The woman’s pregnancy 33

Chapter 33
Missy said coldly, “However, given Grandmother’s advanced age, an early passing might actually be a blessing.”
Elsie couldn I believe what she was hearing and stared at Missy in shock.
Monica had always favored Missy and Percy’s family since they were kids.
How could Missy say something so heartless?
Elsie couldn’t hold back her anger any longer. She raised her hand and aimed a slap at Missy with all her might.
If that slap had landed, it would have surely left Missy’s face swollen
But the slap never reached Missy.
Ronald caught Elsie’s hand mid-air and flung it away, his face as cold as ice. “Don’t you know she’s pregnant?” he said, deliberately hurtful.
Elsie stumbled back from the force, nearly falling to the ground.
Bruce quickly caught her, pulling her into his arms.
Elsie met Missy’s triumphant gaze, her eyes filled with tears of ange-
Seeing Elsie like this only made Bruce feel even more protective of her.
As a psychologist, Bruce had seen all kinds of people, and Missy’s smagness didn’t escape his notice.
Bruce let out a cold laugh, looking at Ronald as if he were a pitiful creature.
I heard the CEO of the York Group is a sober and decisive man, but now it seems Missy has you wrapped around her finger, you’re really mistaking a fake for a gem.”
“In my eyes, you’re nothing special.”
Ronald’s eyes were on Bruce, but he was also watching Elsie out of the corner of his eye.
Upon seeing their bodies pressed together and noticing how Elsie showed no inclination to leave Bruce’s embrace, his face grew even colder. He sneered mockingly, “Unlike you, who treats the trash I’ve discarded as if it were a treasure! He saw how close they were and how Elsie didn’t pull away from Bruce’s embrace.
His face grew even colder, and he sneered, “Unlike you, who treats the trash I discarded as treasure!” He shook off Missy’s hand and walked over to Bruce, leaning in close to his ear.
“How does it feel to sleep with a woman I’ve already had? Does she satisfy you?”
Elsie believed her heart had grown callous, having cast Ronald aside long ago.
She believed he couldn’t hurt her anymore.
But his contemptuous and dismissive tone shattered the
e protective barrier she had painstakingly built..
He ruthlessly tore open her wounds again.

Chapter 33
He left her utterly broken.
Elsie slapped Ronald repeatedly across the face.
Because Ronald was so close and Elsie’s actions were sudden, no one had time to react.
She actually managed to hit him.
“Elsie, how dare you? How dare you hit Ronald? Are you crazy?” Missy ran over, her movements agile as if she weren’t pregnant at all.
She looked at Ronald with concern, tears welling up in her eyes, “Rold, are you okay?”
Ronald seemed stunned, his eyes fixed on Elsie, filled with unreadable emotions.
She hit
him for Bruce?
What did he mean to Elsie?
Ronald gave Elsie one last look before walking away.
Missy
ssy glared at Elsie and quickly followed Ronald with small, hurried steps.
Eie watched them disappear, suddenly feeling all her strength leave her body, and she collapsed.
Startled, Bruce immediately tightened his hold on her and placed her on a chair in the hallway.
“Elsie, are you okay?”
Elsie was silent for a moment before she started signing, her movements tired and weak…
“I’m fine. My marriage with Ronald has been dead for a nothing to do with me.”
long ti
time. Were already in the divorce cooling-off period. What he does has
But inside, she wasn’t as calm as she appeared,
No one knew how much pain she was in
“Elsie, is your grandma okay?” Just then, Percy and Clara rushed over, their faces filled with worry.
“The doctor hasn’t come out yet, 30 we don’t know,” Bruce answered for Elsie.
Percy gave Bruce a strange look. He didn’t recognize him at all.
But he didn’t have time to figure out Bruce’s identity now.
What happened? How did Mom suddenly collapse?” Percy asked Elsie-
just two gestures, she remembered that Percy didn’t understand sign lang
Elsie started signing with her hands, but after ju leaving her frozen in place.
“Who can understand your signing? Can you type it out for us?” Clare said impatiently, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at
Elsie.
A little mute like her could never compare to Missy.

Chapter 33
Elsie deserved in have her husband taken away!
Bruce, being a psychologist, noticed Clara’s contempt and disdain for Elsie.
He held back his anger and explained why Monica had collapsed.
When Percy heard it was because of Missy and Ronald, he was furious.
Percy stood up, ready to confront Ronald,
maybe.
e even fight him.
“How could Missy do this? Ronald must still be mad about Mom forcing him to marry Elsie and urge Missy to do it.”
“Missy loves him so much; she’d do anything he says,”
Clara quickly tried to shift the blame away from Missy, putting it all on Ronald.
Elsie found it both funny and infuriating. Even though Ronald had hurt her deeply, she knew he wasn’t that kind of person
But Percy believed it.
His brows furrowed tightly, and he cursed, “Ronald isn’t a real man! If he’s got a problem, he should come at me!”
He was about to storm off to confront Ronald, but Clara stopped him
Clara rolled her eyes internally, thinking, “What good would it do to confront Ronald? Can you beat him or is your family better that his? You’re nothing, Just stay put and don’t ruin our daughter’s future!
“I think we should inform Mrs. Raina Borgia. This whole mess stems from the kids relationship. I She spoke with a thoughtful tone, Missy and Ronald had gotten engaged earlier, none of this would have happened.”
“And Missy is due in a few months. We can’t delay any longer. The stigma of having a child out of wedlock is terrible.”
Elsie’s face grew colder and colder.
Clara was really despicable.
She wanted to tell Raina? Did she think Monica was too lonely in the hospital and needed Raina for company?
