Chapter 717 Suspicion

"Okay." Mandy nodded, but in her heart, she wanted to try to conceive sooner. She really could not wait
to have another baby. Although she wanted to have another baby so that Adrian could have a younger
sibling to grow up with, Mandy was a little afraid to get pregnant again. Because of what Adrian had
gone through, she was afraid that her second baby would go through the same ordeal. After she
married Nathan, children became the center of their family. Now that she was not sure yet whether or
not Eve did try to harm Adrian that one time, she could not bear thinking about giving birth to another
child to protect.

On the other hand, Nathan was happy. A smile appeared on his tight, serious face. He did not expect
that Mandy would recover so quickly, which meant that they could have their Seven soon.

When Nathan was about to ask John about the bacteria, he heard a distant ringing sound. Someone
was ringing the doorbell.

Lillian went to check who was at the door using the security cameras. Seeing Nacy and Simon at the
doorstep, she opened the door for them with a smile.

After dinner, Simon and Nacy had gone for a walk along the path. They held each other's hand and
decided to come by Nathan and Mandy's place.

"Brother, sister-in-law," Nacy smiled and said softly. Standing beside Simon, Nacy looked like an
innocent, sweet girl.

"Our honorable lady, what brings you here tonight?" Nathan raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"I've missed you so much. I know you're busy and don't have time to see us, so I figured I'd come and
see you," Nacy replied, ignoring Nathan's teasing. She sat on the sofa like she was at her own home.



Nathan squinted his eyes. He knew what was on her mind, even if Nacy did not tell him. She came
here to know more about the perfume.

"Well, your timing has never been more impeccable. Dr. Chen is here tonight. You can ask him to
check you out and prescribe some medicine for you. I've been taking traditional Chinese medicine for a
month, and my body has been getting better and better." Mandy smiled at Nacy.

With a gentle look on his face, John stood up. Nacy was one of the country's hottest stars. The news of
her pregnancy and miscarriage spread all over the nation like wildfire a few days ago.

"Really? Is it really that effective?" Simon's eyes lit up, and a smile tugged on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, it's time for you two to try and have a baby again. Look at Adrian, he's already four years old,"
Nathan joked with good intentions.

Nacy might have thought too much or felt really sad if someone else said that to her face, but when she
heard it from Nathan, she felt a little different.

Nacy looked around and did not find Adrian. Then, she looked at Nathan and asked, "Speaking of
whom, where is Adrian?"

"He's in his bedroom, playing with building blocks," Mandy replied with a gentle but proud smile on her
face. They were consulting with Dr. Chen tonight, so Mandy sent Adrian to his bedroom to play. He was
only a child, and it was not good for him to be around conversing adults.

"Let me check your pulse, Ms. Jin," John gently said, walking over to Nacy with a smile.

Nacy nodded and said, "All right."

Then, she stretched out her hand while John gently put two fingers on her right wrist. He frowned and
then checked her left pulse about a minute later.



John's face went a little pale, and his brows knit tightly. It made everyone around him worry deeply.

It would be much more difficult to treat Nacy than Mandy. At this point, she had a cold womb and a thin
uterine wall lining after the abortion. The only thing she could do now was to use some medical tonic to
help her uterus completely recover and get stronger. It was not an easy task to treat a cold womb, and
the treatment would take at least three months. What was more, the success of the treatment could not
be guaranteed. John had never had such a troublesome case before.

John looked into Nacy's eyes as he frowned and asked, "Ms. Jin, have you been suffering from severe
dysmenorrhea?"

Nacy nodded and said, "Yes, I have. But I didn't use to have it. I was ignorant of my health when I was
younger. I remember when I was still attending school. I would eat ice cream even when I had my
period. I nursed that habit for a few years until one day, I got dysmenorrhea and basically had it ever
since. It was getting better lately but still a little painful."

"Have you tried treating it with medicine before?"

"Yes, I've taken some medicine to improve my health, but they're too bitter. I don't like it when I drink
them. So, I gave up the treatment."

"Good medicine is often bitter. It's good for your health. You should take the medicine when it is
necessary. Well, I'll write you a prescription and send the medicine to your house tomorrow."

"All right then. Thank you, Dr. Chen." Nacy smiled kindly. She was very unlike herself long ago—a bitter
lady who got angry at trivial things.

Nathan looked at her and wondered what was wrong with her today. Why was she being so kind and
gentle? It was confusing.



"Dr. Chen, do you know anything about bacterial research and experiments?" Mandy asked directly.

John frowned and replied in confusion, "Bacterial research and experiments? Yes, I know a little bit
about them, but... Well, why are you asking about them anyway?"

"I'm just a little worried... Dr. Chen, have you ever heard of a type of bacteria that enters the human
body system and sits there to incubate for a few months? The patient will remain asymptomatic during
the entire incubation time and won't show symptoms until it is already too late to do something to flush
out the bacteria from the body. It is tricky to treat because the patient won't complain of anything until
the bacteria has grown too strong. Most patients die from the infection," Mandy asked in a calm tone,
but her face looked sullen.

"Yes, I've heard of that kind of bacteria, but acquiring it is strictly prohibited by the government. No one
is allowed to study it here because it's too dangerous. Again, why are you asking about it?" John was a
little confused. He himself did not have the chance to learn bacterial experimentation. More than twenty
years ago, when he was in medical school, he did not like the course. He always thought that he would
never come in contact with such little yet evil things.

"I suspect that Eve has injected some kind of bacteria into Adrian's arm when she took him away from
me without my permission. She secretly went to pick him up from kindergarten school and took him
away. After a long time, she brought Adrian back home but with a needle mark in his arm. I've been
worrying about that needle mark ever since."

"What? A needle mark?" Nacy asked in a sharp tone. She suddenly became angry.

"We don't have evidence that she did it. We don't even know where the needle mark came from.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid." Mandy bit her lip. She looked uneasy.

Staring at Mandy with his calm, dark eyes, Nathan opened his mouth and said carefully, "Don't stress
yourself out over this, honey. If Eve really did it, I would soon find out. I will expose her and make her



and her family die as revenge for Adrian."

"That's right. She is a vicious woman. We won't let her get away with his, Mandy. You can count on
that. My brother and I will make sure of it." Nacy spoke confidently, determination and ruthlessness
suddenly twisting her beautiful features. Adrian was her favorite nephew, and as long as she was
breathing, nobody would hurt him without going through her.
