Chapter 185 Protect the Baby
“No, you can’t go!” Emily tightly held his hand and wiped away the tears from the corner of her eye.
“You’re not in a good emotional state right now, for the sake of the child and your safety, let’s wait a
little longer.”
“A few dayster…” udia trembled fiercely, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at them, “The
funeral has already…‘

“We went to attend the funeral and were chased out by the Lamont family members. We only know that
he was buried in the Lamont family estate, but not exactly where… we still need to find out,” Ervin
paused, thinking of something, his tone also bing somewhat somber.
For the Friedan family, Edmond was the savior of their sister, but for the Lamont family, she was the
murderer.
Derrick also stood up and advised, “Edmond’s mother has given you all the inheritance, with no one to
see him off. It hasn’t been long since his passing, and now the entire Lamont family sees you as an
enemy. Mom and Ervin were right, whether you want to know where Edmond is buried or wait a little
longer until this storm blows over.”
udia pursed her lips, her eyes were extremely swollen.
Perhaps it’s not just the Lamont family who hates her, but also anyone associated with Edmond.
Thinking about Everett’s usation against himself, his heart was once again twisted.
Seeing her like this, Derrick lowered his eyshes, hiding the
thoughts in his eyes.
udia never liked him and might not have listened to him.
Derrick bit his lower lip, feeling increasingly ufortable in his heart. After all, she was his own
younger sister, and even though the truth might be hard to hear, he had to say it.
udia nced at him lightly and, in his anxious gaze, covered her abdomen and nodded slowly.
“Then let’s wait a few days.” After saying that, she obediently looked at Waldron and whispered,
“Waldron, I want to eat radish cake and dried salted beef rice noodles from Moonset Street.”
The baby in the belly is the most important now, it is Edmond’s only bloodline.
Thinking about the instructions her mother–inw gave her over the phone before she passed away,
udia’s heart was torn apart.
She broke her promise.
What she could do well now was to protect the baby in her belly.
When Waldron heard her offer to eat, an uncontroble joy appeared on his face: “Okay, okay, okay, I’ll
go down and buy it right away, ten minutes, wait for me for ten minutes!”
The rest of the Friedan family also became happy. These days, udia had no appetite and relied on
glucose and other nutrient fluids to sustain her life. She would vomit anything forcefully eaten. If she
continued to starve like this, even if the child was fine, she would be in danger. Now that she voluntarily
asked to eat, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
udia smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry, for the sake of the child,

I will also live on.”
After all, this life is the continuation of Edmond’s life.
Everett was right, she had to keep going, even if it meant carrying a lifetime of guilt, she had to live well
for Edmond.
Due to this incident, Emily forcefully insisted on returning to the Friedan’s manor for her safety, and
udia did not refuse.
On the second day of the Friedan family’s return, an unexpected visitor arrived.
Rosalie sat alone on the sofa in the downstairs living room, while udia, wearing casual pajamas,
slowly walked downstairs.
Outside the manor, heavy snow was falling, but inside the house, there was heating. She was wearing
a simple silk nightgown, as she had lost several pounds. Her once slender waist seemed fragile, as if it
would break with a touch. Her long legs swayed within the hem of her skirt, alluring and captivating.
The average person who is so thin looks like a bamboo pole, but her figure is naturally curvaceous.
Losing weight not only does not make her look old, but instead makes her look pure and beautiful like a
young girl.
Rosalie “leapt” to her feet, looking at her with eyes full of hatred and jealousy.
Edmond remained in aa for several days, and eventually the doctors dered that the rescue
efforts were unsessful and he had passed away. The day she received the news, she nearly lost
her mind, and it was the court summons that shattered her illusions.
udia told her!
She tried several times to rush into the hospital, but was stopped firmly by the Friedan family’s
bodyguards. She couldn’t get in at all. The hospital had be the private hospital of the Friedan
family, but no one raised any objections.
After learning that udia had returned to the Friedan family, she immediately rushed to the Friedan
family.
“Do you have the audacity to still be alive?” The thought of the scene where Edmond threw himself
onto her in the news made Rosalie’s heart ache like a knife.
Edmond, her Edmond, was killed because of this woman.
He was the heir of the Lamont family, with a long road ahead in life, but it was ruined by the woman in
front of him.
“Why not live?” udia looked at her, a mocking curve forming at the corner of her mouth. “If I didn’t
send you in, of course I have to stay alive.”
Rosalie’s face turned pale instantly: “If it weren’t for you, Edmond wouldn’t have died at all. Why wasn’t
it you who died? Why?!”
udia pursed her lips and remained silent, her gaze filled with coldness.
She remembered Everett saying that Rosalie had relied on threatening Edmond for many years.
“He risked his life to protect me, not only did I not die, but I will also live well.” She nced at Rosalie,
expressionless, “On the contrary, Rosalie, aren’t you afraid that Edmond wille looking for you in
the middle of the night?”
udia’s words hit Rosalie’s heart like a heavy hammer.
Rosalie looked at her, her eyes red with intensity. “He died, how dare you still have the audacity to be
alive?”
She rushed toward udia, but at that moment, two female bodyguards quickly rushed out from the
side and kicked her away.
Rosalie suddenly leaned back, fell to the ground, clutching her stomach, and beads of sweat appeared
on her forehead.
Rosalie looked fearfully at udia as two bodyguards suddenly appeared.
“Did you receive the court summons?” udia casually sat down on the sofa,zily looking at her.
“Prepare yourself well and better reveal your aplices, otherwise I don’t know what kind of
punishment awaits you in the end.”
“I am Adron, aw–abiding citizen. What kind of criminalw awaits me?” Rosalie slowly stood up and
nced at the two short–haired female bodyguards. She chuckled softly, “I didn’t expect you to be so
afraid of death, hiring two bodyguards to apany you. It’s unfortunate that person didn’t blow you
up.”
udia remained silent, wearing a yful smile on her face.
Rosalie’s heart was pounding.
She has now been abandoned by the yton family, and udia cannot find any evidence in her
hands. But knowing that the evidence that should be destroyed has been destroyed, even if she is
sued, as long as thewyer is good, she is not afraid of losing thewsuit.
At the thought of this, a person suddenly came to Rosalie’s mind.
Edmond had given her a contact information before, saying that Adron was the bestwyer. If she
received a court summons, she could seek defense from this person.
Seeing udia’s calm demeanor, Rosalie’s heart sank to the bottom.
She came today, firstly to vent her emotions, and secondly to check on udia’s condition.
Originally, it was thought that she would bepletely defeated, but it turned out that besides losing
some weight, her hatred toward herself did not diminish.
“Let’s meet in court, I’m actually quite curious to see what evidence you will present,” Rosalie’s pink lips
curved into a smug smile. “Edmond has hired the bestwyer, Adron, for me. I believe his spirit in
heaven will surely bless me with victory.”
The satisfaction in her eyes was like a sharp dagger, cutting through all the disguises.
After she left, udia sat on the sofa, wondering about something.
At that moment, Derrick entered the room and saw udia, his footsteps halted.
udia also caught sight of him, slightly parting her lips, her soft voice trembling gently, “Do you know
the bestwyer for Adron?”
Rosalie wants to destroy everything that Edmond did before his death.
If Edmond were alive, she would have let it go, but since he passed away, she doesn’t want Rosalie to
continue misusing his resources.
Tristen died, but many things should not have been Edmond’s responsibility.
Rosalie’s actions should havended her in jail a long time ago.
Derrick’s expression froze for a moment, and he nodded gently, “I know.”
Adron’swyer, widely recognized as the best, was named Roger Rowe. At the young age of thirty, he
had never experienced a defeat in any case. No matter what thewsuit was, he had the ability to turn
it around in his favor. This was because he was awyer who enjoyed finding evidence on his own, and
he could even uncover many hidden pieces of evidence.
“What did you want him to do?”
“Go talk to him.” udia stood up, her gaze serene yet icy.
Watching her confidently walk into the changing room, Derrick furrowed his brows.
Since Edmond passed away, she seemed like a different person.
Just like a sharp knife, suddenly unsheathed.
The light shone fiercely and mercilessly.
