The Woman From Hell



Although I knew Nicky would not give up so easily, she had at least been very quiet in the past few months. Even when I bumped into her when Theo and I were out for a walk, she would just nod slightly at us.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As my belly got bigger day by day, my due date was also getting closer and closer.

I was admitted to the hospital at Theo's suggestion.

Now, it was Shannon's turn to accompany me. She cut fruit for me. "Eat it."

"You're becoming more and more virtuous, Shannon," I joked.

Shannon glanced at me. "Watch what you say. I'm a mother, after all. Your due date is just around the corner, right?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"If you give birth to a little princess, we can set up our babies together." Shannon's face beamed with joy. She became even more excited. "Yes, that's right. Your's and Theo's child must be refined. Our Jackie is the only one worthy of your little princess."

"Not necessarily."

Theo suddenly appeared and glanced at Shannon. "I hope it'll be a boy." He kissed me lightly on the forehead and smiled.

Hearing this, I pursed my lips. "You won't like her if she's a girl?"

"Of course not. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're still children of the Grants. If it's a girl, she'll attract too many suitors and I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her." Theo touched my stomach, his eyes full of love.

He would be a good father.

Shannon pursed her lips. "If it's a girl, just marry her into our family and you won't have to deal with all those messed up people outside."

"If your Jackson ends up being ignorant, I'll regret the marriage."

"Don't worry, Jackie will definitely be a promising child. He'll be no less than you, Theo."

Hearing them going back and forth happily, I shook my head. "Alright alright don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet. You can think about it later."

After hearing what I said, Shannon closed her mouth. She looked down at my big belly and said thoughtfully, "But I think your belly is much bigger than mine at the time. Could it be twins?"

"Really?" Theo's eyes lit up instantly.

"Isn't it time to check it out?" Shannon suggested.

"Actually, Theo wanted to ask the doctor about this before, but I stopped him. I think it's good to let things take their course. Besides, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, we'll love them. We'll no longer have a surprise to took forward to if we find out in advance. Don't you think so, Theo?"

He nodded slowly at me. "Yes, you're right. We'll listen to you and not ask."

Shannon rolled her eyes at us at our lovey-dovey exchange. "You guys are going too far. Jordan and I never did this when you were in my ward.

I looked up at her and smiled. "Okay, okay. We'll restrain ourselves."

After hearing what I said, Theo also laughed.

"

There was a burst of laughter in the ward, but it was followed by my sudden shift in tone. "Wait a minute... My stomach hurts."

"Are you in labor?"

"Go and get the doctor."

"Okay, okay. No, you can actually ring the bell here."

Shannon rang the bell next to my bed, and a nurse rushed in. Shannon's loud voice filled the ward. "Nurse, nurse! She looks like she's about to give birth."

"Don't worry, she just went into labor. There's still a while to go."

I spent the rest of my time with their and the nurses' company...
