Chapter 123
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 123 Figh But then again, she felt that two big things have happened at home, it was understandable that Daphne could not bear it for a moment. After all, no matter how old she was, she was only a woman.
With this thought, Vivian felt relieved again.
But in the next few days, it made her more and more uneasy.
On the second day, Daphne came once and sat for half an hour before leaving. On the third day, she only came to make a turn and then left. In the next two days, Vivian actually did not even see her mother-in-lawâs shadow.
Time passed very quickly and in the blink of an eye. It was the sixth day Vivian was hospitalized.
At the beginning, Vivian did not tell her mother about her staying in the hospital. Last night, only after her mother made a phone call, she knew about Vivianâs condition.
When Mrs. Holmes heard that her daughter had an abortion, she immediately got up and stewed a black chicken and made another fish. When she came, she happened to see Lucas driving his truck out.
When Lucas heard that Vivian was hospitalized, he insisted on sending Mrs. Holmes to the hospital.
The latter could not argue with him, so she brought Lucas along.
When the two of them walked in, Aunt Garcia just happened to go out. Mrs. Garcia saw that her daughter was lying alone on the bed and there was not even a person accompanying her by the side.
She immediately walked over with a heartache.
âVivi, how are you?â Mrs. Holmes nervously looked at her daughter and asked.
Lucas placed the Insulating Tube on the bedside table by the side and then stood behind Mrs. Holmes and looked at Vivian.
Vivian saw Lucasâs gaze but still pretended that nothing happened and sighed at her mother. âMom, what else can we do? You saw it too. Your grandson is gone.â
âWhy doesnât the Cooper Family have anyone to accompany you? Even if they have money, they canât treat their own daughter-in-law like this, right?â
Mrs. Holmes looked at the ward and saw that there was no one there. In her heart, there was an indescribable anger. She was a person who had experienced it before. Although her daughter had a small miscarriage, the care she received must also be the same as a woman who sat on the moon during their confinement.
Furthermore, the Cooper Family did not lack people. No matter how she thought about it, she felt depressed.
âAiya, Mom, donât complain anymore. Your daughter can marry into the Cooper Family. That was a blessing from her previous life. Itâs my fault for not being able to live up to your expectations. I fell and the child died.â
âNow that you mention it, I even forgot. Oh, right, Vivi, you didnât explain it clearly on the phone yesterday. What exactly is going on with you? How did you fall down the stairs?â Mrs. Holmes looked at her daughter and asked.
âAiya, Mom, I accidentally fell down from the stairs. You saw it too. It was because I was careless that I got this kind of treatment.â Vivian said and then spread her hands.
âIs this what you think? No one wants to become like this! The Cooper Family was too much of a bully.
Do you think that this is how our poor family treats you?â Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and felt an indescribable anger.
Just as Mrs. Holmes finished speaking, she heard an unhurried voice coming from the door.
âAiyo, Mrs. Holmes. Your words are a little unpleasant to hear, right?â As she spoke, Daphne walked in somewhat unhappily.
Just now at the door, she heard every word of the mother and daughterâs conversation without missing a word.
Vivian never thought that Daphne would suddenly appear. When she heard the latterâs words, her expression changed slightly and quickly returned to her original appearance, âMom, why are you here?â
Mrs. Holmes also did not expect that Daphne would appear at this time and she more or less stood up awkwardly. She looked at Daphne and greeted, âMrs. . . Mrs. Cooper is here?â
Their familyâs conditions were far from the Cooper Familyâs, so when she saw Daphne walking in wearing a beautiful and fashionable trench coat, and carrying a fashionable leisure bag, and although her face looked a little old, it still had a luster on it. She wore a purple hat on her head and a pair of tea-
colored fashionable sunglasses.
Compared to her dark red jacket with small flowers printed on it, it was on a completely different level.
Mrs. Holmes instantly felt that she was half a step shorter in front of Daphne. Even her words were somewhat incoherent.
Daphne looked at her coldly. She reached out to take off her sunglasses and walked to the side of the bed with an arrogant attitude. She looked at Mrs. Holmes, who was not very presentable, and then looked at her daughter-in-law on the sickbed.
Her gaze finally swept across Lucas. She felt that this person was somewhat familiar. However, she couldnât remember where she had seen this person before, so he didnât take it to heart.
Finally, Daphne looked at Vivianâs mother and said, âEver since Vivian married into our family, she has been living a luxurious and carefree life. Even I, the mother-in-law, didnât stop her from doing anything.
But I never would have thought that, before I even entered the ward today, I heard her mother say that the Cooper Family bullied her. No matter what, you are still an elder. How can you speak like this in front of a junior? Isnât this a little too much?â
âMrs. Cooper, I donât really know how to speak. Donât be angry. Donât lower yourself to the level of a crude person like me!â Mrs. Holmes heard Daphneâs words and immediately apologized anxiously.
Vivian looked at her motherâs appearance and felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at Daphne, âMom, my mother only said those words because she felt heartache for me. You must not take it to heart!â
Lucas looked at this noble womanâs arrogant manner and after hearing what she said, he could not help but say, âNo matter what, Auntie is a knowledgeable and cultured person. If you are so calculative with us crude people, it will lower your status. â
Daphne immediately stared at him and said angrily, âWho are you? Why are you here?â
Mrs. Holmes immediately explained nervously, âMrs. Cooper, he is our neighbor. He came to the hospital to take a look. â
Daphne sneered and continued, âThis is the hospital room. What is he doing here as a neighbor? And even if I do not pursue the matter just now, Vivianâs father-in-law has been sick until now, and not a single person from your Holmes family has come to take a look. Sheâs even worse than my eldest daughter-in-law. Her mother came to the hospital the next day to take a look. There was a patient at home. Its fine if you donât understand, but you actually said that we bullied Vivian. Was it our fault or yours?â
âAh? What, whatâs going on? Mrs. Cooper, are you saying that Vivianâs father-in-law is sick?â When Mrs. Holmes heard Daphneâs words, she immediately asked nervously.
Daphne immediately snorted in disdain, âIt is better to ask your daughter about this! Vivian, I will go and see your father first.â
After saying that, she turned around and left the ward without looking back.
Once the door of the ward was closed, Lucas angrily waved his fist and waved. âWho are these people? They look down on us like dogs!â
Mrs. Holmes did not care about Lucas. She quickly looked at her daughter and asked anxiously, âVivian, is your father-in-law really sick?â
When Vivian heard her motherâs words, she immediately said with some regret, âMother, Iâm sorry. I forgot to tell you these two days! The night before my miscarriage, father-in-law, was hospitalized with a cerebral hemorrhage.â
When Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words, she immediately raised her hand angrily and poked Vivianâs head. âYou! How can you not tell Mom about this kind of thing? Itâs so bad. We didnât even look at them. Look at how your mother-in-law is like. She wishes she could kick you out of the house! Why donât you have a mind of your own?â
Vivianâs eyes immediately turned cold when she heard her motherâs words. âHmph! She wants to wipe me out? Itâs not that easy! It wasnât easy for me to marry into the Cooper Family, so I wonât leave easily!â
When Lucas heard Vivianâs words, his eyes flashed with a cunning light.
Today was the seventh day of Ethanâs sick hospitalization. In these seven days, every night, Christian was by his fatherâs side.
Sarah originally wanted to stay and accompany him. But Christian was unwilling no matter what. He also instructed that when he stayed in the hospital during these few days, she must go back to her motherâs home.
Sarah knew that she could not convince him, so she could only agree to his suggestion. So these few days, Sarah brought food from her motherâs house to the hospital.
Because Daphne insisted on cooking Ethanâs food, every time Sarah came, she only brought Christianâs food.
Although Daphne hated Christian very much, in this weeksâ time, he always stayed by her husbandâs side. Even at night, he never returned home. The clothes that he changed into were also brought over by Sarah from home.
A weekâs time passed and Daphne herself also felt a little apologetic. After all, during the days when Ethan was hospitalized, she had not accompanied her husband in bed for a day. No matter what, she had to accompany him today. After Ethanâs health would recover in the future, she would use this as a leverage against him.
Under Daphneâs insistence, in the afternoon, Christian left the hospital. Seeing that it was still early, he went straight to the company to pick up his wife from work.
He drove to the square in front of Wilson Group and parked the car before getting out of the car. He stood by the car and waited for a while. He still felt that he was a little far from the entrance of the lobby. He wanted to see his little wife as soon as possible, so he couldnât help but walk over.
After the phone call, Sarah couldnât wait to take her bag and leave after work. She was stopped by Syrus who just walked out of the office.
âPresident, what is it?â Sarah immediately stopped and looked at Syrus with her bag.
Syrus walked over with a smile, his hand in his pocket. âLetâs go. I will get off work with the secretary today.â
âPfft!â Sarah couldnât help but laugh when she heard him. She followed him to the elevator.
âLooks like youâre very happy today! Is there something good?â He saw that her small face was full of happiness that could not be concealed and asked her with a smile.
âMy Husband is here to pick me up!â Sarah replied happily.
Syrus raised his eyebrows. âIs that so? Looks like you two have a good relationship!â
Sarah smiled and did not answer his question.
The two of them entered the elevator. Syrus saw the door of the elevator slowly close. He looked at Sarah, who was beside him, and blinked slightly. Thinking that Christianâs leg was injured, he looked at her and asked, âHow is his leg?â
âGuess!â Sarah blinked a little mischievously.
âIt canât be that he has recovered, right?â Looking at her cute expression, he must have recovered.
Sarah smiled again and still did not answer his question.
âSarah, let me tell you something!â
âWhat is it?â
