Love Is a Sweet Addiction

Terence glared at her. “I’m talking about you now. Don’t turn the topic on me.”

At this time, even if Terence called her stupid, Esther would not have any objections. After all, she was indeed too stupid about Maria.

She felt that Terence was making a fuss about the previous incident with longan. She did not doubt Maria’s motives at all. This time, she was the same.

If Terence didn’t trick Maria to confess her scheme, Esther wouldn’t probably doubt that Maria did it on purpose until now. She would think that it was just an accident.

Although she felt very guilty, she still defended herself. “I felt that I had just met Maria and had no enmity with her. She had no reason to hurt me, so I didn’t suspect her.”

She then added in a flattering tone, “But don’t worry. I will pay attention in the future and won’t easily trust others. Fortunately, I’m fine this time. Otherwise, I would be more ashamed than anyone else.”

“Take it as a lesson.”

“Yes, thank you for your generosity.” Esther got off the bed with a smile and hugged his arm. “Let’s go home.”

Terence lowered his head and glanced at her. “Your butt doesn’t hurt anymore?”

Esther shook her head, still smiling. “It does not hurt anymore.”

Fortunately, at that time, she only slipped and did not hit the stove. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as a butt pain.

…

When Anne took the report from the doctor, she was nervous and her hands were trembling. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After praying in her heart, she turned to the page of the report.

However, her prayers were not efficacious, and her worries for the past few days were not in vain. The results of the appraisal showed that James wasn’t the baby’s father.

This result shocked her. Her hands trembled as if she was about to faint.

What should she do? James wasn’t the baby’s father…

“Doctor, could there be a mistake?” She grabbed the arm of the doctor who was about to leave and glared at him angrily. “You must be mistaken, right? How could my child be unrelated to his father? That’s impossible!”

The doctor glanced at her. “We won’t make a mistake.”

“No, you must have made a mistake. It is impossible.”

“Only you know if it is possible.” The doctor despised her behavior and said coldly, “If you didn’t suspect the relationship between the child and his father, you wouldn’t have come to do a paternity test, so…”

Anne was furious.

The doctor shrugged with an innocent expression. “I’m sorry. I don’t think there will be any problems with the DNA test done by our hospital. If you are worried, you can go to another hospital and do it again. I believe the result will be the same.”

After saying this, the doctor removed her hand from his arm and turned to leave.

Anne was stunned by the result and could not accept it at all.

After sitting in the chair at the entrance of the appraisal center for a long time, she slowly stood up and walked toward the hospital entrance.

She would not believe the result. She would change to another hospital to do it again. Otherwise, she would not give up.

Although the chance was slim, she still decided to do it.

Because she was worried that her emotions would be noticed by the Gibson family, Anne did not dare to return to the Gibson family directly but returned to the Cusack family.

Betty saw that Anne’s face was pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She immediately came up to Anne and looked at her lovingly, “Anne, what happened? Why do you look so pale? Is it because of Esther… Wasn’t Esther sent to Proley by Master Gibson? She shouldn’t be able to bully you.”

“Grandma…!” Anne hugged Betty and cried pitifully.

Seeing her precious granddaughter crying so sadly, Betty was instantly distressed. She hugged Anne and patted her on the shoulder to comfort her, “What’s the matter? Tell me and I will help you to examine it.”

Anne thought for a moment and finally shook her head.

It was a secret. She could not let anyone, even her grandmother, know about it. After all, even if Betty knew about it, she would not be able to help her. Betty would only be worried.

After crying for a while, Anne sniffed and said, “Grandma, I’m fine now. I’ll go back to my room to rest.”

“Alright, don’t go back to the Gibson family tonight. I will cook something delicious for you.” Betty said.

Anne nodded and dragged her footsteps upstairs.

When she passed by the stairs and saw Doris coming down the stairs, Anne glared at her fiercely.

Seeing Doris, Anne thought of Esther, who had just gotten pregnant. Anne wished she could strangle all of them to death.

Doris had long been accustomed to her disrespect. Doris was not angry. She even called out politely, “You are back.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Anne ignored her and went upstairs.

Sitting on the big bed in the bedroom and looking at the paternity test, Anne calmed down a little.

Since the truth had been set, the only thing she could do now was to think of a way to solve the problem and not just be sad.

She steadied her emotions and took out her phone to call the people from Proley. When she heard that Esther had escaped once again and successfully saved the baby, she was so angry that she almost went crazy.

She thought, ‘Why are the people over there so useless that they can’t even do such a small thing? Or is Esther too lucky?’

She was so angry that she even punched her lower abdomen a few times, wishing she could beat away the bastard in her womb.

Her crazy actions were seen by Betty who came in with the sugar water. Betty quickly put down the sugar water and rushed up. She grabbed Anne’s hands and said angrily, “Anne, what are you doing? Why did you hit your stomach?”

“I just want to get rid of it. I don’t want it!” Anne said excitedly.

“What nonsense are you talking about? It’s James’ baby. It’s a treasure that can stabilize your status in the Gibson family.”

Upon hearing Betty’s words, Anne was even more devastated.

Her baby was no longer able to protect her, but Esther’s could!

She was extremely jealous.

But it was difficult to get rid of the baby in Esther’s belly. How could those useless people do it?

It seemed like she had no choice but to do it herself!
