Nell listened to her with a blank expression.
Just as the doctor was about to be done with the examination, she suddenly asked, “Doctor, earlier you said, how old is the baby?”
The doctor answered, “Four and a half weeks.”
Nell calculated in her head. “Four and a half weeks is one and a half months. So, he will only be born after more than eight months, right?”
The doctor chuckled upon hearing her question. “Yes, that’s right. Why? You can’t wait to see the baby?”
The doctor paused, and continued, “Anyway, don’t get too anxious about it. It’s better to take it slowly, you being anxious will not help anybody.”
Tears welled silently in Nell’s eyes. She tried her best to tighten her lips. “Yes, I understand.”
After they were done with the ultrasound, the doctor handed her the pregnancy results and said, “I will prescribe you some prenatal vitamins, remember to eat them on time. Also, make sure you attend regular check-ups, and don’t be careless. Mr. Leith is a good man with good karma, he will certainly wake up, so don’t worry too much about him.”
When the doctor saw Nell’s downcast face, she let out a sigh. She encouraged her, “Even if something does go wrong, you still have this child. For the sake of your child, you must be strong, okay?”
Nell lowered her head and forced herself to smile. She nodded, “I know. Thank you, doctor.”
After that, she left.
Nell returned to the third floor with the pregnancy results. Gideon was still in the operating theatre.
By then, Matthew Starks had arrived.
Actually, Matthew Starks had been in Country F for the past two days. However, he was managing other matters, so he did not remain by Gideon’s side.
When he heard that Gideon Leith had been injured, Matthew almost jumped out of his skin. He immediately sprinted to the hospital.
When he saw that the sign on the operating theatre was still lit, he could not help but ask, “How is Mr. President?”
Someone explained to him, “Still not out yet.”
Matthew frowned in worry.
He turned around and saw Nell. Although he was a worried wreck himself, he still walked to her and said, “Missus, don’t worry too much, Mr. President will surely be able to turn the tide.”
Nell nodded.
Matthew’s sharp eyes immediately saw the pregnancy results in her hand.
He was stunned.
Missus was pregnant?
Sometimes, life could be so unpredictable. Of all times, Nell Jennings had to get pregnant just as Gideon Leith was injured.
He quickly comforted her. “Missus, you have to relax for the sake of your child. If you are tired, please take a rest. Once your husband wakes up, I will let you know.”
Nell shook her head.
“No, I want to wait for him here.”
In the past, no matter what happened, she could stay strong.
This time, however, looking at the lit sign on top of the operating theatre, Nell could not muster a single ounce of strength. Her mind was jumbled, and she did not know what to do.
She was truly afraid, so afraid that she dared not imagine, what would she do if Gideon Leith did not wake up?
It was her fault that he ended up in this situation. If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened today.
If something did happen to him, how would she be able to live with herself for the rest of her life?
Matthew watched her in contemplation. He knew that he could not change her mind, so he did not say anything.
After a long time, Nell suddenly spoke up. “Matthew, I’m fine, you can go.”
Matthew was flabbergasted. He replied piped up, “I’m not going to leave. How could I? I want to stay here and protect you!”
Nell shook her head. “I don’t need protection. Go, help Bailey out.”
When he heard her instructions, Matthew was slightly surprised.
The people around quickly held her up. Nell waved her hand. “I’m fine, just let me sit for a while.”
Everyone knew that she was pregnant now, and that she was simply holding herself up through sheer willpower. Now that she knew Gideon would be fine, she of course needed to rest.
They quickly ordered someone to prepare a room and helped her to go rest.
At this time, on the other side.
On the interstate.
A woman wearing a black bodysuit stood on the rooftop, staring at the lights underneath her feet. Her lips curled coldly.
Twenty minutes ago, she tried to leave the city, only to find that all the exits had been blocked. The entire city was searching for her whereabouts.
Right now, her name was on the wanted list. She was now a wanted criminal.
The moment she revealed herself, she would be caught.
Thinking of this, the corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.
As expected from Gideon Leith’s inner circle, the modus was the same and just as ruthless.
She could not help but remember that late night many years ago, when she tried her best to leave China. Those people had used the exact same method to stop her.
They blocked all the exits in the capital and intercepted the flight she was on. Then, she was captured.
That night, she endured the most unimaginable and painful experience in the world.
She watched with her own eyes, as her father jumped off the building. The height was similar to where she stood right now.
She struggled with all her might, screeching and howling, wanting to grab on to her father’s clothes, but she just could not move.
Those people were just like devils. They grabbed her body fiercely.
How could they simply sit back and watch as a living person jumped from such a high place!
