Chapter 106 (2/2)
”Yes.” Anna smiles.
She stopped for a moment, then raised her foot and turned around to go upstairs.
Just at this moment, the door was opened, the hall came in and ran out.
Anna heard the sound and turned around again. She felt as if she had been pulled by something. She walked down the remaining stairs.
At the dark door, some snowflakes took the opportunity to drill in. As soon as they touched the ground, they fell down and turned into snowy water, making the small area at the door become wet and slippery.
Anna's pace slowed.
Her mood is very anxious, as if she knows something, but the sense of responsibility as a mother makes her have to protect her own safety.
The servant on duty also saw the slippery ground and looked at Anna with some fear. Only when the latter was free, he was relieved.
Just as he was about to say something, several figures had already come from the courtyard.
You don't need to guess who it is.
However, the gentleman, who always liked to walk in with fixed steps, walked slowly, and the hall on one side was still following closely, as if he was worried about something.
”Alexis!” Anna cried out.
The sound has just landed, the figure has stepped into the door, wrapped in the wind and snow.
Anna's eyes fell on Karenin's face, and her face turned pale. She saw a little damage to Karenin's eyes, and her forehead was swollen.
Just when Anna wanted to walk quickly, Karenin had already taken a step forward, almost like running.
He helped Anna as if she were the one who was hurt.
”You are hurt!” Anna said, her hands had instinctively grasped Karenin's arm, but subconsciously released it. She saw that he was hurt and was afraid to scratch him, but Karenin took her left hand.
”It's not serious, it just looks a little scary.”
As he spoke, he looked down at the door and quickly ordered his servants.
”The ground is too wet. Close the door and clean it up.”
”Yes, sir.” The servant replied quickly.
”Shall I get you a doctor?” Asked the servant.
Karenin shook his head: ”the snow is too heavy. Let's talk about it tomorrow.” With that he put his eyes back on Anna, who was raising his hand, looking to make sure that his face was serious.
”The snow was a little heavy, the road skidded, and accidentally hit the door handle of the carriage.” He said simply and quickly.
”I'll take care of it a little bit. I'll get the medicine box.” Anna distressed and wanted to get the medicine box, but Karenin stopped her.
”Anna, the medicine box is in the bedroom.” He cautioned.
Anna found that she had done a stupid thing. She had no time to think about it. She just nodded and wanted to take Karenin's hand and take him up.
”Don't worry.” Said Karenin in a low voice.
”But...” Anna was a little confused. Her heart beat a little fast. She didn't know whether she was pregnant or how. She felt dizzy and wanted to say something, but her brain was stuck. At this moment, she was gently pulled into one's arms.
”Nothing serious, Anna.”
Karenin gently comforted.
Anna took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
”I'm ready.” She said.
Karenin released his hand. He wanted to hold Anna, but the latter pulled his hand faster, as if she were the stronger side.
”Let's go to your bedroom and have the doctor come and show you tomorrow.”After she finished speaking to Karenin, she said to the servant that he would go to the kitchen to cook an egg, and then she would bring the gauze together.
After saying that, she took Karenin's hand and tried to make every step steady before moving forward.

in the bedroom.
The candlelight was quiet as if they didn't know that the snowflakes were flying wantonly outside.
The wound at the corner of her eye was healed. Anna sat in her chair and rubbed the bruise for Karenin with the shelled eggs.
”It's kind of funny.” She said suddenly, and then she began to laugh.
Unlike ordinary people, when he heard this, Karenin would subconsciously look at himself in the mirror. Instead, he raised his hand and took Anna's hand.
”Nothing serious, Anna.”
”I know.” Anna's smile suddenly narrowed and her voice was low.
”I'm sorry, I'm just a little worried,” she added, halfway through. ”I've been worried lately.”
”Was it because I was pregnant that I came back?”
Karenin did not nod or shake his head.
He took the eggs from Anna's hand and put them on the table.
”The snow is heavy, but I expect it will be some time.” ”You don't sleep well these days. Sometimes you kick the quilt at night. The doctor says that the temperature of pregnant people will be higher,” he said
Anna was stunned. She didn't know that she would kick the quilt when she went to bed recently. Anyway, when she woke up in the morning, she was warm and warm.
”You did a good job, Anna.” Karenin added.
Before meeting, some people were puzzled. He raised his hand and gently arranged some disordered hair for her.
Her cool fingers rubbed against her cheek and felt numb and itchy.
”The slippery ground.” He cautioned.
Anna smiles, her fingers on the back of Karenin's hand.
”I'm going to be a mother.” She said with a trace of pride.
”Yes.” Karenin also said with a low smile.
After a while, Mrs. Karenin's unique smile rang out in her bedroom.
”It looks silly.”
”I was hurt.”
”It's really funny. I'll never forget it in my life.”
Half ring, a helpless voice sounded.
”Will it diminish tomorrow?”
”No, but not so funny.”
Snow is still wanton, although it is not Christmas, but in this day, some hearts just seem more warm up.
