The driver was startled by Nana’s sudden pain and quickly carried her into the car, anxiously saying, “Miss, hold on. I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
Nana lay in the back seat feeling waves of pain in her abdomen and cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
What was happening to her? She was six months pregnant; there shouldn’t be any problems, right? But why did she feel so much pain in her stomach? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She took deep breaths to calm herself down.
The driver rushed to take her to the hospital. If anything happened to Nana today under his watch, he would be finished.
Thinking of this, he quickly called Mrs. Waters.
Mrs. Waters was sound asleep when suddenly a phone call woke her up from a deep sleep.
“Who is it calling at this hour?” Mrs. Waters grumbled as she answered the phone irritably.
On the other end of the line came a panicked voice from the driver, “Mrs. Waters! Something’s wrong with Nana! Her stomach hurts suddenly and I’ve taken her to First Hospital.”
“What?” Mrs. Waters froze for a moment before reacting: “You said Nana? What happened?”
Wasn’t Nana supposed to be sleeping at home now?
How could she suddenly have stomach pains and end up in hospital?
Why didn’t anyone tell her anything about this?!
“Miss went looking for Young Master on set but couldn’t find him,” said the Driver cautiously over phone, “and then she had sudden abdominal pains… now we’re at First Hospital… do you think someone should come here and look after her?”
“Okay, I got it.” Mrs. Waters’ face turned icy cold.
Mr. Waters also woke up from his sleep and asked beside, “What’s going on? Is something wrong with Nana?”
Mrs. Waters glared angrily at Mr. Waters, “Who knows what happened! They say they’re already inside hospital now! Why isn’t that girl sleeping instead of running around set at three o’clock in morning!”
“What?! Is our grandchild okay?” Mr. Waters exclaimed anxiously as he got out of bed immediately, “I need go see them right away!”
“If anything happens our grandchild…” Worried thoughts flashed across Mrs. Waters’ face as well.
Carl returned home exhausted after working all night long only seeing his mother changing clothes hurriedly, “Mom, where are you going so late tonight?” he didn’t know about Nana’s situation yet.
His mother held up her mobile phone anxiously saying, “The driver just called me, said that Nana had sudden abdominal pains, and has been taken into hospital. I’m going there now, you should come too.”
Listening to Mrs. Waters, Carl furrowed his brow in concern. “What? Nana went to the hospital!” He didn’t even have time to change his clothes at home and rushed off to the hospital.
All the way there, he worried about Nana’s health and prayed that she and their unborn child were okay.
Only when he sat in the car did he realize that his phone had died and shut down at the set. What if Nana tried contacting him but couldn’t reach him, causing her anxiety?
Annoyed with himself, Carl looked at his phone before throwing it on the seat next to him.
At the hospital, Carl hurriedly asked their driver, “Where is Nana?”
The driver pointed towards an examination room. “The doctor is checking on her.”
Carl rushed inside anxiously asking, “Doctor, my fiancée is okay, right?”
The doctor pushed up his glasses. “Her mental state was unstable due to pregnancy which affected her mood resulting in abdominal pain but it’s nothing serious as long as she maintains a happy mood from now on.”
Unstable mental state?
Carl was puzzled as he sat beside Nana and hugged her tightly. “Nana, what happened?”
Thinking of how intimate Grace looked with Carl in that photo made Nana feel sour inside so she turned away from him without saying anything.
“I said keep a happy mood,” Mrs. Waters walked into the room just then hearing what Doctor said, giving a stern look towards Nana.
“Mom, you better not say another word,” Carl protected Nana while Mr. Waters spoke up beside them saying they should go home since everything was fine now.
Thankfully both mother-to-be and baby were safe after all this fussing around for one night so they headed back home together with relief.
“Nana, what happened exactly? Why would you suddenly feel stomach pain out of nowhere?” Seeing how unhappy she looked made Carl couldn’t help but ask concernedly.
“See for yourself!” Nana took out her phone showing a picture of him with Grace handing it over to Carl.
Carl took Nana’s phone looking down only seeing himself helping Grace who fainted making them look very close together.
But why would there be such a photo?
“Where did this photo come from?” asked Carl thoughtfully.
“I don’t know!” Nana rolled her eyes irritably before continuing sarcastically, “Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself?”
“Nana, it’s not like what you think! Don’t you trust me yet? I only have feelings for one person, you.” Calmly explaining himself patiently, Carl hoped Nana could understand better knowing that Grace fainted so he just helped out briefly.
Nana turned away, giving Carl her back.
She didn’t know whether or not she should believe Carl’s explanation. Just thinking about that photo made Nana feel uneasy.
The next day, Carl was worried about Nana and called Jane. “Jane, something happened with Nana last night. Can you come check on her?”
Jane had just been getting ready to go to Star Entertainment when she received the call from Carl. She asked concernedly, “What happened with Nana?”
Carl briefly explained the situation and ended with, “Jane, you know how I feel about Nana. Grace and I really have nothing going on between us. But since Nana is pregnant now, she’s more prone to overthinking things and won’t listen no matter how much I explain.”
“Okay,” Jane sighed in frustration before saying firmly, “I don’t want to hear any more of it. I’ll go talk to Nana.” She rubbed her forehead before continuing in a softer tone of voice, “But Carl… you need to consider how your actions affect her feelings too, especially since she’s pregnant.”
“I understand,” replied Carl as he nodded his head.
Jane drove over to the Waters’ family home where she met up with Nana.
“Jane? What brings you here?” asked a surprised-looking Nana who thought Jane would be at work at this time of day.
Walking into the room with a gentle smile on her face, Jane said, “Carl told me that you were hospitalized last night so I came by for a visit.”
At the mention of what had happened last night, sadness flickered across Nana’s eyes as she began speaking hesitantly, “… Carl…”
“Carl has told me that there’s nothing between him and Grace,” Jane patted Nana’s shoulder and comforted her softly. “I’ve known Carl for many years, and I know what kind of person he is. Although he may seem carefree at times, when it comes to relationships, he is devoted.”
“Nana, don’t let your thoughts run wild. Have confidence in yourself and in Carl.”
“Actually, if you think about it carefully, the person who sent you those anonymous photos must be trying to make you misunderstand Carl, to ruin the relationship between you two. If you really misunderstand Carl because of this, wouldn’t it be a case of ‘those closest to you can hurt you the most’?”
“Okay.” Nana nodded faintly.
After comforting Nana for a while, Jane drove to Star Entertainment.
