Chapter 217 Pregnant


    Rowane changed out of her clothes. Nathan still bought the dress regardless, but he no longer insisted


    on giving it to her. Rather, he held it in his hands together with the purple one. She couldn''t help but


    ask, "Nathan, why did you buy it even though I don''t want it?"


    Nathanughed and said, "Since you don''t like it, I won''t force you. I have a younger sister at home.


    I''ve bought it for her."


    Rowane did not think much into it and she immediately believed him. She breathed a sigh of relief and


    said, "Then, what else do you want to buy?"


    Nathan looked around and walked towards the more matured clothing aisle. He said, "I want to buy a


    set of clothes for my grandmother."


    "Nathan, you''re so filial," Rowane knew that Nathan had a grandma. She had heard from the maids


    who worked in the vi mention before that Nathan treated Britney very well. Clearly that seemed to be


    the case.


    Nathan took the opportunity to say, "My parents passed away early, and it was my grandmother who


    raised me and my sister. So I should be filial to her. Do you have any elderly people in your home? Do


    you have any memories of spending time with them?"


    Rowane thought about it carefully with a frown and said, "I can''t remember anything, but when I see old


    people, I feel very warm inside. Perhaps I used to stay with my grandparents before as well!"


    In fact, Rowane''s foster grandparents had died very early, and she had not spent much time with them.


    The reason why she felt warm towards the elderly was because she had a kind heart. She often visited


    the old folks home to visit the lonely older citizens there. Although she had lost her memory, her nature


    of caring for the elderly would not change. Hence, she would naturally feel a sense of affection when


    she saw them.


    Nathan was overjoyed. He had hoped that Rowane would be more caring for the old. It would be better


    if she had experience of taking care of them. That way he would be more at ease to let her keep


    Britneypany.


    After buying a set of clothes for Britney, Nathan went to the kids'' section and bought a set of boy


    clothes. Rowane guessed that he was buying it for Irene''s son. She wanted to ask him, but since he


    didn''t say, she took the hint to keep quiet about it. She didn''t want him to think that she was too nosy.


    Since there were so many things, Rowane naturally had to help him hold some. Nathan pretended to


    be regretful and said, "I should have called my driver over to pick me. How will I carry all these things


    home?"


    Rowane thought for a moment and said, "I can help you carry some stuff over on a taxi. Then, I''ll take


    the train back to the vi."


    "Why don''t you take a taxi with me back to the house? I won''t be able to carry so many things down


    when I reach my house anyway. Taxis aren''t allowed to go past the gate of my neighborhood area. So


    we still have to walk quite a bit from the gate to my house!" Of course, this was a lie. Nathan wanted to


    use this as an excuse to invite her home. The White Mansion was a private bungalow, not some


    shopping mall. There was no ''gate'' that the taxis couldn''t go past. After all, he was the owner of the


    "Is that so? Alright then! I''ll send you home first, and then I''ll take the train back to the vi," Rowane


    naively believed in his lie. She thought that Nathan had to be staying in a high-end neighborhood. All


    the residents there had to be very rich, therefore the management of the grounds would be stricter.


    Hence to her, it made sense that taxis would not be able to go past a certain point of the neighborhood.


    However, she never thought about the fact that Nathan could easily call his driver or his maids toe


    out to help him carry all his things even if he had to get off at the gate.


    "Thank you so much. You don''t have to take the trainter. I''ll get the driver to send you back to your


    vi," Nathan was touched. This girl was so frugal. She would rather save money by taking the train


    instead of a cab.


    Rowane smiled and said, "There''s no need for that. I can just take the train myself. Just let me know


    which line I need to take."


    Nathan shook his head and said, "That won''t do. If you take the train, you''ll also have to take the bus.


    And after that you also have to go through a fair bit of a walk. Since I''m troubling you so much, how


    could I let you go back alone?"


    Rowane knew that since Nathan was being a gentleman, and there was no way he would agree to her


    suggestion. So, she just gave in to his idea.


    The two of them left the shopping mall. Nathan hailed a cab and told the driver his address. Then off


    they headed to White Mansion.


    Cecilia was pregnant! Although they had not been together that long, Tommy was ted beyond belief.


    After all, Cecilia was not young anymore and worked as a prostitute. It was a miracle that she was able


    to get pregnant.


    Tommy felt like the child had been bestowed upon them by God. God had sent a child to them to


    strengthen their rtionship. With the child, his mother would definitely not object to them being


    together. Tommy was looking forward to this child. He went online and read up on what to do during a


    pregnancy and how to help. For example, he found out that it was good for the mother to get some light


    exercise after meals to improve blood cirction. That would in turn improve the mother and the child''s


    health. With that in mind, he volunteered to apany Cecilia on a walk.


    They strolled around like a young couple in their neighborhood. They did not care about all the staring


    eyes. Naturally, they did not notice that some distance away, Loraine was watching them with her


    mouth open in shock.


    Loraine was totally stunned by her discovery! She watched as Rosa coyly called Tommy her ''darling''.


    She watched as Tommy kissed Rosa on the cheek and how brazen they were with disying public


    affection.


    Even after Tommy and Rosa had long disappeared from her sight, she still stood there, stunned.


    Loraine went back defeatedly to the Myers home. She felt really upset! She had never dreamed that


    the old woman her son had impregnated was Rosa.


    Why did Rosa change her name? If it wasn''t for her name change, no matter who she was, Loraine


    would never agree to her getting together with her son!


    It was incest. It was against the naturalws of the world!


    It was a long story. Loraine had been impregnated with Tommy after sleeping together with a gangster


    from Cat Alley. That man was Rosa''s brother, Jackson.


    Jackson had been arrested and sent to prison. Since Loraine had no way to survive, she had sent her


    son to the Lewis family and left San Fetillo on her own.


    For so many years, she had never thought she would have anything to do with them again. What a


    small world. Her own son had actually gotten together with his aunt, and had even impregnated her.


    "I can''t let my son get together with Rosa! But how do I tell him? I can''t tell him Cecilia is his aunt Rosa.


    What if he can''t ept the reality of it?" She thought.


    Her son was so deeply in love with Cecilia. There was no way he would listen to her and break up with


    Rosa. What should she do?


    Loraine was breaking out in a cold sweat. It was impossible for her to break her son and Rosa apart.


    The most important matter at hand was to get rid of the monster in Rosa''s stomach, as it was a product


    of incest. The probability of the child being born abnormal was high. Who knew what sort of monster


    woulde out of her? Loraine shuddered at the thought. She had to quickly sort this thing out.


    Meanwhile, after so long, Margaret''s condition was finally improving. The doctor said that based on her


    current progress, it was likely that Margaret would regain her consciousness. Edric was overjoyed at


    the idea. In order to prevent Marie and the rest knowing about Margaret''s news, he gave strict orders to


    seal off all news from the hospital. Marie and the others only knew that Margaret was never waking up.


    After Deborah was taken away from the hospital, she had yet to return. Her phone line had been cut off


    as well. Lily was worried so she called Steven and asked what happened to Deborah. Steven hated Lily


    as well. The only reason he had not abandoned her was because she was half his flesh and bones. On


    the call, Steven annoyedly told her to just focus on resting well in the hospital, and that he would hire


    two caretakers just to look after her.


    He also told her that Deborah was busy and not to worry about her. Lily wasn''t a fool of course, when it


    came to Deborah, nothing else was more important. Her gut told her that something was off and she


    began to feel afraid. Could it be that Steven had uncovered their ns and was punishing them?


    Lily told Marie about her worries. When Marie heard what was going on, she got a huge shock. Why


    would Deborah cut off her phone line just because she was busy? Something was not right, she had to


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    find out what was going on.


    Marie and Deborah had always been a team in doing all their nasty things together, so Marie never had


    to fight alone. Now that Deborah had suddenly disappeared, Marie was very worried. She started to


    ask around about Deborah, but Steven had kept the secret well. No news was leaked at all so Marie


    had no choice but to hire a private detective.


    Right as the investigation started, Marie heard that Deborah had died in a car crash!


    Apart from Steven and Lily, Deborah had no other close rtives. Hence, her death had not reached


    anyone''s ears. Apparently, Deborah had gotten into an ident overseas. Steven had acted quickly.


    After confirming the body was hers, he had the body cremated. The funeral was also very lowkey.


    It was Steven''s personal affairs so naturally no one really cared. However, Marie could not let the


    matter slide. Something was very fishy about how Steven was handling the matter. There had to be


    something else going on that she had to find out about.


    Deborah''s death also surprised Edric and Irene. Irene was actually furious, because Deborah had died


    before Irene got the chance to take revenge. Of all the times to die, why now? Death was too easy of a


    punishment to her.


    Edric felt the same way. That b*tch had really died in a timely manner. He was just about to set her up


    but she managed to escape through death.


    On the other hand, Kinsey pped her hands gleefully. Karma was indeed a b*tch. Deborah''s karma


    hade right when she deserved it. Without Deborah''s vicious nning and constant stirring up of


    trouble, Irene''s life would be a lot better from now on. Lily would be a lot weaker on her own, especially


    since she was pregnant. She could notpare to her mother in terms of messing with Irene.


    However, Jordan did not share the same views. He instinctively felt like there was more to the matter.


    Deborah''s ident was too sudden. Jordan told Edric about his suspicions and Edric agreed with him.


    The timing of Deborah''s death was too coincidental. Steven had to be hiding something.


    Edric sent some men to observe Steven. Apart from his driver and Maisy, Steven had no one else


    close to him. Edric''s men followed the two of them closely. At first, they found nothing, but after some


    observation, they caught the driver visiting a mental asylum.


    Edric''s men investigated further into the mental asylum and found out what was going on immediately.


    Deborah was currently being locked up inside.
