After the angry roar, Cecelia kept her mouth shut. âThis child is yours, what nonsense are you talking?â
Slap!
A slap fell mercilessly. Thomas roared, âThis child is not mine! The evidence is conclusive now, but youâre still lying here?! Tell me, whose child is this?â
âItâs yoursâ¦â
Cecelia refused to speak.
âDamn it, Iâm going to beat you to death!â
Thomas couldnât take it anymore. Even in front of so many people, he started cursing.
The room instantly turned into chaos. Then, the medical staff rushed in to say that Cecelia was pregnant, urging Thomas to do nothing.
Out of the room.
Mrs. Livingstone was stunned.
What had Thomas said in the ward?
Was that child a bastard?
Bastard?
Did this mean that the child was not Thomasâs? So what Jessica and Nora were saying was true?
Mrs. Livingstone suddenly looked at Nora and Jessicaâ¦.
Her son really did have asthenospermia.
He might not have a son of his own in this lifetime!
Mrs. Livingstone stood there in shock. The determination she had shown before in front of them was now just as impotent and facetious. She felt very embarrassed, especially since they were in the VIP lounge. The people in the VIP room of this private hospital were all from wealthy families.
Justin had come personally. At that moment, everyone around had already craned their necks to look at them.
A day ago, when the two divorced, Mrs. Livingstone had even spread rumors outside to keep the Livingstones from being criticized. She said it was fine that Helen couldnât have a child, but she even allied herself with Nora and planned to conspire with them. But nowâ¦
Someone shouted, âMrs. Livingstone, so Helen didnât play the blame game. The one who canât have a baby is really her son.â
In front of Justin, someone also started fawning over Nora.
âMiss Smithâs medical skills are really impressive. Sheâs alternative medicine. She can tell she has weak s#men just by taking her pulse? As expected of Dr. Zabeâs disciple.â
âYes, yes. Mrs. Livingstone, you were still talking nonsense a moment ago. As if Miss Smithâs medical skills were no good, that she was too young and hadnât grasped the essence of alternative medicine. Now, you do realize youâve been wrong about her, donât you?â
Mrs. Livingstone bit her lip in anger.
The Livingstones had always had a good reputation on the outside. In the first place, Old Mrs. Hunt knew how to behave and had always taught them not to do embarrassing things, so the Livingstones had developed a habit of hiding embarrassing things.
Secondly, Mrs. Livingstone was very calculating. At these words, her eyes instantly turned red. She took Noraâs hand. âMiss Smith, you really are a pious doctor. We have been wrong about you. Itâs all my fault. Look, can you help Thomas treat his illness?â
Nora: â?â
She raised her eyebrows and suddenly smiled. âMrs. Livingstone, Iâm sorry. I will stay home to raise my children and take care of my husband in the future. I wonât embarrass myself outside.â
Mrs. Livingstone: â????â
She was stunned for a moment before realizing they were the words she herself had said in a moment of anger at the Hunts.
Now, Nora was using those words to shut her mouth.
Mrs. Livingstone bit her lip in anger, but in front of so many people, she continued to apologize. âMiss Smith, I know you are angry. For Mrs. Huntâs sake, donât be angry with me! Iâm a senior citizen, so I will inevitably be a little biased when I do things. I apologize, okay?â
Nora: âIâve just decided to concentrate on taking care of my family from now on for you. I wonât show myself outside again. Isnât this what you told me two days ago?â
Mrs. Livingstone: â?????â
The people around were speechless.
Who hadnât been sick before? No one could guarantee that they wouldnât have to beg Nora in the future! Therefore, everyone criticized Mrs. Livingstone.
âMrs. Livingstone, you are being too abusive. What time is it now? How can a woman not have her own career?â
âThatâs right. Do you think we live in ancient times? Should a woman be limited to raising her children and staying at homeâ¦?â
âMrs. Livingstone, you are really old and old-fashioned! What young woman today is not busy with her career? Besides, anyone can be a wife in a rich family. If Miss Smith doesnât use her medical skills, isnât she wasting her talent?â
Mrs. Livingstone had always been someone who could take the highest position in public with just a few words. However, she did not expect to be defeated this time by Noraâs two sentences.
She was furious. Hearing the words around her, she suddenly lowered her voice and said in a voice that only Nora and she could hear, âNora, donât be cheeky! So what if your medical skills are good? Others can also treat your illness. My son will give birth to his own child sooner or later, but what about you, you still have to deal with Justinâs illegitimate child!â These words made Noraâs pupils shrink.
Then, she heard Mrs. Livingstone continue, âI hear your illegitimate son has a very strange character. He is almost a little devil. He has been brought up outdoors, has a very wild personality, and has no manners. He causes trouble at home and doesnât let anyone have a momentâs peace. I think you should give up your career and stay at home. You should raise your illegitimate eldest son well! Ha!â
