Chapter 50 Ten Slaps The teacup shattered under Lanceâs feet and water splashed.
Lance looked down at the bracelet on the ground and then at the bruise on Yvetteâs forehead.
They matched.
His eyes were cold as he ordered the bodyguards, âGo and inform my grandfathers that Veronica is suf fering from dementia and doesnât recognize us. She has to be sent to the sanatorium today.â
âHow dare you!â Veronica shouted.
She was eight years younger than Tanyaâs father, and now she was only in her early sixties. It was the time to enjoy her life, but this bastard actually wanted to lock her up.
He was an outsider. What right did he have to make decisions for her family?
Veronica snapped, âIâm just teaching your rude wife a lesson. She broke the vase and didnât respect her elders. Canât I do that?â
Lance chuckled.
âVeronica, I allowed Yvette to do it. Today, even if she smashed everything in the room, I will be on her side!â
As soon as this was said, both Veronica and Emilie changed their expression.
Was this woman so important to Lance?
How was that possible?
Emilie did not believe it.
After all, she had seen how much Lance doted on Yazmin and envied Yazmin for many years.
Yvette also looked up. The manâs profile was angular under the light. It was delicate and beautiful.
She looked away and felt her heart pounding.
Lance actually said he wouldnât blame her even if she shattered everything in the room.
Then, Lance looked at Veronica and shouted, âNo one can tell my wife what to do!â
Yvetteâs heart sank for a few seconds.
She thought about it carefully. Lance would say this only because his wife was a symbol of his family, and hurting her was equivalent to going against his fa mily.
Naturally, he could not tolerate it.
âYou bastard! Iâm your grandmother!â Veronicaâs hand was trembling from anger.
âVeronica, have you forgotten that my grandmother has passed away?â Lance sneered.
Veronica was so angry that her face was distorted. Lance had never called her grandmother for so man y years.
Sure enough, she couldnât soften up someone who was not related to her by blood.
Lanceâs mother already slighted Veronica, and so did he.
Soon, the bodyguard who went to ask questions came back, and Tanya also came over.
When Tanya came in and saw this scene, she immediately became angry.
She asked Yvette angrily, âWho did it?â
Before Yvette could answer, Tanya saw Emilie, who was hiding behind Veronica, and understood everything.
She suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Emilie by the hair, and dragged her over by force.
Emilie wailed and shouted for her mother all the time. Unfortunately, Rosa was not home.
Tanya didnât hold back.
âPow!â
Tanya mercilessly slapped Emilie ten times!
Emilie was stunned. Her eyes were dull, and her hair was scattered as she sat on the ground.
The bodyguard saw that the scent was quiet and went forward to reply, âMr. Wolseley, your grandfathers said that you can make the decision.â
Veronica instantly panicked as she muttered, âThatâs impossible, I want to see my husband!â
However, the bodyguard did not give her the chance and just dragged her away.
Tanyaâs father had no intention of coming over.
He didnât hesitate to choose the company when it was compared to an old lady.
Veronica was dragged and insulted as she walked. She didnât care about her image at all.
Lance acted as if he didnât hear anything. He bent down to pick up Yvette and walked out.
Yvette was shocked. She immediately grabbed Lanceâs clothes in a panic and looked at him with her red eyes in a daze.
âGo to the hospital,â Lance said coldly as he carried Yvette to the car.
At the hospital, Yvetteâs mind was blank.
Everything happened so fast and it was chaotic like a dream.
When Yvette got out of the car, Lance picked her up, but she did not notice it.
Lance looked down and frowned, looking a little worried.
Walking to the door of an office, he instructed, âTell Marvin to come over now!â
Only then did Yvette come back to her senses and she struggled, âIâll walk by myself.â
Lance refused and carried her to the bed in the VIP room and covered her with the quilt.
âDonât move. Marvin will come over to check on you immediately.â
Lanceâs tone was gentle and was completely different from when he was in the Hudsonâs place.
Yvette almost jumped up to refuse her. âNo need for that. Iâm fine!â
If Marvin came to check on her, she couldnât hide her secrets.
As Yvette spoke, she lifted the quilt and got off the bed, but Lance pressed her down.
âYouâre not allowed to go anywhere until the examination is over,â he said domineeringly.
âIâm really fine. I donât need any examination.â
Yvette shook her arms as she spoke, wanting to prove that she was fine, but her hand was grabbed by
Lance as soon as she did that.
Lance held her hand and had no intention of loosening it.
âIf you donât want him to check on you, Iâll do the job.â He scanned Yvetteâs face as he sneered.
His words were flirtatious, and Yvetteâs face turned red.
âIf you donât want me to do that, then be good.â Lance raised his eyebrows.
The two were close.
Yvette could see her face reflected in his dark and beautiful eyes.
She couldnât help but think of the scene of him pressing down on her and protecting herâ¦
At that moment, he was like a superhero coming out of nowhere.
Up until now, Yvette still couldnât believe that Lance saved her.
Her heart was pounding like mad.
But now, she could not surrender. Lance did not want a baby.
She must not let him know about her pregnancy!
Just as she was thinking of a solution, Marvin entered.
Seeing them holding hands, Marvin teased.
âShould I give you some time?â
The two were at a loss.
âIs two hours enough?â Marvin asked meaningfully.
Lance glanced at Marvin, âNonsense, hurry up and go through the examinations!â
âThen Iâll draw some blood and take her to a CT scan later.â
Marvin turned around and asked the nurse to come over.
Yvette was anxious. Out of desperation, she said, âMy stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom.â
âReally?â Lance seemed to be suspicious.
âYeah.â
âAlright, Iâll go with you.â
Yvette panicked even more and refused, âNo, I can do it myself.â
The moment she got up, Lance grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall. âYvette, are you hid Yvetteâs heart skipped a beat!
Suddenly, she smelled a strong scent of blood.
Yvette covered her mouth and suppressed her urge to vomit.
âYvette, whatâs wrong?â
Lanceâs gaze which was filled with scrutiny shifted from her face to her abdomen.
Yvette was so nervous!
Yvette felt like her heart was about to stop.
Lance wouldnât be suspicious of anything, right?
Yvetteâs palms were full of cold sweat.
She couldnât help but think of the scene of Lance pressing her onto the operating table and aborting the babyâ¦
âNo!â
Yvette screamed, pushed Lance away, and ran out.
