The argument between the two finally drew the attention of nurses and doctors.
After a babble of words, Edward Stephens was asked to leave. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
The stitches on Daisy Ginger’s hand had come undone in several places, requiring a second suturing.
By the time the wound was treated, it was nearly midnight.
The fatigue from blood loss and the pain of the wound were not the reasons Daisy Ginger was unable to sleep.
Her gaze fell on her flat abdomen.
Inside it was a child she had never thought of, and should not have existed.
Unlike last time, when she was unaware and suddenly discovered the child’s existence, this time she felt no emotion towards the child at all.
In the darkness, Daisy Ginger bit her lip tightly.
She hated Edward Stephens, but most of all, she hated her own weakness and inability to resist.
Combined with the blood loss, Daisy Ginger suddenly fell into weakness.
She seemed to have lost a lot of weight overnight.
The slight baby fat on her cheeks, which had developed over months of good food and drink, was gone just like that.
Her chin was sharp, and sitting on the hospital bed, she looked pitiful.
Charlotte Smith was called by Edward Stephens to look after her, but she couldn’t get close to Daisy Ginger at all.
Charlotte could feel that she really didn’t want this child, and she truly hated Edward Stephens for making her pregnant through such means.
In this world, who knows how many women wish to legitimately give birth to a child of the Stephens family and wish to marry Edward Stephens. Yet she is trying every way to divorce him, even hating their child, always wanting to induce an abortion.
Charlotte felt very conflicted inside.
On one hand, as a woman, she could understand Daisy Ginger’s impulse not to want this child, but on the other hand, her upbringing from a young age made her feel that Daisy Ginger was ungrateful.
She had finally gotten Robert Stephens’ acknowledgment, so why is she still causing such trouble?
Does she not know how much Edward Stephens had sacrificed to keep her in the Stephens family?
For her, he was doing things he didn’t like, even handing over his long-time company to Robert Stephens. He liked her to such an extent, yet she was unwilling to compromise even a little for him.
Ultimately, her upbringing won over her rationale. When Daisy Ginger threw the doctor’s prescribed medicine into the trash again, Charlotte Smith coldly lost her temper.
"Miss Ginger, if you don’t take the medicine, I’ll have to ask the doctor to take enforcement measures against you." Her face turned serious, exuding a certain authority. The attending nurse nearby dared not speak, fearing to be caught in the storm’s tail.
"Your body is very weak right now, and if you don’t take care of it, you won’t even be able to keep this child."
Daisy Ginger instead laughed.
"What, even you want to order me around now?"
"I never wanted this child in the first place. The less chance of keeping it, the better. The thought of having this thing in my stomach makes me nauseous."
Her brows furrowed, indeed showing disgust.
Charlotte Smith said, "You have no idea how difficult it is to give birth to a child recognized by the Stephens family; that’s why you’re so willful. The second young master has paid a huge price for you to live safely in the Stephens family," Charlotte Smith pursed her lips tightly, looking at Daisy Ginger, "Yet you are so ungrateful, wasting his efforts!"
The last sentence had a slightly raised intonation, one could hear the emotion in her voice at this moment.
The always gentle and soft female voice, due to anger, was filled with more typical human emotion.
