Chapter 273


    At the VIP ward of the Maternal and Child Health Hospital.


    Hansen sat beside Jenna and held her hand tightly. His gaze remained riveted upon her. He did not


    move at all and remained in the same position even though he was drenched in sweat.


    The doctor examined Jenna and inserted a tube, yet he did not give any response.

    Her hands were as cold as ice and her face was so pale. She remained unconscious although the


    doctor had already infused multiple bottles of IV fluids.


    Hansen''s eyes were fixed upon her.


    He finally understood why she acted weirdly.


    No wonder she kept vomiting and craved pickles. No wonder she was fatigued all the time and only


    wanted to sleep. No wonder she didn''t want to have sex with him. She was pregnant!


    It seemed that she knew she was pregnant a long time ago!


    However, why did she keep it a secret from him?


    He always wanted to have a child with her.


    He chided himself for not guessing that she was pregnant all this while. How could he be so dull-


    witted?


    Why did she keep it a secret from him? What was she thinking? He must question her once she


    wakes up.


    This was not a trivial matter. She was pregnant, yet she became malnourished and almost lost her


    child right under his nose. It was ridiculous!


    His posture was rigid and he held her hand tightly. He dared not touch her for fear of hurting or


    disturbing both her and the child.


    It wasn''t until the doctor reassured him repeatedly that Jenna was all right that he heaved a sigh of


    relief.


    The more he stared at her, the more his heart ached!


    He was overjoyed when he heard the news but soon, he was filled with anguish.


    Was he really incapable to give her the sense of security and love she needed?


    Upon awakening, Jenna caught a glimpse of the white sheets before the bright light blinded her.


    The pungent smell of disinfectant made her realize that she was in a hospital.


    She was startled and sat up abruptly in shock.


    She was in the hospital. Did everyone already know that she was pregnant?


    "Jenna, you are awake." A voice rang. It was filled with joy. Her hand was held tightly by someone.


    She turned her head around.


    It was Hansen, the person she least wanted to see at the moment.


    He looked tired and haggard, nothing like the handsome young man he was just a few days ago.


    Nevertheless, he looked at her with wet and ecstatic eyes. Jenna''s heart quivered at the sight of


    this.


    She did not dare to imagine how it would be like once he lost hope.


    "Why am I here?" She tried to withdraw her hand, but he held it tighter.


    "Jenna, you passed out." Hansen helped her to lie against the headboard and said gently, "Get


    some rest. You are still undergoing infusion therapy."


    Infusion? Jenna finally noticed the tube inserted into one of her arms. Her body was weak and her


    head was in a whirl. She felt dizzy and great beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead.


    When did she be so weak? She was simply fragile.


    She felt dejected.


    "Look, you''re sweating all over." Hansen took out a tissue paper and wiped the sweat from her face


    gently as he reprimanded her, "From today onwards, you must eat and drink properly. Have a good


    rest and don''t worry about anything."


    Hansen pulled part of the quilt over her body and kissed her affectionately on the forehead. She


    could feel the warm quilt wrapping her.


    Jenna stared at him nkly. Her amber eyes were filled with confusion.


    From his attitude, it seemed that he already knew she was pregnant. He seemed ecstatic. Her heart


    sank and she turned around without uttering a word.


    "Jenna, if you are hungry, just let me know. I''ll instruct the kitchen to prepare a meal for you."


    Hansen then caressed her face gently.


    Jenna turned around, disregarding him.


    "Jenna, do cheer up. All right?" Hansen was in a good mood and he was very patient. He heard that


    women became edgy during pregnancy. No wonder she kept fighting and quarreling with him for the


    past few days. He felt guilty for not taking good care of her and vowed to treat her well in the future.


    He was on cloud nine. He never felt so happy before and felt a fulfilling sense of responsibility.


    He was going to be a father! Was it why he was so overjoyed? He had no idea but there was indeed


    no greater joy. He was jubnt!


    Jenna closed her eyes and paid no heed to him. Her head throbbed.


    "If you don''t respond, I will assume that you are all right with it. You have to eat everything that I


    order for you," Hansen bent over and whispered into her ears.


    He was so gentle and considerate. It must be for the sake of their child. Jenna noticed the words


    ''Maternal and Child Health Hospital" imprinted on the quilt.


    She was in the Maternal and Child Health Hospital. It already exined everything.


    What about Aria? What about the baby in her abdomen? As a woman, Jenna sympathized with her.


    How could she pass out at a critical moment like this? Jenna questioned herself.


    Hansen and Aria''s wedding date was just around the corner. Would Hansen still marry Aria after


    knowing Jenna was pregnant?


    Jenna was getting a headache. She turned


    around and could not bring herself to respond.


    "Sleep well and have a good rest. I''ll go out for a while and I''ll return soon." Hansen noticed that her


    expression had turned anxious. Her brows were furrowed and he understood at once what was on


    her mind.


    He left the ward and went to talk to a nurse at the counter.


    "Ask the head nurse toe over. I have something to say to her," Hansen instructed the nurse on


    duty in a solemn voice.


    The nurse raised her head and looked at Hansen with astonishment. Wasn''t this Mr. Richards, the


    richest man in A city? She only saw him before on screen and he was always dressed handsomely.


    Why did he look so haggard? Nevertheless, his formidable demeanor was the same as usual. He


    shot her a warning stare which sent a chill down her spine. She agreed and made a call right away.


    Upon receiving the call from the nurse, Agnes Pearson, the head nurse, hurried over and invited


    Hansen into a private room. Hansen said lightly, "Director Pearson, I am Hansen Richards." "Mr.


    Richards, it''s nice to see you. I have heard of you and your achievements. It''s my honor to see you,"


    Agnes greeted him cordially.


    "I don''t want the news about who is living in ward 508 to spread. I want it to be kept a secret even


    from those who work in the hospital. If the media ever got wind of the news or if someone in the


    hospital spread the news, I will file awsuit against the hospital. I''m sure you know what''s at stake


    and the consequences of defying me. I want a special team of doctors and nurses to take care of


    the patient in ward 508 and they must be able to keep secrets. The lesser the people who know


    about ward 508, the better it is. If you perform the job well, I will donate a new batch of medical


    equipment to the hospital," Hansen warned.


    Agnes agreed and her eyes shone with excitement. She promised that she would keep it a secret. It


    was a norm for sessful people to wish to keep their scandals a secret. Getting a mistress


    pregnant would ruin the reputation of the family if rumors spread. Moreover, Hansen was getting


    married soon. It was a piece of cake to agree to his request and in return, the hospital would be


    able to receive more medical equipment. There was no reason for Agnes to refuse.


    Hansen received the answer he wanted and left the room.


    Upon returning to the ward, he saw Jenna still lying on the bed. He drew closer and noticed that she


    seemed to be fast asleep. He caressed her hair and sighed before making a call to Jose, instructing


    him to bring over some pajamas and suits. After he brushed his teeth, night had fallen.


    Aunt E arrived a whileter with lots of food and supplements. Hansen checked them and nodded


    with satisfaction. He took out a list and handed it over to Aunt E. "Aunt E, from today onwards,


    please prepare the meals ording to this list. Don''t miss out on anything. If Young Madam wants


    to eat anything else, you can add it to the list. Please send the meals over once it is prepared. You


    can im the money from Ink Garden, I will inform them about this."


    "Sure." Aunt E nced at Jenna who was lying on the hospital bed and asked anxiously, "Young


    Master, how is Young Madam?"


    Hansen nced at her. He knew she had always treated Jenna very well but a thought crossed his


    mind and he said lightly, "Don''t worry, her body is just too weak. Just remember to stick to the list


    and prepare the meals to ensure she gets a bnced and healthy diet. Please make sure that she


    finishes her meal and report it to me afterwards. I will be taking care of her for the time being. It''s


    late, you may go back first."


    "All right, that''s great." Aunt E was very concerned when she received news that Jenna was in the


    hospital but upon hearing what he said, she was relieved. She took the list and left.


    Hansen was changing his clothes when he heard Jenna cry out, "Child, my child!"


    His blood ran cold and he dashed out of the toilet.


    He saw that Jenna was still fast asleep. However, she was shouting and beads of sweat collected


    on her forehead. It was apparent that she was having a nightmare.


    His heart went out to her and he hurriedly cuddled her in his arms. He grabbed some tissue and


    wipe away the sweat from her face as he attempted to calm her down. "Jenna, wake up."


    Jenna woke up with a start.


    The nightmare was terrifying; it was filled with blood. Her eyes widened in terror and she was


    trembling violently. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Hansen looking anxiously at her. His eyes


    were filled with concern.
