Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 457

hapter 457

Ten minutes later, Sherri came to Natalie’s ward. She was fast when she walked, and she did not seem to be a pregnant woman at all.

She saw her best friend sitting calmly on the bed and then looked at Trevon, who was tidying up Natalie’s clothes “Didn’t you say that you weren’t feeling unwell?

“Was there blood?”

Sherri’s belly was not big, and her waist was not round. Only her bulge was quite conspicuous. Sherri guessed that Natalie had bled. If her water had broken. Trevon and Natalie would not be so calm, and Natalie would definitely be lying by now.

Natalie looked at Sherri and answered with a smile. “I suppose you’re going to say that it’s oxytocin

Sherri rolled her eyes at her best friend. “It inust be oxytocin. Give me your Medicare code, and I’ll issue the invoice.”

Just as she finished speaking, Sherri left the ward quickly.”

Natalie had intended to ask the nurse to go with Sherri, but she was already gone.

For a moment, Trevon and Natalie suspected that Sherri was not pregnant. Her pregnancy did not affect her movements at all, and her feet were not swollen.

As expected, there were still differences between people. They could not be generalized. For example, every woman had different reactions when they were pregnant.

After a while, Sherri returned with Natalie’s Medicare code and a long list of items that needed to be checked. There was a blood test, an ultrasound, and fetal heart care.

After glancing at Sherri’s protruding belly. Trevon looked away. “I’ll go with her.”

Although Sherri seemed to be able to walk with ease with her big belly, if something really happened to her when she was taking care of Natalie’s business, Trevon was sure that Hackett would kill him.

It was more convenient for Sherri to walk than Natalie, but it was still tiring to go back and forth upstairs and downstairs. Sherri did not dare to do this. She still planned to help her best friend deliver the babies.

Hence, she did not turn down on Trevon’s help. Besides, she supposed that Trevon should help her while taking care of Natalie’s business, by which he would have a sense of participation. “Okay. I’ll go to the office to chat with the guys first. I’ll get off work after you’re done with your checkup.”

“Sure, Dr. Landor. Thank you for working overtime.”

“You’re welcome. For my godchildren’s sake, I have to do my best no matter what.”

An hour later, all the examinations were done and the results were made since Trevon had asked for extra help. He helped Natalie to the ward with a stack of results in his hand.

Natalie was afraid that Sherri would go into labor while going back and forth. She instructed Trevon, “Send the results over and have Sherri read them, in case she comes again.”

“Okay. Sit still.”

As they were talking, Sherri came in again. It seemed that Natalie’s instruction was in vain. “You’ve finished your checkup. Let me read the results. As the professional Dr. Landor, I’ll now do my job.” She took the results from Trevon and read them carefully.

At the side, Trevon stared nervously at the results that he could not understand. Without blinking, he placed a hand on Natalie’s shoulder.

After a while, Sherri said, “Did your belly hurt when you came to the hospital from the Wilson’s residence?”

Natalie shook her head truthfully. She could not joke about this kind of question. “No. I merely bled a little.”

Sherri nodded seriously. “From the ultrasound scan, your babies are quite big. It will be tough for you if you take natural labor, and you will suffer less if you take a c–section. So, what’s your opinion?”

Before coming, Rachel had instructed that Natalie should have a c–section if her babies were too big. The instructions echoed in her ears. “I’ll take the c–section.”

Both Sherri and Natalie had kept their first babies in a proper weight very well so that they would not need a c–section. As they wished, they didn’t need that surgery. But that could not be guaranteed when it came to Natalie’s current babies. She had a great appetite, and her family had also offered her all kinds of food. They hoped that she would be nutritionally balanced, and her babies were obviously overweight.

In the end, after they discussed it, the surgery was scheduled for tomorrow morning, when the air would be fresh, and good things were likely to happen at that time.

Both Trevon and Natalie wanted the surgery to take place in the morning.

Chapter 457

After Sherri left, Trevon squatted in front of Natalie. “Natalie, I’ll go to the operating room with you tomorrow. Don’t be

afraid

Natalie wondered which one of them was being afraid.

Her eyes were firm as she rejected hins. “No. If I were to do natural labor tomorrow, I wouldn’t object to you following me in. However, since it will be a C–section, you’d better not go in. It will be too bloody and you’ll be traumatized.” Although he might also be traumatized if she were to do natural labor, at least the scene wouldn’t be that bloody.

When Trevon heard what she said, his eyes dimmed. He held her hands tightly and squatted on the floor, pursing his lips without saying a word.

Trevon wanted to go into the operating room with her. He did not want Natalie to be alone by then, but she did not want him to go there with her. Usually, he could not bear for her to be injured at all. She was afraid that if he saw her belly cut open with his own eyes, he would not get that bloody scene out of his head.

There would be a huge psychological impact.

The two of them stood in each other’s shoes and thought for each other.

Natalie forced a smile and pulled Trevon up from the floor. She wrapped her arms around his waist and said, “Trevon, the operating room is not a place for beautiful scenes. You’ve already done your best during my pregnancy. I hope that everything between us is beautiful. The scene in the operating room is not something I want you to see although I’ll be giving birth to our babies.

“You can stand outside the operating room and wait for me. Don’t leave. Is that okay?”

Trevon seemed to understand what Natalie meant and agreed readily. He rubbed her hair and said, “Alright. I’ll listen to you. I’ll wait for you outside the operating room.”

Natalie didn’t see that his eyes were dark and meaningful.

Early the next morning, Natalie had already changed into hospital clothes and was lying on the bed. She had not drunk a single drop of water since last night.
