Chapter 461 Bumped Into Each Other
Norman’s hand that rested on the other twitched slightly. To be honest, he was tempted by Nicole’s offer. But then, he steadied himself as now was not the time to give in.
After finishing her words, Nicole did not say anything more and left.
After leaving the police department, she went to the hospital. Although Betty was recovering, she still couldn’t remember some of her memories. The doctor said that this was because of the long-term side-effect of the medicine, and there was nothing they could do other than to let her slowly recover from it.
Worried that something would happen to Betty as she lived alone, Nicole hired someone to take care of her to prevent anything from happening.
As for Julia, her belly was getting bigger, and she had gotten skinnier because of the morning sickness for the past few days. When Nicole visited her, she noticed that Julia was so skinny that her eyes bulged. It was heartbreaking for her to see Julia in this state, but words couldn’t come out of her mouth when she wanted to tell her everything.

bout the Zuniga Family at Durobrivae being a political dynasty…
Thinking about that, Nicole couldn’t get herself to speak up.
“Nicole, I have seen many pregnant women and understand their conditions. But when it was my turn, I realized that being pregnant isn’t an easy job.”
Julia lay on the bed; her pregnant belly was slightly visible now that it had grown bigger, but her poor appetite had caused other parts of her body to slim down except her belly.
“Since you chose to have this baby, you need to stay strong for the baby, Julia,” Nicole comforted her.
Julia nodded and lowered her eyes while touching her belly as she said, “I know. I will take good care of him and watch him grow.”
Julia decided to do a checkup as she recently had a poor appetite, and her baby bump was getting bigger. Although she was a specialist in this field, she couldn’t inspect the baby’s condition clearly, as there was no equipment in the house. So, she wanted a checkup at the research center, but Nicole felt it was inconvenient and that they should go to the hospital.
Seeing the hesitation in Julia’s eyes, Nicole smiled. “I’m not an expert on this. Although you are an expert yourself, it’s hard for you to check your own condition. If you are afraid to bump into Richard, we can go to the Town Central Hospital.”
After hesitating for some time, Julia agreed. After all, this was her child; she could not be careless with it.
With that, Nicole drove Julia to Town Central Hospital at Lumore for a checkup. Although Julia had a poor appetite, the baby was in good condition. The doctor prescribed her some antiemetics, and they went to take them. Just as they were taking the prescription, a man came their way, and Julia hid behind Nicole subconsciously.
When Nicole raised her head, she realized that it was Richard!
The reason they were at Lumore was to avoid him, but who knew that they still bumped into each other? It was as if life was playing tricks on them. Fortunately, Richard didn’t suspect anything and left quickly after glancing at them.
When he left, Julia came out from behind Nicole. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes because Richard didn’t greet her even though he saw her. It was like they were strangers.
Noticing her disappointment, Nicole held her hand and whispered, “Don’t be sad, Julia.”
As Nicole comforted her, Julia hid her sadness and managed a smile. “I’m not sad, Nicole. Let’s go.”
The two left after taking the prescription. Luckily, Richard did not appear again.
When they returned to the car, Julia said, “Nicole, I was thinking of going back abroad once the baby’s condition becomes stable.”
Her words stunned Nicole, but she soon realized Julia was avoiding Richard. Now that he was the son-in-law of the Zuniga Family, he wouldn’t go abroad again. So maybe for Julia, going abroad was a good decision.
