Chapter 736 Baby Fever

"It's good we've been rehearsing our response to this scene, or Miles wouldn't have been fooled," Jacob said with a laugh.

"Miles is just too familiar with the underworld and has seen too many dirty things. Otherwise, he might not be willing to accept me." Nia recalled the way Miles looked at her and still felt a lingering fear in her heart.

"He's not a good person to begin with, and it's all thanks to 'my mom' 's sharp tongue. During Christmas, she complained to me about many things he did. Keep a mistress and something like this. Now, as long as he accepts your existence, we'll be able to do more things in the future," Jacob said proudly.

"For some reason, there are more than a dozen bodyguards." Nia smiled so hard that her eyes curved. "With them around, Spencer will be more or less afraid of us."

"From tomorrow on, you'll bring these bodyguards with you to make it clear to Spencer that the Wood family is already protecting you," Jacob said.

"Casper, thank you for being considerate," Nia said as she nestled in Jacob's arms.

Jacob raised an eyebrow, and a smirk crossed his lips. Being considerate? He was just thinking of the big picture.

Spencer wanted to stab him in the back? They'll see about that.

Soon after, Spencer received a notice that Nia had many bodyguards around her for no reason. They were around her when they went out. He was puzzled. Didn't Miles receive the information that he had sent out?

As soon as Spencer noticed the change, Arthur and Lucia knew about it, and that night they started chatting on Facebook again.

In the past, Arthur was always on the phone when he had something to say. He had always thought texting was a slow and frustrating activity. But once he realized that texting could be a way to check chats over and over again, and that words could linger on the edge of intimacy, he fell in love with it.

"Nia's bodyguards are Miles' men," Arthur texted Lucia.

"Well, since Nia dares to be with Casper, she is confident that she could convince Miles. It seems that Miles has decided to support her wholeheartedly. Spencer's life will not be easy in the future," Lucia replied.

"He's not going to have a good time with me..."

Lucia couldn't help but smile at Arthur's proud words. She felt a little sad. If they could be together, she would probably be laughing in his arms right now.

Before he could reply, Arthur's message came back.

"Where are we on Helena?"

"Well, here's the news. Helena and Shawn's investigation found that Spencer's itinerary seems to coincide with that of a businessman in Chicago, but it's not clear if there's a connection between the two." "Next time he sets out, follow him," Arthur replied.

"These are the trifle. Helena and Shawn will take care of them," Lucia replied quickly.

"Compared to these... Otis found an opportunity to meet Helena on her way out. I heard that Shawn arranged it." Arthur did not hide his envy when he sent this message.

"Shawn has always been very supportive of Helena and me." Lucia's typing stopped right there. She realized that she had included Arthur and herself, but it was too soon to say that, so she was reluctant to delete the word "and me."

"Shawn has always been very supportive of Helena and Otis."

"It seems that the only person who hasn't changed the attitude is Ms. Wilson," Arthur said.

"She's a mother," said Lucia, explaining how important Esmae was to all of them.

"I know. It's just that sometimes, it's hard..." Arthur edited and hesitated for a moment before sending it to Lucia.

He wanted her to know he was waiting for her, even if it was only a vague display.

Lucia received this message and savored the meaning of his words. She was sad, and also vaguely looking forward to it.

After chatting with Arthur for a while, Lucia put down her phone and realized that she had been talking to him for more than an hour almost every night. There were no direct and limit from calls, and the way she had been sending the messages was fascinating.

Clutching the phone, Lucia looked at her and Arthur's messages over and over again, with her smile never ceasing.

Just as Lucia was thinking about the text messages, she heard a cry from the crib, and her heart skipped a beat as she got out of the bed to check on her daughter.

"Baby, why are you crying all of a sudden?" She murmured softly. Lucia carried her daughter up. After holding her up, she noticed that her daughter's face seemed to be unusually red. Lucia frowned and raised her hand to touch her forehead.

"Oh no, it's a fever!" Lucia exclaimed as the temperature in her hand was already high. She had been talking to Arthur and did not immediately notice anything unusual about the baby.

Having cared for Theodore before, Lucia knew that the baby would often have a high fever and that if she didn't care, the baby might have a seizure. So she carried the baby out of the room and knocked on Gene's door next door.

"Gene, baby has a fever. Call Jack and the others. We're going to the hospital now," said Lucia anxiously as Gene opened the door.

Gene touched the baby on the forehead and comforted Lucia who was sweating.

"I'll be right there, Lucia. Don't worry."

Gene then went to wake them up. When they heard that the baby had a fever, they quickly got dressed and wanted to go out, but as they were about to walk out of the building to the side door, they ran into an obstacle.

"Guys, where are you going?" From the dark slowly into the light, Dan appeared like a ghost. His voice was weird.

"Make way. The baby has a fever. We must send her to the hospital!" Jack snarled.

"Fever?" Dan didn't seem to believe his words. He glanced at Lucia and said with a smile, "Why does she have a fever? Are you guys trying to get out of here?"

Dan didn't care if Lucia went in or out of the building, but if she left with the kid, he'll stop her on Spencer's orders.

"Get out of the way, good dog," said Lucia, who hated the way Dan looked at her.

"That won't do," Dan whispered as he played with his fingers nonchalantly. "You can go. The baby has to stay."All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

"What's the matter with you?!" Victor couldn't resist shouting, "It's the baby who has the fever! She's the one going to the hospital. Why are we leaving her here?!"
