Chapter 281
Seeing Nina in this state, Nash could not help but furrow his brows. “Didn’t you go to the hospital for a check-up?”
“Yeah, they gave me some medicine and I’m taking it.”
A shiver ran down Nina’s spine, her throat constricted. She avoided meeting Nash’s piercing black eyes, afraid he might see through her.
Nash’s frown deepened. “It’s been a day or two since you went. What did they prescribe? Let me ask Caleb. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have him bring you something else.”
The doctor prescribed calcium and folic acid tablets, which Nina had already swapped out. If she showed them to Caleb, being a doctor, he’d spot the switch right away! Nina had to change the subject. “It’s only been a day or two, like you said. It’s not that quick. And didn’t you give me a box of stomach medicine last time?”
Nash recalled.
Seeing Nash’s silence, Nina swiftly placed the coffee on his desk. “This time I didn’t add rose petals. See if you like it. Oh, I just remembered, I need to go to the room to tidy up some things.”
“Okay,” Nash replied, keeping his words brief. But he could not ignore Nina’s apparent eagerness to leave.
He did not touch the black coffee Nina had prepared for him.
When Nina returned to the room, it was partly out of fear that Nash might uncover something. Plus, Nash’s mention reminded her that she had forgotten to take her folic acid pills yesterday when she visited Yvonne’s place.
Just as she was about to take them, there was a sudden “click” of the door.
The unexpected sound startled Nina, causing the medicine bottle in her hand to slip. Then she saw Nash’s imposing figure advancing towards her.
His black eyes were sharp and cold as a knife and he demanded, “Hand over the pills you’re taking.”
Nash’s demand stemmed from Nina’s unusual behavior, her excessive anxiety, and her secretive pill-taking!
Nina’s heart raced, but she complied with Nash’s request.
There were small white pills and some longer ones.
Since Nash could not understand, he had to inspect the pill bottle.
But Nina had already swapped the bottles, so now Nash was staring at a bottle of vitamin A tablets.
“If it’s just vitamins, why are you making such a big deal out of it?” Nash questioned, pinching the bottle as his sharp black eyes scrutinized Nina.
Nina pursed her lips, her voice barely above a whisper. “Jump scares can kill, you know? Your sudden move scared me.”
Seeing Nash’s silence, Nina pressed on, “Nash, don’t you trust me? I’m still in my twenties, and I’m perfectly healthy. Do you really need me to show you my medical report?”
Nash observed the determination in Nina’s eyes and responded, “Still, let Caleb take a look at it.”
Nash placed the pills he held on the bedside table for Nina.
Nina hesitated to involve Caleb. After all, Caleb was a top expert at the hospital. If she sought his advice, wouldn’t he discover her pregnancy?
“I don’t want to go to Caleb. I’ve already seen a doctor, and there’s nothing major. The doctor told me it’s just stress, overthinking, and not eating on time. I’m scared of doctors, and I don’t want to go now.” Nash took a step closer to her.
His large hand was now gently patting her head. “It’s just a doctor’s visit, nothing to worry about. Caleb won’t bite.”
