“Please forgive me, Lily. If my sister finds out I’ve said such bold things to you, she’ll disown me. I’m
begging you!”
Seeing him use the victim card, I figured he must be in a tight spot. I planned to tease him initially, but
since he was trying so hard to fake it, I thought it was only fair that I play along too. “You don’t have to
do this. Your sister and I are friends. I won’t even work things out with you for your sister’s sake, but
this will be the last time.
“Don’t worry. I will no longer act evil!”
Having no intention of dealing with this clown who had no self respect or character, I snorted inwardly
and turned to Carson. “How is Jolene?”
“The surgery ended and she was sent to the intensive care unit. Chief Channing says she’s not in good
shape so they should keep her under observation for 24 hours to see how things go.”
“Oh, how did that happen? When Jolene finds out she lost the child, how devastated would she be?” I
let out a long breath. “She did so much for the child. As a woman, it hurts me just to think about it. Why
are we cursed with a life of misfortune?”
Carson walked over and patted me on the shoulder. “Don’t be sad, dear. Everything will be fine!”
This shameless asshole can say it so easily. In a situation like this, it is the women who always
suffer. Did he think it was that easy to put everything back together?
I didn’t say it out loud, but I thought it was strange; how was Carson so calm?
Since he walked in here until now, I’ve paid close attention to him. The child in Jolene’s belly was his
beloved child, and he had high hopes for the child. I thought there would be at least a hint of pain on
his face.
However, I was wrong. There was no sign of pain on his face. Was he good at hiding it or didn’t he feel
sad? Compared to how he freaked out when I lost my son, he seemed perfectly fine after what
happened with Jolene.
The fact that he was so calm that he could comfort me was really scary.
In just a few days, two children were lost. No one could have handled it with such a strong front. It was
strange how Carson was able to act as if nothing had happened.
Later, my mother-in-law and Victoria arrived together. Compared to Carson’s common sense, my
mother-in-law was unable to hide her emotions. As merciless as she was to Jolene outside the
operating room, she had high hopes for the child in her womb.
The moment she walked into the hospital room, she sat up without saying a word. I started: “What
happened, mom? You are sick? Why do you look so downhearted?”
“No, I’m fine.” She forced a smile.
“You don’t look too good. Why don’t you call a doctor to take a look at you? You can’t really be sick, can
you? I heard that there was a mother-in-law who was furious after her daughter-in-law had a
miscarriage and ended up becoming seriously ill,” Victoria expressed her concerned opinion.
“Aren’t they two separate matters?” Isabella said suddenly. “When Lily had a miscarriage, I don’t think
Mrs. Boyer was so devastated. She was talking and laughing.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
After hearing this, the look on Carson’s face immediately changed and he looked at his mother in a
serious manner. “Mom, are your stomach problems back?”
