She smiled and said to her grandmother, “That’s right, you’ll have to help me babysit in the future. Though, who the baby’s father will be is still up in the air.”

Lance’s gaze darkened significantly.

A look of realization flashed through the older woman’s eyes. She smiled and said no more.

Nathalie had wanted to stay the night, but Lance kept staring at her with a heavy gaze.

Frowning slightly and afraid he would start spouting nonsense, she told her grandmother, “It’s getting late. We’re going to head back first.”

But her grandmother grabbed her hand, pulled her straight into the study, and lowered her voice to ask, “Nathalie, what’s going on? Are you two not getting a divorce anymore?”

Nathalie’s eyes flickered, and she said, “We are, but something came up Nathalie’s eyes flickered, and that hasn’t been fully resolved yet. Once it’s completely settled, I won’t have anything to do

with him.”

Her grandmother pressed, “But looking at Lance’s attitude, it seems like he’s regretting it?”

Nathalie smiled faintly. “He won’t. He was just joking with you. He cares way too much about his older brother’s child. Did you forget? He got a vasectomy.”

Hearing this, the older woman’s face immediately darkened. “He has his priorities completely backward. Neglecting his own family for the sake of someone else’s child. I still support your divorce. I think Freddy is quite nice. It’s just a pity he isn’t your type.”

Nathalie said, “Alright, stop overthinking. I’ll come over tomorrow to go to the hospital with you.”

“Alright, good.”

Coming out of the apartment building, the streetlights shone down on them, stretching their shadows.

Nathalie walked behind him, maintaining a certain distance.

“Nathalie?”

Right then, Freddy’s voice rang out. He was holding a leash, walking his dog.

“Freddy.”

Nathalie’s eyes flickered, but she still offered a polite greeting.

Freddy walked over, his eyes shifting slightly as he looked at the two of them walking together. “Did you come back to see your grandmother?”

“Yeah, I did.” Nathalie nodded.

Freddy asked again, “How is her health?”

“Pretty good.”

One question, one answer, yet it felt incredibly distant.

Freddy sensed it. He hesitated, glancing at Lance beside her.

The implication was obvious: he had something he wanted to say to Nathalie and wanted Lance to give them some privacy.

But Lance acted as if he didn’t see his expression at all, just standing to the side, his gaze fixed on the dog.

Nathalie blinked lightly and said, “Freddy, I have things to do, so I need to go now.”

Freddy’s brows furrowed. “Nathalie, I wanted to ask you something.”

Her sudden coldness and distance bewildered him, so he wanted to get

to the bottom of it.

But it seemed she wasn’t even going to give him the chance to ask.

She shook her head. “Let’s talk another time. I really have things to deal with right now.”

“Alright then.”

Freddy didn’t press the issue. Watching her and Lance leave together, the look in his eyes behind his glasses grew considerably darker.

Why was she suddenly distancing herself from him?

What exactly had happened?

The next day.

Nathalie accompanied her grandmother to the hospital. At the hospital entrance, she said, “Grandma, call me if you need anything. I’ll just wait for you out here.”

The older woman smiled and nodded. “Okay, don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Nathalie thought of Winnie and still felt uneasy. She directly called Nicol out and said, “Go inside with my grandmother.”

Nicol hesitated. “But what about you here?”

Nathalie replied, “I’ll stay right here and won’t go anywhere. There are others protecting me in secret anyway. There are a lot of people here; nothing will happen.”

Hearing this, Nicol had no choice but to nod.

Nathalie watched them walk into the hospital, then pulled out her phone and dialed Garth’s number.
