Chapter 182 Doubt
Janet glanced at it and saw the exaggerated title.
Janet thought, it was probably gossip. Just as Janet was about to turn it off, she found that the photos on the screen were of Anastasia and Nathaniel. Janet read the title.
“Shock! Anastasia, the Former Ballet Was Suspected to Be Pregnant. Mr. Webster Appeared at the Hospital and Went Home With
Anastasia.”
Janet thought, waste my time! Why did they always be reported for such kind of thing?
Janet closed the news and continued to work without a care.
After Nathaniel helped Anastasia up the stairs, he hadn’t been able to leave.
As soon as Nathaniel intended to leave, Anastasia used an excuse to ask Nathaniel to stay. Anastasia said that she was dizzy. Anastasia was afraid that no one would know that she had fainted at home.
Until Nathaniel saw the news…
When Nathaniel saw the gossip news about him as the main character, Nathaniel thought, did Janet see it?
In the news, there were photos of Nathaniel sending Anastasia to the hospital, and photos of Anastasia covering her mouth and retching. The gossip tabloids announced that Anastasia was pregnant, and Nathaniel took her to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
After sending Anastasia home, it was reported that Nathaniel went to Anastasia’s house, and Nathaniel didn’t come out late at night.
Nathaniel frowned.
Nathaniel had decided to return from Austin today on the spur of the moment. Nathaniel did not have the plan to go to the hospital from the very beginning. Nathaniel thought, why would paparazzi be waiting at the door as if they knew in advance?
Nathaniel walked to Anastasia’s side and looked at her.
Anastasia’s face was still a little pale, and Anastasia slept on the bed. When Anastasia saw Nathaniel come in, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes. However, when Anastasia saw the expression on Nathaniel’s face, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
Anastasia tugged at the comer of Nathaniel’s clothes and asked carefully, “Are you leaving? Can you stay…”
“Anastasia.”
Nathaniel called her name solemnly and handed the phone to Anastasia, indicating for her to take a look.
“Did you disclose this to the paparazzi in private?”
Nathaniel didn’t want to suspect Anastasia easily, but after what had happened before, Nathaniel wasn’t sure if Anastasia was still the girl
who saved him in the fire regardless of everything.
Nathaniel felt that Anastasia had changed.
Anastasia saw the news and shook her head. Her eyes turned red when she looked up at Nathaniel.
“Nathaniel, am I such a scheming woman in your mind?”
Nathaniel didn’t reply.
Nathaniel’s silence made Anastasia excited.
Anastasia thought, in the past, Nathaniel wasn’t like this. He could trust me unconditionally. But, why had he changed? Everything had
changed!
“So that’s what you think of me! Nathaniel, no matter what you think, I have never done it! If you don’t believe me, I will make it clear with
my death!”
Anastasia shouted, trying to get up from the bed and jump to the window.
“Anastasia, stop messing around.” Nathaniel stopped Anastasia with a frown.
“You don’t trust me! You are the one who doubts me! How can you doubt me? How can you?”
Anastasia couldn’t accept Nathaniel’s suspicion of her. Anastasia struggled desperately, and her emotions were unstable. Nathaniel had no choice but to call Alfred. Nathaniel asked Alfred to arrange for a private doctor to come over quickly.
When the doctor arrived, he immediately gave Anastasia a tranquilizer. Anastasia calmed down and soon fell asleep.
However, Nathaniel didn’t relax.
Nathaniel thought, compared to Anastasia, I was more concerned about Janet…
She was a liar, and I should not care about her. However, the first thought that flashed through my mind when the news came out was not
to let her know.
Even if it was fake at all.
There was an expectation in Nathaniel’s mind. Nathaniel wanted to know how Janet would react when she saw the news.
So Nathaniel could refute the rumor the first time, but he did not let Alfred do it. Nathaniel let the news be spread.
“Take good care of her,” Nathaniel instructed the private doctor, and then left Anastasia’s residence.
By the time Nathaniel reacted, he was already outside Janet’s residence.
Nathaniel subconsciously drove away, but stopped by the roadside and dialed a number…
