101. BAD LUCK

AUTHOR’S POV

“Okay… thank you!” When Brylee finished her call, the corners of her mouth smiled even more broadly as she reacted to the uplifting news.

As expected, Celine had a miscarriage. The fact that she suffered an ectopic pregnancy added even more excitement to the situation. It appeared as though heaven was actually on her side and assisting her.

She hastily changed her clothing and applied some make-up on her face, which gave the impression that she was exhausted and depressed. She felt the need to convey to everyone that she was miserable and going through a lot right now.

The following instant, she pounded on the door of Mrs. Anderson’s room. “Mom.”

Olivia had only a hazy recollection of the knocking sound coming.

from the door, but she roused her husband, who was sleeping next to her. But just as he was about to stand up, he heard Brylee calling out for his wife.

He then went back to sleep after saying, “Brylee’s calling for you…”

Olivia yawned as she looked at the clock that was sitting next to her on the bedside table. It was still early in the morning, only a little after five o’clock. What exactly is Brylee’s problem?

“Mom…” Brylee continued to rap on the door repeatedly. “It’s me, Brylee… I have something really important to discuss with you…”

Olivia got out of bed and opened the door, despite the fact that she was feeling a little bit of unhappiness.

“Mom…”

Brylee.. Why are you up at this ungodly hour? Why don’t you go back to bed and catch up some more sleep?” she said, staring at the other person straight in the eyes

A feeble smile was displayed on Brylee’s face as she spoke to her, saying “Mom, you told me the night before that you wanted me to accompany you out today, but It looks like I won’t be able to make it since I have an emergency that requires me to go to the hospital straight soon…”

“Why?” She questioned with a worried expression on her face.” What’s wrong? Are you feeling okay? Did the pain in your heart return?

Bryles gave a small shake of her head. “Nothing’s wrong with my heart. It’s Caline…” She stopped for a moment and watched Olivia’s reaction before continuing “Something happened to her. I really need to see my sister

“Your sister?” She scowled, and her tone did not indicate that she was particularly happy. “What could possibly be wrong with Celine?”

“Last night, Celine experienced a significant loss of blood…” Brylee said hastily. “I looked over and saw Sebastian carrying her out the door. I was too weak to follow them and I really wanted to have a look, but I couldn’t. As a result, I was only able to find someone to assist me in checking up on what happened to her later on. Who would have thought…”

These simple words shook Olivia’s world and rang in her ears like thunder.

Does this indicate that Celine suffered from a miscarriage? That was an idea that kept going through Mrs. Anderson’s head. Since she has just been living with the Anderson family, she will no longer have the

“Then you have to live here from now on, Brylee…” Olivia remarked while wearing a bright grin on her face. “I will help you with retrieving. everything that was taken away from you…”

CELINE’s POV

Sebastian took good care of me, and the personnel at the hospital were surprised to see him interacting in such a manner with a patient for the first time. Each time… I attempted to be unreasonable in the hopes that it would make him resent me more, but he was very patient with me.

I felt unease… no. I’m frightened. I had the uneasy notion that I might develop romantic feelings for him.

I can’t love him. I don’t want to fall in love with him. I was conceived with the sole intention of exacting vengeance against those

responsible for my mother’s pain and anguish.

For some reason… love makes me feel sick to my stomach. My mother had a lot of affection for my father, but she died because of loving him too much.

Hatred is the only emotion that outlasts love. And that is what is going through my mind and heart at the moment. Hatred and revenge

I was finally allowed to leave the hospital after being there for three days. I was urged by the doctor to remain in the hospital for a week to guarantee that I was finally secure and strong; nevertheless, I insisted on going home because I didn’t want to remain in the hospital for a significant amount of time.

Sebastian was unable to stop me from going home, therefore he did

so without first obtaining authorization from the attending physician. My medical care would continue for the next two days with a doctor attending to me, providing me with adequate IV infusions, and

requiring me to take some antibiotics.

A visit from the doctor took place earlier today. When I had finished with my drips, it was time for breakfast.

threw the sheets off of my body and got out of bed slowly. Mr. Lee had given me food in my room for the whole day yesterday, but I didn’t like the sense of being served by others, since it made me feel somewhat useless.

Dressed with a thick coat, I took the elevator down.

Lin the dining room, I could see Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, along with Brylee, eating breakfast while joking around with each other and having a good time. Every once in a while, I could even hear my sister laughing out loud.

It was Friday, and Cynthia might’ve gone to school quite early and she wouldn’t be back till evening.

As for Sebastian.. he might’ve gone for work, but I actually don’t care about him.

“Miss Celine. why did you come down alone?” a se rvant ran over to aid me, and her voice made the people who were eating at the table snap their heads to look at me.

“Tm okay, thank you.”I gave the se rvant a gentle touch on the shoulder to let her know that I didn’t require her assistance, and she acknowledged my gesture before heading back to the dining area.

I moved nearer the table and I watched how Brylee and Mrs. Anderson’s smile faded in an instant.

“Celine.” The elderly gentleman gave me a friendly grin before rising

from his seat to pull me a chair. “We’d love to have you join us for breakfast…”

“Thank you….” I smiled as I took a seat across from Brylee.

“Please grab another set of cutlery for her…” Mr. Anderson instructed

the ser vant before he sat back on his seat. “Are you feeling better now?”

Just as I was ready to answer him, Mr. Lee came out with a new cooked dish and placed it in the center of the table.

“Miss Celine…” he said, appearing a little bewildered. “Why did you come down? I’m already making a meal for you, and I’m about to send it to your room just now…”

“Mr. Lee, take her back upstairs with her food…” Mrs. Anderson ordered while giving me the cold shoulder and acting as if she didn’t want to eat with me.

Mr. Lee nodded like a loyal ser vant as he was and took my hand. ” Let’s go, Miss Celine…”

“It’s alright, Mr. Lee…” Mr. Anderson interrupted and the old chef instantly released my hand. “She’s already down here, and it would be wonderful if we’d eat together…”

Hearing this, Mr. Lee darted a glimpse at Mrs. Anderson hopelessly, unsure who he’d follow and what he would do next.

“Eat together?” the wife sneered. “Can’t you see that she’s had nothing but bad luck throughout her life? Do you want her to bring us bad luck as well?”

“What nonsense are you blabbering about, Olivia?” William scowled as he stared at his wife.

“How are you, Celine…?” Brylee unexpectedly inquired, breaking the tension that was rising between the old couple. “Are you feeling

better?

I paid her no attention and instead reached for my spoon to begin eating my food.

She continued by saying “Celine, I know you’re upset….” causing my stomach to turn in response to her dramatics. Tm feeling sad too… but it’s okay. I believe you will still have a child in the future. I asked the doctor about it, and he said that even though it is unlikely for a women to become pregnant after having one of her tubes removed, there is still a possibility that she could, right?”

She was comforting me in front of the Anderson couple as though

e was demonstrating to them that she truly cared for me, but I didn’t pay any attention to her as I continued to eat despite the fact that they were all looking at me.

“Don’t worry… even if it doesn’t work, you can always get a surrogate baby…” she added and my spoon stopped in the air as I looked at her hypocritical face with a cynical smile.

Difficult to get pregnant?

Surrogate baby?

What kind of words!

“Thank you for your concem, my dear sister….” I said as I set my spoon down on the plate. “I would definitely work hard with my

I took note of how astonished she appeared to be by what I said, but I saw that she quickly got over it, so I didn’t stop there.

“Both my husband and I are still relatively young, so we could always keep trying. The more often we do it the easier it will result in a baby, right?”

The force with which Brylee’s fingers gripped the utensils almost

made me laugh out loud in front of them.

“Ha!” Olivia gave me a condescending grin before casting her gaze in my direction. “Because you have such a wicked heart, G od has decided to punish you by teaching you a lesson. Do you believe that you’ve arrived at the pinnacle of success simply because you had a baby? It serves you right that the go ds have chosen to take the child. away from you. One should never stoop to an unacceptable level of meanness and lowliness as a human being. Otherwise, the heavens might just strike you to death!”

“Olivia!” William’s palm made a loud impact on the table, which caused everyone in the room to startle. “Is this the kind of thing a mother-in-law ought to say?”

She growled while maintaining her glare at me. “Me…?” she pointed at herself. “Her mother-in-law? As I’ve said before, Brylee is only my daughter-in-law!”
