Chapter 509 To the Hospital
Over the next few days, Nicole spent most of her time researching the so-called ‘Z’ medicine with Julia. However, she hadn’t made any progress.
Still, there was news from the research center that the vaccine they previously researched had attained significant success, and it worked quite well in many tests. They would hold a press conference in a few days to announce this great news.
Nicole wasn’t too happy about it, though. At the moment, her entire focus was on Hayden. Now that Hayden had turned into this, she had to find a way to save him!
During the experimentation process, Julia suddenly frowned in discomfort, but she didn’t make a sound. She wanted to take a break before continuing with the experiment.
However, the pain coming from her stomach was so great that she couldn’t help but whimper. By the time Nicole noticed it, Julia’s face was already covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Nicole hastily went over to check. Julia’s face was terribly pale, and her lips were also white as she tightly clenched her teeth.
Nicole quickly found a stool and let Julia take a seat. Then, she began examining Julia in detail.
Julia was in so much pain that her face turned pale. She was a doctor in this field, so she had an overall understanding of her condition. She reached out and took Nicole’s hand, saying weakly, “Nicole, maybe… maybe it’s the child in my tummy.”
Nicole was surprised. Julia had been staying with her for research for so long that she almost forgot Julia was pregnant.
When she saw Julia gasp painfully for air, she felt remorseful as she helped Julia up and said quickly, “I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Nicole, I… Ah!”
Julia was about to decline when she felt another shot of pain in her tummy, and she couldn’t help but yelp.
Nicole’s expression was very serious as she took Julia’s hand and said, “Julia, the child comes first. I am to blame for not considering the fact that you’re pregnant. Let’s quickly go to the hospital now.”
Nicole was insistent, and she didn’t even give Julia a chance to protest as she took the latter to the hospital right away.
Julia was sent to the emergency room. Richard rushed here after receiving the news, and when he saw Nicole, he asked with reddened eyes, “Where’s Julia? How is she?”
Nicole looked at Richard and hesitated. In the end, she didn’t say anything.
Richard was instantly furious as he grabbed Nicole’s collar, his eyes red as he questioned, “What exactly happened to Julia? I know that Julia has been doing research with you these days, and she’s pregnant too. Those medicines would certainly have an effect on her!”
Nicole never thought that Richard would know all these. She pursed her lips and reached out, pushing Richard away. Then, she lowered her gaze and said, “Richard, the child in Julia’s tummy has nothing to do with you. Since you’re willing to marry into the Zuniga Family, quit pretending to care about Julia now!”
Richard looked furiously at Nicole’s face, which was filled with disdain. He wanted to step forward, but as he gazed at Nicole’s foul expression, he couldn’t say the words he wanted to.
He darkened his gaze, then simply asked in the end, “How is Julia’s condition right now? I am the child’s father, and I have the right to know no matter what.”
Nicole closed her eyes, her attitude softening.
“She’s still in the emergency room. We’ll have to wait until the doctor comes out.”
Richard didn’t say anything else. He leaned against the wall, overwhelmed with a huge sense of helplessness. He reached up to cover his face, which was shrouded with pain.
Previously, Colton had suggested to get someone to seduce Christi. Joshua had already carried out the mission, but it didn’t seem to amount to anything. Christi was still treating him like that.
Looking at Julia’s condition right now, he wanted more than anything to see Christi and explain clearly to her that he didn’t like her at all. They were together simply because her father had forced them to.
However, when he thought about the Jenkins Family, he grew cowardly again.
