Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 574

After Natalie made an appointment for Ava, they attended the examination together. The examination lasted over an hour, and every aspect was normal.

Reviewing the report she held, Ava was puzzled by the lack of fluctuations in the indicators. She pondered over the possible reasons for this.

In her mind, many question marks were floating around.

With a concerned expression, Natalie took Ava’s hand and led her to the office. “Come on, the results are all good. Maybe you’re too nervous, or the academic

pressure is too much.”

Ava continued to shake her head. Sitting across from each other, she placed the report on the table, not planning to return it to the Roberts family. “Sister, let me

tell you something. You have to keep it a secret.”

In a hushed tone, Ava stood up, approached Natalie’s ear, whispered a few words, and then shyly stood aside.

Upon hearing this, Natalie gazed at her sister in surprise, attempting to read the truth from her expression. She observed her sister lowering her head, appearing

embarrassed. “Take a seat. Why are you feeling embarrassed? Have you thoroughly considered it?”

Ava nodded. “Yes, I’ve thought about it. Sister, why do you think there is no result even after the examination? Everything seems normal.”

Contemplating the absence of any issues in the examination, she pondered where the problem might lie and was eager to uncover it.

From the results, it seemed that Ava’s body was fine. The only possibility was that she was too nervous. “Ava, don’t keep thinking about this. Relax and let things

happen naturally. If you’re too stressed, it might have the opposite effect. Psychological effects are particularly evident.”

Natalie felt uneasy delving into further details about this matter. She refrained from elaborating, particularly mindful of what Frank might think.

Ava widened her beautiful eyes and felt very nervous. “Is this related to nervousness? Is it because | am nervous?”

Natalie nodded. “You are nervous right now.”

“Okay, maybe a little?”

“If you’re nervous and unprepared, you can wait a bit. There’s no need to pressure yourself. Frank won’t rush you.”

more lively. Going back home for dinner was a better idea. As Frank and Ava returned home, the living room was filled with the voice of Rose and the noisy sounds of children, but the source of the noise was not the living room. It was from the phone. At this moment, Grace was video-chatting with Rose. The phone’s camera was pointed at a little person, Rose’s son. He was sitting on the robot vacuum, following it around the large living room, clapping excitedly. The robot vacuum seemed peculiar. Objects were scattered everywhere, and only Rose could unravel their mystery. Meanwhile, Ruby was anxiously following by his side, and Hackett’s son sat on the floor, happily playing with a spinning top. The scene was harmonious. Rose had liberated her hands, entrusting the child to the robot vacuum, and praised its practicality. “Harper really likes this machine. He sits on it three times a day. It’s truly a magical tool for parenting.” She freed her hands. The only flaw was that some modifications were needed so the child wouldn’t fall off the robot. Frank held Ava’s hand and walked to the sofa. He glanced at Grace’s phone without expression. “Just let Harper call the robot vacuum the mummy.” Ava chuckled at the amusing image of the child circling the robot. More importantly, the whole family accepted Frank’s behavior without objection. Rose said, “What’s the big deal? It’s part of childhood. You used to be mischievous, too. For example, when you needed to pee urgently.” Frank was concerned that his sister might disclose more information. He warned her, preventing her from continuing, “Take a moment to think. Choose your words carefully.” Rose could sense the implicit threat through the screen. She restrained herself from saying what she intended. She didn’t dare to continue, as she knew urinating in public was an incredibly embarrassing matter to Frank. “Alright, Ava, you visited Natalie today, didn’t you?” Grace handed the phone to her daughter-in-law and said, “Sit down.” “Okay.” Ava took the phone and sat next to
