Chapter 274
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 272 Collect His Corpse âMoving to the villa?â Samantha heard her daughterâs words and felt a little awkward.
âIf you feel that it is inconvenient, then forget it. . .â
Sarah also understood that if her mother lived there, she would feel that it was very inconvenient and Sarah really did not want to make things difficult for her mother.
Samantha lowered her head to look at Stephen in her arms and then sighed, âEthan is still in the ICU.
Julianâs eyes canât see. If you go back to the Cooper Family, Daphne will definitely want to take care of you, and she will not be able to rest well either. Since she mentioned it, Iâll go back with you. Anyway, itâs only a monthâs time. If you go back alone, I wonât be at ease either.â
Now, the situation in Cooper Family was different from before. Samantha was really worried about Sarahâs health.
âMom, I always make you feel wronged. . .â Sarah looked at her mother apologetically and smiled.
Samantha looked at Sarah reproachfully and smiled, âSilly child, you still say this kind of thing to your Mom? No matter what, Ethan is your fatherâs sworn brother. Julian is like this now. I canât just watch the Cooper Family get drown in sorrows, right? Donât you agree?â
âHmm. . .â Sarah looked at her mother and nodded with a smile.
The moment Daphne came out of Sarahâs delivery room, she returned to Vivianâs delivery room. When she walked in, she saw Mrs. Holmes cooking lunch in the kitchen.
Daphne snorted coldly and went straight to the sofa and sat down.
When Mrs. Holmes saw Daphne come back, she immediately walked over nervously. She smiled and said, âMrs. Cooper, it was a misunderstanding just now. Donât be too angry. I have already scolded Vivian just now. You see, she has been crying from the moment you left. She is still young. It is also her first time being a mother. Plus, she is a little impatient. Please donât lower yourself to her level!â
Daphne heard Mrs. Holmesâs words and immediately retorted with a cold face.
âMrs. Holmes, I donât agree with what you said at all. She is only a child? Many girls become mothers for the first time every day. And I have never heard of a mother who is like this to a child who is just given birth two days ago. If it is her first time being a mother, then what about you when you gave birth to Vivian? Did you treat your own child like this? Or is it something that only your family inherited?â
When Vivian heard Daphneâs words, she immediately bit her lips.
âMrs. Cooper! Vivian was indeed wrong! Just treat her as a child and donât lower yourself to her level! I will apologize you on her behalf. . .â
Mrs. Holmes immediately apologized carefully once again when she heard that.
âItâs fine if you apologize her or not. No matter how much you apologize on behalf of her, I donât care, because I saw what happened in my own eyes. In the past, I only saw those vicious stepmothers on TV, who try to choke their stepchildren. But today, I have gained a lot of experience. I think your daughter canât even be compared to those stepmothers for being able to do something to her own son.
Mrs. Holmes, donât you think so?â
Daphne still had a cold expression and did not have the slightest intention of forgiving the mother and daughter.
When Vivian heard Daphneâs words, she could not bear it any longer. âMom, what is the meaning of this? No matter what I do to Stephen, he is still my son after all. Do you think it is appropriate for you to carry him away like this?â
Daphne nodded in agreement. âYou are right! In the end, Stephen is your son, but I really want to ask you, are you really his biological mother? What should I do if I donât carry him away? Should I wait to collect his corpse?â
Vivian was speechless for a long time and could only look at her mother for help.
âMrs. Cooper, speaking of which, to this extent. . . Letâs just what, the child is still Vivianâs flesh and blood. You should carry Stephen back!â
Mrs. Holmes looked at Daphne and said. The expression on her face also became a little more serious.
âHuh! What?â Daphne sneered, âNow you know that he is her flesh and blood? The child was about to choke to death just now, why didnât you say so at that time? I came back now to tell you that Vivianâs milk is not good anyway and Stephen doesnât drink milk powder. So I have already discussed with Sarah just now. She will feed Stephen from now on! Sarah will raise him for now. So you can take care of your precious daughter as you can. Anyway, Sarah will return to the villa in a few days. If you want to see a child, you can see it every day. But donât even try to bring the child back! Alright, I have finished my words.â
After Daphne finished speaking, she was about to leave.
âAiya, Mrs. Cooper, arenât you going too far by doing this?â Mrs. Holmes immediately chased Daphne to the door.
Daphne smiled and looked at Mrs. Holmes, âI am going too far? If I really went too far, it would definitely not be like this now! Anyway, you guys canât feed Stephen if he stays here. Now Vivian just finished the surgery, you should focus on taking care of Vivian. As for other things, we will talk about it after Vivian is out of the hospital.â
âWhat does Mrs. Cooper mean?
âI only said it casually. You donât have to take it to heart. The most important thing now is to take good care of Vivian. As for the childâs matter, you donât have to worry about it for the time being.â After Daphne finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Mrs. Holmes looked at the empty door and sighed heavily. She walked to the door and looked at Hannah who was at the side. She said, âHannah, you should go back first. You do not need to take care of this place for the time being.â
Hannah immediately looked at Vivian nervously. To be honest, she wished she could leave this place immediately!
Vivian waved her hand at her gloomily. âAre you deaf? Why arenât you leaving yet?â
Hannahâs expression changed and she Mrs. Holmes closed the door and turned around to look at Vivian on the bed. She heavily sighed. âYour temper canât be changed, right? The maids are human too. If you treat them like this, will you have a good life in Cooper Family?â
âMom! Iâm already depressed enough. Donât teach into a ball.
Mrs. Holmes walked to her daughterâs bedside and sat down. She looked at Vivian, not knowing what to do, âWhat do we do now? Just now your mother-in-law has already said things to that extent. Now it seemed that Stephen would not be able to come back for the time being. If we insist on bringing him back, your mother-in-law will probably fight with us to the death! And Julian. He proposed a divorce with you. You canât pretend you didnât hear this, right?â
Vivian bit her lips hatefully, âThen let the child stay with that Sarah first! Anyway, I will be discharged in a few days. As long as we return to the villa, I will be able to get the child back. The most important thing now is that Julian wants to divorce me. If he really wants to divorce me, then what is the use of changing the child?â
To her right now, the most important thing was not the child, but the divorce that Julian proposed to her.
If this matter wasnât settled, she wish!
âThen what should I do? His current thoughts are definitely all on Ruby. Sigh, that Ruby is really. . . You are her cousin, how can she do such a thing? It was really a waste of time for me to want to take care of their family!â Mrs. Holmes thought of Ruby and was very angry.
When Vivian heard her motherâs words, her eyes turned cold slightly and then she said with a solemn face, âMom, you have to help me with this matter!â
âOkay! Tell me, how can I help you?â Mrs. Holmes nodded.
âYou have to go to my uncleâs house and tell him everything about Ruby and Julian. Tell him more about Ruby. Anyway, she was the one who lured Julian. Tell my uncle everything you can tell. It would be best to persuade him to find a family for Ruby and marry her right away. Otherwise, it would be too late if she gets pregnant. Anyway, you can do whatever you want with this matter.â
Mrs. Holmes nodded her head. âYes, I understand. Ruby ,that lass, was indeed a little too much. This time, she canât blame this aunt of her!â
âMom, then you can go after eating.â Vivian did not want to drag it out at all.
âThen who will take care of you?â Mrs. Holmes asked worriedly.
Vivian thought for a while and took the phone from the bedside table to call Hannah. She put the phone beside her ear, âCome back immediately.â
Mrs. Holmes made lunch for her daughter and left the hospital.
Rubyâs family lived in a village in the suburbs. Although it was said to be the suburbs, it was actually a small village. Mrs. Holmes hailed a taxi and went straight to Rubyâs house.
Along the way, she thought of her daughter being chased out of the Cooper Family because of Ruby.
She was very angry. She felt that Ruby was very ungrateful.
Ruby was the third oldest in the family, and there were two older sisters on top of her. They were all married, and besides her, there was also a younger brother in the family. Previously, because her parents wanted a son, they spent a lot of money in multiple abortions and surgeries. Rubyâs brother, on the other hand, was born then.
Rubyâs father had been desperately trying to earn money to pay off his debts all these years, but he had been infected by illness all over his body. So their family condition could be considered very bad.
Mrs. Holmes sat in a taxi for half an hour, only then did she arrive at Rubyâs home. Mrs. Holmes paid the fare and got out of the car. She looked at the fence door in front of her and raised her hand to tidy up her clothes before taking her bag and walking over.
Mrs. Holmes raised her hand and pushed open the fenced door, walked into the yard.
At this time, Rubyâs parents were all at home. When they saw Mrs. Holmes, they immediately invited her with great respect.
âSister, why are you here?â Rubyâs father looked gratefully at Mrs. Holmes.
Ever since his daughter Ruby entered the Cooper Family to be a servant, the situation of the family had also improved a lot. Especially the 100,000 yuan that Ruby brought back a while ago, it solved the urgent situation in the family and also gave Rubyâs father a chance to see a doctor.
âBrother, how is your health?â Mrs. Holmes put on the appearance of a big sister and walked to the table to sit down. She first looked at Rubyâs father with concern.
Rubyâs father first instructed his wife to prepare tea before looking at his cousin. âSister, this time we have really made a loss to Vivian. Ever since Ruby got the 100,000 yuan last time, I went to the hospital for surgery. You see, my body is much better now. Itâs all thanks to Vivian!â
When Mrs. Holmes heard Rubyâs fatherâs words, she immediately let out a heavy sigh. She saw that Rubyâs mother had already prepared the tea and poured herself a cup. She reached out her hand and blew lightly on it before placing it on the table and looking at the two of them.
âSigh. Brother, when I first introduced your daughter Ruby to Vivianâs home, I did it for the sake of your familyâs good because I felt that your conditions were a little poor. Since Vivian was pregnant and want someoneâs help, I asked Ruby for this. I also wanted to help you by this. Donât you think so?â
