Chapter 32
They really seem to have a great relationship, don’t they? That man even has time to come with his wife for a prenatal checkup on a weekday, a middle-aged woman commented, glancing at Ronald while she waited with her daughter.
“I’m not her husband. With a c
cold expression,

ssion, Ronald offered a brief explanation and then looked down at his phone to handle work
Even if Ronald were clueless, he would have picked up on the addness of the situation by now.
If Missy’s haby were really in danger, the medical staff wouldn’t have them waiting in line. They’d have rushed her to the emergency room right away.
Plus, the ultrasound in the ambulance had already shown that Missy was fine. Claiming a stomachache was merely Missy’s excuse to lure him to her home,
He was fuming inside but had to keep it together. He indeed had important work to do today; couldn’t Missy be a little less dramatic?
Missy sat awkwardly to one side, meeting the middle-aged woman’s strange gaze, and suddenly felt immensely aggrieved. Tears welled up in her eyes as she choked out, “What do you mean by that? If you didn’t want to come with me for the checkup, you didn’t
have to!”
With that, she stood up and stormed out, her high heels clacking loudly on the floor, drawing everyone’s attention.
Ronald’s face grew even colder, but he was genuinely worried that Missy might do something reckless in her anger, so he hurried after her. “Missy! Can you stop being so unreasonable?
But Missy suddenly stopped in her tracks, standing
ling still. Ronald walked over and looked past her, only to see Monica standing there.
Monica had come for a checkup with her friends and hadn’t expected to witness this scene. She glanced at Missy and Ronald, then pretended not to know them and walked towards the obstetrics department.
However, her friends weren’t going to let her off that easily. Monica, why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t that your granddaughter? How far along is she?”
Monica ignored them and kept walking, not wanting to engage in their obvious attempt to stir trouble. Although she didn’t want to respond, someone else did.
Missy, with a shy smile, placed a hand on her belly and said, shyly at Ronald, as if the baby were his.
id, “I’m five months pregnant. The b
baby will be here soon.” She glanced
Ronald’s brows knitted together, yet as he met Missy’s imploring gaze, he suppressed the urge to reveal the truth and stood there in
silent restraint.
This scene infuriated Monica. She saw the hypocritical smiles on her friends’ faces and their disdainful looks.
She couldn’t take it anymore. Her friends had always loved to bring down those who stood out. When Elsie and Ronald got married, many envied her for having the president of the York Group as a grandson-in-law, They admired the Forbes family for thei connection to the prestigious York family.
But now, with news of Elsie and Ronald’s impending divorce and rumors of Ronald’s entanglement with Missy spreading, these people were eager to humiliate her.
Just as Monica was about to tell Missy to stop talking nonsense and to send Ronald away, Missy, with a blissful expression, linked her arm with Ronald’s. “Ladies, continue with your checkups. We have a date and won’t disturb you.”

“After all, Elsie and Ronald are about to divorce. They don’t have moh to do with each other anymore!”
“You little brat! What nonsense are you spouting? Monica was furious, raising her cane to strike Missy.
Missy’s eyes widened in fear, and she hid behind Ronald. She was pregnant after allt Was Monica trying to kill her?
Missy was genuinely enraged. “What did I do to deserve this? R Ronald should be with me, not Elsie, She’s just returning what was
never hers!”
“You old hag, always favored that mute Elsie. Let’s see if she takes care of you when you’re old!
Monica, already infuriated after failing to strike Missy, was further enraged by Missy’s audacious words. Her heart rate quickened, blood rushed to her head, and with a roll of her eyes, she fainted on the spot.
What? Monica fainted and was hospitalized?
Elsie couldn’t believe what she was hearing from the doctor on the phone. She didn’t even notice when her phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor.
Her face fell wet, and when she touched it, she realized she was crying.
Regaining her senses, Elsie ran out without thinking. Monica was her only family left. She couldn’t let anything happen to her!
Ebfe’s tearful dash was too conspicuous. Bruce, worried, chased after her and stopped her. Learning trouble, he quickly had her get into his car, and they rushed to the hospital together.

Elsie trembled with rage, and Bruce, feeling sorry for her, stepped forward to comfort her. “Elsie, don’t be afraid Mrs. Monica Forbes will be fine. The priority now is her condition.”
