, like a child running away from her mother, which amused everyone. Elder Bolt was surprised when he saw how everyone behaved, as he had not expected such a harmonious atmosphere in this place.

This old man is not only a doctor but also an expert and was sent not only to give her the best of the best that the Caltu family could offer at Victoria's request but he was also asked to assess the situation.

While they were not against Andrew, but they knew that he had many wives and lived in a house of pleasure, so Clarissa wanted to be sure that Victoria was treated well and Elder Bolt had just verified that.

After taking note of this, the Elder Bolt began to explain what they should keep in mind, "Well, now with respect to care, the first thing is that the lady does not do heavy work or stress herself out."

Without letting anyone interrupt, the old man continued speaking, "I see that the lady is an expert, but during pregnancy, she is forbidden to train." Hearing this, Vala immediately wrinkled her face and wanted to retort, but Carmen was quicker to speak and said, "No problem, I will keep an eye on her."

With those words, Vala had to swallow her words because Carmen had authority and she knew that she would have a bad time if she disobeyed. Furthermore, she had not taken into account that Castor and Sansa were also serious about tying her to the bed if necessary.

"Also, nutritious meals, with few condiments. Lots of water, constant hygiene, try to bathe 2 or 3 times a day," the old man continued saying and everyone took mental notes of the recommendations.

"You will feel nauseous at some point and lack of appetite is common, but still try to eat as much as you can, do not skip meals. Also, having people visit her is good, but do not do it in large groups and it would be preferable if it is after cleaning up," the Elder Bolt finished.

"I understand," said Carmen seriously. When Andrew's wives and Marie were pregnant, they had overlooked many things and entrusted everything to their divinity, since their pregnancies are special as is Vala's, but now that a doctor is present, the recommendations were not out of place.
