Chapter 190


    “I’m afraid it wouldn’t be good if she heard us. Didn’t you say that she and Carson’s father were having


    an affair? Carson’s family isn’t a big deal. If she and Carson’s dad were really having an affair, she


    would definitely be on their side.”


    “And even? I don’t think she likes Jolene very much though. She was the one who told me about


    Jolene walking into my room and the Eliza scandal.”


    “I’m just specting. The main concern would be that she and the Carson family be a team. That


    would not be good.”


    As we continued to talk, Carson returned with a ton of snacks and a tablet. “Honey, these are all your


    favorite snacks, and if you get bored, you can watch your favorite TV shows here.”


    I forced a smile at him. “Thanks for putting in all that effort, husband!”


    Neither of us spoke about the traces of abortion pills in my blood as if it was all behind us now.


    Deep down though, we both knew it couldn’t be forgotten so easily and the calm on the surface was


    just a facade.


    His defensiveness towards Jolene led me to think that it wasn’t very likely that I could handle her


    through him. I had to make some adjustments to my n. They wouldn’t use their wealth and status to


    take me on, would they? After all, that was their weakness. I had to find a way to put them back in their


    days of poverty and ignorance.


    As I was working on my n, something I couldn’t have dreamed of happened – there was an


    unfortunate incident with Jolene!


    Indeed, some things were out of our control. Take Jolene’s son, for example. I never thought to get rid


    of him, but he’s gone now, without any warning.


    It was the third day since I had been hospitalized. During those three days, Isabe visited me every


    day. She spent the day with me and only went home at night.


    At night, Carson came to keep mepany. I was disgusted by the sight of that disgusting b star, and I


    didn’t think he really wanted to keep mepany either.


    Between the two of us, we were just putting together an act to maintain that facade.


    It was stiflingly hot the day of the ident. With her little bump, Jolene hade to the hospital with


    my mother-inw to see me.

    Jolene had visited me every day for those three days. Although she asked about my condition every


    day, I could see right through her hypocritical and malicious nature.


    She didn’t have an ounce of remorse and was just teasing me.


    For a mother who had just lost her child, seeing her stagger around with her big belly was pretty tough.


    She must have wanted to push me to my limits and drive me crazy, but she could never have guessed


    that I was never pregnant all along. Naturally, I wouldn’t have had an abortion either. So her teasing


    didn’t work on me.


    Around ten in the morning she came to the hospital with my mother-inw. Carson must have talked to


    Mrs. Boyer, for she was extraordinarily kind to me. As they walked through the doors, they first asked


    about my condition and then sat down. on the couch inside the infirmary.


    Jolene said she was thirsty and wanted some water. Walking over to the water dispenser, she grabbed


    a paper cup from under it and poured herself a ss of water.


    Shortly after they arrived at the ward, Isabe looked at Jolene and said, “It must be harding to the


    hospital every day with your big belly.

    “No, not at all,” Jolene replied. “I’m just worried about Lily. She might get frustrated being here alone,


    so I decided toe and keep herpany.”


    “Wow, you are so kind,” Isabe scoffed. “Those who knew that would think you’re Lily’s friend, but


    those who didn’t might think you’re her enemy. Youe in here every day and show off your big belly


    in front of someone who just lost their child. do you think you’re making Lily feel better that way?”
