Chapter 349 A Bad Notion


    Piqued by curiosity, Madam Shaw opened the package and found a stack of photos sitting in the


    center.


    She picked the photos up, and the moment she saw the photo on the very top, her expression


    changed.


    "Is there anything wrong, Madam?" The servant craned her neck over to have a peek.


    Madam Shaw stashed the photos back into the package. Then, she threw an indifferent gaze at the


    servant and said, "I''m going to take a nap in my room."


    After saying that, she returned to her room as fast as she could. Upon sitting on a chair, she took


    the photos out and began to look meticulously at them one after another. The more she looked at


    them, the grimmer her expression became.


    A man and a woman were depicted in the stack of photos.


    She did not know the man, but she was very familiar with the woman. She was none other than


    Susan.


    As if driven by an unknown force, she turned to look a t the date stamp and her heart skipped a


    beat.


    The stack of photos had been taken both before and after Susan''s pregnancy.


    Madam Shaw remembered that this was the period of time when Susan had gone missing. Then,


    not long after her return, she had gotten pregnant.


    At the time, she had been suspicious of the origin of the baby, so she had tried to talk to Julian


    about it. However, Julian had full faith in Susan, so she’d had n o other choice but to suppress her


    suspicions.


    What about now?


    Julian trusted her so much, and this was how she repaid his trust? She had been meeting a man in


    secret just before and after getting pregnant! Everything was bright as day now. It was very


    apparent that Susan had cheated on Julian.


    "That b*tch!" Madam Shaw smacked the table hard as she gritted her teeth tightly.


    Whenever she thought about the way Susan had betrayed Julian’s trust, she just wanted to rush


    over to their house and have a fight with her. 2


    Madam Shaw’s first instinct was to show the stack of photos to Julian. She wanted him to know


    Susan''s true colors. However, in hindsight, she realized it would be better to wait. She knew her son


    very well. Not only was he a devout lover, but Susan also had him right in her palm. There was a


    high probability that he would still choose to believe Susan even if she showed him the photos.


    "I must get my hand on some solid evidence before exposing that slut in front of Julian," Madam


    Shaw hissed as a dark glint crossed her eyes. "The child is definitely not Julian’s. As long as I can


    take her to do a


    DNA paternity test, there''s no way Susan can talk her way out of it anymore."


    Madam Shaw had always had a hunch that Julian was not the father of the child. Now that she had


    finally gotten her hand on some concrete proof, this hunch was bing stronger and stronger.


    However, just how was she supposed to take the child out for a DNA test?


    Madam Shaw paced around the room.


    She did not have much of a problem getting Julian’s gic material. Even though he was not with


    her right now, she had prepared beforehand. She had secretly plucked one of his hair not long ago,


    and the hair was still sitting inside a sterile bag. However, the same did not apply to the baby.


    She was too small, so instead of using her hair, her blood was required to run a DNA test.


    Therefore, she had to find a way to sneak the baby out.


    She was Susan''s mother-inw, so she figured that it would not be that difficult for her to do this.


    The main issue was how she was supposed to get the DNA test done without letting Julian realize


    what she was doing.


    Ever since she had told him that she wanted to take the baby to do a DNA test, Julian had been


    keeping a wary eye on her. He had nted a lot of his men in the house and made them double as


    servants. Therefore, i f she were to go to an ordinary hospital, Julian would certainly know about it.

    "I must find a ce Julian cannot find and do the test there,” Madam Shaw mumbled.


    She did not dare tell anyone about her n, so she could only look for a way to do it herself.


    Heaven always favored those who helped themselves. Eventually, she stumbled upon an


    opportunity.


    During a conversation with one of her friends, she heard that there was a new private hospital in


    Ningcheng City. The doctors there were all very experienced and they did a very good job securing


    patient confidentiality.


    Madam Shaw became interested when she heard that the hospital was new and instantly made her


    move the moment she heard they were very good at securing patient confidentiality.


    She subtly got the address of the hospital from her friend. Then, she went to the hospital in advance


    to confirm that they did offer DNA paternity tests.


    After doing that, she waited for the right opportunity t o put her n into action.


    In the morning, Chesney was still sleeping soundly in her crib. Her face was angelic as she slept.


    Susan looked gently at her for a while before reluctantly peeling her gaze away.


    "This little fellow looks more and more like you."


    Serenity chuckled.


    "She has my eyes, but she has her father''s nose," Susan said.


    "Well, she looks more like you," Serenity said as she ran her eyes up and down Chesney. Then, she


    added, "I n any case, I''m sure that she''ll grow into a gorgeous young woman. I can’t wait to see her


    grow up."


    Susan looked gently at Chesney for a while and then said, "I hope she doesn''t grow up too fast. The


    adult world is reallyplicated, and I wish she can live a carefree life for a while longer."


    Serenity chuckled. "You''re right. Oh yeah, you have to go back to the hospital to get a follow-up


    check today, right? I’ll go with you."


    "It''s okay. I can go by myself," Susan interjected.


    During herst check-up, the doctor had said that the result of the B-scan examination had been


    kind of blurry. He wanted her to find a day to go back and have another check-up, and today was


    the day she had made an appointment with the doctor.

    "Nope. I already said I wouldn''t leave your side,” Serenity said decisively.


    "Alright, alright. Let''s go together." Serenity''s tenacity made Susan blush.


    She continued to look at Chesney for a while. Then, she entrusted the servants to take care of her


    daughter before departing reluctantly for the hospital


    with Serenity.


    Madam Shaw arrived not long after they left.


    "Where is Chessie?” she asked straightforwardly.


    "Little Miss is still sleeping, Madam," the servant replied with a smile.


    "Bring me to her."


    Madam Shaw walked upstairs and saw Chesney’s angelic sleeping face.


    Chesney was adorable, but Madam Shaw''s face was getting ugly.


    ''Hmph! You are a mere b*stard. I''m going to expose both you and your mother''s true colors and


    then kick both of you out of my family!''


    She then scooped Chesney up from the crib.


    The servant was taken aback by her sudden action. She went forward and asked, "Madam?"


    However, Madam Shaw just threw her a cold gaze and said, "Chesney is three months old and


    hasn''t been to the Shaw Mansion yet. A few friends of mine have been asking about her, so I''m


    bringing her to meet them."


    "Then I''lle with you, madam..."


    "That is not necessary. I''ll be back in one hour."


    Madam Shaw stole a nce at the servant. "I’m her grandmother. Do you think I would be so


    heartless as t o hurt her?"


    "Please don''t misunderstand, madam," the servant hastily said as she put her hands up. "Of course


    I''m sure that you will take good care of Little Miss. I''ll see you in an hour then. Please take care of


    Little Miss, madam."


    Madam Shaw nodded and hurried away with Chesney.


    The servant looked at her retreating back but did not think too much about it. After all, Madam Shaw


    was Chesney''s grandmother, so there was no way she would harm her.


    Meanwhile, Susan and Serenity breezed through the check-up via the VIP channel.


    The blurry spot on the scan became clear this time. Susan had recovered well, and there was


    nothing wrong with her body.


    "See? I already told you that I''m fine. If you had believed me, then we wouldn’t have had to make a


    trip here," Susan said, offering Serenity a grin.


    "Well, we shouldn''t take postpartum recovery lightly. Besides, it''s always better to be safe rather


    than sorry," Serenity said.


    "Yeah, you have a point," Susan replied.


    After that, they went into the car and rushed home.


    Perhaps this was the natural connection between a child and the mother, but ever since Chesney


    had been born, Susan had always felt restless when she was away from her.
