Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

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.
