Chapter 1571
Julien did not dare to continue thinking about it. He hoped that it was just a slip of the tongue. He wished that Jayden and Silvia were all well.
The plane arrived at dawn in Madison City. After getting out of the car, Julien and Vanessa went straight to the hospital where Silvia was in. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Julien was extremely anxious while on the way to the hospital. Vanessa had never seen him like that. She held his hand in hers and reassuringly said to him,"Julien, whether it's true or not, you should calm down first. Other people can panic about this, but you can’t."
Julien turned a deaf ear to her advice.
Vanessa was anxious.'Uulien, why are you so frantic about such a matter? How can Lawrie and I rely on you, or trust you? Just think about it. Jayden and Silvia must be feeling worse than you about this. If you can't even stay calm and help them, what are they going to do?!"
Julien and his brother, Jayden, always had a good relationship. Since childhood, Jayden had always been Julien's idol. Because of Jayden's past and the hardships he had endured in those years, Julien wished to give everything he could to his brother. Therefore, after hearing about this incident, he could not help but feel uneasy and restless.
After hearing what Vanessa said, he finally started to come to a realization. He took a few deep breaths and allowed his emotions to stabilize.
Seeing that he had calmed down quite a bit, Vanessa continued," Julien, you must know that no matter what happens, I will be by your side. You also need to let Jayden and Silvia know that no matter what happens, their family will be by their side"
During critical moments like that, Vanessa was always calm and wise which impressed Julien. She was always great. He looked at her and slowly nodded, "Vanessa, don't worry. I know what I should do"
Vanessa added, "We're here to help Jayden and Silvia. We' re not here to cause more trouble. Do you understand"
"Understood," Julien nodded obediently like a child.
Vanessa grabbed his hand and said,"If you don’t know what to ask when we get to the hospital later, just leave it to me. You just stay aside and listen."
Julien nodded again, "Alright"
Indeed, it was human nature. Regardless of how calm they usually were, when something happened to those they cared about, their emotions would always be affected. Julien had lost it because he cared too much about Jayden and his wife.
In the hospital.
Silvia lay in bed, her eyes shut tightly. No one around her told her to open her eyes. Only the tears streaming from the corners of her eyes reminded everyone else around the bed that she had heard their voices, and that she was extremely upset.
"Silvia, it's me, your mother. Open your eyes and look at me. Can you talk to me" It was Mrs. Turner who spoke. She had been by Silvia's bedside for a long while, but Silvia kept ignoring her. It was as if she could not hear her voice.
"Silvia, please say something? The baby in your womb is fine. Please don't be sad, alright?" Hearing the pleading voice of Mrs. Turner, Silvia finally opened her eyes slowly."Mom, I'm fine. Please help me contact a lawyer and draft a divorce agreement for me," she requested.
The fact that Silvia was willing to open her eyes surprised Mrs. Turner. However, when she heard Silvia's words, she was shocked and cried out, "You want to get a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement? What are you doing, Silvia? Do you still want to divorce Jayden?"
"Mom, I've thought about things over the past couple of days. I've caused a great delay in other people's lives because I couldn't bear a child. So, I'll give him his freedom in the future" Silvia seemingly said this easily, but her heart was bleeding on the inside. She did not want to leave him, but she knew she had no choice but to let go.
A few days had already passed, but every time she thought of what she saw that day, it was like her heart was being stabbed with a knife.
Three months ago, she discovered that she was pregnant. But because of how unstable the first trimester of pregnancy was, on top of her health complications, she decided to keep her pregnancy to herself. She wanted to surprise her family when everything was more stable.
The reason why she had gone to the hospital alone for her check-up was precisely that she had kept this matter a secret from everyone in her family, including Jayden. But while at the hospital, she spotted Jayden with another pregnant lady going for a check- up at the hospital.
What she witnessed was stupefying, yet Silvia still chose to trust in Jayden. As long as he gave her a good explanation, that would be enough.
He must have sensed that something was off because just as she was staring at him, he suddenly turned around and met her gaze. When their eyes met, he unconsciously glanced at the pregnant woman beside him, a hint of guilt in his gaze...
At that moment, Silvia no longer wanted to know anything anymore.
Some things were better left unknown rather than knowing about every little detail. The more that is known, the more awkward it would be with nowhere to save face for those involved.
At that moment, Silvia heard the sound of her own heart shattering. Still, she looked at him courteously, then proudly turned around and left.
Jayden quickly caught up to her. "Silvia, I can explain. This isn’t what it looks like," he said, grabbing her.
"Mr. Kyle, what would you like to explain?" Silvia said as she looked at him. Her gentle voice made Jayden nervous.
"I...." Jayden could not find the words for his answer.
"If you don’t know what to say, then let me help you with that. You have nothing to do with that woman and the child in her womb is not yours. You just happened to be there as a good Samaritan. Have I gotten it right, Mr. Kyle?" Silvia said, her face still etched with a smile.
"The child is mine, but..." Jayden trailed off. He was worried that Silvia would not believe him but the more anxious he felt, the more unclear his explanation became.
"Jayden, stop. Please stop talking, " Silvia interrupted him, "I'm disgusted by every word you say. In my heart, you're a good husband. So, stop disgusting me and let me remember you as a good husband, alright?"
As much as he wanted to explain, Jayden was anxiety- stricken and at a loss for explanation. To make matters worse, Silvia was not giving him the chance to explain.
"I've also told you before that if you want a child, we’ll get a divorce. I'll let you have a child with another woman. But it was you who told me that it didn't matter whether you had a child or not, and
that you only wanted me. All these things you said are full of disgust and hypocrisy," Silvia continued.
Jayden grabbed her and said,"Silvia, it really isn't what you think. Please calm down and listen to me. I know it's wrong for me to keep this from you, but I have my reasons."
Silvia chuckled and said,"Mr. Kyle, I think you've misunderstood. I'm calm, I feel very calm. I think you're the one who needs to stop being so agitated. If there's something you want to say, then just calm down and say it. But I'd like to let you know that it's totally up to you if you want to tell me, just like it's totally up to me if I want to listen or not."
