It felt... bigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell?!\" she blurted out, sitting up in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion, lying beside her, startled awake and pushed himself up on his elbows. \"Rachel, what happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel turned to him, her eyes wide and close to tears. She pointed at her stomach with a trembling hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can it grow this fast? Why is it so much bigger than yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion stared at her for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew the truth; the process had been shortened to just a week, but he couldn’t tell her thanks to the system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead, he forced a light tone. \"Well, it seems my genes are just that strong. They must’ve sped everything up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s expression hardened. She immediately started hitting his chest like a punching bag. \"Don’t say it like that, you idiot!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion raised his arms to block her blows, chuckling despite himself. \"Hey, I’m serious. I don’t know what else it could be. What do you think, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel slowed, her hands dropping to her lap. She let out a long breath and looked down at her stomach again. \"I don’t know... but this isn’t normal. It’s really worrying me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion’s smile softened. He reached out and gently rubbed her stomach, then looked her in the eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, my wife. I’ll take care of you the whole time. You won’t have to handle this alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel narrowed her eyes at him, still uneasy. \"Are you sure about that? You’re really going to take care of me the entire time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded firmly, without hesitation. \"Of course. I swear it on my name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She studied him for a second, then gave a small nod. \"Good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without another word, she raised her hand and pointed toward the door. \"Then I’m staying in bed today. Go get me some food, Garion. Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion let out a short laugh, then quickly got off the bed. \"Yes, Miss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurried out of the room, leaving Rachel alone with her thoughts and her growing worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the next week, Garion didn’t train at all, not even once. It was all because of Rachel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of practicing, he spent his days doing whatever she asked of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every day, his only task was to carry trays of food back and forth to Rachel’s bedroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would stack several containers carefully in his arms, walk down the hall, and nudge the door open with his shoulder before stepping inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes he stayed a little longer than necessary; sometimes he came out quickly, but he always returned for more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, his disciples were completely stunned by the change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could they not be? Their master was someone who trained no matter what happened. Seeing him abandon his routine like that felt wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara leaned forward slightly, her brows knitting together in confusion. \"Is that really Master? Why hasn’t he trained at all?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Valtor crossed his arms, his expression uneasy. \"Yeah... this doesn’t feel right. Something’s off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the back of the group, Dahlia stood quietly, listening but saying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze remained steady, watching Garion in the distance as he walked past again with another tray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara noticed her silence and turned. \"You’re not saying anything? You’re usually the first to comment about Master and Elder Rachel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia didn’t look at her. Her voice was low and calm. \"He’s doing what he should be doing right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara raised an eyebrow. \"That’s it? That’s all you have to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia nodded once. \"What else should I say? I don’t like their relationship, but I still have my principles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a quiet snort, folding her arms. \"And now that Rachel is pregnant, it’s not right to talk behind her back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back to Clara, staring at her. \"If there’s something to say, it should be said when she’s well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara blinked, then suddenly clapped her hands together with a grin. \"Wow, you really are different, senior sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her finger, stating it as a fact. \"Most people would gossip even more when someone’s sick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia turned her head away with a soft huff. \"Don’t compare me to others. Hmph.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bedroom, Rachel kept eating the food Garion brought in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plate after plate disappeared, yet her hunger never seemed to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion paused by the table, watching her finish another serving. A thought crossed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that because of the accelerated pregnancy, your energy is being used up much faster now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel glanced at the stack of empty plates, her brows drawing together. She rested a hand on her stomach, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I keep feeling hungry, no matter how much I eat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion noticed her expression and gave a small, reassuring smile. He stepped closer and gently set another plate in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s because of the child in your stomach. It has my genes, so of course it’s strong. That’s why it needs so much energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nudged the plate toward her. \"You’ll need to eat more to give it the best nutrition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel let out a soft sigh but didn’t argue. She picked up her utensils again and continued eating the food Garion had prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, something seemed to occur to her. She slowed, then turned to him with a faint smile. \"You’re really going to stay with me the whole time, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion lifted his head slightly, meeting her gaze without hesitation. \"Of course I am. I already told you, didn’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel hesitated, her smile fading just a little. \"But you won’t be able to train while you’re taking care of me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed softly and waved a hand, brushing off her concern. \"Don’t worry about that. You’re more important than training.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rachel’s shoulders relaxed, and she smiled again, warmer this time. \"Thank you, Garion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion returned the smile, calm and steady. But what Rachel didn’t know was that he had already calculated the time in his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missing a week of training would slow him down, but it was manageable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, staying by her side mattered more.\u003C\u002Fp>",1024,"2026-06-06T11:12:30.898Z",1,"novelbin.me","8104a4755a6e7a47e092e187558c015562c26b84df0b8851663bf034740f860d","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-510","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-508",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
