Chapter 19 Checkup


    "What is it?" Madam Shaw asked.


    Julian stood up as he spoke, "Something came up at thepany. I’ve got to go."


    "Go then. Work is important," Madam Shaw nodded.


    "Then, I''ll leave with Susan. Next time, we shall..."


    Madam Shaw raised an eyebrow. "You can go alone since it''s about thepany. Susan can stay


    back to apany me. I''ll get somebody to send her hometer."


    Julian looked at Susan in hesitation.


    "Why? Are you still afraid that I’ll devour your wife?"


    Susan quickly said, "Julian, it''s okay. I also want to have a chat with Mom."


    Julian thought about it and said, "Hmm, once I''m done with work I''lle and pick you up." After


    saying that, he left in a hurry.


    Madam Shaw said lightly, "Your rtionship with Julian seems to be better than before.”


    "Yeah." Susan’s back stiffened.


    Madam Shaw raised an eyebrow. "What are you nervous about? I''m happy if your rtionship with


    him can further improve. No matter what, you''re still cleaner than his other women. Julian is a wild


    one.


    You''d better seize this opportunity and get pregnant since his attitude towards your rtionship has


    improved.”


    "I...I''ll try my best,” Susan said softly.


    "You can''t try. You must.” Madam Shaw''s eyes became slightly domineering. "I''ll give you another 3


    months. I f you''re still not pregnant in 3 months, I''ll stop your elder brother’s medical fees." 2


    Her elder brother was always her weakness, and she became nervous. "Mom, I’ll really try my best,


    but can you give me more time?"


    "Have I not given you enough time? 3 months is enough for you to get pregnant if you’re in good


    health," said Madam Shaw as she suddenly frowned," How could I not notice? It’s been so long and


    you’re still not pregnant. You don''t have any healthplications, do you?”


    "No, I don''t.” Susan waved her hand. As Julian had never touched her, it would be strange if she got


    pregnant.


    "Things like these can’t be determined by just words." Madam Shaw grew more and more


    suspicious. As a woman who dealt with issues resolutely, she stood up on the spot. "Come. Let''s go


    to the hospital to do a thorough checkup. You''d better not hold up my son if your body has any


    problems."


    Checkup?


    Susan got nervous. "Mom, there’s really nothing wrong with my body. I..." "Please get the driver to


    wait at the entrance," Madam Shaw ignored her plea and instructed instead.


    Then, she dragged Susan into the car.


    Although it was alreadyte, Madam Shaw had special privileges and the hospital was ready for a


    fullbody checkup.


    Susan felt her scalp tingle as she went through the checklist for the test. Out of the many tests,


    there was one test that made her anxious. It was the virginity test, i


    The hospital would usually inquire about the patient''s virginity before the test. Since she had been


    married for more than a year, naturally, no one would ask.


    However...Julian had never got intimate with her. If this test was carried out, it would definitely be


    exposed.


    If this test was not carried out, that issue would also b e exposed if Madam Shaw asked about it.


    If Madam Shaw found out that she could not control Julian and get him to be intimate with her, then


    her elder brother...


    Beads of sweat started to form on her forehead all of a sudden.


    "Doctor, please check carefully and don''t miss anything,” Madam Shaw said.


    "Mom, there''s really nothing wrong with my body.


    You...can you give me more time?” Susan was almost begging her.


    "If there''s nothing wrong with your body, then why are you so afraid of the tests?" Madam Shaw''s


    gaze grew stern. "Susan Shelby, you''d better know your position! I f it wasn’t for the fortune teller


    saying that you could prevent disasters for Julian, do you think you could step foot into the Shaw


    family? I have spent a lot of money on your brother’s medical fees. If you can''t even get pregnant


    after I''ve spent so much money, what use are you to me? This checkup must be done today by


    hook or by crook! Doctor, bring her through the tests!"


    A few nurses dragged Susan to the examination room.


    "I’m not going! I''m not going!" Susan''s eyes shed with a trace of fear and she struggled to


    escape. However, the nurses had no intention of letting her go.


    At the entrance of the examination room, she held onto the door frame and begged Madam Shaw,


    "Mom, I really have no problems. Let’s not do the tests, okay?"


    Madam Shaw ignored her, looked at her watch, and said, "It’s already 9 o''clock. I need to be in bed


    by 10, so hurry up and don''t dy."


    "Okay, Madam Shaw." The nurses exerted more force.


    Susan was about to be pushed into the examination room when she finally broke down and said,


    "Mom, Julian has never been intimate with me! How could I


    get pregnant?!”


    Madam Shaw stopped looking at her watch. She looked up at Susan and a trace of severity shed


    across her eyes. "What did you just say?"


    The older woman''s hostile gaze made Susan tremble i n fear, but since she had opened her mouth,


    the words could not be retracted.

    Susan’s body shook as she said, “Over the past 1 year... Julian and I didn''t consummate our


    marriage.”


    "Didn''t consummate?” Madam Shaw''s eyes instantly burned with anger. She stood up as though


    she had something to say but suppressed herself.


    "You shameful thing,e home with me!”


    "Okay." Susan lowered her head.


    Along the way, Madam Shaw had a sullen expression and refused to look at Susan. Once they were


    home, she got off the car and went into the house first while Susan gritted her teeth and followed


    behind.


    "Okay, all of you are dismissed. Go and rest.” Madam Shaw relieved all her servants, then sat on


    the sofa, staring coldly at Susan.


    Julian''s father died early. At that time, Julian had still been a young boy. All of his uncles wanted a


    piece of the Shaw Corporation, but Madam Shaw was the one who secured and took care of Shaw


    Corporation before passing it to Julian when he turned 18. 2


    One could imagine how tough of a woman Madam


    Shaw was.


    Susan had a sense of fear toward her from the beginning and it only increased since she held her


    kill card in her hands.


    With Madam Shaw staring at her, she could only feel herself sweating.


    Madam Shaw took a sip of tea and looked at her coldly. "So, tell me, what’s this about."


    Susan pursed her lips and said softly, "It’s...it''s that Julian doesn''t like me, so he didn’t get intimate


    with m e."


    "Can''t you be more proactive if he doesn’t like you?" Madam Shaw frowned.


    "I did but...he...he still refuses to touch me." Susan felt terribly embarrassed talking to her mother-in-


    law about such a topic. Nevertheless, she had no choice but to answer Madam Shaw''s questions.
