Chapter 1125


    Jacqueline pursed her lips and said nothing else.


    Soon, the van drove off and disappeared on the horizon. It was as if it were never there.


    Meanwhile, in a small hospital ten kilometers away from the razed industrial area.


    A pleasant-looking young woman in her twenties was entering a ward with a thermal food jar in her


    hand.


    When the nurse in the room saw her, she smiled at her. “Ms. Rivers, you''re here.”


    “Yes. I''ve made some soup for him so that he can drink it when he wakes.” Lucy Rivers nced at the


    man who was in a hospital gown with a pale face. There were bandages around his head, but the


    bandages could not hide the fact that he was a handsome man.


    At that, the nurse teased, “Ms. Rivers, you''re really sweet to your boyfriend.”


    At the mention of him being her boyfriend, Lucy''s heart raced. She blushed, and she lowered her head.


    “O-Of course. He''s my boyfriend, after all,” she replied, a trace of guilt flickering past her eyes.


    Nevertheless, the nurse did not notice it. She closed the medical records and said, “You''re a very nice


    woman, and your boyfriend is lucky to have you. All right. I won''t disturb you and your boyfriend


    anymore. I''ll take my leave now.”


    “All right, bye.” Lucy nodded.


    Once the nurse was gone, Lucy and the man on the bed were the only ones left in the ward.


    Lucy breathed out a sigh of relief. After putting the food jar at the side of the bed, she lowered her head


    and stared at the man.


    She had lied earlier. The man on the bed was not her boyfriend. She had found him by the side of the


    river when she was on her way home after visiting her rtives.


    She had never seen a man so handsome, so she had fallen for him at first sight. It was then she


    brought him into her car and drove him back to the town she grew up in.


    She did not know who the man was nor what his name was.


    There was nothing on him to identify who he was either, so she could not contact his family.


    However, that was good news for her. Although she did not know what brand of clothes he was


    wearing, she could tell from the quality that they must be expensive.


    In other words, the man was surely someone rich or famous. If she contacted his family, his family


    might take him away. That way, she would not be able to see him anymore.


    Even though she knew it was selfish to keep him with her, she was fine with it after telling herself it was


    for the sake of her love life.


    With that thought in mind, she reached out to touch the man''s brows and thin lips. Then, she began


    fantasizing about the man looking at her with a gentle gaze as he kissed her.


    Overseas, in a hospital.


    After a few hours of surgery, Natalie was finally out of danger. The doctors had sessfully gotten the


    baby out of her as well.


    The baby was only six months old and was over half a size smaller than a regr, nine months baby.


    Moreover, the baby waspletely red, and it was obvious that the child''s limbs had just finished


    developing. Even the baby''s cries were like a kitten''s mewls. If they did not strain their ears, they would


    not hear it.


    Lina and the others stood outside the neonatal intensive care unit, watching the baby in the incubator


    through the ss window. Their hearts thumped loudly against their ribcages.


    “The baby''s so small. Will he really survive?” Sally mumbled.


    Ss cleared his throat. “What are you talking about?”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “I know I shouldn''t say that, but the baby''s so small. He''s almost the size of a kitten. I really...”


    Sally could not finish her sentence, but still, Ss and Lina knew what she was trying to say.


    Indeed, the boy should havee four monthster, but he hade four months earlier. Although


    the nurse had told them that as long as the baby was healthy, he would be out of the incubator once he


    was nine months old.


    However, when theynded their gazes on the fragile baby, confidence was something they did not


    have.


    If Mr. Shane is gone, and the baby goes with him, I can''t imagine what will Nat be, they thought.


    Right then, the sound of two people''s footsteps traveled into their ears.


    When the three people turned around, they realized it was Connor and Sharon running toward them,


    their hands linked.
