256 Ch. 256 Loraineâs Lover
If Anxia were in the doctorâs shoes, she would find a way to save her mother, even if thatâs mean she had to become an evil person. But never once would she think of sacrificing an innocent baby in exchange for caring for her mother. Maybe the former Anxia would have done it because her past self had no conscience and had the heart to abort her fetus.
It was customary for a sadistic heart like Anxia to prioritize her own interest without caring about othersâ losses. But this doctor was not her since a doctorâs job is to save lives and bring smiles to expectant mothers by helping the birth process.
Unfortunately, this doctorâs conscience was sabotaged, and she lacks the self-awareness to the point of separating a newborn from its mother. This doctor even lied to Anxia without blinking when she said Anxia would give birth to a girlâone kid only, instead of twins.
Anxia was caught off guard, thinking she had escaped Master Yuâs reach without knowing another enemy was always watching them from the shadows. She was highly irritated with Loraine Shu and felt confident that the woman wasnât her birth mother. It felt like she wanted revenge and vented her anger by torturing the two women, so they both wished they had never been born into this world.
âTell me, have you never thought I would come to hunt you one day after knowing you gave my child to someone else? Arenât you afraid that youâll spread the news and have everyone curse you for selling your patientâs child to someone else?â
âI wouldnât have done it if that person wasnât your mother. Your mother is not someone else, and she is your childâs grandmother.â
Anxiaâs lips twitched at the sound of this doctorâs attempt to defend herself.
âI believed there is nothing wrong with your own family members taking your child away. After all⦠Iâve already checked her blood against yours, and you two are mother and daughter.â
Anxia didnât expect to hear the doctorâs last sentence at all. This doctor has tested her DNA with Loraine Shu?
.....
âShe also convinced me to meet you two someday after you donât have any enemies out there. She says you are on the run from someone, and if you have to take two kids together, you will find it difficult that, in the end, you wonât be able to protect them. Because of that, she decided to bring one of your children so that your attention will be more focused on your daughter.â
âWhat are you saying?â
âYour mother wishes you would focus more attention on your daughter.â
âNo, thatâs not it. Before⦠what did you say before?â
âShe told me you were on the run from someone?â the doctor was confused by Anxiaâs demeanor, which suddenly changed drastically from a lioness ready to pounce on its prey to like a confused puppy.
âNot that!â Anxia said, getting impatient. âThat part when you said you took her blood to match my DNA. What do you say about that?â
âI want to ensure that the one who will take your child away is your birth mother. I know Iâm selfish, but I wonât let a stranger take your baby away and make that boy suffer. Since I feel certain that that woman is your own mother, I canât help but feel tempted. So⦠Iâm sorry.â
Anxia felt the earth; the world was shaking as if this place was experiencing an earthquake. She had been sure that Loraine Shu was not her mother and had thought of a way to get revenge on her for taking her child from her and letting Loraineâs lover torture and make Elliot suffer.
It felt like she had been standing on the edge of a cliff, and now a strong push from someone made her fall into a bottomless abyss.
Anxia felt her legs go weak at hearing this, and she could only sit on a nearby chair while clasping her face in her hands.
In the meantime, Loraine had been lethargic because she could no longer make Elliot stay with her and immediately rejoiced when she found out that her lover was back home.
âSong Lei, youâre finally back.â Loraine walked over to the man with the scar on his face without fear and clung to him indulgently.
âWhat put you in a bad mood? I heard you havenât eaten since morning.â
âItâs all because of that kid. I donât know what Anxia and Xiao Guang talked about, but the kid decided to go with his mother.â
âIâll talk to him.â
Hearing this, Loraineâs smile widened. âYou are indeed the most reliable. Make him not want to come with his mother and stay here.â
Song Lei kissed Loraine on the lips and then left to head toward Elliotâs room. Usually, Song Lei would immediately kick open the childâs door and pull forcefully to get the helpless child out of the room. Then he would lock him up in a dusty shed without giving him anything to eat or drink for two whole days.
But now⦠ever since Mei Yin returned from her mission and decided to stay in this place, Song Lei couldnât do much to threaten Elliot because she was often with Elliot.
If Mei Yin hadnât been Deke Shuâs beloved granddaughter, Song Lei would have strangled the girl long ago and dumped her body in the middle of the sea.
Fortunately, neither Mei Yin nor Anxia knew of this, nor did even Loraine Shu know that Mei Yin and Anxia were cousins ??, and Deke had warned Song Lei not to tell anyone about this fact.
Song Lei knocked on Elliotâs door because he knew Mei Yin was chatting with the boy.
It wasnât long before the bedroom door opened, and Song Lei could see the boyâs face turned pale at the sight of him.
âSong Lei? Since when did you come back?â asked Mei Yin in surprise without respect, even though this man before her was far more senior than her.
This was one of the reasons why Song Lei wanted to kill this girl because of her bold and arrogant attitude, as if this girl was his superior.
âI want to talk to the young master.â
Only Elliot could hear the screams of his heart, and he could barely hold back the tears that threatened to spill out of their sockets.
âMama⦠save me.â
