Chapter 717 Suspicion


    "Okay." Mandy nodded, but in her heart, she wanted to try to conceive sooner. She really could not wait


    to have another baby. Although she wanted to have another baby so that Adrian could have a younger


    sibling to grow up with, Mandy was a little afraid to get pregnant again. Because of what Adrian had


    gone through, she was afraid that her second baby would go through the same ordeal. After she


    married Nathan, children became the center of their family. Now that she was not sure yet whether or


    not Eve did try to harm Adrian that one time, she could not bear thinking about giving birth to another


    child to protect.


    On the other hand, Nathan was happy. A smile appeared on his tight, serious face. He did not expect


    that Mandy would recover so quickly, which meant that they could have their Seven soon.


    When Nathan was about to ask John about the bacteria, he heard a distant ringing sound. Someone


    was ringing the doorbell.


    Lillian went to check who was at the door using the security cameras. Seeing Nacy and Simon at the


    doorstep, she opened the door for them with a smile.


    After dinner, Simon and Nacy had gone for a walk along the path. They held each other''s hand and


    decided toe by Nathan and Mandy''s ce.


    "Brother, sister-inw," Nacy smiled and said softly. Standing beside Simon, Nacy looked like an


    innocent, sweet girl.


    "Our honorabledy, what brings you here tonight?" Nathan raised his eyebrows and said lightly.


    "I''ve missed you so much. I know you''re busy and don''t have time to see us, so I figured I''de and


    see you," Nacy replied, ignoring Nathan''s teasing. She sat on the sofa like she was at her own home.


    Nathan squinted his eyes. He knew what was on her mind, even if Nacy did not tell him. She came


    here to know more about the perfume.


    "Well, your timing has never been more impable. Dr. Chen is here tonight. You can ask him to


    check you out and prescribe some medicine for you. I''ve been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a


    month, and my body has been getting better and better." Mandy smiled at Nacy.


    With a gentle look on his face, John stood up. Nacy was one of the country''s hottest stars. The news of


    her pregnancy and miscarriage spread all over the nation like wildfire a few days ago.


    "Really? Is it really that effective?" Simon''s eyes lit up, and a smile tugged on the corner of his mouth.


    "Well, it''s time for you two to try and have a baby again. Look at Adrian, he''s already four years old,"


    Nathan joked with good intentions.


    Nacy might have thought too much or felt really sad if someone else said that to her face, but when she


    heard it from Nathan, she felt a little different.


    Nacy looked around and did not find Adrian. Then, she looked at Nathan and asked, "Speaking of


    whom, where is Adrian?"


    "He''s in his bedroom, ying with building blocks," Mandy replied with a gentle but proud smile on her


    face. They were consulting with Dr. Chen tonight, so Mandy sent Adrian to his bedroom to y. He was


    only a child, and it was not good for him to be around conversing adults.

    "Let me check your pulse, Ms. Jin," John gently said, walking over to Nacy with a smile.


    Nacy nodded and said, "All right."


    Then, she stretched out her hand while John gently put two fingers on her right wrist. He frowned and


    then checked her left pulse about a minuteter.


    John''s face went a little pale, and his brows knit tightly. It made everyone around him worry deeply.


    It would be much more difficult to treat Nacy than Mandy. At this point, she had a cold womb and a thin


    uterine wall lining after the abortion. The only thing she could do now was to use some medical tonic to


    help her uteruspletely recover and get stronger. It was not an easy task to treat a cold womb, and


    the treatment would take at least three months. What was more, the sess of the treatment could not


    be guaranteed. John had never had such a troublesome case before.


    John looked into Nacy''s eyes as he frowned and asked, "Ms. Jin, have you been suffering from severe


    dysmenorrhea?"


    Nacy nodded and said, "Yes, I have. But I didn''t use to have it. I was ignorant of my health when I was


    younger. I remember when I was still attending school. I would eat ice cream even when I had my


    period. I nursed that habit for a few years until one day, I got dysmenorrhea and basically had it ever


    since. It was getting bettertely but still a little painful."


    "Have you tried treating it with medicine before?"


    "Yes, I''ve taken some medicine to improve my health, but they''re too bitter. I don''t like it when I drink


    them. So, I gave up the treatment."


    "Good medicine is often bitter. It''s good for your health. You should take the medicine when it is


    necessary. Well, I''ll write you a prescription and send the medicine to your house tomorrow."


    "All right then. Thank you, Dr. Chen." Nacy smiled kindly. She was very unlike herself long ago—a bitter


    lady who got angry at trivial things.


    Nathan looked at her and wondered what was wrong with her today. Why was she being so kind and


    gentle? It was confusing.


    "Dr. Chen, do you know anything about bacterial research and experiments?" Mandy asked directly.


    John frowned and replied in confusion, "Bacterial research and experiments? Yes, I know a little bit


    about them, but... Well, why are you asking about them anyway?"


    "I''m just a little worried... Dr. Chen, have you ever heard of a type of bacteria that enters the human


    body system and sits there to incubate for a few months? The patient will remain asymptomatic during


    the entire incubation time and won''t show symptoms until it is already toote to do something to flush


    out the bacteria from the body. It is tricky to treat because the patient won''tin of anything until


    the bacteria has grown too strong. Most patients die from the infection," Mandy asked in a calm tone,


    but her face looked sullen.


    "Yes, I''ve heard of that kind of bacteria, but acquiring it is strictly prohibited by the government. No one


    is allowed to study it here because it''s too dangerous. Again, why are you asking about it?" John was a


    little confused. He himself did not have the chance to learn bacterial experimentation. More than twenty


    years ago, when he was in medical school, he did not like the course. He always thought that he would


    nevere in contact with such little yet evil things.


    "I suspect that Eve has injected some kind of bacteria into Adrian''s arm when she took him away from


    me without my permission. She secretly went to pick him up from kindergarten school and took him


    away. After a long time, she brought Adrian back home but with a needle mark in his arm. I''ve been


    worrying about that needle mark ever since."


    "What? A needle mark?" Nacy asked in a sharp tone. She suddenly became angry.


    "We don''t have evidence that she did it. We don''t even know where the needle mark came from.


    Maybe I''m just being paranoid." Mandy bit her lip. She looked uneasy.


    Staring at Mandy with his calm, dark eyes, Nathan opened his mouth and said carefully, "Don''t stress


    yourself out over this, honey. If Eve really did it, I would soon find out. I will expose her and make her


    and her family die as revenge for Adrian."


    "That''s right. She is a vicious woman. We won''t let her get away with his, Mandy. You can count on


    that. My brother and I will make sure of it." Nacy spoke confidently, determination and ruthlessness


    suddenly twisting her beautiful features. Adrian was her favorite nephew, and as long as she was


    breathing, nobody would hurt him without going through her.
