Female Novel
Chapter 1290
"She has been sleeping ever since breakfast!" Valerie said, glancing at Anne on the bed.
I reached out and touched Anne's forehead. It was indeed a little hot. I sighed and said, "Anne waspremature and never drank breast milk since birth, so she has a weaker immune system. When welived in Hovell, the weather conditions there were suitable for her. She didn't get ill much. It might bethe air quality in Jarold City that caused her immune system to weaken."
Valerie sighed. "I tried giving her some nutritious food, but she couldn't eat anything. She'sbecoming thinner and thinner each day. Jarold City is indeed not for her. You should take her backto Hovell. For a child her age, the most important thing is her health."
I nodded. I had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. I didn't have to go to work atthe Milton Group for the time being, so I didn't have much on my plate. If I brought Anne back toHovell by myself, Hendrix might also want to come, which would delay his work. Sebastian waseyeing his every single movement, like a tiger eyeing its prey. I was afraid that he was waiting forHendrix to make a mistake so that he could take advantage of the Roberts Group.
"After a few days, when Hendrix's affairs are handled, we will go to Hovell to live for a while!" I said.Looking at her small face, I was suddenly reminded of Sonia's daughter, who was also the sameage as Anne.
Valerie hummed and said, "You should tell Hendrix not to spend so much time on work. You twoaren't young anymore. I asked the doctor. It's not that you can't give birth, but the injury was seriousand some organs were damaged. After so many years, it has almost recovered. Take time to go tothe hospital. You two should have your own baby. Two days ago, I ran into Nerissa in the hospital.She was with a man about the same age as her. I watched them go to the obstetrics andgynecology department. I heard that she was asking if she could get pregnant. I think she wants achild."
I was stunned. For the past few years, Nerissa had stayed in Jarold City. Recently, she'd found ahouse in the suburbs to do some gardening by herself. I originally thought that she was content withspending the rest of her life like this. I didn't expect that she would meet the right person and wantto have children again.
After a moment of silence, I smiled and said, "It's good. She has been tormented by the Grangersfor half of her life. Now that she has met the right person and wants to settle down with him, shedoesn't have to spend the rest of her life alone anymore."
Valerie nodded and said, "Yes. As you grow older, you become more and more afraid of loneliness.You and Hendrix should hurry up and have a child of your own. This family will be more lively in thefuture. Look at Freya, her child is almost six months old. If you give birth, don't worry about raisingthem. I'll help you. I've handed over the company's affairs to Sawyer. I have time and energy to lookafter children now."
I couldn't help but laugh. I said, "Let nature take its course. Anne has been with you all this time. If Iwant to have another one, you won't have the energy to take care of two children."
"That's not a big deal. Your father has plenty of time on his hands. Give him a grandchild. It'll curehis bad temper." As Valerie spoke, she couldn't help laughing.novelbin
