She had been rebuffed by Mrs. St. Clair, and after returning home, she inexplicably felt dizzy and nauseous. Upon examination, she discovered she was pregnant.
Based on the timing, it was undoubtedly Fintan's child.
Fintan was overjoyed at this news.
"Jolene, with this baby, Aunt and Uncle will surely forgive us for the sake of their grandchild."
Fintan wasn't wrong. Mr. St. Clair, who had been furious upon learning of their secret marriage and had called Jolene an ungrateful wretch, had no choice but to forgive them once he heard Jolene was carrying Fintan's child.
After all, it wasn't his own flesh that had been bitten by the dog. He could easily forgive Fintan; only when the knife pierces your own skin do you truly understand the pain.
Not only that, he even went to the hospital to persuade Mrs. St. Clair to let go of her grudges, suggesting that in the future, the whole family could gather together to make lasagna.
