Chapter 473 Noah Is Suspicious
Vicente and Noah went to see the two babies together in the nursery ward of the hospital. Since
both babies were still premature, they were kept in separate incubators along with the other
premature babies, and so Vicente and Noah could only observe the babies through the huge ss
wall.
The children''s eyes hadn''t opened yet. All you could see was pure innocence on their faces.
Nevertheless, there was a cuteness in them, loud and clear, even beneath their wrinkled
appearance. As they stared at the babies, Vicente had the sudden urge to hug them.
"Look! They are my sons." Without looking away from the babies, Vicente raised her elbow to nudge
Noah, trying to get his attention. She was smiling from ear to ear.
Feeling Vicente''s nudge, Noah looked at the two boys who looked exactly the same. He stayed like
this for a while, until he noticed them move their tiny hands. At this point, he could not help but raise
his hands to touch the ss, feeling the desire to hold their tiny hands.
The newborn children were just too pure and too cute to resist.
However, after a closer look of the babies, Noah''s face frowned and he seemed to have realized
something. He nced at Vicente and asked, "Are they more than six months old?"
"Yes," Vicente answered with a nod, without thinking much about Noah''s question. "Aww, poor boys!
They have toe out sooner from Nina''s belly than they were due! It''s sad to think that they will
have to stay in these incubators for a period of time and won''t be able to lie beside her."
Noah looked at Vicente with a frown. He then stared at the babies as his eyes twinkled. "Are you
sure? They don''t look like premature babies of more than six months. I don''t want to rain on your
parade, but premature babies such as them normally have a survival rate that is very low. These
babies look healthy to me."
The corners of Vicente''s mouth immediately dropped. The smile on her face was now reced with
a frozen expression. She avoided eye contact with Noah and looked away from the children.
"I think it''s almost done. I''ll go check on Demi and ask her what''s going on," Vicente said, quickly
changing the topic.
Because of how she reacted, Noah became even more doubtful. His suspicion that the biological
father of the two children was John and not Vicente just became stronger.
Besides, Noah knew that Nina had a deep love for John, so how could she let another man other
than him touch her in the slightest?
Furthermore, even if she happened to really sleep with Vicente, as soon as she woke up, she
should have a deep hatred for Vicente. Therefore, their rtionship should not be as close as it was
now.
Compared to a real couple with genuine feelings for each other, the way they got along with each
other and the emotions in their eyes looked more like an intimacy of friends than lovers.
Besides, Noah was sure Vicente liked men.
As Noah stared at Vicente''s retreating figure, he felt like Vicente was fleeing, dodging the topic
Noah was just getting started with.
Even then, he didn''t have that much evidence yet to prove his suspicion, so all he could do now was
follow him.
The two walked side by side to Demi''s ward in silence.
Demi''s injurypared to Nina was more serious. She was wrapped tightly like a mummy from
head to toe with only a pair of eyes left uncovered. Her left leg was also hung high with a brace.
Even if Demi had the more serious injury and that Nina only had her forehead hurt, Nina was still
unconscious.
"Count Nangong..." As soon as she heard the sound of the door being opened, Demi nced
towards it with difficulty. Seeing that it was Vicente, she felt a little relieved and excited that she tried
to sit up.
Realizing what Demi was trying to do, Vicente immediately walked over towards her and pressed
her shoulder gently. "Stay down. It''s okay."
Demi nodded slightly andy back obediently. Then, she leaned her head slowly on the side to be
able to look at Vicente properly. With concern, she asked, "How''s your wife? Is she okay? I''m really
sorry. This is all my fault. I was too focused chatting with her that I wasn''t able to notice the traffic
lights turn red. It was an ident. I''m really sorry, Count Nangong. Please, I beg you, punish me, so
I can pay back what I have done."
Noah stood behind Vicente and noticed how Demi spoke all this in one breath, as if she had
practiced it before.
He had this strong feeling inside of him that he observed Demi for a moment.
He wasn''t certain if it was because there were too many people spying on Nina in the cinema that
made him feel a little nervous. Whenever there was someone who tried to get close to her, Noah
could not help but feel doubt.
"Really? How could you not notice the traffic lights when you were driving?" Vicente asked with a
frown. She was angry at Demi.
Demi looked away and lowered her head with guilt. "I am really sorry. I admit to my faults. I''m sorry
for letting you down, and I''m also really sorry for the babies in her belly."
Tears started streaming down her bandaged face. Then, she turned to look at him again and added,
"Please, Count Nangong, punish me. Punish me any way you want, but please let me continue to
be your assistant. I will take any punishment, I swear, but please, let me keep my position. I won''t
ever try to disappoint you again. I promise."
As Vicente stood there beside the bed, looking down at Demi, she felt very ufortable with what
and how the situation turned out.
She had changed a lot of assistants, but only Demi was the most reliable one. She wondered how
Demi let such a thing happen so carelessly.
Because of that, she wasn''t convinced with what Demi had told her. "I will investigate it. Until then,
you can have a rest in here for a while."
"Okay," Demi said quietly. Deep inside, she felt a little disappointed.
Before Vicente could leave, Demi asked, "How is your wife? How about the babies? Are they
okay?"
"Nina is still ina, but the babies are saved," Vicente replied cheaply.
Hearing this, Demi forced a smile. "Really? That''s great then! I''m d they''re all fine."
"Well then, have a good rest," Vicente said and left the ward without another word.
Before leaving, Noah gave Demi another look.
Demi watched Vicente''s receding figure before she moved her head towards Noah, giving him a
slight and polite node.
Demi''s and Nina''s wards were not in the same building, and Vicente and Noah had to pass through
the central garden to be able to get to Nina''s ward.
As soon as the two of them stepped on the brick path in the garden, a group of reporters swarmed
towards them, surrounding them in such a way that Vicente and Noah had to stop walking.
"Good day, Count Nangong! I heard that your wife had a car ident. Is that true?"
"Is she all right? How is she now? Can you please tell us?"
"Was she able to give birth to the babies?"
"Count Nangong, I''m sorry to ask, but are the children safe?"
The reporters crowded over and blocked her in the middle. They were a lot of them holding
microphones towards her, and the pushing made the microphones almost reach and hit her mouth.
As for Noah, since he wasn''t the person of interest, he had been pushed away from the crowd of
reporters.
Standing just outside of the crowd, he looked at Vicente calmly. He wondered whether he should
leave first, but Vicente looked at him, silently asking for his help.
Noah frowned. Vicente should have dealt with the media quite a lot. She could just answer a few
questions calmly or leave without saying anything. Noah wondered why Vicente needed his help.
Vicente knew that she could just keep her mouth shut and leave. However, she was stuck in the
middle of the crowd and she could not get out of.
At that moment, Vicente started to feel suffocated that her head started to ache due to all the
cameras and microphones raised towards her.
Vicente looked outside of the crowd again.
She frowned at Noah and thought, ''Don''t just stand there. Help me!''
"Excuse me. Excuse me, please!" Noah said loud enough so the reporters could hear. He decided
to help the count.
Noah was tall and straight. He had been working out by pursuing and solving criminal cases all year
round. Therefore, even though he looked thin, he was quite powerful and strong. These reporters
were definitely no match for him. He didn''t need all his strength to squeeze in the crowd.

It didn''t take long for him to be able to take Vicente out of the crowd like a bodyguard.
However, the reporters were stubborn and persistent. They were determined to get something out
of Vicente. "Count Nangong, are you refusing to make a statement now, because something
happened to your wife and children, right?"
Hearing what the reporter had asked, Vicente stopped and could not bear anymore. She looked
over towards the reporters, feeling annoyed by their persistence, but she maintained her image.
"This is the hospital, where many patients are getting treated and trying to get a good rest to be able
to recover their health. And you came with cameras, talking loudly. If something happens to any of
these patients because of your noises, I believe that all of you should have a guilty conscience."
All of a sudden, the noise died down as the journalists slowly restrained themselves with all the
shame.
However, some of them were still desperate for the news and were convinced that Vicente was
using this as an excuse. "Well then, pardon me, Count Nangong, but if you answered our questions,
then we wouldn''t have to be so noisy in here. In the end, this is still all your fault, Count Nangong."
Vicente sneered, "Whichpany are you from?"
Without waiting for the reporter''s reply, she looked over and saw her identification card clipped on
her blouse. With a smile, Vicente said, "Congrattions! I won''t let you go. You don''t have to say
anything. This is me threatening you."
