Chapter 570 He Wants Custody of the Child (3)
"That's her kid!"
"Why?"
Nathan noticed Jessica's distressed expression and quickly stepped in to support her. "Hey, it's okay, Jessica. It's not that bad yet. I'll help you out, don't worry, alright?"
A few minutes later, some bodyguards showed up at the entrance of the ward.
A sharp-eyed nurse was the first to spot them, and only then did Jessica realize that James had already arranged for people to keep an eye on her.
No matter where she went, he would know.
Jessica stood at the entrance of the ward, looking at the bodyguards pretending to be family members of patients, feeling utterly helpless.
Even if she called the police, they wouldn't have any evidence to arrest them. They hadn't done anything illegal.
That evening, when Nathan came over and heard about the situation, he said, "Don't stress. I've been thinking of suggesting to the hospital management that, to keep things orderly, each patient should only have one or two family members as caregivers. The caregivers would get hospital-issued passes, and no one else would be allowed in."
Jessica hadn't expected Nathan to come up with such a plan for her.
After all, Nathan was usually a very upright person, and she didn't want him to misuse his position for her sake.
So she said, "If we do that, a lot of patients will complain. Even if those bodyguards can't get into the ward, they'll still wait at the hospital entrance. I can't escape."
Nathan gave a bitter smile and said, "No wonder James treats you like this, and you still stay by his side. With someone like him, if he doesn't want to let you go, it's really hard for you to leave."
"Actually..."
Jessica sighed and said, "To be honest, he hasn't treated me that badly. On the contrary, he's been quite good to me. It's just that I have a bit of a cleanliness obsession. I can't tolerate sharing a husband with others. In this regard, I can't accept it."
Nathan hadn't expected that even at this point, Jessica would still speak up for James.
In her subconscious, she was still defending James.
He looked at her worriedly and asked, "So what are you planning to do in the future? Are you just going to keep dragging this out with him? Or are you going to keep fighting for custody after the baby is born? Jessica, you need to think clearly. Don't waste your youth on this misfortune."
Jessica was on the verge of breaking down just thinking about the possibility that James might take her baby away.
And she couldn't stay in the hospital forever.
Nathan looked at her with pity and finally couldn't help but say, "I do have an idea. It's a bit risky, but I believe it will make him give up."
Jessica was slightly taken aback and asked, "What idea?"
Nathan's eyes darkened as he leaned in and whispered something in her ear.
Jessica's face grew more tense, and by the time he finished, her heart was in her throat.
"Mr. Howard, will that work?" She was both scared and nervous.
Nathan nodded. "As long as you're ready to leave him, as long as you're willing, then it can work."
Jessica's hand rested on her belly. She hesitated for a long time and softly said, "Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
When it came time to leave, she realized how much she didn't want to.
Nathan glanced at his watch and said, "I won't stay with you tonight. There's an emergency surgery in my department that I need to get to."
"Mr. Howard, you go ahead. I'll be fine on my own."
