Chapter 2279 The Person in the Hospital
Kira’s smile stiffened, but she did not reveal anything.
When Hamilton went outside, he saw that Nicole was still there.She stood by the car and looked like she was in a trance.
Hamilton walked over. “President, you didn’t eat much earlier. Why don’t we eat somewhere else?”
Nicole raised her chin and gestured arrogantly for him to open the door.
Hamilton was speechless as he thought, ‘Was she waiting for me to open the car door for her all this time? She’s such a princess! No wonder she’s never satisfied with the coffee I make!’
He opened the door for her.
Nicole got into the car and said, “Let’s go back to the office.”
Hamilton sat in the passenger seat and looked back at her hesitantly.
“President, did I really eat a fly just now?”
Nicole did not even lift her eyelids.
‘What do you think?”
Hamilton hesitated. Although he did not eat much earlier, he no longer had an appetite.
Nicole held the phone and was contemplating calling Camille.
Camille might know whether Clayton was back in Mediania.
Nicole thought about it, but since Clayton left LJ Corporation, even Camille did not know of his whereabouts, so why would Clayton update Camille later?
Jeff Lieberman and Clayton Sloan.He still did not admit his true identity at the last moment.
However, Nicole could vaguely feel that he was safe even though she did not know where he was.
Nicole looked at the passing scenery outside the window and felt dispirited for a while.
What identity would he use to come back?
Would he return to her?
Or was she just thinking too much and being delusional?
When Nicole arrived at Stanton Corporation, Grant happened to be rushing out.
Nicole was a little surprised and asked, “Big Brother, where are you going?”
Grant did not have time to elaborate and briefly said, “Your sister-in-law is about to go into labor, so I have to go to the hospital.”
Nicole’s expression changed slightly. She immediately turned back and followed him.
“I’ll go with you.”
Grant did not refuse. He looked serious, and his face was tense.
Nicole took a deep breath. “Don’t worry. I’ll notify the hospital first, then I’ll tell Dad and the others. I’ll get Logan to pick up the kids later.”
Grant nodded. He was so anxious that he could not think thoroughly.
Nicole called the hospital to inquire about the situation before she called Floyd and Kai.
After everything was arranged, Nicole turned to look at Grant.
“Isn’t Aida’s due date a month away?”
Grant nodded with a pale face.
Although this was Aida’s second pregnancy, Grant was still very worried about her.
“I think she accidentally fell down the stairs when I was on a call with her. I don’t know the full situation yet. What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said that he gave her an injection and that she’ll most likely give birth today.”
Grant acted calm, but sweat was dripping from his forehead, which showed how anxious and panicked he was.
The driver sped to the hospital.
When they arrived, Grant pushed the door open and got out of the car. Nicole followed suit.
However, when she got on the elevator, she suddenly saw a familiar figure walking past the other end of the long corridor.
The man was limping with a cane, and his side profile resembled Clayton’s.He looked handsome and indifferent.It was Jeff or Clayton.
Nicole’s expression changed dramatically.She had a feeling that he was back.
Nicole was about to go out of the elevator, but some people squeezed inside, and the elevator doors closed.
That silhouette also disappeared.
Nicole’s heart trembled slightly, and her breathing became a little rushed.
Grant was very nervous at first. When he noticed that something was wrong with Nicole, he pulled her toward him to prevent others from crowding her.
Since they came in such a hurry, they did not ask the hospital to temporarily vacate the elevator. Thus, they had no choice but to cram inside with everyone else.
“Lil N, are you okay?”
Nicole’s face was slightly pale. She tugged on his arm.
“Brother, I think I saw Clayton.”
Grant’s expression changed slightly, and he looked at her hesitantly.He wanted to say that she was mistaken, but he was also afraid of hurting her.
Finally, he patted Nicole on the shoulder. “I’ll get someone to help you look for him shortly. Don’t worry.”
Nicole nodded and tried her best to keep her heart from pounding.She did not want her emotions to get out of control.
If it was really Clayton, he would definitely come to her, right?
After a while, everyone went out of the elevator.
Nicole and Grant went up another floor before they went out.
The nurse was already waiting at the elevator.
“Mr. Stanton, Ms. Stanton, this way please…”
Grant followed the nurse with a solemn face. “How is my wife?”
“Mrs. Stanton’s condition isn’t ideal. The doctor is taking care of her, and her amniotic sac is still intact.”
Grant pushed the door open with a glum face and went into the ward.
Nicole also followed.
Aida was sweating profusely and lying on the bed with a pale face.
Several doctors around her were discussing the treatment plan.
As soon as Grant left, they immediately made way for him.
Grant wiped Aida’s sweat in distress and said with a trembling voice, “Aida, Lil N and I are right here. Dad will be here soon, so don’t be afraid. We’ll be with you.”
Aida was in a trance from the pain. She gritted her teeth and reached out to grab his hand.
“Where’s Levi?”
Nicole quickly said, “He’s still at school. Don’t worry, Aida. I’ll send someone to pick him up.”
Aida breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. “I’m fine. This isn’t my first pregnancy. I accidentally slipped and fell. Fortunately, I knelt on the ground. Otherwise, it would’ve been risky.”
Grant hurriedly looked at her knee.Her right knee was badly bruised.
Grant put his hand on her knee and felt heartbroken. The doctor quickly ordered the nurse to take the medicine.
“I didn’t notice the injury on Mrs. Stanton knee just now. We’ll deal with it now.”
“It’s okay. It doesn’t hurt now.”
Aida tried hard to speak.
Grant held her hand. “Listen to the doctor. You’ll heal faster with medicine.”
Aida smiled. When they looked at each other, they seemed to be the only ones in the room.
Nicole sighed and walked out.
One of the doctors followed her out.
“Doctor, when will she give birth?”
“Judging by Mrs. Stanton’s condition, it will probably be tonight.”
‘There won’t be a problem, right?” Nicole asked worriedly.
“No. Please believe that we’ll try our best to ensure the mother and the baby’s health.”
Nicole was relieved when she heard what the doctor said.She regarded Aida as her family.
If something happened to Aida, Nicole could not imagine how Grant would spend the rest of his life.
After the doctor finished speaking, he returned to the office.
Nicole sat on the chair by the door and struggled to deal with the complicated emotions in her heart. It was as if she was getting at something, but she did not know what it was.
She sent a message to Logan and told him to remember to pick up the children from school and send them to the hospital. She also told Logan to send Chance to Ferguson Corporation.
Logan was glad to do this because he did not have to work overtime. Then, he would have an excuse to go home party .He immediately replied to Nicole’s message and agreed.
