Chapter 95 - Are You Pregnant?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Samantha was somewhat surprised and wondered why Sheena would be in the hospital too.

She had not seen Sheena since the Schmidts’ silver wedding anniversary banquet, but then again, they were not really familiar with each other and had nothing in common.

Samantha retracted her gaze and started walking away.

Sheena had already seen her and immediately called out, “Samantha, is that you?”

She called out while walking over.

Samantha had no choice but to stop. She looked at her and spoke in an indifferent tone, “Is something the matter?”

“I didn’t expect to see you here. What happened? Are you feeling unwell?” Sheena asked with a touch of concern, as if they were close friends.

Samantha frowned slightly.

Sheena was an ambitious person who was maliciously devious. Her means of achieving her goals were underhanded and despicable, and she could never come to accept a view that was opposed to hers. Samantha did not want to have any unnecessary interaction with her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I’m fine,” Samantha said politely and distantly. “I’ll be leaving if there’s nothing else.”

“Hey.” Sheena stepped in front of her and blocked her way. There was a smile on her face as she said, “You don’t have to put your guard up with me, Samantha. I have no intention of doing anything to you. I just...want to say thank you.”

“To be honest, I’m only where I am today thanks to you. If you didn’t withdraw the accusation, I’d still be in jail now.”

While saying that, she put her hand on her stomach and caressed it gently.

That action...

Samantha had a sudden realization. “Are you pregnant?”

“Yeah.” There was an overwhelming sense of pride in Sheena’s eyes. ” The baby is Justin’s. It’s more than two months along now, but the fetus isn’t very stable and there’s a threat of miscarriage. Justin is extremely nervous and he insists that I be treated in the hospital.”

No wonder she was spotted in the ward area.

The reason Samantha withdrew the accusation against Sheena back then and let her go was to offer Sheena an opportunity to choose: it was either to live a proper life from then onward or continue clinging to the path of living by fair means or foul.

Unfortunately, Sheena chose the latter.

“You don’t need to thank me. This is your own life and your own choice. It has nothing to do with me.”

“Why are you so ruthless, Samantha? I did do some bad things to you before, but it’s only because I couldn’t help it at the time. I had to listen to Penelope. There are no grudges between us, so I think we can make friends. We can support each other in the future, don’t you think?”

Sheena spoke very sincerely and had a longing look in her eyes. She even revealed her trump card and said, “I’ll be frank with you. Justin only has me and my baby on his mind. He promised to wait for my child to be born. If it’s a boy, he’ll divorce Violet and marry me, and from then on, I’ll become Mrs. Schmidt. Being your friend is more than enough with my status. I’ll be able to help you too if you ever need it.”

Finally, she emphasized, “I’m only willing to be your friend because you helped me out of trouble once.”

Samantha listened to her words quietly and suddenly curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

Sheena’s eyes lit up, “Do you agree?”

Samantha looked at her calmly and spoke unhurriedly, “You don’t want to make friends with me just because I helped you out of trouble.”

“You...” Sheena’s smile disappeared. “What do you mean by that?”

Samantha smiled even more sarcastically and exposed Sheena’s thoughts without much ado. “You just want to be my friend because your position isn’t stable right now. You want to involve me in this so you’ll have someone shielding you, or am I wrong?”

Her words were straightforward, so much so that it sounded really harsh. Sheena’s expression changed drastically.

“My grudges with the Schmidts’ mother-daughter duo are over. As for the grudges between you and them, you’re on your own.”

Once Samantha finished her sentence, there was nothing else left for her to say. She lifted her feet off the ground, walked past Sheena, and left.

Sheena turned around, looked at Samantha’s rear figure, then grinded her teeth.

‘Bah, who does she think she is!’ Samantha was nothing more than a girl who fell from grace and would never be as noble as her.

It was only because Sheena thought highly of her that she offered to be her friend. Samantha really did not know what was good for her!

By the time Sheena became Mrs. Schmidt, she would not give Samantha another chance to try and curry favor with her again!

Sheena stroked her belly once more and lowered her head to her belly while saying, “My baby, you must seize your chances. Once you’re born, Mommy will be able to become Mrs. Schmidt. From then on, you and I will live a prosperous and wealthy life. We’ll make sure to give all those who look down on us a big fat slap!”

She then walked happily back to the ward.

…

Standing in a corner was a sullen-looking woman. She took off her sunglasses forcefully and revealed herself to be Penelope.

She originally went there to get back at Sheena, but unexpectedly chanced upon the conversation between Sheena and Samantha.

The scenes at the silver wedding anniversary banquet turned the Schmidts into a laughingstock within their circle. Penelope, along with her mother, lost their dignity completely. Sheena then continued to provoke Penelope’s mother, only to have Penelope’s father defend that woman blindly. The wonderful family Penelope had was turned upside down.

Penelope never experienced such dire straits ever since the day she was born. Her home was no longer a home and her mother went berserk from time to time. Even her father, who used to love her dearly, started scolding her and regarded her as a nuisance. Every day felt like an eternity for Penelope.

All of that...was Samantha’s fault!

If Samantha had not released Sheena, Sheena would not have formed the malicious intent to seduce Penelope’s father. Everything after that would never have happened!

‘It’s you, Samantha!’

Penelope gritted her teeth as she recited those three words, as though she was about to crush her!

A wave of deep anger burned in her eyes. She lifted her feet off the ground and followed in the direction Samantha left in.

…

Samantha returned to the ward and Timothy was still sitting there. There was a laptop on his lap and a couple of documents on the coffee table. Her eyes landed on the computer screen—he seemed to be dealing with business affairs.

She surmised that Ronald had been asked to deliver them over during the time she went out to take a breather. That was a further sign that he was determined to stay there and accompany her.

Samantha took a few deep breaths and muttered to herself. ‘Act like he’s invisible, act like he’s invisible, act like he’s invisible!’

After screaming that in her heart, it seemed to have taken some effect when she walked past him without turning to look. She came out after washing her face in the bathroom and walked to her little bed to lay down.

She might as well sleep and avoid staring at Timothy again.

However, it was then that she felt Timothy’s gaze looking at her again. She looked over and thought it was an illusion, but on that occasion, she looked straight at Timothy’s dark black eyes.

Samantha was stunned for a second and blinked her eyes unconsciously. “Why…why are you looking at me?”
