My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1290

"She has been sleeping ever since breakfast!" Valerie said, glancing at Anne on the bed.

I reached out and touched Anne's forehead. It was indeed a little hot. I sighed and said, "Anne was premature and never drank breast milk since birth, so she has a weaker immune system. When we lived in Hovell, the weather conditions there were suitable for her. She didn't get ill much. It might be the air quality in Jarold City that caused her immune system to weaken."

Valerie sighed. "I tried giving her some nutritious food, but she couldn't eat anything. She's becoming thinner and thinner each day. Jarold City is indeed not for her. You should take her back to Hovell. For a child her age, the most important thing is her health."

I nodded. I had been thinking about this matter for the past few days. I didn't have to go to work at the Milton Group for the time being, so I didn't have much on my plate. If I brought Anne back to Hovell by myself, Hendrix might also want to come, which would delay his work. Sebastian was eyeing his every single movement, like a tiger eyeing its prey. I was afraid that he was waiting for Hendrix to make a mistake so that he could take advantage of the Roberts Group.

"After a few days, when Hendrix's affairs are handled, we will go to Hovell to live for a while!" I said. Looking at her small face, I was suddenly reminded of Sonia's daughter, who was also the same age as Anne.

Valerie hummed and said, "You should tell Hendrix not to spend so much time on work. You two aren't young anymore. I asked the doctor. It's not that you can't give birth, but the injury was serious and some organs were damaged. After so many years, it has almost recovered. Take time to go to the hospital. You two should have your own baby. Two days ago, I ran into Nerissa in the hospital. She was with a man about the same age as her. I watched them go to the obstetrics and gynecology department. I heard that she was asking if she could get pregnant. I think she wants a child."

I was stunned. For the past few years, Nerissa had stayed in Jarold City. Recently, she'd found a house in the suburbs to do some gardening by herself. I originally thought that she was content with spending the rest of her life like this. I didn't expect that she would meet the right person and want to have children again.

After a moment of silence, I smiled and said, "It's good. She has been tormented by the Grangers for half of her life. Now that she has met the right person and wants to settle down with him, she doesn't have to spend the rest of her life alone anymore."

Valerie nodded and said, "Yes. As you grow older, you become more and more afraid of loneliness. You and Hendrix should hurry up and have a child of your own. This family will be more lively in the future. Look at Freya, her child is almost six months old. If you give birth, don't worry about raising them. I'll help you. I've handed over the company's affairs to Sawyer. I have time and energy to look after children now."

I couldn't help but laugh. I said, "Let nature take its course. Anne has been with you all this time. If I want to have another one, you won't have the energy to take care of two children."

"That's not a big deal. Your father has plenty of time on his hands. Give him a grandchild. It'll cure his bad temper." As Valerie spoke, she couldn't help laughing.
