Collateral Damage J
Julie looked at Nicole speechlessly. “You’re going to give birth in a few months. Isn’t it a little too late to
be scared now?” Nicole pursed her lips and touched her chest. She could feel her heart pounding.” Well,
I didn’t expect it to be so scary at first! I kinda regret it now…”
Of course, Nicole did not dare to tell Clayton this. Thinking of Clayton, Nicole suddenly remembered.
“You should go in first. I’ll give Clayton a call.” Julie let go of Nicole’s hand. They were already at the door
to the ward, so they were just a few steps apart.
“At this time, you still want to talk to Mr. Sloan? You’re just pregnant, but you have to report every little
thing to him? The Global Hospital Research Association should definitely have your name on it!” 000 8C
Nicole ignored Julie’s sarcastic remark and anxiously told her to hurry inside.
Julie stopped teasing Nicole and turned to go inside to see Aida. Nicole called Clayton and only told him
that Aida was in labor. She did not say anything else. There was a few seconds of silence on the phone.
Clayton sighed before he gently coaxed her.
“Wait for me there. I’ll be there in a few minutes, okay?” Nicole hung up the phone, feeling content. She
also felt that she had made a bit of a fuss. However, Nicole really could not help it. She felt that she was
too sensitive during her pregnancy.
It did not matter what others said. When she wanted to see Clayton, she hadt o see him and could not
wait. Aida’s cries in the ward died down. Kai said a few words, which made everyone laugh. Even Grant
could not help but laugh. O
Nicole heard this and felt that she was in a better mood before she walked in. OO Aida looked at Nicole
with a pale face. Her eyes were still gentle. She just looked a little tired. “Why are all of you here?” Nicole
smiled and walked over.
“We must let the little baby see the whole family at first glance!” Aida glanced at Grant with a scowl. The
doctor said that it won’t be so soon. We may have to wait a day or two. He was the one who made a fuss
because I said that my stomach hurts.
He insisted on coming to the hospital.” Grant had a helpless expression. His eyes were filled with doting
affection. “Dad said that we can’t be careless. If we don’t come to the hospital, how can we be assured?”
Floyd nodded at the side.
“That’s right.” С During this time, the doctor came over to do rounds and gave Aida a checkup. All
indicators were very normal, but the due date was brought up. The doctor then told them to pay extra
attention to Aida’s condition. Aida just felt embarrassed for making such a big fuss, especially when she
saw that the pregnant Nicole also came. Aida felt even more guilty for that. “You guys should go back.
The hospital has a really strong disinfectant smell. Lil N won’t be used to it.” Kai laughed. “It’s okay, Aida.
She’ll havet o adapt to this sooner or later.” Nicole smiled and looked at Kai. “Yes, it’s good to let Kai
adapt to this too. Otherwise, he’ll be such a mess when Julie gives birth.”
Kai’s face stiffened, and he glared at Nicole fiercely. ЕС Nicole did not flinch. Julie covered her forehead
and looked helpless. When two siblings were at war, the bystanders would become collateral damage.
Not long after, Mr. Anderson rushed to the hospital holding a red sandalwood box. “Chairman…”
Floyd took it with satisfaction and handed it to Aida. “Here, this is a little token of appreciation from me.
Keep it. It’s not easy to have a child, so consider this a small meeting gift for the little one.” Aida was
stunned and looked up at Grant. Grant frowned.
“Dad, the baby’s not even born yet…” Floyd rolled his eyes. “Why can’t I give Aida presents before the
baby is born? I can give her gifts whenever I want! If I give it now, Aida will have more strength t o give
birth!”
