“I’ve made the arrangements with the specialists. They’re all suggesting that you get a coronary bypass
as it is the least risky option, so you don’t have to worry about a thing,” Tobias reassured her as he sat
down on the side of her bed.
Claudia got Tanya to leave the ward by having her fetch a glass of warm water from outside.
She then turned towards Tobias and asked, “You went to see that woman again, didn’t you? I know her
mom is being treated in this hospital, and that you’re the one paying for her medical bills.”
“Is that why you chose this hospital, Mom? Talk about going the extra mile, eh?”
“Listen, everyone out there is saying that you’re calling off your wedding with Tanya, and that poor girl
is crying every night because of it! If you weren’t planning on taking responsibility, then you shouldn’t
have gotten her pregnant in the first place!” Claudia said angrily.
“I told you, I didn’t get her pregnant, so stop pressuring me already, okay? I don’t plan on getting
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarried to anyone!”
Claudia eased up her attitude a little. “Not even with that woman? You’re not getting any younger,
Tobias. If you had a kid when you should’ve, that child would probably be of working age by now!
Anyway, do as you see fit with Tanya. I’m too old to be getting involved in your personal affairs.”
Tobias flashed her a faint smile. “Like I said, I don’t plan on getting married at the moment. Besides, I
don’t like kids and you know that! Get some rest, Mom. I’m going out for a smoke.”
Claudia could see that he was dying to end that conversation, and decided to let him be.
It’s pointless to get angry at him, given how stubborn he is. If he really decides not to marry Tanya, then
she’ll just have to accept her fate, I guess. As much as I like her, she is still an outsider and cannot
compare to my precious boy! Even so, I still wouldn’t approve of Skylar. Her pretty face isn’t enough to
make up for her lack of education and the fact that she has a homicidal mother!
Unbeknownst to her, Tanya had overheard everything from outside the door and was secretly cursing
at her.
So all that talk about liking me and wanting me to marry her son was all a lie, huh? I knew I couldn’t
trust that old hag… No, I can’t just sit around and do nothing! I have to act fast before they get rid of
me!
When the ward fell silent, Tanya leaned against the door and strained her ears to find out what was
going on.
It was at that moment that the door opened from the inside, and Tanya fell forward onto the floor.
Claudia went pale from shock when she saw Tanya fall as she was allegedly pregnant with Tobias’
child.
“Help her up, Tobias! What are you waiting for?” She shouted.
Tanya tried to put on a tough front despite the extreme pain in her tummy. “I’m alright, I can get up on
my own… It just hurts a little, that’s all.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis woman sure is pretentious in everything she does… Instead of helping her up, Tobias simply
stared at her and called out to the bodyguard outside, “You there, come help Ms. Hanson to her feet.
She’s not feeling well and shouldn’t be in the hospital.”
Tanya clenched her teeth in anger as she spat the words at him, “I fall down while pregnant, and the
first thing you do is get rid of me…”
Skylar wasn’t really picky when it came to sleep, so she woke up feeling just fine the next morning
despite having slept on the couch the whole night.
Miranda had woken up early that day and was doing some aerobic exercises in the ward. Her body
was in such great shape that one would’ve assumed she was in her twenties if they only saw her from
behind.
Knock! Knock! Knock! Thinking it was the nurse reminding them of the checkup, Skylar let out a yawn
as she went to open the door with her eyes half-open. However, her eyes shot wide open when she
saw Tanya standing outside.
