Chapter 2604
“You let his looks sway you,” the senior nurse teased.
Julia chuckled softly.
“Why would someone like him, a top attorney, take notice of me? I just find him very kind.
”
Rhett, indeed, had a warm and steady presence.
After Nicole settled back into the car, Jarrod told the driver to get moving.
However, instead of heading to the hospital, they took the route to Nicole’s current place of residence.
Nicole, worn out from the day’s events, quickly dozed off in the backseat.
As Nicole slept, her head began to nod, unable to maintain a steady posture due to her slumber.
The driver, noticing her discomfort, slowed down to smooth the ride as much as possible, yet the car still shuddered slightly on a bumpy stretch of road.
Just as Nicole’s head started to lurch to the side, Jarrod caught it with a steady hand.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Gently, he guided her head to rest on his shoulder, providing a more comfortable position for her to continue sleeping.
When they reached her residence, Jarrod chose not to wake her.
Nonetheless, sleeping in the car was hardly restful, and Nicole soon stirred awake.
Opening her eyes to find her head on Jarrod’s shoulder, Nicole quickly recoiled, moving herself to the far corner of the seat.
“Sorry,” she mumbled, flustered.
“It’s okay,” Jarrod responded calmly, his voice steady.
Looking around, Nicole noticed they were parked outside her home, which made her anxious.
“Why did you bring me here?” she asked, her voice tinged with confusion.
“You’ve been worn out these days,” Jarrod explained.
“Go home and get some proper rest.
”
Nicole shook her head, expressing her concern, “I remain anxious.
I must ensure Austin’s well-being.
”
“No need.
” Jarrod firmly declined.
He hesitated, fearing Nicole might perceive him as obstructing her from their child, and clarified, “I supervise him.
Don’t worry.
My work accompanies me to the hospital.
You need to rest, understand?”
Since Austin’s ailment, Nicole hadn’t experienced uninterrupted sleep.
Dark circles emerged beneath her eyes, yet she persisted.
Nicole hesitated, fearing Austin might long for her presence.
Jarrod seemed to anticipate her apprehension and broadcasted some voice messages from his phone.
“Daddy, tell my mommy to depart and rest.
If you don’t make it, I’IL call you uncle.
”
“Instruct my mommy to prioritize rest.
Otherwise, the fetus within her will grow sluggishly.
I eagerly await meeting the baby soon.
Inform the baby that their big brother is robust and capable of carrying them…”
Austin’s gentle and endearing voice resonated.
Austin even dared to threaten Jarrod, indicating their harmonious relationship.
Austin’s vitality was evident.
