Chapter 210 You Don't Deserve To Be Mrs. Shaw
"Watch your step, Susie," Madam Shaw reminded Susan as she opened the door for her.
"Thank you, Mom," Susan replied with a warm grin.
Just when they were going into the car, a flustered voice rang out behind them.
"Susie, wait!"
Susan looked back and saw Luke rushing over to her, his face was lined with worry.
She was shocked and then she asked, "Wh-What's wrong?"
Luke did not reply instantly. He looked at her as a storm of emotion clouded his face. It took him quite a long while to finally find his voice and he asked, "Are you pregnant, Susie?" i
"Yeah," Susan replied openly. After all, she did not feel the need to keep her pregnancy a secret. "It has been two months. How about Mandy? How long has she been pregnant?"
"Same as you. Almost two months as well," Luke replied simply.
Susan had no idea why but she had a hunch that Luke did not want to talk about Mandy's pregnancy. As such, she did not continue the conversation and just smiled at him, "Well, Mr. Jenkins, if there's nothing else, I guess I have to..." "Susie,” Luke interrupted, a pang of sadness erupted from the depth of his eyes.
'Does Susan really hate talking to him so much?’
However, when he saw Madam Shaw who was standing beside Susan with an indifferent expression, he knew Susan was refraining herself. He took a deep breath and said, "I just... I just want to congratulate you on your pregnancy."
"Thank you," Susan responded with a smile.
Luke was stunned by the smile on her face.
He knew Susan had always been a kind person, but ever since she got pregnant, she had a motherly air about her. She grew even more gentle and he was having a hard time commanding himself to peel his eyes away from her.
If it were not for the accident, he and Susan might have married already. Perhaps they would even have their own child.
However, life would not go as planned. It would certainly throw you a curveball at some point in your life and shatter all your plans.
Two years ago, they loved each other as if they were lovebirds. They firmly believed that they were the ones for each other, and the thought of marrying someone else had never once crossed their minds.
Shaking his head, Luke forced the thought out of his brain. The pain was too unbearable. It was as if somebody was stabbing his heart with a knife and he did not want to experience it anymore.
He stood frozen stiff, staring at the car that Susan and Madam Shaw had gotten into as it gradually got further and further away.
After a long while, a sweet voice rang out behind him," What are you looking at, Luke?"
Mandy walked up to him. Spontaneously, she slipped her bare hand into his. Luke wanted to shake her hand off, but he remained steadfast. He pushed the urge away and held her hand still.
"Nothing," he replied flatly.
“Let’s go home. Dr. Moore said everything is fine," Mandy said, offering him a beam.
"That's good, then," Luke replied, though he was still looking in the direction where the car had driven away.
Seeing his reaction, Mandy clenched her hand that was holding Luke's lightly.
'You’ve gotten Julian already, yet you still refuse to let Luke go. You’re such a greedy monster, so don’t blame me for doing this to you, Susan,’ Mandy thought inwardly as a dark glint crossed her eyes. 1
In the hospital testing room.
"This is an urgent request, so work on it first,” the doctor placed the blood sample on the machine, "You stay here and keep track of the data." "Okay, doctor," the assistant doctor hastily replied.
The doctor nodded and then left.
The assistant doctor looked at the sample and a strange light flitted across his eyes. He quickly took another sample out of his pocket and then swapped with the blood sample on top of the machine.
After that, he pretended as if nothing had happened and calmly waited beside the machine as he began to jot down the data.
The Shaws.
"You've returned from your check-up? How was it? Is everything alright?" Julian’s message came as soon as Susan arrived home.
Susan smiled and replied, "Don't worry. Dr. Moore said everything is alright."
"That is good, then. Save me some food. I’ll come back and have dinner with you tonight."
"Okay," Susan replied, the light from the phone accentuated the gentle lines on her face.
Julian was as busy as a spinning top recently. He had countless meetings to attend every day and he had to meet many clients. However, no matter how busy he was, he insisted on coming home every night to have dinner with her. He would also try his best to cancel all his appointments so that he could take care of her a t night.
Even though he told her that he had settled all his work every time, sometimes when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would see him still working i n front of his computer.
When she thought about this, she placed her hand gently on her stomach.
'Baby, your father loves both you and your mother very much.'
"Susie, I have something else to do so I’m going back now. Will you be alright alone?” Madam Shaw asked.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'll call Mama Jean if I need anything," Susan replied.
Madam Shaw smiled and then she left.
She had no choice but to put on a benign countenance in front of Susan since she wanted to gain her trust. The moment she returned home, her face turned ugly, and all the anger she had been suppressing during the day was rushing to the surface.
'I already told Julian that this woman has a questionable disposition. Even though she’s married, she was still flirting with her ex-boyfriend when we were at the hospital. If it were not for Julian and the baby, I would've kicked her out of my family already!’ 1 This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
She took a deep breath and said to herself, 'Right now, all I have to do is wait for the report. If the baby belongs to Julian, I’ll wipe the slate clean as long as she behaves well. However, if the baby is
not Julian’s
A cold glint flitted across Madam Shaw's eyes.
The report was sent to the Shaw Mansion the next day.
Madam Shaw shut herself up in the room, and her fingers were shaking uncontrollably.
She had been longing for a grandchild for so long that she would dream about it every night after she went t o sleep. However, the more she looked forward to it, the more restless she became.
'Oh lord, please hear me out. Please let this baby be my grandchild.’
After she psyched herself up, she then opened the folder.
She read through the report, but she could not understand a thing as it was too complicated. As such, she flipped to the last page and went straight for the result.
"Based on the testing results obtained from analyses o f DNA loci listed, the alleged father lacks the genetic markers that must be contributed to the child by the biological father. Probability of Paternity is 0%.’’
"Probability of Paternity is 0%!"
Madam Shaw felt as if she had been hit by a bolt of lightning. She stared at the result and she could not come around her senses for a long while. She staggered to her feet and fell on the floor.
Even though she did the paternity test in secret, she still hoped that the baby belonged to Julian. Right now, the result had shattered her hopes.
Her speculation was right. The baby did not belong to Julian.
She sat on the floor for a long time. Then, she suddenly came to her senses and shot up from the floor. She smacked the table and hissed through her gritted teeth, "Susan! You b*tch!"
She then destroyed the report. After all, it would not d o good to her family’s reputation if the news of Susan cheating on Julian spread out. The Straws could not afford to lose face.
After she finished burning the report, she then beelined towards Julian's house.
Along the way, she said to herself, 'Susan does not deserve to be Mrs. Shaw. She does not deserve to stand on par with Julian. I must drag her down and expose her true face in front of Julian! Just you wait, you scum!'
