Seeing Nina in this state, Nash could not help but furrow his brows. “Didn’t you go to the hospital for a check-up?””Yeah, they gave me some medicine and I’m taking it.”A shiver ran down Nina’s spine, her throat constricted. She avoided meeting Nash’s piercing black eyes, afraid he might see through her.Nash’s frown deepened. “It’s been a day or two since you went. What did they prescribe? Let me ask Caleb. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have him bring you something else.”The doctor prescribed calcium and folic acid tablets, which Nina had already swapped out. If she showed them to Caleb, being a doctor, he’d spot the switch right away! Nina had to change the subject. “It’s only been a day or two, like you said. It’s not that quick. And didn’t you give me a box of stomach medicine last time?”Nash recalled.Seeing Nash’s silence, Nina swiftly placed the coffee on his desk. “This time I didn’t add rose petals. See if you like it. Oh, I just remembered, I need to go to the room to tidy up some things.””Okay,” Nash replied, keeping his words brief.

I’m still in my twenties, and I’m perfectly healthy. Do you really need me to show you my medical report?” en.swhovels.netNash observed the determination in Nina’s eyes and responded, “Still, let Caleb take a look at it.”Nash placed the pills he held on the bedside table for Nina.Nina hesitated to involve Caleb. After all, Caleb was a top expert at the hospital. If she sought his advice, wouldn’t he discover her pregnancy?”I don’t want to go to Caleb. I’vealready seen a doctor, and there’s nothing major. The doctor told me it’s just stress, overthinking, and not eating on time. I’m scared of Ads by PubFuture
