Chapter 626

Nora frowned. “Mrs. Livingstone, it is fate to have a child. We can’t rush into it. They’ve only been married for three years. Some couples only get pregnant after ten years. This is quite normal.”

“What’s normal!!! Why did you give birth to two children when Justin only did it once with you? You even gave birth to a child with another woman? Miss Smith, I know you don’t want to have too many children and put pressure on Pete. You don’t want Justin to have another child, do you? But you don’t understand our family. Our family has only had one heir for several generations, and we really need to have another family heir now.”

Mrs. Livingstone rolled her eyes and continued speaking in a bombastic tone, “And you, Miss Smith. Don’t look down on Justin for having another child with another woman. The Hunts have such a big business that we can’t let Pete run it alone. He should treat the other child as his own. Women have to be magnanimous. You can’t cry to hold a man’s hands and feet, you understand?”

Nora: “???”

She almost scoffed.

What kind of crazy idea was this?

After Mrs. Livingstone said that, she said to Helen, “And you, since you can’t give birth yourself, don’t stop my child from giving birth with someone else. It is not that you are going to divorce. Those outside women can’t be taken seriously. You are the Livingstons’ only daughter-in-law. You can’t be jealous every day, you understand? Women can’t be so extreme in their minds. If the Livingstone family line ends here, no one will raise you when you’re old!”

Helen clenched her fists tightly. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

Nora narrowed her eyes and said slowly, “Oh? I wonder how many children Mrs. Livingstone will have.”

Mrs. Livingstone choked and continued, “Our family has only had one heir for several generations. Of course, I only have one son!”.

Nora clicked her tongue. “Mrs. Livingstone, you are too narrow-minded. The Livingstones are great and powerful. How can we let Mr. Livingstone take care of himself? Why didn’t you ask him to have more children with other women when he was young? Then he could treat them as his own children! Women shouldn’t be so jealous, should they?”

Mrs. Livingstone: “????” She instantly became furious. “Miss Smith, how can you say that? I’m all grown up now, can’t I criticize you? Haven’t you always been disrespectful to Mrs. Hunt just because she’s Pete’s biological mother? Let me tell you, Justin has another son now. The future heir might not be Pete! Don’t be so arrogant! A lot of people are watching Mrs. Hunt’s post.”

Hearing her speak, Nora yawned loudly.

Mrs. Livingstone: “…”

She felt herself being glared at. She was about to scold Nora some more when Helen said, “Grandma, say no more. Pete has been raised as the heir for many years. His status won’t be shaken so easily. Besides, that child is just a rumor. We have not yet confirmed if it is true.”

Mrs. Livingstone instantly changed her tone. “What right do you have to control me? You’re a chicken who doesn’t know how to lay eggs. I really don’t know what good it does for the Livingstones to marry you! You’ve already drunk bowls of medicine to take care of your body, but it has no effect. Instead, you’ve spent a lot of our family’s money! If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to lift my head outside.”

Helen bit her lip. “Grandma! We came to see the doctor today. If you go on like this, Miss Smith won’t let me be checked!”

Mrs. Livingstone only repressed her disgust at being threatened.

Beside her, Elder Mrs. Hunt also reprimanded her. “Stop talking! I’m old now, I don’t need anyone to respect me! I just want her and Justin to live happily.”

After saying that, Elder Mrs. Hunt looked at Nora. “Good girl, can you examine Helen?”

She was worried that Nora would turn and walk away in a fit of anger.

After all, she was Doctor Zabe’s personal disciple. Other than her, probably no one else could treat this disease, right?

Nora was itching to turn around and leave. From the looks of it, Mrs. Livingstone was an unreasonable person.

However, seeing Helen and her red eyes, Nora sighed. “Give me your right hand.”

When Helen heard this, she was stunned.

She had not expected Miss Smith not to mind Mrs. Livingstone’s words and continue to treat her. An expression of joy appeared on her face. She approached Nora and held out her hand.

Nora sat down on the couch and took her pulse in silence.

A minute later.

Nora opened her eyes and met Helen’s restlessly.

“How is she?” Mrs. Livingstone stepped forward. “Can she have children?”

Her words were full of expectation, as if she had already prepared a few women to deliver her child after the diagnosis was confirmed.

Nora scoffed. “She doesn’t have any problems.”
