Chapter 348

Jonny had given her some strong meds. There were bound to be some consequences.

Sure enough, Kayla was already feeling uncomfortable even though her period was still five days away. Her lower abdomen kept aching with adu nagging pain.

“Honey?” Tuff noticed Kayla spacing out and waved a hand before her face, trying to get her attention.

Kayla snapped back to reality. “What if your grandma starts pressuring us to have a kid?”

“Don’t worry about it,” Tuff said with a reassuring smile, though a deep ache twisted in his chest. ‘If Kayla ever found out she couldn’t have kids, would she cry?‘

Tuff had made arrangements in advance, so Kayla wouldn’t have to worry. He hoped their trip back to Lunova would go smoothly.

“Do you want to have kids?” Kayla asked in a gentle voice.

“If Tuff wants a baby, I’d give him one, no matter what. Even if my health’s a mess,

I’d

still take the chance for him,‘ Kayla thought.

“Nope.” Tuff shrugged with a look of distaste. “We just got married, and I’m not done enjoying our time alone yet!”

Kayla’s cheeks flushed. “You’re impossible…”

“Did you like the way we did it last night?” Tuff leaned in with a cheeky grin.

Kayla just turned on her heel and walked off, ignoring him.

Tuff was about to chase after her and keep sweet–talking, but the doorbell suddenly rang.

“Who is it?” Tuff called out impatiently.

He stomped over to the door, clearly annoyed.

Tuff immediately tensed up when he saw Landon standing outside with a grim expression. “What’s wrong?”

“Is Kayla okay?” Landon asked.

‘Is he here to beat me up?‘ Tuff wondered.

Tuff quickly reassured him, “She’s fine! Seriously, she’s doing great!”

“Mr. Mitchell is giving Daniel a hard time,” Landon said as he walked inside, filling Tuff in on what was going on.

Tuff was stunned. “Why’s Mr. Mitchell acting like that?”

“Has Mr. Rumsfeld, your master, been putting any pressure on you?” Landon asked,

“Nope! He has been missing for six months,” Tuff replied.

Tuff and Landon had joined the Flying Tiger Sect at the same time, but each had a different master. Landon was Larry’s student, while Tull learned from Alfredo Rumsfeld.

Both Larry and Alfredo were top elders in the flying Tiger Sect.

Landor paused, then said, “Ask Mr. Ruinsfeld about the Mystic Sect

“Alright,” Landon replied.

Tuff dialed Alfredo right away.

Alfredo was known for being funny and easygoing, so Tuff figured he wouldn’t run into any trouble. But to Tuff’s surprise, Alfredo said, “Cling technology is crucial. We need Joanna’s help.”

‘Damn, this is bad!‘ Tuff thought.

Tuff was confused as he said, “Mr. Rumsfeld, you can’t hold Landon’s resignation hostage over this. Threatening the Zuckerb right.”

“We’re giving the Zuckerberg family some respect, Tuff. If Joanna doesn’t come willingly, we’ve got other ways to make it imp

Tuff was speechless.

He threw up his hands, exasperated, and suggested to Landon, “How about we let Joanna bring cloned Porter back herself?”

eplied.

“There’s no way I can explain this to the Zuckerberg family,” Landon snapped, frustration clear in his voice. “I’ve got responsibilities, but it’s not the Zuckerberg family’s problem to solve.”

“Yeah, you’re right, but…” Tuff let out a long sigh. “Honestly, Mr. Rumsfeld is looking out for us.”

Landon pressed his lips together, still fuming.

“Think about it. What would happen if our masters bypassed us and directly arrested Joanna?” Tuff said.

Landon tensed up. “That’d be a disaster!”

“Exactly! So let’s talk to Joanna. Who knows, maybe she’ll agree. It’s just about research right now. They’re not planning to treat cloned Porter like some lab rat,” said Tuff. “I can do it if you don’t want to bring it up.”

“No, let me handle it,” Landon replied, thinking about Kayla’s situation. He wanted to talk to Joanna himself.

Joanna had just started turning her life around. They couldn’t back her into a corner now.

Landon glanced at the pile of gifts on the table, grabbed one at random, and asked, “When are you heading back to Lunova?”

“Tomorrow,” Tuff replied.

“Look after Kayla for me,” Landon said.

Tuff grinned. “Relax! I’ll also check in on Joanna when I get back and see if I can stall things a bit.”

“Sounds good. By the time you’re done, the wedding day of Daniel and Edith has also arrived. Amy and I will come in a few days. Why not let Landen stay in Norava for a bit?” Landon suggested.

“No need. My son’s not someone I need to hide,” Tuff replied.

Standing outside the bedroom door, Kayla smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen, and she doubled over, clutching her stomach.

It took her a full three minutes to catch her breath and straighten up.

Her face was pale, and panic gripped her. ‘What if this messed up my body? What if I can’t have kids anymore?‘ she worried.

It would be hasty if she went to the hospital today, but once they got to Lunova, she knew she’d have to get checked out again.

Chapter 348

Tuff set off for Lunova with his wife and little son the next morning.

On the way, Landen was buzzing with excitement. “Daddy, is Lunova fun? I’ve never been there before!”

“Oh, it’s awesome! Lunova has the biggest amusement park in the whole country. I’ll take you there orice your great–grandma’s birthday is over Th

said with a grin.

“Yay! Mommy has to come, too!” Landen grabbed Kayla’s arm. “Our whole family will go together!”

Kayla’s stomach twisted with pain again, but she managed a smile. “Sure!”

“Yay! This is the best!” Landen cheered.

Landen was so happy that he started waving his arms and jumping.

Getting to play together as a family was what he’d always wished for.

It was just a dream before, but it was finally coming true!

“Kayla, you don’t look good. What’s wrong?” Tuff finally noticed something was off and asked.

Kayla didn’t want him to worry, so she shook her head and said, “Just a bit airsick. I’m fine.”

“Want an orange?” Tuff immediately pulled an orange out of his bag and started peeling it for her.

The unique fragrance of the orange peel tickled her senses, and Kayla felt a little better. She leaned against Tuff and mumbled, “Can we stay at a hotel for a bit before going home?”

“The rooms at home are all ready for us. You’ll be comfortable, I promise. Grandma can’t wait to see you,” Tuff said with a grin. “What’s wrong? Is my fearless general suddenly getting shy?”
