Nicole grabbed my hand and said, “Hailee, don’t be sad. We will have children again in the future. I will call Fernando to come to the hospital right away.”
A phone call came in, Nicole was scolding Fernando, but he didn’t care at all.
“Not dead? That’s a shame, good people don’t live long, while troublemakers live for a thousand years. Maybe she was the one behind the kidnapping, I heard with my own ears that the kidnappers got a billion and want to split it fifty–fifty with her.”
Nicole was infuriated by his words, and she shouted angrily, “You heartless brat! Didn’t you see Hailee fall from such a height? She had
multiple fractures and broken bones all over her body, and your child is gone too.”
“Miscarriage? Hahaha, it’s even better if it really happened, anyway, it’s not mine.”
Nicole was furious and her heart raced. “You bastard! I knew you would deny it. When the doctor extracted the fetus, I specifically asked him to preserve the umbilical cord blood for a paternity test. It proves that you are the biological father!”
This time, Fernando did not smile.
He finally became serious, “Really? Hailee is carrying my child?”
Nicole had a sorrowful expression on her face, “It’s true without a doubt, but the child is no longer here.”
Fernando didn’t believe, “If she could fake a kidnapping, how could the child not be there.”
“Did you guys conspire with Hailee to deceive me on purpose in order to push Emelia away, right?”
Nicole looked at me with concern and said, “Come to the hospital and see Hailee. She just lost her baby and needs someone to care for
her the most.”
As soon as he heard that I was concerned, Fernando responded indifferently, “Emelia was frightened because of the kidnapping, and her heart is still not at ease. Don’t let Hailee act anymore. If she is really carrying my child, let her stay at home and not cause trouble
everywhere.”
Nicole wanted to say something, but Fernando had already ended the call.
Cason was also angry, “Hailee, we have spoiled Fernando too much. When he comes home, I must make him kneel in the temple to
atone for his sins.”
Nicole let out a sigh and took hold of my hand, intending to put the ancestral bracelet on my wrist. It was then that she realized my wrist was broken and wrapped in a cast.
“I’m sorry, Hailee. You were my proudest student and my favorite daughter–in–law. Emelia could never replace you in my heart. In this lifetime, I only acknowledge you as my daughter–in–law.”
“When Fernando comes back, we will all scold him properly. Can you forgive him for this?”
Before and after my rebirth, I never thought about forgiving Fernando. The harm and shadow he brought to me cannot be compensated for, even if my life were to start over countless times.
“Nicole, do you know why I never call you mom?”
Nicole’s gaze flickered.
I smiled faintly and said, “Because you always treated me as your daughter–in–law. If it were your daughter who had suffered such injustice, would you let her just smile and let it go?”
Cason explained, “The bandits were too vicious, and besides, the police had already been ambushed at that time… My son was not the instigator”
I could only force a bitter smile, the pain in my heart, no one could understand.
In the previous life, Emelia was left behind, with a bomb strapped to her body. The police dared not approach, and the kidnappers took her to a deserted place. Eventually, she was locked in a cabinet, tortured to death, and thrown into the river.
And I, being blamed by Fernando, was beaten beyond recognition and drowned alive.
This time, faced with an inevitable death, I chose to jump off the building, and surviving was an unexpected outcome.
“You could go to the police station and ask about the details of this case, so you wouldn’t think that kidnapping has anything to do with
2/4
Fernando.”
Cason and Nicole remained silent.
I don’t know what he used, but Fernando came to the hospital to see me that afternoon.
He lazily entered the door, holding a bunch of chrysanthemums, pretending to visit but actually mourning.
Originally, no matter what I chose, Fernando had already hated me to the core.
Not only did my face look bad, but Nicole’s face looked even worse.
“What kind of flowers is this child given?”
Suddenly, Emelia appeared behind Fernando, cautiously observing him.
“Why is Hailee not happy? Is it because of me?”
I hadn’t said anything yet, but Fernando was very protective. “It’s me who wants to give you flowers, it has nothing to do with Emelia. If you’re unhappy, come at me, don’t always target her.”
I am now no different from being paralyzed, so what can I do to them?
Cason got so angry that he picked up an ashtray and smashed it on his shoulder.
“You brat, do you know that Hailee had a miscarriage? She can’t even walk now, and you deliberately sent her flowers.”
Fernando was dissatisfied and covered his shoulder. “Mom, Dad, how much money did she give you? Is it worth you acting with her like this?”
Nicole got so angry that she slapped him.
“Are we, the richest family, supposed to act with Hailee just for money?”
