Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Utter Despair
"Alright, it’s getting late. Please go quickly and come back soon."
In the blink of an eye, Holly Houston had already escorted Nina Quinn to the suite’s door.
Nina felt it might be her imagination, but she couldn’t shake off the feeling that Holly seemed anxious for her to leave today, as if afraid she’d ruin something good.
As for why she was going to the hospital, Holly didn’t ask.
Ultimately, Nina didn’t dwell on it.
After all, she and Holly were merely fair-weather friends, nothing more...
"Well then, I’m off. Enjoy... yourself!"
As Nina said the word "yourself," she deliberately glanced in the direction of the restroom,
and that glance made Holly break out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, after Nina uttered those words, she grabbed her purse and hurriedly left.
As soon as Nina’s figure disappeared down the corridor, Holly, standing at the suite door, was suddenly pulled back inside the room and pinned against the wall.
A deluge of kisses rained down.
These were the kind that Holly loved most from Nathan Jacobs.
But today, she pushed Nathan with a reversed hand, "Brother Nathan, don’t rush. Nina seemed to have noticed something just now..."
"Let her notice. We’re no longer involved with each other."
While passionately kissing her, Nathan soothed in a hoarse voice, "My dear Holly, now I’m only yours."
Holly, who had long secretly loved Nathan, was overjoyed to hear these confessional words spilling from his lips, immediately responded to his passionate kiss, embarking on their romantic and beautiful revelry.

When Nina Quinn arrived at the hospital, she first went to retrieve the previous results.
Upon seeing the DNA paternity test stating, "Charles Quinn is excluded as the biological father of July Quinn," Nina felt her heart was about to burst from her chest.
Wonderful!
July Quinn was indeed not a member of The Quinn Family’s bloodline!
In the future, none of The Quinn Family’s legacy would be left to July.
But before Nina could strategize on how to maximize the value of this DNA test, someone called out, "Nina Quinn, it’s your turn."
Indeed, Nina had an appointment with the gastroenterology department.
Her poor appetite in recent times and frequent abdominal pain made Nina suspect an issue with her digestive system.
However, Nina was caught off guard when, after sitting down before the head doctor of gastroenterology, the doctor said:
"Nina Quinn, you might be in the wrong department."
"I registered for a gastroenterology appointment, I’m sure."
Nina was about to present her registration record.
But the doctor said, "No, this is indeed gastroenterology, but you’re pregnant, you should head to obstetrics and gynecology."
A thunderbolt out of a clear sky would be no less.
It took Nina a long moment to find her voice: "I’m, I’m pregnant?"
"Yes, three months along."
"No, doctor, you must be mistaken,"
Nina’s face went so pale it was nearly translucent.
Three months...
Then this child couldn’t be Justin Callahan’s but rather... Nathan Jacobs’!
But it didn’t make sense, she had always taken precautions with Nathan no matter how wild they got.
How could she possibly end up pregnant?
"We are professionals; there’s no way it could be wrong."
"But I took precautions every time, how is it possible that I’m pregnant?"
"I don’t know. Perhaps ask the obstetrics and gynecology department. Next, please..."
The doctor, unwilling to waste further breath, immediately called the next patient.
Nina hurriedly donned her mask and glasses, rushing to obstetrics and gynecology.
But the answer from obstetrics and gynecology was the same: "Hello, you’re already three months pregnant."
Nina: "..."
It felt like utter despair.
