Keith looked at Ethan for a moment before speaking again. “I know you and Natalie have been close since you were kids. That’s why I wanted to give you a heads up about all this.”
“If the embryo really stopped developing, Natalie’s going to have to end the pregnancy. Jordan and Natalie have been married for a while now. They finally got pregnant, and now something like this happens.”
“They’re going to be heartbroken. When the time comes, maybe you can be there for them. They’re still young. They’ll have other chances. They shouldn’t let this destroy them.”
Ethan was stunned. He never expected something to go wrong with Natalie’s pregnancy.
He asked, “Why would the baby stop developing? Both Natalie and Jordan are healthy.”
Keith shrugged. “I’m not really sure. Could be genetics, could be something else. Honestly, I’ve never been a dad, so I have no idea.” He only knew what his sister had told him, and he figured Ethan would want to know, given how much he cared about Natalie.
Ethan fell silent, his brows furrowed in thought. He didn’t ask anything else.
“Mr. Adams, I’ll get back to work now.”
Keith left the room.
Ethan had completely lost interest in working. His mind kept drifting back to Jordan and Natalie, how crushed they must feel.
