The woman’s pregnancy 36

Chapter 36
“You go ahead and chat with Mrs. Monica Forbes, I’ll track down the Hending physician to get an update on her condition,” Bruce sald, giving Monica and Elsie some space to talk. Then he turned and leave the ward,
Once Bruce was out of sight, Monica gently squeezed Elsie’s hand and smiled. “Bruce is truly a kind soul, staying wi

now.”
Elsie knew Monica didn’t understand sign language, so she just nodded in response.
Monica’s expression suddenly turned serious. Elsie, you need to live our life and never go back to Ronald. He’s not right for you!”
Then, Monica’s stern face softened into a teasing grin. I think Brus way better than Ronald.”
Elsie was taken aback and shook her head vigorously. She and Bruce were just friends. How could Monica get the wrong idea?
Seeing Elsie’s reaction, Monica’s eyes twinkled with a knowing look, but she didn’t say anything more.
This version of Monica felt unfamiliar to Elsie. In her memory, Monica was always leaning on her cane, seated at the head of the hall, embodying a presence that demanded the reverence of the entire Forbes family.
Monica had always doted on Missy, while Elsie had been sent abroad
Why was Monica suddenly being so kind to her?
Elsie found a nurse who knew sign language to help, then sent Bruce away. Bruce had an entire sanatorium to manage and couldn’t realistically stay with her all the time.
But Elsie stayed. The private ward was spacious, and the couch in the corner was more than enough for her to sleep on. After returning to the Forbes Villa to grab some essentials, she stayed by Monica’s side for two days straight.
On the third day, Percy and his family arrived, with Percy practically dragging Missy along to apologize.
“Mom, Missy knows she was wrong, but she’s afraid that seeing her might upset you further and worsen your c why didn’t show up in the past two days. In reality, Missy has wanted to visit you for quite some time now.”
Then he turned to Missy, raising his voice. “Isn’t that right, Missy?”
Missy looked remorseful even before she spoke. “Grandma, I’m sorry, didn’t mean it.”
Monica looked at Missy’s well-dressed appearance, then at Elsie, who was simply dressed but visibly tired.

She naturally knew who was sincere and who was not. But she kept forgiving demeanor and smiled. “It’s good that you know your mistake. Everyone makes mistakes; what’s important is to correct them.”
Percy and his family surrounded Monica, their words full of warmth, making it clear to anyone that they were a family. Elsio felt a hit uncomfortable but was glad Monica had company,
Without saying goodbye, Elsie decided to return to the sanatorium to get some things.
As she reached the hospital entrance, Missy blocked her path.
Missy’s sharp voice cut through the air. “Elsie, do you have any shame? What right do you have to stay by Grandma’s side? If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t have fainted!”

Elsie was stunned, het bows Marrowing. She couldn’t believe Missy blaming her! It was clearly Missy’s harsh words that had caused Monica to faint.
Missy continued, “If you had just gone back to Nowvaria after starting and said things that upset Grandma. What did you do to win grand even wants me to get an abortion for your sake!”

The more Missy spoke, the more justified she fell, her tone growing logrler. “Who do you think you are? You should you get everything? So all of this is your fault!”
Elsie listened to Missy’s twisted logic, unsure how to react.
just a mute. Why
No matter what she said, Missy would twist it to make it seem like he was still hung up on Ronald and trying to take him away.
She lost interest in arguing and decided to leave. But as she moved to go, Missy suddenly fell backward, even though Elsie didn’t touched her.
Ronald appeared behind Missy, catching her in his arms.
“Elsie, you vicious woman! What are you trying to do? Are you
you trying to harm Missy and her baby?” Ronald shouted.
Missy clung to Ronald, looking at Elsie with a triumphant gleam in her eyes. She had seen Ronald approaching through the glass door and had pretended to be pushed by Elsie.
Sering Ronald holding Missy protectively, Elsie felt drained of any desire to explain. What was the point? Ronald wouldn’t believe
her anyway.
She gave them one last cold look a and walked away.
Ronald felt a surge of frustration. He had come to check on Monica and see Elsie. Her angry, disappointed face from the other day was still fresh in his mind, and he wanted to explain. But now he had witnessed Elsie seemingly push Missy.
If Missy had fallen down the hospital steps, the consequences could have been dire. If she had miscarried and died on the operating table, Elsie would spend the rest of her life in prison.
For some reason, Ronald didn’t want to see that happen.
“Ronald, why are you here?” Missy
asked weakly, refusing to stand on her own despite Ronald’s attempts to help her
up.
“I came to see Mrs. Monica Forbes, Ronald replied.
Missy’s tone turned tearful. I thought you were worried about me.”
Ronald didn’t know how to respond, but Missy’s expression changed again, her eyes shining as she looked at him.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable under her look, especially when he noticed her fake eyelashes. A surge of desire to remove them
almost overtook him.
