Not only Nancy was bewildered, but even Yanis and Bonnie were also taken aback.
Given Nancy's current condition, she could only consume liquid food, unable to eat anything else.
"You mute? Can't you answer my question?" Nancy's husband impatiently looked at her as she remained silent for a while.
Nancy furrowed her brow and gazed at her husband, asking, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? During your pregnancy, you ate like there was no tomorrow. Do you realize the suffering our child will endure?" Nancy's husband threatened, his tone suggesting aggression.
Yanis couldn't hold back, given Nancy's husband's attitude the previous night. He turned to Nancy's husband and inquired, "What's going on? What happened to the child?"
Yanis had seen the baby when it was born last night. Although tiny, the baby looked chubby, and the doctor didn't mention any problems. But now, seeing Nancy's husband's demeanor, Yanis sensed that something serious had happened to the child.
Upon hearing Yanis' question, Nancy's husband seemed to notice Yanis and Bonnie standing on the side. He turned his gaze towards them and asked, "Why are you here?"
Nancy's husband's tone didn't sound welcoming towards Yanis and Bonnie.
Yanis furrowed his brow slightly and replied, "Mr. Rivers, we came to see Nancy."
Nancy's husband responded indifferently, "What's so fascinating about having a child? If you want one, go have your own!"
Yanis couldn't tolerate Nancy's husband's words. He spoke before Nancy, "We don't care about your child. We came to see Nancy, and it's none of your business. Even though you're her husband, you don't have the right to prevent us from visiting her!"
Nancy didn't expect Andrew Rivers to show her such disrespect, and her face looked embarrassed. Her tone turned colder compared to earlier, "They are my friends who came to see me. It has nothing to do with you. And what did you mean by that? What happened to the child?"
Andrew seemed taken aback by Nancy's sudden assertiveness. He looked at Nancy in surprise and then replied in a cold voice, "It's because of all the random things you ate during your pregnancy. Now the child has to stay separately and undergo treatment!"
When Nancy heard Andrew's words, the color drained from her face even more. She tried to get up from the bed, but the surgical incision hadn't healed yet, and the movement caused her to gasp in pain.
Yanis turned to Nancy upon hearing the sound. "You just had surgery, don't move recklessly."
Nancy endured the pain caused by the accidental pull on her wound and looked at Andrew. "Explain clearly, what exactly is wrong with the child?"
Andrew said coldly, "The child has jaundice, and it's quite severe!"
Bonnie sneered upon hearing this. "Mr. Rivers, if you're unfamiliar with common knowledge, I don't mind enlightening you. Jaundice is common in newborns. About eight out of ten babies have it, and it usually improves after receiving treatment. It has nothing to do with what Nancy ate during pregnancy."
Upon hearing Bonnie's words, Andrew turned to her and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Jaundice is a common condition in newborns, and it's expected. Furthermore, after receiving medical treatment, it will improve without significant impact. And by the way, where were you when Nancy was pregnant?"
Bonnie's words left Andrew speechless. He attempted to retort several times but couldn't come up with a convincing argument.
However, Nancy couldn't recall exactly when things started to change between them. It seemed to happen in an instant.
Nowadays, Nancy didn't bother thinking about why Andrew suddenly became this way. Regardless of the reasons or outcomes, it seemed pointless.
They had already prepared a divorce agreement, planning to finalize it after she gave birth.
The one thing Nancy didn't anticipate was how quickly Andrew would change his attitude.
It was something she hadn't seen coming.
She had thought that even if Andrew had a change of heart, it wouldn't happen so soon. She had even considered waiting until after the baby was born to have a proper conversation with Andrew, hoping they could still work things out.
But now it seemed entirely unnecessary.
She didn't even have to wait until the baby turned one month old. Given the current situation, she could sign the papers right away.
Bonnie and Yanis remained silent for a while after listening to Nancy's words. They didn't know what to say.
"Are you both shocked?" Nancy looked at them, breaking the silence and softly asking.
