Maryâs eyes suddenly flared with a bright light as if she had spotted redemption.
Ellis also tensed abruptly, turning around.
He saw Uncle Olsen striding in, standing in front of
them.
Ellis clenched his fists. The usually headstrong man now looked as if he was greatly aggrieved, and hesoftly called out, âUncle.â
Uncle Olsen furrowed his brows.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen rushed in as well. Upon seeing them, Mrs. Olsen immediately said, âEllis, what onearth is going on?! Mary, is the child really Ellisâs?â
Mary gave a wry smile upon hearing this.
She looked at Ellis, her fists tightly clenched. âItâs his.â
Ellis bellowed with rage. âShut up!â
Even at this point, Mary still insisted the child was his⦠Did she have no regard for dignity and justwant to escape todayâs ordeal?!
305 Chapter 204
Was the child really that important to her?!
Mrs. Olsen, listening to their exchange, couldnât help frowning. âEllis, is the child yours or not?!â
Ellisâs eyes reddened, and he stared fixedly at Mary.
Mary was still slumped on the sofa, looking up at him with a defiant and sorrowful expression hecouldnât
understand.
Ellis remained silent.
Mrs. Olsen then said, âEllis, I donât know why youâre denying this child, or if you started having doubtsafter seeing that document, but Mary is almost three. months pregnant now. In a few days, we can doan amniocentesis, and everything will be clear. Donât be rash today, okay?â
She approached Ellis and said, âI know this has brought shame upon you, but a manâs dignity doesnâtcome from a woman. Ellis, be rational. If you make her take this medicine today, the child will truly begone. If it turns out later that the child is yours, youâll regret it! And it will also cause irreversible damagebetween you and Mary!â
Ellie planched his fiete oven fighter

Mrs. Olsen then turned to Mary. âMary, Iâll say one more thing. We wonât delve into what happenedbefore the marriage; itâs the 21st century now, and everyoneâs more open-minded. But if the child isnâtEllisâs, then take this medicine, and letâs all pretend it never happened. If the child is Ellisâs, then canyou agree to the amniocentesis?â
Mary looked at her gratefully. âI choose to do the amniocentesis. In one more week, Iâll be three monthspregnant!â
Mrs. Olsen nodded at her words, âAlright.â
Then she turned to Ellis. âLetâs settle it this way then. Stop making a scene, okay? Everyone, come out
time to eatâ¦â
She turned to leave after saying this.
But halfway through, she realized Ellis hadnât move
Mrs. Olsen looked at him.
Ellis seemed nailed to the spot, staring intently at Mary. âDo you have to take it this far?â
Maryâs eyes were red as she looked back at him.
Ellis suddenly hung his head âWhether the child is
mine or not, you and I both know the truth. Why keep up this pretense of aggrievement? You donâthave a say in this matter, not here, not today.â
His voice was hoarse, and there was an unprecedented harshness in his eyes as he spoke.
But if he wasnât harsh with Mary now, she would have
the child and leave.
She had given him divorce papers!
At that thought, a restlessness stirred within Ellis. He loosened his tie and looked at Mary again. âYouhave to take this medicine today. If you donât, Iâll force it down your throat!â
Having said that, he snatched the bowl of medicine from the nannyâs hand and approached Mary.
He looked down at her from his superior position. âMary, will you drink it yourself, or shall I help you?â
Mrs. Olsen was startled by Ellisâs demeanor. âEllis, what are you doing? Canât you wait another week?â
As soon as these words were spoken, James silently stepped forward. â Aunt, donât ask anymore! Ellisknows exactly what heâs doing! Does he not know
what heâs done? You shouldnât meddle in their affairs!â
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback by his words.
Had Ellis never slept with Mary?
If that were the case, then the child definitely couldnât
be Ellisâsâ¦
As a mother and mother-in-law, she indeed shouldnât interfere too much in the young coupleâs life, soshe furrowed her brows and chose to keep silent.
Seeing this, Mr. Olsen didnât speak either.
Uncle Olsen looked toward Ellis. âAre you sure you wonât regret what you are doing today?â
Ellis laughed softly. âI wonât.â
He knew that forcing Mary to take the medicine bring their relationship to a freezing point, but ev so, itwas better than losing her.
Let her hate him. As long as they could stay entangle
in each otherâs lives for the rest of their livesâ¦
Uncle Olsen frowned upon seeing Ellisâs resolute appearance and sighed.
It was, after all, a matter between husband and wifeâ¦
396 Chapter 394
Mary clenched her fists, fixating on Ellis, her gaze landing on the bowl of medicine in his hands.
She wanted to say something, but the words âthe child
is hisâ had been said too many times, and she had
grown weary!
No one would believe her.
Her reputation was so poor that everyone who saw that post thought it was true.
Maryâs eyes gradually reddened, and her eyes began to moisten.
She looked at Ellis again.
The young man had stood up to save her when she w bullied, but the halo around him seemed to fadeslowl and now, it had turned into Ellisâs fierce visage.
She clenched her fingers tightly.
Her lips trembled. âEllis, I can take the medicine, but after I do, I want you to test the childâs DNA after itcomes out. Do you dare to do that?â
She was going to make him regret it for a lifetime!!
Ellis was slightly taken aback by her stubborn look.novelbin
Victoria said, âMary, what do you mean by that? Ellisâs attitude has made it clear to us that the childisnât his. If there was any possibility that the child was my brotherâs, why would he force you to have anabortion? So, whether we do the test or not, what difference does it make?â
James also said, âMary, after you take the medicine, we wonât look down on you for what happenedtoday! Donât be so stubborn!â
Victoria nodded and said slowly, âYou have tarnished the reputation of the Olsen Family, and theOlsens have already been very lenient with you, what else is there for you to struggle with?â
Yet Mary kept her eyes on Ellis, asking word b âDo you dare to do that?â
Ellis furrowed his brows, not knowing why, but a sudden, a sense of powerlessness and panic surgehis heart as if just now, he seemed to have lost somethingâ¦
He wanted to grasp it firmly, and so he said, âI do!â
âFine, then Iâll take the medicine.â
