The Contract Marriage

Chapter 136

Chapter 136 Did You Really Drink The Abortion Medicine?

Christian nodded and watched Daphne enter the elevator before turning around and returning to his father’s ward.

Ethan watched his son walk over and then looked at him sitting beside him. After a while, he struggled to say a few words, “Chri… Stian… Vivi… An.”

It had been a week since he was hospitalized. Everyone in the family had come to see him. However, he had never seen his second daughter-in-law. He was somewhat puzzled.

He had asked Daphne a few times. But she always said that Vivian’s stomach was getting bigger and bigger, so it was inconvenient for her to go out. Ethan did not quite believe her words. Today, he wanted to verify it from his son again.

Christian heard his father’s words and understood what he meant. He smiled faintly and rubbed his father’s arm as he replied, “Her body is becoming more and more vulnerable. The child is growing up a bit faster. Furthermore, this place was filled with the smell of disinfectant. So no one asked her to come. When you are discharged from the hospital and return home, you can meet whoever you want. Don’t think about anything now. Focus on recovering your health. There is nothing at home, and Julian has managed the company well. You don’t have to worry about anything. I just want to cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, understand?”

Ethan listened to his son’s words and blinked his eyes in relief.

Daphne left the clinic building and took her own car back to Villa of Cooper Family. When the car drove out of the hospital, she first took out her phone and called Julian to ask him about sending Vivian back to her mother’s home.

But when the call connected, she heard Julian say that Vivian insisted on going back to Villa of Cooper Family. Hearing this, Daphne instantly became anxious.

“What did you say? She went back? Didn’t I tell you to let her go back to her mother’s house first? It’s already messy enough in the past few days. If she goes back to the villa, won’t she cause more trouble?” Daphne complained angrily.

“Oh, Mom. It’s not like you don’t know. Can I say anything more than that mouth of hers? She said that I wanted to chase her back to her mother’s house and want to abandon her. She also said that I wanted to add insult to injury. In any case, she said a bunch of nonsense. In the end, I had no choice but to send her back to the villa. Why don’t we just let her go back. Besides, she had just been discharged from the hospital. If we make it too obvious, this matter will definitely not make sense. . . “

Julian felt that Vivian had just been discharged from the hospital and they already wanted to chase her out. This was more or less not unreasonable.

“Forget it, you can be busy! I understand!” Daphne listened to her son’s words and did not say anything else. She directly turned off the phone with a bang and looked coldly out the window.

Vivian used to have her baby grandson in her womb, but now it was gone. She also lost her value.

If she found another daughter-in-law, no matter if it was her family background or appearance, she would definitely not be worse than Vivian.

Thinking about the moral character of Vivian’s mother that day, Daphne looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. Being in-laws with such a person was really too shameful. In addition, Vivian used to be Christian’s fiancée, her step-son. This point was often asked by her gambling buddies, and she always felt that it was shameful. But seeing that she was pregnant with her grandson, in the past, she had to endure it.

But now, her grandson was gone. Regardless of whether or not she drank the medicine, no matter what, Daphne had to find a way to chase her out.

She had already told Julian to send Vivian back to her mother’s home. It seemed like Vivian insisted on going back to Villa of Cooper Family because she was afraid of being chased out by the people of Cooper Family.

The car quickly returned to Villa of Cooper Family and stopped in front of the villa. Vivian got off the car and walked into the living room of the villa in her high heels.

When Hannah saw that Madam had returned, she immediately went forward to take the things in Daphne’s hands.

“Vivian is upstairs?” Daphne looked around the living room but did not see Vivian’s shadow. She thought that she should be in the bedroom at this time.

“Yes, Madam. She went back to her room to rest. . .” Hannah immediately replied respectfully.

“Where’s the old man?”

“He’s resting in his bedroom.”

“Where’s Lea?”

“She’s upstairs in Young Madam’s room. . .” Hannah said.

Daphne’s brows instantly knitted, “What is she doing there?”

“Young Madam said that her legs are not comfortable and let Lea go up and massage her.”

Daphne snorted when she heard that, “She really knows how to enjoy it.” After saying that, she walked towards the stairs.

Daphne very quickly walked to the door of her daughter-in-law’s bedroom. Hearing the laughter coming from inside, her brows slightly wrinkled. Then she reached out and pushed open the door of the room.

Daphne saw that the servant Lea was sitting by the bed and massaging Vivian’s legs while Vivian was lying on the bed. It was really an indescribable leisurely feeling.

When Lea saw Daphne walk in, she immediately stood up and retreated to the side.

“Madam, you are back?”

Vivian moved her body on the bed and looked at mother-in-law as she shouted, “Mom, you are back?” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Daphne simply nodded. She then looked at Lea who was at the side and said, “You can go down first.”

“Yes.” Lea immediately nodded her head and left Vivian’s bedroom. She then closed the door of the room.

Vivian looked at the unhappy expression on Daphne’s face and pretended not to see anything. She looked at her mother-in-law and was still as enthusiastic as before and said, “Mom, you just came back from the hospital, right? You must be very tired. Quickly sit down.”

Vivian sat up and leaned against the bed as she spoke and smiled as she let Daphne sit down.

Daphne looked at her and was silent for a long time before she walked to the bedside and sat down. She looked at her and asked softly, “Didn’t I say that the family was a little busy during this period of time and that you should go back to your mother’s house first? Why are you back again?”

“Aiya, Mom. I really want to go back too, but my mom said that my dad had a cold yesterday. His fever was almost forty degrees, and it was very contagious. You are an experienced person. Even though I had a miscarriage this time, my body must be as valuable as when I am pregnant. Otherwise, it would be troublesome in the future if I caught any disease. So, after thinking about it, I think it’s better for me

to come back. No matter what, there are three maids at home. They can take care of me no matter what. Besides, Mom, you’ve always been so good to me. You wouldn’t have the heart to let me catch a cold, would you? “

Daphne heard her words and eased up her expression. After a moment, she looked coldly at Vivian you marry into our family, how do you think I treat you?”

“Very good! Mom treats me better than everyone like her own daughter.” Vivian immediately replied sweetly.

“Yes, I also feel that I have always treated you well! But this miscarriage of yours, isn’t it too much for me and our Family?” Daphne looked at her daughter-in-law with a cold face. Anyway, her grandson was gone. She did not mind getting into a fight with her.

“Mom, why did you say this?” Vivian heard Daphne’s words and instantly understood what was going on. Once she had the miscarriage, this woman really wanted to chase her out of Cooper Family!

But even though she was angry in her heart, she still looked at mother-in-law with an aggrieved face.

“Vivian, there are some things that I have been holding back for a long time. Today, I really don’t want to hold it in anymore. Let’s say it all out. “

“Alright! Mom, say it!” Vivian immediately nodded her head.

“You bled heavily on the day of your miscarriage because your contractions were very severe. The doctor suspected that you had taken an abortion medicine at that time. To be honest, when I heard that, I wanted to slap that doctor. You were the biological mother of the child. No matter how ruthless a woman is, she will not make a move on her child.”

“But that afternoon, when I returned to the villa from the hospital, I found a few bloodstains on the stairs on the second and third floor, and those bloodstains were too far away from the place you fell from the stairs. I was thinking about a problem. . . Did you really drink the abortion medicine or did Sarah really push you down the stairs?”

“Although Sarah is Christian’s wife now, I know some of her personality over the past nine years. She is not the kind of girl who is particularly scheming. But I don’t believe that you really drank the medicine, so I want to ask you today. What exactly is going on? If you didn’t drink the abortion medicine, what about the bloodstains?” Daphne did not want to hide anything today. She just wanted to tell Vivian everything, so she said everything without thinking.

As soon as Daphne finished speaking, Vivian who was on the bed immediately had tears of grievance in her eyes.

“Mom. . .” Vivian only called her mom once and she was already crying so hard that she could not make a sound.

Daphne saw that her tears kept falling and she did not look like she was pretending. She slightly eased the expression on her face and took the tissue from the table to pass to her, “Don’t cry first. I don’t have any other intentions. I just feel that my little grandson left without knowing why and wanted to understand the sequence of events.”

Vivian’s tears fell as she took the tissue over. She nodded heavily. “Mom. . . I. . . Wuwuwu. . . My poor son. . . Mom. . . “

The more Vivian cried, the more heartbroken she became. She directly sat up from the bed and got up to run to the window. She quickly opened the window and lifted her leg to jump off the building!

Daphne did not expect her reaction to be so strong. She saw that something was not right. She immediately ran over and hugged her, “Vivian, what are you doing? I just casually asked a few

questions. If you don’t, then so be it! If you do this, how will others look at me, mother-in-law, if this gets out? Alright, alright. Mom believes you. Let’s go back to bed and rest first!”

Daphne kept persuading her as she spoke.

When Vivian heard Daphne’s words, she did not know if it was because she was too sad or for some other reason, her body suddenly stiffened and she slid from Daphne’s embrace to the floor without listening to her words. She instantly fainted.

Daphne originally wanted to test it out but she did not think that the consequences of this test would be so serious. Seeing Vivian’s appearance, she was completely frightened out of her wits.

She first ran to the staircase to call Lea and Hannah up before running back to Vivian’s side. Fortunately, Lea and Hannah also quickly ran upstairs. The three of them continuously took measures against Vivian. After about 20 minutes, Vivian finally let out a cry.

“Child. . . My child. . .” Vivian cried until her face was covered in tears. It looked like she was really heartbroken.
