Chapter 1699 There Is Always A Solution
“That's good.” Caitlin felt relieved when she heard what Joyce said. “It's great to eat well.
Otherwise, your body wouldn't be able to handle it, and it wouldn't be good for the child in
your belly.”
“Yeah.” Joyce nodded.
Caitlin looked at her and said, “It's good you have a milder reaction now. Perhaps after
some time, your reaction will disappear completely.”
“I asked the doctor and was told that I will feel much better after three months,” Joyce
said as she sipped her chicken soup.
Caitlin smiled and nodded. “That's right, the first three months of pregnancy are the
hardest for women. Once they pass the first trimester, everything will get better.”
“Yeah,” Joyce replied.
Quietly, Caitlin gently gazed at Joyce as the latter ate.
After Joyce finished her chicken soup, Caitlin stood up, took the bowl from her hands, and
asked, “Do you want more?”
Joyce shook her head in response. “No, that's enough for me. I'll be too full for dinner later

“Indeed,” Caitlin replied.
Then, Joyce looked at her and asked, “By the way, Mom, did you send the chicken soup to
Mr. Quinn?”
As Caitlin tidied up the dishes, her smile faded slightly as she replied, “Of course I did.
How can I not? No matter what, he ended up in the hospital because of us. You looked
after him before this and provided him with meals. Even though you're not looking after
him now, we still need to do what we should. I know this much, at least.”
“That's good.” Caitlin felt relieved when she heard what Joyce said. “It's great to eat well.
Otherwise, your body wouldn't be able to handle it, and it wouldn't be good for the child in
your belly.”
Joyce raised her chin slightly and said, “I knew you're the most considerate person, Mom.”
Hearing that, Caitlin chuckled and poked her on the forehead. “You sure know how to
flatter.”
Joyce covered her aching forehead and let out a playful chuckle.
At that moment, Caitlin suddenly thought of something. She put the clean dishes and
utensils into the basket she had brought and looked at Joyce. Then, she asked solemnly,
“By the way, Joyce, did something happen between you and him these past few days?”
Joyce's smile faltered, then she lowered her eyes and asked, “What do you mean, Mom?”
“Did you two have another argument?” Caitlin asked and continued, “Though I haven't
visited you every single day, I've been here about three times. I've noticed that the
atmosphere between you and him seems off.”
Joyce never expected her mom would notice the issues between her and Stanley. Biting
her lower lip, she forced a smile as she replied, “Mom, I haven't seen him for a few days.
How did you know that something's off between us?”
“You guys haven't met, but I went to see him, and I could feel it,” said Caitlin.
Joyce pinched her palm and stopped talking.
Oh, I see.
Caitlin stared at Joyce, who had her head down and could tell what Joyce was thinking. She
sighed, “As I suspected, there's a problem between you two. Joyce, tell me, what exactly
happened between you two? You know that he doesn't have positive feelings toward the
Rivers family. I'm just afraid that in a fit of anger, he might...”

She knew what her mom was going to say.
Unsurprisingly, she was worried about offending Stanley and that he would hurt the child
in her belly and her dad again.
Caitlin frowned with concern. “How sure are you that he won't?”
Joyce's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. “He said so himself. Although he didn't say it
outright, I know he won't.”
“Are you sure?” Caitlin furrowed her brows.
Joyce lightly pursed her lips and fell silent.
In fact, she didn't even know why she felt Stanley wouldn't do such a thing.
It was simply her Intuition.
Noticing Joyce's silence, Caitlin sighed. “Forget it. It doesn't matter whether he would or
not. We shouldn't be afraid. There is always a solution to every problem.”
Joyce squeezed a smile and hummed in response.
Subsequently, she spoke again. “Oh right, Mom, I have good news to share.”
“Oh?” Caitlin asked curiously, “What is it?”
“Stanley will probably have to leave here for some time,” Joyce said with a smile.
