Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 421
Advertisement
"What about Anya's condition? Will this pregnancy affect her health?" For Aiden, Anya's health was number one.
He did want to have children together with Anya, but what did it mean to have children if his wife was not well?
"The fetus is healthy. Anya's health is also fine. She only had mild anemia. I can give her medicine for anemia. But Anya has to maintain her health and eat nutritious food."
Then Tara looked at Anya. "In the early trimester, the womb is so delicate that you have to be careful. You may also feel nauseous. Avoid raw and spicy foods, as well as caffeine. You also have to rest a lot, don't work too much and don't exhaust yourself,"
After that, Tara thought for a moment and continued, "Tomorrow, go to the hospital for further examination. I have checked you and made sure that there is no problem in your pregnancy, but to be safe you have to undergo an examination in the hospital. However, you also need a gynecologist to help you give birth later,"
Aiden called Hana and whispered something to her before she left the place quickly.
A few moments later, Hana came back with a very thick envelope in her hand. "Doctor Tara, sorry to trouble you that you have to come here at night. Thank you for your hard work,"
Seeing the super thick envelope, Tara's eyes immediately sparkled with joy. "Thank you, Aiden," she immediately accepted the envelope without the slightest feeling of hesitation.
"Money lovers are very happy when they see money," Nico teased.
"I really love money. What's wrong with it?" Tara stuck her tongue out at Nico. Then she immediately put the envelope into her bag. After checking on Anya, she was ready to go home.
Before leaving, she returned to advise Anya. "Do you know what you should and shouldn't do during your pregnancy?"

"Aunt Diana and Mrs. Hana are here. Everything will be alright. Let's go, I'll take you," Nico took the medicine box that Tara was carrying and took the woman's arm with the other, leading her toward the door.
"I am a doctor. You can take me away after I finish checking on Anya," Tara grumbled irritably.
"Have you ever been pregnant or had children? Have you ever given birth?" Nico asked.
Diana and Hana already had children. With them, Anya would be fine.
Aiden would be 32 years old soon and it's not easy for Anya to get pregnant like this. Right now, their feelings must be mixed. They must be happy, anxious and also scared because this was their first pregnancy so they needed some time alone ...
After understanding what Nico meant, Tara followed Nico to her car and sat in the front passenger seat happily. "At least my arrival today was not in vain. . "
She took the envelope out of her bag and began counting the contents.
"How dare you count money in front of me? Aren't you afraid I will rob you?" Nico said on purpose.
"If you dare to take my money, I will fight you. Let's fight," Tara immediately took the envelope away from Nico.
Nico just laughed at her. "I'm not short on money. If I want to steal, I will take you instead, not your money,"
"Aren't you afraid to die? Are you crazy?" Tara's eyes bulged sharply as she took the syringe out of her medicine box and threatened Nico.
Tara's reaction made Nico laugh out loud. "I am just kidding. Alright, I'm driving. Don't bother me."
Tara counted the money she got and put it back in the envelope. "Your uncle is very generous. He gave me a lot of money. I will give it as your reward,"

"That is the money you work on. Why did you give it to me?" Nico was driving so he didn't receive the envelope from Tara.
"Your engagement party is coming in three days. This is a gift from me. As a friend, I wish you happiness," said Tara.
"If you really expected my wedding with Lisa, believe it or not, I'm really going to kiss you right now," Nico stopped his car on the side of the road. Then, he turned to Tara and grabbed the back of her chair with one hand. His face drew closer.
Tara could feel Nico's breath, making her heart beat even faster.
She tried to control her heart, but only an awkward laugh escaped her mouth. "Then I will not pray for your marriage. I'll just give you a present. I've to work and can't attend your engagement party," then, Tara put the envelope Aiden had given her on Nico's thigh.
Nico felt very uncomfortable when he saw the envelope. "Tara, do you think I need this?"
"No, but it's a form of sincerity from me. You have to…" Tara's eyes widened as Nico's face drew closer. And then, his lips touched hers.
She could only feel something soft against her lips. As soon as she realized what was happening, Tara's face turned red. She was really confused.
Nico held himself with his hands behind the back of Tara's chair, trying not to squeeze her.
But this sudden kiss was beyond her expectations. Tara was so scared!
Her heart almost fell out of nervousness. She didn't understand how this could happen.
She was kissing a man about to be engaged in a few days, in a car and on the side of the road. Was he really out of his mind?
After that, she heard Nico's deep voice. "Tara, even if I'm engaged to someone else, you have to wait for me. Do you understand?"
Tara was stunned and didn't know what to answer. She could only clear her throat softly to get rid of her nervousness and turned her gaze out of the window.
Nico could only sigh deeply. "I hope you can come on my engagement day. If you are not there, why do I even fight for all this..."
"Have you got what you want?" Tara asked in a low voice.
"Atmajaya Group and Srijaya Group have reached a cooperation agreement. Since Lisa was pregnant, my grandfather gave 5% of Atmajaya Group shares as an engagement gift for me. Now, my uncle is the highest shareholder at the Atmajaya Group," Nico said calmly.
Tara didn't care about the cooperation between Atmajaya Group and Srijaya Group, or who was the highest shareholder in Nico's family's group. He just wanted to know if Nico was happy or not.
"Would your grandfather not blame you if Lisa canceled the engagement?" Tara asked.
"Before her child is born, she will not cancel the engagement. If I disagreed to get engaged to her, her family would force her to have an abortion. We agreed that after she gives birth, we will cancel the engagement and she will go with the child to live abroad," Nico started his car again and drove away, but at a very slow pace.
Three days later, Nico would have a fiancée. A man owned by another woman…
"If Lisa's lover suddenly comes on your engagement day, will she go out with that man?" Tara suddenly asked.
"Do you know her lover? I only know that her boyfriend is a doctor, but no one really knows him," said Nico.
