The moment Mersha said it, the group fell silent. No one had expected the baby to be a girl.
Clara blinked, still trying to process it. "So… are you saying Master's child is a girl?"
Valtor raised a brow, a faint grin forming. "Haha… really?"
Seira tilted her head slightly, thoughtful. "If it's a girl… I can teach her something."
Dahlia didn't say anything, but her arms tightened just a little, her gaze sharpening.
Mersha looked at all of them and gave a short nod. "Yeah, it is. And so… bye. I've got an experiment to run."
Without another word, she turned and walked off, leaving them behind in stunned silence.
A moment later, the door opened again. Garion stepped out, followed closely by Rachel.
In Rachel's arms was a small, wrapped baby.
But what surprised them more wasn't the child; it was Rachel.
She looked… fine. Healthy. Nothing like before.
Rachel noticed their stares and frowned slightly. "What? Did you expect me to stay in bed?"
