Chapter 119: Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Stomachache As soon as Cynthia got to her office, she received the text message sent by Vanessa in the early morning. She chuckled when she read the content.

“Love?”

Vanessa loved Beck?

Beck is not young anymore. He did look sturdier than his peers and maintained good shape, but he was still in his fifties.

Vanessa was only in her twenties. How could she fall in love with Beck within a few days?

Beck must have given her hope, making her believe that she could replace Jane and become the mistress of the Miller family.

Cynthia’s eyes were cold; she grinned and put her phone away.

Vanessa shared a similar temperament to Cynthia’s mother when she was young, which made the former a great candidate for getting close to Beck and sabotaging his family. Cynthia was prepared for Vanessa’s sudden back out of their deal, and she didn’t care since she knew that her former partner wouldn’t rat her out.

Otherwise, Beck wouldn’t be fooled so easily.

It was what she had in mind. Next, she would watch Jane and Vanessa fight each other and wait to see the final winner.

There were only a few patients this morning. Cynthia stretched herself and saw Helen walking over with several lunch boxes.

“Cynthia, come and have lunch. I taught myself cooking by learning from the online chef. These dishes are specially for a pregnant lady like you. Eat while they are still hot.”

Cynthia smiled, “Thank you. To ensure I have enough nutritious food daily, Alston asked Greg to deliver food. to me. I’ll call and tell Greg not to deliver my lunch today.”

She called Greg while she spoke. The latter, who used to answer his phone in seconds, didn’t answer for long.

Cynthia frowned suspiciously and looked at Helen, “Let’s dig in. I’ll give my lunch Greg brings later to other colleagues who didn’t have time to eat.”

“Okay!” Helen pulled a chair over and opened the lunch box. Then, she heard some noises outside.

Cynthia heard someone calling her name, and she became pale, “I’m afraid someone is here for me. Put away the food!

Helen glared at her, “Forget about the food. You just find a place to hide. Don’t you remember what that online celebrity did to you the last time? How much pain did you suffer because of her? She had you pushed downstairs. And now, you are pregnant.

You should be more careful.”

Cynthia caressed her stomach gently and pursed her lips, “I know that voice; it’s my mother–in–law. You call Alston right away and ask him to come over. Only he can handle my mother–in–law.”

Helen nodded and dialed Alston’s phone number. The latter was in a meeting. His assistant Lloyd answered “Hurry up and ask Alston to come to the hospital. His mother is here for Cynthia!”

Lloyd was shocked. Mr. Smith loved Cynthia to the gut, and now she was pregnant, he treated her even more dearly. Therefore, he rushed into the conference room without even thinking about it.

The manager doing the report became nervous when he saw Lloyd barging in with a stern face. He thought he had made some serious mistakes.

Lloyd rushed to Alston and whispered a few words.

Alston’s face darkened, and he ran out of the conference room without saying a word.

Lloyd looked at the confused executives and smiled, “I’m sorry, Mr. Smith has to go. The meeting is adjourned.”

After Helen hung up the phone, he asked Cynthia to stay behind him and stared warily at Stella, who had already entered the door.

“What are you going here?”

Stella, carrying a beautiful small bag, saw Helen’s reaction and smiled sarcastically, “You really care about Cynthia. I’ll see if you can defend her like this later!”

“Stop this nonsense, and don’t try to sow discord. This is a hospital, and Alston left a lot of guards here. I’ll call security and kick you out of here if you dare to upset Cynthia. She is pregnant now.”

Cynthia added, “Alston is on his way here as well.”

Stella remained unmoved. She cast a cold glance at Cynthia, “I was afraid that he couldn’t come. I think he should come and see what kind of tramp he loves so dearly?”

“What do you mean?” Cynthia frowned, confused.

Stella must have something on her to be so confident now. However, she had never done anything unforgivable or kept anything from Alston. What exactly was Stella trying to say?

“Cynthia, how could you cheat on Alston? He will definitely divorce you and kick you out of the Smith family.

when he finds out.”

Stella couldn’t help but smile when she thought about it.

“What are you talking about?” Cynthia slapped the table fiercely, “You can’t just go around and slander me like this! When did I ever cheat on Alston?”

It was lunchtime, and many doctors and patients were in the hospital. They all came over and checked out when they heard the noise.

Seeing that she had attracted so much attention, Stella pinched her hand hard, and tears started to emerge in her eyes. She looked pitiful.

“Let me tell you what Doctor Miller did to my son and me. Since she married my son, she has been acting against me. My son loves her, but that’s not an excuse for her not to respect me. She often retorted to me and didn’t even call me mother anymore. I raised my son alone and thought I should get along with her for my son’s sake. However, I didn’t expect to see her cheat on my son.”

Stella choked up a little when she said it. She acted like she was the one who suffered a lot. “I just feel sorry for my son. That’s why I came here today. I want you all to see what a hypocrite she is.”

Cynthia’s beautiful face was flushed with anger. How could Stella lie like that? She portrayed herself as a good mother and blamed Cynthia for everything. How cruel she was!

There were many mothers–in–law in the hospital, especially in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

When they heard Stella’s words, they felt strong sympathy toward Stella and looked at Cynthia with disgust.

“You can’t really know a person by his looks. I thought Doctor Miller was nice and amiable. Who could have thought she had such a dark side?”

“No wonder she is disrespectful to her mother–in–law. She has another man!”

“She is pregnant now. I doubt if that baby was her husband’s.”

Cynthia and Helen were furious when they heard those outrageous words. Some doctors and nurses who knew Cynthia well tried to defend her, but their voices were overwhelmed by the domineeringly ignorant crowd.

Cynthia felt dizzy by those clamors of discussions, and she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

She tugged on Helen’s sleeve in pain, “Helen, my... my stomach hurts.”

Helen became nervous. She quickly supported her, “Hold on, I’ll take you out.”

She shouted to the crowd, “Get out of the way, now! Cynthia is pregnant. You can’t provoke her. She has a stomachache.”

But no one moved, no matter how hard she yelled.

Stella felt uneasy to see Cynthia turning pale. However, she managed to calm herself down by thinking of those pictures she got. She didn’t want Cynthia to have a baby anyway. It would suit her well if the latter lost her baby now.

She couldn’t help but smile a little. Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came behind her.

Two security guards came over and made their way for Alston. Seeing Cynthia leaning on Helen’s shoulder with a pale face, Alston hurried over. He couldn’t stand his dear wife looking like this.

He took over Cynthia carefully and held her in his arms. He became more nervous when he saw his wife’s pale mouth.

“Call the doctor now!”

Doctors from the obstetrics and gynecology department squeezed into the crowds and checked on Cynthia.

Alston stood beside them and looked at Cynthia. She was in great pain, and her eyes were closed. He trembled slightly, feeling like his heart was failing him.

“Al... Alston.”

A weak voice came.

Alston turned his head and saw Stella trembling. He asked coldly, “She’s suffering because of you?”
