Nina's thoughts were interrupted when she felt a sudden jolt of pain on her wrist. Instead of scolding John, she softly murmured, "Honey."
Ever since Nina called John by that endearment at the Blue Mountain, he had always asked her to call him that. Most of the time, Nina felt uncomfortable and was reluctant to say the word.
She wasn't used to calling him honey yet.
The only time that she would call him by that endearment was when they were alone. She would never say it when there was someone else near them.
At this moment, only John and Nina were inside the ward. Nina called out to John using the endearment again, her eyes blinking in pain.
John was quite shocked when he came back to his senses and saw that the person in front of him was Nina. At the same, he felt a little guilty.
Quickly, he pulled Nina closer to him and wrapped his arms around her. He loosened his grip on her wrist and just held her gently.
Sniffing, he smelled Nina's familiar fragrance. He felt calm with her in his arms. However, he couldn't shake the guilty feeling he had.
'What did I do just now?
How could I hurt her so carelessly?'
As he held her tighter, he whispered in her ear, "I'm so sorry."
He dreamed of what had happened on his tenth birthday.
A ga
d smiled gently at the couple.
"I heard that you fell off a building and hurt your waist." Nelson put down his son and walked up to John. Concern was written on his face. "Is your waist still okay after you two slept together?"
John was speechless.
He thought that his family just liked making fun with him instead of caring about him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. There's no problem," John answered calmly.
Then, Nelson let out a relieved laugh and said, "That's good. Sandra and I are going to Provence, and we'll be there for a month. Please take care of Chester in our absence."
Sandra Qin said to Nina, "Nina, thank you for taking care of Chester. He is an obedient kid, and I promise he won't give you any trouble."
Nina didn't feel anything strange about the first sentence that Sandra Qin said.
However, she felt that Sandra Qin was implying something with that second sentence.
"It doesn't matter. With a child at home, I won't be too bored," Nina agreed with a shrug.
"You should have your own child, and the North Yard will be much more lively." Smiling, Sandra Qin squeezed Nina's hand and thanked her again.
Lost in her thoughts, Nina pursed her lips slightly.
'The North Yard is a huge place. How many children do we need to make it lively?'
