CHAPTER 142
CEO
He was reminding Nina. Her own husband should be managed well, and she shouldnât let others take advantage of her.
Nina didnât want Grandpa George to worry about her relationship with Nash while he was ill, so she smiled and said, âI know, Nash has already talked to me about it. Grandpa George, itâs getting late, and itâs chilly outside. Letâs go back in.â
âOkay.â Grandpa George understood and didnât say anything more.
Nina escorted Grandpa George back to his hospital room, bid him farewell, and was debating whether or not to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. But Linda happened to call her, âNina, could you come to the hospital? I have something to discuss with you.â
Nina decided to go after all.
Quincy was standing guard at the door and seemed bewildered when he saw Nina approaching, as if he was afraid of her coming here.
âNina, why are you here?â Quincy forced a smile.
Nina remained calm and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
âWell, maybe you should call Mr. York first and have him come overâ¦â Quincy was cautious, which made Nina suspicious. âIs there something I shouldnât know about?â
Quincy hesitated whether to tell her, but looking at Linda in the hospital room, he sighed, âYouâd better go in by yourself.â
Nina turned her head and looked at Linda inside. She didnât seem to be in good condition, but she was smiling and seemed quite happy.
âNina, youâre here.â Linda looked up. âI was about to get out of bed, but Mr. York instructed me to rest properly, so I decided not to get up to greet you.â
Listening to this, Quincy found the conversation to be somewhat pretentious. How did he not realize it before?â
Nina felt uncomfortable hearing this but didnât show any emotion on her face. She asked formally, âWhere did you fall?â
âI just suffered some minor injuries.â Linda smiled faintly. âItâs nothing serious.â
Minor injuries but requiring hospitalization?
âIâm just pregnant!â
The words shocked Nina. She looked at Linda in disbelief.
Pregnant? How could that be possible!
Linda received Ninaâs shocked gaze and knew what kind of expression she would have. But the fact remained and she continued, âThe baby in my womb is just over a month old. The doctor mentioned my health isnât great and Iâmdacking in nutrition, which could impact the babyâs health. Mr. York insisted I stay in the hospital to ensure the well-being of the baby.â
Quincy knew about this situation
and hesitated whether to tell Nina or not. Mr. York had impregnated
another woman outside, and as his legitimate wife, Nina would
el.
eventually find out about it. It was better not to hide it now than to be hib with the news later. She needed to be mentally prepared.
Ninaâs gaze turned to Quincy, who looked embarrassed, and he said, âLinda⦠is indeed pregnant.â
Nina was a little puzzled. How could she and Linda be pregnant at the same time? Did Linda really have a night with Nash?
Linda seized the opportunity and said, âThis time, Iâm carrying Mr. Yorkâs child. Nina shouldnât object now, right?â
She had always regarded Nina as a rival in love, believing that Ninaâs interference had caused her to grow distant from Mr. York. Perhaps now that she was pregnant with Mr Yorkâs child, she would let her guard down and stop being suspicious of her.
Linda had been examined in the hospital, so her claim was undoubtedly true. Nina looked at Linda again and asked, âHow long have you known Mr. York?â
Linda must have had a reason to conceive Mr. Yorkâs child. If it wasnât that night, then it was some other night.
Linda hadnât quite grasped the situation yet, but prompted by Ninaâs question, she replied, âThough not as long as Nina, Iâve known him for some time.â
Then, she turned to Quincy and said with a smile, âQuincy, could you step out? Iâd like to have a private chat with Nina.â
