Chapter 440: Chapter 440: Recommendation—Don’t Keep This Child
Nicole was startled by Ian Keane’s cold voice, her little mouth pouted, about to cry.
Ivana Monroe saw Nicole was scared by Ian, and frowned: "Ian, you can’t act like this. Nicole is our guest, we need to take care of her and cherish her, understand?"
Timmy nodded, indeed! Little Nicole is young and she’s a little girl, we should protect her!
But...
Brother will get jealous and doesn’t like it when mommy holds Nicole.
Brother probably never had a mommy before, and after suddenly having one, he cherishes her greatly, plus brother doesn’t like interacting with strangers or playing with unfamiliar kids, so he gets jealous!
Timmy understood brother very well.
Ian Keane said coolly with a little face: "She can be a guest at our house, but she can’t monopolize my mommy, that’s the bottom line."
Three black lines fell from Ivana Monroe’s forehead: Just hugging Nicole once has crossed the bottom line? What’s in this kid’s head?
"Ivana, give me Nicole!" Ivy Linden was really afraid that Ian Keane would scare her precious daughter, so she reached out and took Nicole from Ivana’s arms.
"Ivy, I’m really sorry." Ivana’s eyes showed an apologetic look.
"It’s nothing, Ian’s just a few years old, he’s dependent on his mom. It’s natural that he’d be upset to see his mom holding another child."
Ivy Linden smiled sincerely at Ivana.
Honestly, she was very grateful to Ivana today for helping her get Nicole back.
If it weren’t for Ivana, who knows what kind of abuse Nicole might have endured at the Lockwood family estate under Wendy Quinn?
Reflecting on it now, Ivy Linden’s heart trembled with extreme fear.
Hearing this, Ivana looked down at Ian Keane, the little boy turned his face away, his jade-like ears blushing slightly, Ivana smiled, this child seemed to be relying more and more on her now.
However, Ian’s severe jealousy is not right.
She needs to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Ian, to help him change this habit.
"Timmy, Nicole will live with us from now on, so you need to help mommy and Aunt Ivy take good care of Nicole, okay?" Ivana spoke gently to Timmy.
"Okay, mommy, Timmy promises to take good care of Nicole."
Timmy Monroe’s personality was lively and cheerful, and he obeyed Ivana’s words.
This time.
Ian Keane didn’t say anything, his small body leaned against Ivana’s leg, as if as long as Ivana didn’t hold other people’s children, he could accept everything else.
"Timmy big brother, you’re so nice."
Nicole looked at Timmy, her immature face beaming with a sweet smile.
Really likes Timmy big brother.
When Nicole was carried back to the bedroom by Ivy Linden, she sneaked a peek at Ian Keane, her little heart thumping.
Ian big brother is so handsome, as handsome as Timmy big brother.
But, Ian big brother likes to keep a cold face, as if he doesn’t like playing with Nicole.
Ian Keane turned his head, and Nicole was so scared she looked away.
She was afraid Ian Keane would get angry.
Mrs. Lockwood was waiting at home, but didn’t see Wendy Quinn bringing back Nicole, she looked at the clock hanging in the living room and murmured: "They’ve been out for almost three hours, could something have happened?"
"Madam Lockwood, don’t worry, maybe Nicole found the play area in the mall fun, and the future young lady is now playing with her in the amusement park!"
"Is that so? Wendy is really something, staying out for so long even while pregnant, she doesn’t even call to let me know she’s safe, I’m so worried."
Mrs. Lockwood was a bit angry.
"Madam Lockwood, since you’re worried about the future young lady and Miss Nicole, why don’t you give her a call?"
"Hmm, you’re right."
Mrs. Lockwood picked up the phone, and after a few seconds, the other side picked up.
"Wendy, why aren’t you back yet?"
Mrs. Lockwood asked with some displeasure, but a man’s voice came from the phone, it was a doctor.
Mrs. Lockwood’s face changed dramatically after hearing the doctor’s words, the phone dropped from her hand, she staggered backwards as if she could fall at any moment.
"Madam Lockwood..." The maid rushed over to support her: "What’s wrong with you? I’ll call an ambulance immediately."
Mrs. Lockwood grabbed the maid’s arm, her voice trembling: "It’s not me... something happened to Wendy, help me to the car, quickly call the driver to take me to XX Hospital."
At XX Hospital.
Mrs. Lockwood was assisted by the maid into Wendy Quinn’s ward, where the doctor was already inside.
Mrs. Lockwood saw Wendy Quinn’s pale face, her heart clenched hard, she pushed the maid aside and weakly ran to grab the doctor, her voice trembling: "Doctor, has the baby in her belly been saved?"
The doctor’s arm was in pain from Mrs. Lockwood’s grip: "Family member, calm down, please release your hand first."
Mrs. Lockwood shouted: "That’s my grandchild, it’s not your grandchild, how can you tell me to calm down? I want you to tell me right now, how is my grandchild?"
The doctor frowned, this family member was being quite unreasonable.
The doctor said: "I understand your feelings, but... please release your hand first, alright?"
Mrs. Lockwood was nearly dying from anxiety: "If you don’t say it, I won’t let go."
The doctor was exasperated, encountering such unreasonable family members, he looked at the maid who came with Mrs. Lockwood, thinking she was a relative: "Can you try to persuade her?"
Mrs. Lockwood was in a fiery state!
The maid dared not persuade?
The maid said: "It’s just a question, isn’t it? You answer and it’s over, is there a need to hide it?"
The doctor’s face turned blue, what kind of people were these?
The doctor was very upset, he forcefully pulled Mrs. Lockwood’s hand away, without needing to roll up his sleeve, it was clear that the spot where Mrs. Lockwood grabbed was bruised.
Mrs. Lockwood attempted to grab him again.
The doctor shouted: "Do you want to know her condition or not?"
Mrs. Lockwood paused.
The doctor stepped back a few feet, keeping a distance from Mrs. Lockwood: "The patient is your daughter-in-law, right? Your daughter-in-law has severe miscarriage symptoms, and after examination, the fetus’s condition is very bad, we recommend not keeping this child."
Mrs. Lockwood heard this and felt dizzy.
The drowsily awakened Wendy Quinn on the bed almost fainted from anger again.
Her child... if her child is gone, then Samuel Lockwood would never want her, plus Mrs. Lockwood, this old lady is so realistic, if this pregnancy can’t be saved, Mrs. Lockwood would change her attitude towards her too.
Wendy Quinn regretted deeply now, had she known, she would never have taken Nicole out and handed her over to Ivy Linden.
She was carrying the Lockwood family’s grandchild, as long as she had Mrs. Lockwood’s backing, why fear Ivy getting back with Samuel Lockwood?
She was really too stupid.
She should have found an opportunity to get rid of that little brat Nicole.
As long as Nicole was gone, Ivy would definitely despise Mrs. Lockwood and Samuel Lockwood, and there would be no chance of her and Samuel getting back together.
"Liar... you quack... it must be because of your incompetence that you’d say such words cursing my grandchild... call your director over, I want you to call your director over immediately!"
