Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 1414

The bodyguard maintained his formal smile. "Mrs. Carter, Mr. Carter is waiting for you. You should go now."

Rosalie stood up, ready to leave, but just then, a weak voice came from the bed.

"Mommy."

"Nana." Rosalie immediately sat back down and held Nana's hand tightly.

Nana slowly opened her eyes. "Mommy, it hurts."

Sensing something, Nana felt tears well up in her eyes and stream down her face.

"Nana, everything will be alright." Rosalie's heart ached.

"Mrs. Carter," the bodyguard reminded from behind, "you should go now. If Mr. Carter becomes impatient, he might blame Nana."

He deliberately said this.

Rosalie leaned closer to Nana and whispered, "Nana, I'll be back soon. Don't be afraid. There are people here to protect you."

Rosalie didn't believe her own words, but she had to go. She feared Sebastian would lose his temper and take it out on Nana. He was capable of anything. He had even abandoned Nana when danger struck—how could he possibly see her as his daughter? To him, Nana was just a tool.

"If we lose a child, we can always adopt another."

He had actually said such words.

Rosalie wasn't surprised. Nana wasn't his biological child, so he could be heartless. But even if Nana were his own, who was to say he wouldn't be just as indifferent?

Rosalie gently released Nana's hand and tucked her in. "Mommy will be back soon."

Tears streaming down her face, Nana put her hands under the blanket.
