Nicole did not take a firm hold of the phone, so it fell to the ground and caused a loud sound.
Fortunately, the phone was of good quality and was still ringing.
Alison hurriedly squatted down and picked up the phone, then handed it to Nicole.
Nicole took a look. It was Petty.
She took a deep breath and got through the call.
"Petty, what's the matter?"
"Nicole, when are you coming back? I hear from my mother that you're coming back for dinner tonight.
Do you have time now? I want to have a maternity inspection. My mother asked Zac to go shopping.
I'm afraid the doctors will be off work when he comes back."
Petty said embarrassedly.
Nicole frowned slightly.
"Why didn't you go to the hospital this morning?"
"My mother forgot to remind me, and she told me just now. Shall I go to the hospital tomorrow?"
Petty thought that Nicole was busy and hurriedly said.
Did Lillian really forget to remind Petty? Or did she intentionally tell Petty now?
Nicole did not know Lillian's intention. But she felt that it was obvious that Lillian wanted her to go with
Petty as Lillian instructed Zac to go out.
Since Lillian had set a trap for her, wouldn't it be too disingenuous of her not to jump in?
Nicole sneered, "I'm not busy. I'll be back soon. By the way, I'll give Gabrielle a call. If the doctor is off
work, we can go to the Military Hospital for a maternity inspection, and we can avoid queuing up."
"Thank you, Nicole."
Petty had a hard time during her pregnancy and did not like to wait in line. However, she had to queue
up in the Central Hospital.
If Nicole could send her to the Military Hospital, no matter what, it would be easier and more convenient
for her. After all, Nicole kept a good tie with Director Gabrielle.
After Petty hung up, Nicole put her phone away.
She looked in the direction where Elvis had left.
Apart from having affection for Una, this man really didn't care about Petty at all.
She left the Second Prison.
Alison hesitated, seeming to say something.
Nicole smiled, "Do you want to persuade me not to go back to the Green's?"
"You know it's a trap, but you still want to go back. Isn't that a bit stupid?"
Alison's words were very bold.
But Nicole liked her boldness very much.
"Lillian has been preparing the trap for so long. It's not a good idea for us to always hide from her. Why
don't we just see what tricks she plays?"
The more indifferent Nicole was, the more worried Alison became. But Alison didn't say anything.
The two of them returned to the Green's.
When she saw that Nicole was followed by Alison, Lillian was stunned for a moment and couldn't help
but ask, "This is..."
"My bodyguard, Alison."
Nicole said slowly.
Lillian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Nicole, are you bringing bodyguards with you now?"
"Yes, there are too many people who want to harm me recently. I have to keep myself safe. Samuel
was framed and is still in the police station. If anything happens to me, my husband will be crazy. Don't
you think so, Ms. Lillian?"
Nicole looked at Lillian with a smile, but her sharp gaze frightened Lillian.
"Nicole, I've packed everything up. Shall we go now?"
At this moment, Petty walked out.
"Alright, let's go."
Nicole glanced at Lillian and asked, "Ms. Lillian, are you coming with us?"
"You two can go. I won't go with you. I'll prepare delicious food for you at home. Call me if you need
help."
"Okay."
Petty was really nice to her mother. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. Perhaps because she was
about to become a mother, she was more dependent on Lillian.
Nicole frowned at the view of this scene.
This was not a good thing for Petty.
Now that she knew that Lillian had an ill intention, she was afraid that Lillian would keep Petty as a
hostage. If that was the case, how could Petty bear it?
Thinking of this, Nicole had an idea.
When they walked out of the Green's, Alison had gone to drive.
Nicole called Gabrielle.
"How are you?"
"Not bad. What's wrong?"
Gabrielle knew that Nicole wouldn't call her if there was no trouble, so she hurriedly asked.
Nicole couldn't say more in front of Petty, "If your body condition permits, I would like to ask you to
come to the hospital. Petty is pregnant and wants to have a maternity inspection. I don't feel at ease if
others do it."
Gabrielle paused for a moment.
Other gynecologists could do the inspection well, too. If Nicole had a special request, she could just
make a phone call. After all, she was the Director. But now Nicole said that if her body condition
permitted, that would be interesting.
"Alright, I'll go over later."
After hanging up, Nicole seemed to think about something.
Petty said gratefully, "Nicole, thank you. I'm not familiar with Mr. Blair's wife."
"You are my family member. Now that your brother isn't here, I naturally have to protect you."
Nicole said it sincerely, but whether Petty could understand the meaning behind it was up to Petty.
As Alison drove the car over, Nicole and Petty got in.
The car quickly arrived at the Military Hospital.
Petty knew that it was not easy to see the doctors in the Military Hospital, but she didn't expect that she
actually came here now.
Petty walked into the Military Hospital with extreme excitement.
Gabrielle had arrived.
Petty's belly was easy to be noticed now. She had gained a lot of weight, but she beamed.
"Your belly..."
Gabrielle was a little surprised.
Blair didn't tell his wife that Nicole had miscarried, so she did not know about it. Now that she saw
Nicole's flat belly, she felt a little shocked.
"I miscarried. Forget about me, this is Petty. You have seen her. Please have a careful examination for
her. Samuel cares about her very much."
Hearing that, Gabrielle nodded slightly, and then she brought Petty into the monitoring room.
It was not long before Gabrielle walked out.
"What do you mean?"
"I was wondering if I could find an excuse to keep Petty in the hospital."
Nicole did not conceal her idea and directly asked Gabrielle.
Gabrielle nodded, "She has a hemorrhagic symptom. I can just take it as an excuse, but why?"
"I'll explain it to you later."
The two of them only chatted for a while before Petty pulled up her pants and came out.
"Director Farley, how am I? Is the baby healthy?"
"Not good."
Gabrielle's poker face instantly frightened Petty.
"Director Farley, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my baby?"
Seeing Petty's face turn pale from fear, Nicole felt somewhat guilty.
Gabrielle shook her head, "You have a sign of miscarriage. I think you saw it yourself. There's blood on
your pants. You'd better stay in the hospital for a week. If there's no problem, you can go home and
rest. If anything goes wrong, you can be treated immediately in the hospital. What do you think?"
Petty was frightened when she heard that she might miscarry. She blurted out, "Alright. As long as my
baby is healthy, I will do whatever you want me to do."
"Then let's go through the hospitalization procedures. I'll introduce the most experienced gynecologist
to you."
As soon as Gabrielle finished speaking, Nicole said, "I'll handle it. Petty, sit here for a rest."
"Thank you, Nicole."
Petty felt very embarrassed.
Nicole had always been protected by Samuel with great care, but now Nicole was busy with her own
affairs. Petty felt sorry.
Nicole waved her hand and asked Alison to stay, while she went to go through the procedures.
When she couldn't be seen by Petty, Nicole called Jason.
"Uncle Jason, there is something I want to ask you to help."
"What is it?"
As long as Nicole gave the order, Jason would try his best to make it.
Nicole whispered, "I need a safe and secret place for a pregnant woman to rest. Can you help me?"
"There is a suitable place. I'll arrange it. When do you need it?"
"An hour later."
"Okay."
After making the call, Nicole went to go through the procedures and then went back to the examination
room.
"Done. Should Petty be injected a nutrient solution now?"
Gabrielle understood Nicole's intention.
"Of course. Now that the hospitalization procedures are done, I'll arrange a bed for you, and I'll also ask
the nurse to prepare. Petty, don't worry. It will do good to the baby if you take a good rest and keep a
good mood."
Gabrielle said very gently.
Petty hurriedly nodded.
The two of them went to the ward.
It was not long before the nurse brought the nutrient solution and injected it to Petty.
After about ten minutes, Petty felt a little sleepy.
She yawned, "Nicole, I want to sleep. Please tell my mother about my condition."
"I will. You can sleep now."
Nicole tucked Petty in, and Petty fell asleep.
Seeing that Petty was sound asleep, Nicole walked out of the ward.
Gabrielle waited outside.
"What's going on?"
"Lillian is going to make a move. I'm afraid that Petty will become a hostage if she stays here, so I plan
to send her away. The sleeping tablets in the nutrient solution won't affect the child, right?"
Nicole was a little worried.
Gabrielle shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. However, she won't sleep for long."
"Thank you."
"It's fine. If you need help, just tell me."
"Okay."
Nicole put on a faint smile and called Jason for the address and asked Gabrielle to use the ambulance
to send Petty away as soon as possible.
After the howling ambulance drove away, Nicole's heart sank.
Alison was somewhat puzzled, "Petty is Lillian's daughter. Why are you so nice to her? If she knows
that you are against her mother, will she hate you?"
"I can't care about so much now. I just know that I can't put her in danger. As for other things, we can
talk about them later."
"What about Zac? He's Petty's husband. Petty is hospitalized. He has to take care of his wife, right?
There's Petty in the hospital record, but she's not here. How do you explain it to Zac? Or do you think
Zac and Lillian are in cahoots? That's why you even hide it from Zac?"
After she finished speaking, Alison instantly widened her eyes in surprise.
It can't be that case, right?
