Chapter 717 – Meet Then
“Yes.” The doctor answered and opened the medical kit, looking for medication to give Cici Jagu an infusion.
Christine White just stood and watched.
Aunt Lucy came behind her, “Ma’am, why don’t you go back to your room and rest?”
“There’s no rush, wait a while.” Christine White shook her head and refused.
She was so insistent, Aunt Lucy stopped persuading her and stood quietly with her.
After standing for about a few minutes, the doctor finished the hangnail for Cici Jagu, “Ma’am, well, after this bottle of water, she should be fine.”
“Good, thank you Aunt Lucy, see the doctor out.” Christine White ordered.
Aunt Lucy nodded and made a please gesture to the doctor and escorted the man out of the room.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Christine White stood by the bedside, looking down on Cici Jagu, wondering in her heart why this woman, who had all the external qualifications and a small wealthy family, was bent on being the third party.
Is she really so in love with Baird Lane?
Christine White shook her head and said she didn’t quite believe it.
If Baird Lane was an old man, an ugly man, she believed Cici Jagu would never fall in love.
But it didn’t matter, her man, she wouldn’t let any woman take him away.
If Baird Lane could really be snatched away in the end, it only meant that Baird Lane, the man, was not worth it.
And she, too, wouldn’t hold on for an unworthy man, much less die for him; after all, the current her was not the same person who used to be able to live and die for the sake of love.
“Baird Lane, I hope you won’t let me down, or I really won’t let you go.” Thinking of this, Christine White murmured, then turned to go out as well.
She was pregnant now, and when she stood for a long time, her back ached, so it was better for her to go back to her room and rest.
Christine White went back to her room, and not long after she went back, Baird Lane and Hugh Dong came back.
Hugh Dong heard Aunt Lucy said Cici Jagu afternoon ran to the old house to look for Christine White, Christine White did not see her still rely on not leaving, so angry to let people throw people out.
It wasn’t until Aunt Lucy added later that Cici Jagu had a high fever and was still on fluids that she stopped.
“Why did you put her in a home and not just take her to the hospital?” In the room, Baird Lane took off his jacket and looked at the woman sitting on the bed reading a book.
Christine White turned a page in her book, “People have fevers that reach thirty-nine degrees, what if there’s traffic on the way there and it’s too late to get medical attention, what if she burns herself silly? Wouldn’t that still be our responsibility.”
Baird Lane pursed his lips, “Then as Nigel just said, when the person wakes up, kick the person out straight away.”
“That’s for sure, if we don’t kick her out do we still keep her in the house for New Year’s Eve?” Christine White looked up at him and smiled.
Baird Lane tugged the tie off his neck, “I’m going to take a shower.”
“Uh-huh.” Christine White nods.
Baird Lane heads towards the bathroom.
However by the time he gets out of the shower and goes to check on the woman in the bed, she has fallen asleep against the bed.
Baird Lane frowns and walks over.
This woman, since she doesn’t even lie down when she sleeps.
Baird Lane looked at the book still cupped in Christine White’s hand and reached out to take it.
Christine White seemed to feel it and opened her eyes with a muffled grunt, “You came out huh?”
Baird Lane hmmmed, “You sleep, I’ll help you lie down.”
“Good.” Christine White nodded and closed her eyes again.
With each day that passed in her pregnancy, she was now becoming more and more drowsy, and she could hardly be mentally alert for long before she fell asleep.
Baird Lane helped Christine White lie down, gently tucked her in again, and put the book on the end of the bed before he went to the side to blow dry her hair.
Only after blow-drying his hair did he lift the covers to bed and gently put his arms around her as she slept.
The next morning.
Aunt Lucy came over and knocked on the door, saying breakfast was ready.
Baird Lane picked Christine White out of bed and carried her to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out of the room after washing up, she met Hugh Dong who also came out of the room.
“Yo Christine, morning after.” Hugh Dong looked at Christine White and waved his hand to greet her.
As for Baird Lane, he pretends not to see her.
Christine White returned a smile, “Morning.”
“Why are you up so early today?” Hugh Dong asked as he walked beside her.
If it were normal, she would still be asleep at this time.
Christine White smiled back, “Somewhat hungry, time to get up.”
“That’s also true, you’re carrying a baby now, you can’t be hungry.” Hugh Dong nodded his head and said fussily.
Next to him, Baird Lane looked at the two people who were talking happily with each other, and his entire handsome face was dark.
These two people, are they treating him as if he doesn’t exist, right?
Feeling the cold air emanating from the man beside her, Christine White realized something and turned her head to look at the man’s unhappy face, knowing that he was jealous.
Christine White couldn’t help but feel a little amused.
Really, getting jealous with her own brother.
“Okay, don’t be mad.” Christine White put her arm around Baird Lane to calm him down.
Baird Lane looked down at her hand, and his face instantly improved, having a cloudy turn, then provocatively glanced towards Hugh Dong.
That look was clearly saying again, I have a wife and you don’t.
Hugh Dong’s face stiffened with anger and crossed over the two men toward the front.
Christine White watched the two men’s secret fight in her eyes and shook her head in amusement.
These two men, obviously so shrewd, but sometimes the things they do are childishly funny.
Coming to the dining room, breakfast was already set up.
Little Treasure was all carried by Aunt Lucy and was sitting obediently on the children’s chair, waiting for the meal to start.
He watched Christine White’s three people come in, his eyes lit up, and his voice softly shouted, “Mom, dad, second uncle, good morning.”
“Morning baby.” Christine White walked over and bent down to give Bo a kiss.
Baird Lane didn’t do that but also rubbed the little one’s head.
Hugh Dong returned the favor, “Morning, Little Treasure.”
Bao hmmm’d and nodded.
Baird Lane pulled out a chair for Christine White, right next to Bao.
Christine White sits down while Baird Lane pulls out the chair next to her and sits down.
The contrast of a family of three sitting on one side, and Hugh Dong sitting alone on the opposite side, makes him laugh as he watches Aunt Lucy.
Hugh Dong knows what Aunt Lucy is laughing at and looks over with a sly grudge, “Aunt Lucy, is it funny?”
“Second youngest, if you find a girlfriend and come back, I won’t laugh.” Aunt Lucy said waving her hand.
Christine White laughed at all of it.
Even Baird Lane’s thin lips hooked.
Only little baby still doesn’t understand what a girlfriend means, looking at Hugh Dong and then mom and dad, he doesn’t say anything and lowers his head down to continue eating.
Hugh Dong rubbed his forehead, “A girlfriend is not so easy to find, take your time, take your time.”
“Slowly again?” Baird Lane narrowed his eyes, “You are thirty-two this year, how much longer do you want to delay?”
“It’s still early to fifty, anyway, can’t I have a family before I’m fifty?” Hugh Dong waved his hand in disbelief.
Baird Lane snorted coldly and didn’t say anything anymore.
The family began to enjoy breakfast.
But just then, a maid suddenly walked in, “Sir, ma’am, that Miss Jagu is awake.”
Hearing this, Christine White put down her chopsticks and looked up towards Baird Lane.
Baird Lane’s brows wrinkled tightly, “Let her go when she wakes up.”
“Sir, I’ve already told that young lady, but she doesn’t want to go, she has to clamor to see you guys.” The maid said with great difficulty.
Hugh Dong grunted, “Can’t you just have the security guards rack her out?”
Baird Lane felt that this solution was feasible, nodded slightly, and was about to order it down.
Christine White suddenly pressed down his hand, “Wait Baird, let her come in.”
“What?” Hugh Dong and Baird Lane looked at her together.
Not understanding why she wanted to see that Cici Jagu.
