Chapter 256
The Contract Marriage
Watching Ruby take care of Julian so well, the person who was the most unhappy in her heart was Vivian. However, Julian could go to work. It was a good thing for her.
Furthermore, with her current situation, she didnât care about Julianâs matters. What she cared about the most right now was, what should she do with the child in her womb?
Seeing that the day of birth was getting closer and closer, Vivian became more and more anxious.
Regarding the matter of wanting the child to be replaced, it was not that she had never thought of the pros and cons.
The hospital now was not like before. The child entered the delivery room with his mother as soon as he was born. There was almost no time or opportunity. But even so, she still wanted to gamble once.
Today was already nine months of her pregnancy, and she took the opportunity to go to the hospital for a check-up. She went to see Greta again.
This time, when she went to see Greta after a period of time, all the details of the day were written on a piece of paper. When she walked into Gretaâs office, Vivian locked the office door and walked to the stool beside Greta to sit down. She then took out what she wrote and gave it to Greta.
âGreta, take a look. These are all the details that I thought of. If these places deviate a little on the day of my delivery, the two of us will very likely be exposed.â
Greta picked up the paper that Vivian wrote and looked at it from beginning to end. After thinking for a moment, she said slowly, âActually you donât have to worry too much. I can tell you with certainty today that Sarahâs operation, I will do it! I have already calculated the date of her delivery, but we must definitely let her do it in advance. You donât have to worry about that. Iâve already cleared up the relationship with the nurse who often changed her dressing in her ward. Your surgery will be half an hour earlier than hers.â
âWhen are you going to let her give birth?â
Greta silently looked at her and then slightly raised her eyebrows and said, âAt that time, I will inform you. . . But. . . About the matter of attracting the Cooper Familyâs attention, you will have to rely on yourself. Anyway, success and failure will depend on this. What if it is exposed? At most, I will leave this place and go back to my hometown. Youâd better think about it before that. If you want to give up. .
. Call me anytime. . .â
âUnless you give up! I will never give up!â
âThatâs good!â
Days passed by. . .
In the blink of an eye, less than twenty days had passed since Sarah started her ninth month of her pregnancy.
After this period of recovery, the injuries on Sarahâs body had almost fully recovered. The plaster on her arm had long been removed and the places where her legs had been stitched had already healed very well.
If it wasnât for the fact that she was pregnant, she could have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago. And the day of her delivery was getting closer and closer, so Sarah stayed in the hospital all the way until after the delivery and prepared to go home.
During this period of time, the person she wanted to see the most was Christian. But he couldnât come to meet her.
Fortunately, he would call his little wife every day or send a text message. Sarah also learned from his call that he had already applied for a family visit leave. When she would be about to give birth, he could take the plane back in advance.
After knowing that he could come back to accompany her in the delivery, Sarah felt an indescribable comfort in her heart. No matter how she made it through these ten months, as long as he was around, she was not afraid of anything!
Today was Friday. Because the company had been very busy recently, Ethan only returned home from the company when it was past nine oâclock in the evening.
Not long after dinner, he went into his study again. Daphne knew that during this period of time, Ethanâs workload had increased. Her heart ached for his body, so she personally cooked some Silver-Eared bird nest porridge.
When the bird nest porridge was halfway cooked, Hannah, who had been serving Vivian, walked down from upstairs and entered the kitchen.
âMadam, I donât know what is going on but Young Madam is crying upstairs. I have advised her for more she cries, the sadder she becomes. Quickly go up and take a look!â Hannah looked anxiously at Daphne.
When Daphne heard that Vivian was crying, she was worried that something would happen again. So Daphne immediately looked at Hannah and instructed. âOkay! I will go up and take a look. You help me look after the bird nest porridge. In a few minutes, turn off the fire.â
âOkay! I got it!â Hannah immediately nodded her head in understanding.
Daphne immediately turned around and left the kitchen and quickly went upstairs. When she walked into Vivianâs bedroom, she really saw Vivian crying non-stop in the room. Daphne did not know what happened.
âAiyo, Vivian, what happened to you?â Daphne immediately side and sat down, looking at her to comfort her.
âMom, look at me. Iâm about to give birth. But Julian doesnât even look at me now. He spends every day with that vixen. Iâm still carrying his child. How can I not be disappointed?â The floor was full of tissues that Vivian had thrown. She cried until her eyes turned red.
Daphne heard her words and understood that it was indeed her son who had gone overboard but she still looked at Vivian and comforted, âVivian, isnât that Julianâs eyes canât see now? If he could see it, he would definitely come to see you every day. He needed someone to take care of him, so he couldnât take care of you anymore. His current situation was a little special. You just have to bear a little more responsibility for him. Besides, Ruby was originally just a servant. Even if something really happened between her and Julian, I will not let her enter the house. After all, you are carrying the flesh and blood of our Cooper Family. No matter what, you are the second daughter-in-law of the Cooper Family. Do you know that?â
âMom. . .â After Vivian heard Daphneâs words, she immediately hugged Daphne and started crying.
Daphne patted her shoulder. âAlright, alright! Look, you are going to be a mother soon. The most important thing for you right now is to take care of your child. . . Donât think about anything. As long as you take good care of my grandson, itâs better than anything! Donât you agree? â
Vivian wiped her tears as she nodded. âMom, Iâll listen to you!â
âI was shocked when I heard what Hannah said. I thought something big happened to you. Now that I am not young anymore, I canât take such sudden shocks. Donât scare me anymore, do you hear me?â
Vivian immediately nodded her head obediently. âMom, Iâm fine now. Go and do your work. â
âOkay! Iâm still making birdâs nest porridge for your dad. Iâll be going downstairs first. â
âOkay, Mom, you can go now.â
Daphne stood up and patted Vivianâs shoulder with a smile before walking out of the room. Just as she walked to the staircase, she saw Hannah walking up. Daphne immediately looked at her and asked, âHow is the bird nest porridge?â
Hannah smiled and nodded, âMadam, it is already Daphne waved her hand. âNo need. Quickly go and take care of Vivian!â After saying that, she went downstairs without looking back.
Hannah looked at her back and quickly entered Vivianâs bedroom. Once she walked in, she quickly locked the door of the room.
âHow is it?â Vivian saw Hannah walk to her side and asked in a low voice.
âYoung Madam, donât worry. I put them all away.â
âThatâs good!â
âBut Young Madam, the things you asked me to put wonât be in any danger, right?â Young Madam asked.
âThen what danger can there be? Itâs just a little bean.â
âEn. . .â Hannah immediately nodded her head in relief.
Daphne went downstairs and first went to the kitchen to take a look at the birdâs nest porridge. When she saw that Hannah had already placed it on the tray, she carried it to Ethanâs study.
When she opened the door, she saw that he was still on the leather chair looking at documents and immediately walked in.
âEthan, letâs rest for a while. Letâs drink this birdâs nest porridge first.â
Ethan was looking a little tired. When he heard Daphneâs words, he put down the pen in his hand and looked at the birdâs nest porridge in front of him. âIs this useful?â
âYou have been too tired recently. How can you stay up late every day? This is good for your health.
You should drink it soon!â
Ethan nodded. He understood how much his wife had put in for him. He picked it up and tasted it. It tasted good and the temperature was just right. He looked at his wife and smiled. âEn, not bad.â
âThen quickly drink it.â
Ethan nodded. He picked up the bowl and finished all the porridge in one breath. He looked at Daphne and smiled. âAre you satisfied now?â
Daphne smiled. âHow much more?â
âThere is not much left. Go and rest first. â
âOkay. . .â Daphne nodded and took the tray out of Ethanâs study.
After about half an hour, Ethan finally finished reading all the documents. He then packed his desk and got up to go back to his bedroom. Seeing Daphne standing in front of the Buddha statue and having just finished worshipping Buddha, he looked at her and said slowly. âIâm going to take a shower tonight.
Go and get me my pajamas!â
âOkay, okay!â Daphne immediately walked to the wardrobe and took out her husbandâs pajamas and handed them to him. Ethan took it and took it into the bathroom. He then closed the bathroom door.
Time slowly passed. . .
About ten minutes later, Daphne was ready to take off her clothes and sleep in the bed. Just as she put her hands on the buttons of her clothes, she heard a dull bang in the bathroom.
It gave her a shock. She nervously walked to the bathroom door and opened it without thinking.
Fortunately, Ethan did not lock the door. The first thing she saw was. . . Ethan lying on the ground naked. His hand was on his chest and he kept twitching.
Daphne was so scared that she did not know what to do. She ran over to close the shower first and then took the towel to cover Ethan in a panic. She looked at him and shouted, âEthan! Ethan, what happened to you? Ethan!â
Ethan looked at her in pain. His face became more and more twisted. âMy. . . My chest feels stuffy. .
.âAfter he finished speaking, he fainted.
Daphne was so scared that her face turned pale. Seeing that she could not wake him up, she immediately ran out of the room in a panic and called the housekeeper Uncle Garcia over.
Uncle Garcia looked at Ethan and immediately looked at Daphne to ask, âMadam, did you call the hospital?â
Daphne, who was reminded by Uncle Garcia, came back to her senses. She walked to the bedside and picked up her phone to call the emergency number in Municipal Hospital. After telling them about Ethanâs condition, she knew that it was very likely that he had a sudden heart attack.
With Uncle Garciaâs help, the two of them helped Ethan put on his clothes. They called for the driver at home and put Ethan in the car. Then, they quickly drove to the hospital.
