Chapter 63 One Month Pregnant

Everyone asked in unison. The doctor walked out and took off the mask. “There are a few scratches on Ms. Turner’s body, but they are all superficial wounds. It isn’t anything serious, but she still has to be hospitalized for observation. Her body is very weak, and she may have a miscarriage!” “Miscarriage?” Everyone was stunned, and they looked at each other in disbelief. “Ms. Turner has been pregnant for one month. Don’t you guys know?” the doctor asked. One month? Mark Pattinson frowned. Aron Turner and Erica Thomson seemed happy. They did not expect Kathleen Turner to be that capable. As long as she was pregnant with Mark Pattinson’s child, he could never reject this marriage! “Is what you said true? Doctor, she is pregnant?” Erica Thomson asked excitedly. “Yes, but according to the patient’s current situation, her body is very weak, and she has to be hospitalized for observation. She can only be discharged after we make sure that there’s nothing wrong with her body,” the doctor said. He had to be professional as the people in front of him were the mayor and his wife. Despite that, his words showed that he was trying to please them. Erica Thomson nodded repeatedly. “When can we go in and visit her then?” “Ms. Turner will be transferred to a general ward soon. You guys can visit her later.” “All right. Thank you, doctor!” Aron Turner said, looking like a good mayor. The doctor nodded and left. Aron Turner and Erica Thomson went to visit Kathleen Turner in the ward excitedly, but Mark Pattinson was still standing there. There was no trace of happiness on his handsome face. Right then, Aron Turner turned around and looked at Mark Pattinson. “What’s wrong? Are you not happy that Kathleen is pregnant with your child?” Mark Pattinson came back to his senses when he heard Aron Turner’s question. “No,” he said indifferently. Then, Aron Turner smiled. “Mark, you are going to be a father soon. Since Kathleen is pregnant with your child, you should quickly complete your wedding with her.” At that time, he was thinking about what expression Eileen Dawson would show when she knew that Mark Pattinson had a child. After all, there was an agreement between them. Mark Pattinson would not have a child in ten years, but now… Aron Turner could feel the pleasure of revenge in his heart! “We should go in and visit Kathleen first,” Mark Pattinson said. He did not continue the conversation with Aron Turner. Aron Turner nodded and went in with Mark Pattinson. Kathleen Turner lay on the bed inside of the ward with her face slightly pale. Her pale face gave off a unique beauty, making her morbidly beautiful. Aron Turner walked in with Erica Thomson. When Erica Thomson saw Kathleen Turner, she walked up as she felt sorry for her. “Kathleen…” “Mom…” Kathleen Turner’s eyes inevitably turned red when she saw Erica Thomson. She suffered the most right now! “Good girl, you have suffered. Don’t worry. I’ll help you to get things even!” Kathleen Turner nodded with a pair of red eyes. “All right, don’t cry anymore. The doctor said that you’re pregnant. Your body is weak as well, so you can’t be too emotional,” Erica Thomson said by the side. She really felt sorry for her. Kathleen Turner was stunned. Pregnant? She blinked. “What did you say, Mom? Who is pregnant?” “Silly girl, of course, you are the one who is pregnant. The doctor said that you have been pregnant for one month. How are you going to be a mother in the future if you act like this?” Erica Thomson scolded her kindly. Kathleen Turner lay on the bed with a pale face. If she guessed according to the time, one month ago… She did not dare to imagine it! Kathleen Turner lay on the bed with a strange expression. Mark Pattinson stood by the side expressionlessly. He looked at Kathleen Turner with a trace of doubt in his mind. “Are you okay?” Erica Thomson asked when she saw Kathleen Turner keep silent. Right then, Kathleen Turner cautiously looked at Mark Pattinson next to her. Erica Thomson saw her reaction and thought that Kathleen Turner was afraid of Mark Pattinson getting angry. She smiled and said, “You don’t have to worry. Since you’re already pregnant, you should quickly complete your wedding with Mark. I believe that Mark won’t be irresponsible to you.” Obviously, her words were meant for Mark Pattinson, who stood at the side. Mark Pattinson to take the responsibility? Kathleen Turner was stunned for a while. She looked at Mark Pattinson, who stood at the side but did not say anything. Right then, Aron Turner said, “Tell me, Kathleen. How did you fall down the stairs, and why would you fall suddenly? I believe that Mark will definitely give you an explanation.” “I…” Kathleen Turner was a little dizzy. She had not digested the news of her being pregnant yet. When Aron Turner questioned her, she felt a little dizzy. “Someone said that you were pushed down. Is that right?” Aron Turner asked. Mark Pattinson frowned. It was obvious that Aron Turner was prompting Kathleen Turner with his words. Even if it was not the truth, Kathleen Turner would put the blame on Lyla based on her personality that abhorred evil. As expected, Kathleen Turner looked at Aron Turner and nodded after a while. “It was…Lyla Lowe who pushed me down!” It was just as Mark had expected. Mark sneered when he heard Kathleen’s accusation. “Hmph, women nowadays are so vicious. How could she do that?” Aron Turner was furious. He looked at Mark Pattinson after that. “Mark, you should handle this matter. I believe that you will definitely give Kathleen an explanation!” He was pressuring Mark Pattinson now. If Mark Pattinson really did nothing, Aron Turner would definitely take action. Over these years, Mark Pattinson understood Aron Turner quite well too. Mark Pattinson nodded after that. “Rest assured. I will definitely investigate what happened thoroughly!” As Mark Pattinson said that, he looked at Kathleen Turner. “But why did she push you down the stairs without reason?” Kathleen Turner was taken aback. Mark Pattison’s words were clearly defending Lyla. She became slightly agitated when she thought of that. “What do you mean by that, Mark? Do you think that I fell down the stairs on purpose to wrong her?” “I didn’t mean that!” “You didn’t? That woman has been lying to you. I couldn’t find you these days, so I went to ask her. But I didn’t expect her to lose her temper and push me down the stairs…” Kathleen Turner’s eyes became red again as she explained. Since Mark Pattinson did not deny the child that she was bearing, she would seize this opportunity to chase Lyla away from the company as well as from Mark Pattinson! When Erica Thomson saw Kathleen Turner cry, she immediately said in a worried tone, “Don’t get emotional, Kathleen. Your body is still weak, so you can’t get angry.” After Erica Thomson said that, she looked at Mark Pattinson and winked, telling him to stop the conversation. Mark Pattinson was silent for a while and walked over. “You’re overthinking. I didn’t mean that. I just want to get things clear. All right, you should rest first!” Kathleen Turner was a little emotional, but she did not say anything and just nodded. After all, she was feeling guilty. It was just that this child… She inevitably rubbed her belly with her hand. She had to know how long she had been pregnant! … Lyla came home tired. The company was in an uproar today. Although many people said that Lyla was the one who pushed Kathleen Turner down the stairs, she did not explain at all. To the people who trust her, they would know even if she did not explain to them. But it was different for people who did not trust her. They would not believe her even if she explained because they would think that she was quibbling. Lyla was lazy to explain as well. Although there were some speculations, she still got off work on time instead of leaving early. The sky had darkened when Lyla arrived home. She seemed worn out. Even though Kathleen Turner’s accident had nothing to do with her, she did not know why the scene still lingered in her mind. Mark Pattinson’s gaze particularly made her sad for no reason. Right then, Hansel walked out of the kitchen. He saw Lyla and said, “Mommy, you’re back. Dinner is ready. We can eat now.” Lyla looked at him and shook her head. “I’ll pass. I’m a little tired, so I’ll go back to my room and rest first.” After that, Lyla walked to her room. Gretel came out of her room as well. When she saw Lyla walk to her room, she exchanged glances with Hansel. Something was wrong! According to Lyla’s habit, she would definitely finish the dishes that Hansel made. But now, she did not even want to eat. Hansel inevitably frowned. Something must have happened. Otherwise, Lyla would not act in such a way! Ever since he became a thoughtful person, he saw his mother act in such a way for the first time when she heard about his grandmother’s death abroad. The second time would be now. When Hansel looked at Lyla, his heart inevitably hurt as he felt sorry for her. “I’ll go and take a look!” Hansel said. Then, he walked to Lyla’s room and gently opened the door. “Mommy…” Lyla, who was down in the dumps, was lying on her bed. She did not expect Hansel to come in, so her face was exposed to him. Hansel frowned, and his heart suddenly hurt. Although Lyla tried to hide, he could still clearly see the red slap mark on her face. “Mommy, what happened to your face? Who slapped you?” he immediately walked over and asked angrily. Lyla did not expect him to see it, but she did not dodge it. This kid was too clever. If she dodged his question, it would only make him more suspicious. She pretended to be fine and smiled. “It was nothing. I had a dispute with Kathleen. We gave each other a slap, so I didn’t get the short end of the stick!” Lyla said. The more she forced a smile, the more Hansel felt sorry for her. “What actually happened?” Hansel asked worriedly. He did not want to discuss who got the short end of the stick or whether it was fair or not. He would make the person who slapped his mother pay! Kathleen Turner! He had let her go once, but she was still hostile toward Lyla! When he thought of that, he sneered. Lyla did not want Hansel to overthink as he was still young, after all. She did not want to give him a psychological burden. “Darling, Mommy is really fine. I can handle it even if something happens. You don’t have to worry about me, okay? “Mommy just wants to rest for a while. I’ll be fine tomorrow.” Lyla smiled. Hansel could not say anything after Lyla said that. He nodded. “Okay. You rest, and I’ll leave first.” “All right, eat properly with your sister.” “I get it.” After that, Hansel walked toward the door, but he turned back halfway. The little child had such a complicated gaze. “Mommy, no matter what happens, you will always be my mommy. I won’t let you be unfairly treated because I’ll take care of everything for you. So don’t worry!” These words were enough to warm Lyla’s heart. She was happy to know that he had such thoughts. “All right. After you grow up, Mommy will leave everything to you!” Lyla said as she smiled.
