Cecelia: â!!!â
She was so shocked she couldnât even move.
It was only when the others rushed over that she came to her senses again.
With this, she could no longer give herself an abortion! It would be too obvious if she fell again. Besides, it would no longer be Helen pushing her down!
For a while, Cecelia could neither move forward nor backward.
At the top of the stairs.
Nora was giving Helen first aid.
She had slowly started bleeding after falling down the stairs, and was extremely weak at the time. Nora gave her a check-up and found that she had suffered bone fractures and a slight concussion, but was not life-threatening. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
She was about to speak when Jessica ran up to her and shouted, âHelen, what happened?â.
Helen was in a lot of pain. Both her arms and legs ached, but she still stared at Cecelia and said, âCecelia was planning to falsely accuse me of pushing her down the stairs. I accidentally fell trying to save her.â All those present were members of the rich and powerful circle. They were all very familiar with little tricks like that.
Jessica understood it all with just those few words of hers.
Her eyes turned red with anger. She pointed at Helen and shouted, âHow can you be so clumsy! Even if she manages to slander you, we still have evidence against her!â
Jessica had already found Ceceliaâs adulterous lover, that is, the babyâs father, a long time ago.
She planned to hand him over to Thomas today along with the evidence.
But Helen, instead, smiled wryly at her and said, âJessica, you donât understand what the Livingstones are like. Without the baby, there will be no direct evidence. In order not to be embarrassed, theyâd rather refuse to admit it or believe it.â
If the child was gone, Cecelia and her lover could insist that nothing had happened.
After all, even if Cecelia had sex with her lover three months ago, her private life had always been chaotic anyway. The Livingstones would never believe a word they said. Therefore, nothing must happen to the child! Because it was the most crucial test!
Helen was in so much pain that her face was as white as a sheet. Although the ambulance had not yet arrived, she lay where she was and said to Jessica, âI thought it through at the time. Women have to stand up for themselves, otherwise they will be despised forever.
Jessica, I have become strong.
See, the truth is that Iâm in a lot of pain right now, but I havenât even cried.â Seeing her younger sister like this, Jessicaâs eyes reddened.
She nodded her head. âYou go to the hospital first. Iâll take care of the rest.â
âIâm not going⦠Jessica, I want to stay here and watch them turn into a joke!â. Helen grabbed Noraâs hand and refused to let go, afraid that if she did, she would be taken away by the ambulance.
Jessica was quiet for a while.
Nora said, âItâs okay for the moment.â
Only then did Jessica nod.
Everyone around them had overheard their conversation. Even Thomas frowned and looked at Cecelia.
When he looked up at Cecelia, who was upstairs, the woman finally came to her senses. She rushed downstairs and shouted, âHelen, I know you loathe and hate me. Besides, I have been apologizing to you all along. I have told you that, even if I become Mrs. Livingstone, you still have a place in Thomasâs heart. The separation is not your fault, it was only because you canât have children. But how can you jump down the stairs yourself and falsely accuse me like that?! You even said I wouldnât have a chance to become Mrs. Livingstone when you jumped down, sob sobâ¦.
Itâs fine even if you donât want me to become Mrs. Livingstone, but you canât use such a suicidal method to make false accusations towards me! Thomas, you have to stick up for me!â
Thomas immediately glared at Helen with fury. âWhy do you start resorting to tricks like crying, making a big fuss and threatening suicide? Are you trying to save our marriage with such tricks? Iâll tell you no way.â
When Helen saw that Thomas had chosen to believe Cecelia without any hesitation, she knew immediately that she had done the right thing at that moment.
If the child was not well, Thomas would definitely refuse to believe the truth.
He clenched his fists. Suddenly, he looked at Cecelia and said, âIn that case, do you dare go to the hospital for a test?â
Cecelia nodded. âOf course! Why wouldnât I? But for the baby, I want to wait until sheâs four months old before I do it. Right now sheâs only a little over a month old, so thereâs no way I can do the test. For the sake of my babyâs health, we have to wait! Thomas and I have already talked about it. Besides, I have a clear conscience, so Iâm not afraid! Iâm not afraid of any test! Itâs just not the right time yet. Donât worry, in two months Iâll have it done even without you having to mention it.â
I was buying time.
A lot could happen in two and a half months. In the worst case scenario, I would find the opportunity to abort at the last moment. In any case, he was not to cement those pretensions just yet.
Just as Cecelia was thinking so triumphantly to herself, Nora suddenly stood up impatiently. She waved her hand, at which the two bodyguards Justin had given her rushed over.
Nora pointed to Cecelia and ordered, âTake her to the hospital for testing. I will be responsible for all the consequences.â
