Chapter 279

From then on, Leo would always show up at her art exhibitions and even buy her paintings at high prices, among other things. Doing all this despite her disinterest, that was what you would call obsession! Nina was at a loss for words at the moment. Just then, her phone chimed with a notification. She and Yvonne both reached for their phones simultaneously. It was a message from their university class group chat, sent by Mike.
“Next Monday, our classmate, Peter Lark, is hosting a banquet at the Scarlet Leaf Bistro to celebrate his son’s first celebration, and it’s also our class reunion. Hope everyone can make it.”
“Kind of absurd, isn’t it? Why doesn’t Peter make the announcement himself? Why does Mike have to do it?” Yvonne quipped beside her.
At that moment, many in the group chat began to question this as well. Mike replied, “Our class president is currently in the hospital and not in a convenient position. I organized this on his behalf. Everyone, if you have any concerns, let’s discuss them in person. Those who can make it, please do.”
Nina pursed her lips. “The last time I went to the hospital for a check-up, I bumped into Mike. He told me that the class president’s son was born with a congenital heart condition.”
Mike’s true intention was to organize a fundraiser for Peter. Hearing this from Nina, Yvonne finally understood. A one-month-old baby with a congenital heart condition would incur significant expenses.
She leaned towards Nina suddenly. “Sweetheart, don’t let this affect you negatively. Keep up with your prenatal check-ups, avoid anything pregnant women shouldn’t eat, and don’t do any heavy lifting. Stay away from anything toxic. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay with me. From pregnancy to postpartum recovery, including the baby formula period, I’ve got you covered!”
Yvonne contemplated further to herself, “Considering how advanced medical technology is nowadays, shouldn’t congenital heart disease be detectable through prenatal check-ups? Some cases are genetic, while others stem from inadequate development. We just need to make sure we eliminate any chance of this happening in Nina’s womb.”
Nina could not help but chuckle at Yvonne’s exaggeration. “Look at you being dramatic. I’m pregnant, not a national treasure. Besides, national treasures aren’t like me!”
Yvonne gently caressed Nina’s belly. “No, you’re even more precious than a national treasure!”
There couldn’t be any room for error! Moreover, with Nina and Nash’s good genes, Yvonne could even imagine how cute and good-looking their child would be when born!
With a sigh, Yvonne continued, “Nina, are you really going to hide this child from Nash? York’s family only has him as the sole heir, and your child inside is their only grandchild! Maybe you could leverage this, even if you two have a quarrel, you might still get half of the family property!”
Nina could not help but smile and cry. “Yvonne, you’re overthinking it. Nash would definitely want me to get rid of this child.”
“Why?” Yvonne could not understand.
But as soon as she asked the question, she realized the issue. If the child could not stay, it’s because Nash did not want it. In addition, there were Sally and Miranda between Nina and Nash, especially Miranda!
Yvonne could not help but sarcastically remark, “If murder isn’t a crime, I’ll be the first to help you deal with Miranda!”
