Chapter 160: Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Austin was always poor mouthing in front of her, but he had the money to bring her sister to such an expensive private hospital.

She began to suspect: Could it be that the 200,000 Austin took was for his sister’s medical treatment?

If this pregnant woman was really his sister, it would be fine if the money was spent. But if it wasn’t...

Hailey glared at Austin, who shuddered a bit but didn’t show any cracks in his facade.

He took the flower basket from Hailey’s hand and explained, “My brother–in–law is loaded, he’s just abroad and couldn’t make it back in time to take care of my sister.”

The woman lying in the hospital bed chimed in just in time, “Sister–in–law, sorry, my husband isn’t here. My brother happened to be back home, and I started having contractions, so he had to rush me to the big hospital to get checked...”

After that, she glared at Austin, “Austin, it’s all your fault. You were supposed to give my sister–in–law a heads up, but you forgot because you were so worried about me.”

Her words made Hailey very uncomfortable, almost pissed off. What a low–level trick.

Hailey calmly said, “It’s okay. Whether he told me or not, as your “sister–in–law, I would definitely come to visit you.”

She emphasized the word “sister–in–law,” and the pregnant woman’s face visibly darkened.

Eleanor noticed the confrontation between the two and the mood of the pregnant woman.

That’s when she jumped in, “Hailey, maybe Austin didn’t tell you because he didn’t want you to get too tired? Otherwise, as a sister–in–law, you would definitely be here taking care of that sick girl.”

After that, she coldly glared at Austin, “Isn’t that right, brother–in–law?”

Eleanor called him brother–in–law to remind him that Hailey was like a real sister to her.

If he dared to hurt her sister, she wouldn’t forgive him.

In a tight spot, Austin could only force a smile, “Of course, I can’t bear to see Hailey too tired.”

Hailey generously held Austin’s hand, “My husband is the best. I’ve been with you for so long, and I’ve never had to do any housework, keeping my hands soft.”

Hailey deliberately stretched out her beautiful fingers and waved them in front of the pregnant woman, “Look, how soft my hands are...”

The pregnant woman’s complexion rapidly shifted from dark to pale. Despite her desire to speak up, she chose to remain silent under Austin’s suggestive gaze.

Meanwhile, Hailey, though feigning a sense of superiority, keenly observed their reactions without erupting on the spot. She maintained her composure.

“Honey, you were worried that I would be too exhausted, so you never let me visit your hometown. Consequently, I don’t know any of your family members. Could you please tell me your sister’s name? When did she become pregnant? Who did she marry? How is it that as soon as you returned, she suddenly experienced contractions and had to be hospitalized? Is everything alright?”

Faced with Hailey’s probing questions, Austin found his palms sweating profusely. Despite his outward calmness, it was evident that he had prepared some answers in advance.

“My brother–in–law has been involved in building a road in the village this year. He had planned to bring you home for Christmas...”

After clarifying the doubt of not taking Hailey back to his hometown, he continued, “As for my sister, her name is Allysha Zimmer. She married someone in a nearby village. They got engaged at the beginning of this year, but the wedding and marriage certificate haven’t been processed yet since her husband went abroad. I didn’t tell you because I was worried something might happen to them. Who would have thought she’d be pregnant now? I only found out when I got home today...”
