Two days later, Josephine was awake.
The sunlight was a bit dazzling. Josephine opened her eyes in a daze, the walls around her were snow white, and the smell of disinfectant water was all over her nose. A figure slowly emerged from the harsh sunlight, once he saw she was awake, he came and asked, “You’re awake?”
It was Isaac.
Josephine slowly raised her hand and put it over her flattened abdomen. Her eyes were still full of tears, as if the heart-rending pain she felt before the surgery hadn’t dissipated.
She looked around bewildered, and the twin babies she was expecting were not by her side. She was anxious to sit up. Isaac hurriedly pressed her back and reassured her, “The babies are fine, it’s in the nursery now.”
Only then did Josephine let out a sigh of relief, and a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out in her head again, “All I want is the child……”
She raised her head to look at Isaac, “Where was Reginald?”
Isaac was suddenly stagnant, looking at her speechless. His handsome brows knitted into a knot, thinking that she had only just returned from the death gate. He did not want to hit her, but did not know how to hide the fact from her.
Josephine turned around, not even frowning, and she was even smiling softly, only the light in her eyes was dull.
Her heart, as if it had been run over by a big truck, ached.
“I want to see the babies.”
At this time, the babies were the only driving force for her to live on.
Isaac nodded and helped her into the wheelchair, pushing her to the nursery.
Through a layer of glass, Isaac pointed to a cot closest to them and showed her the two little babies that were sleeping together against their heads, “You gave birth to a pair of boy and girl twins! They are healthy. When you get better, you can hold them yourself. Dominic went to buy things for his beloved grandchildren and he’d send them all together tomorrow.”
Josephine had both hands against the glass before she could see clearly her twins lying in their cribs squirming slightly. Their skins were as red and wrinkled as a newborn kitten: their eyes closed tightly, small mouths slightly open and doe-eyed. Although it was too early to tell, the shape of those eyebrows, the deep and slightly raised corners of those eyes, resembled a man.
Tears gradually filled her eyes and rushed down.
Isaac intended to comfort her, but Josephine looked at him and jawed, “I’m hungry and want to eat something.”
Upon hearing that, Isaac smiled, and his face full of happiness. What he afraid most was that once she woke up, her mood would be too depressed and affected her body recovery. Without doubts, he nodded and walked out.
Once Isaac left, Josephine stood alone in front of the glass window quietly, staring at her twin babies. A figure slowly approached her and stopped in front of her, a sneer mixed in her voice, “Josephine, you are such a lucky dog.”
Josephine turned her head to look at the soft face and said coldly, “What are you doing here?”
She did not forget that it was the woman in front of her who set up all kinds of tricks to slander her and ruined her image in Reginald’s mind. And because of her, she almost got hit by a car.
What was more horrible was that this woman planned to rob her babies!
Aurelia smiled slightly, her pair of beautiful eyes full of smugness, and she lift the shopping bag she carried in her hand to Josephine. The brand name on the bag almost flashed Josephine’s eyes, “You think you’re aggravated? The only reason why Reginald did not divorce you was your children, and as soon as you gave birth to them, Reginald immediately came back to me to comfort me. Whatever I wanted, he didn’t even frown to buy for me.”
She said with a mocking smile, “And you? I heard that you had an extremely dangerous delivery this time and almost died, but Reginald didn’t even come to see you.”
Being pouched at the raw nerve, Josephine bit her lip, her whole body stiffened as she stared at her. The pain coming from her internal organs hurt so much that she almost convulsed all over.
“What the hell are you doing here?!”
Aurelia looked at her miserable face and smiled coldly, ”You think I’m happy to see you?
Reginald accompanied me shopping and went home to have a rest. He asked me to inform you that you should give up, sign the divorce documents and leave the children for me. After Reginald and I get married, I will love and care the two children for you.”
She smiled languidly with the stance of a victor. She seemed certain that Josephine would definitely agree to the divorce.
Anger erupted from Josephine’s eyes, she gritted her teeth as she looked at Aurelia, ”What do you guys take me for?
We’re not divorced yet. I’m his lawfully wedded wife!
What the hell are you?
I tell you I’d die before I’d give you the babies!”
Aurelia did not expect Josephine to be so resolute, her face suddenly changed and she became annoyed, ”Josephine, you are a bitch.
Reginald had never loved you! You are brazen and tangling him! You’re just a gambler’s daughter and lucky to be adopted by my family. Now you still want to marry him like Cinderella? You should examine yourself in the mirror and have a look! Look carefully who you are!
“And I, I’m the Cooke family’s honored lady, even if I use you, borrowing your belly to give birth to babies is your honor! You still wanna compete with me?”
Josephine’s teeth clacked together, and he indignantly glared at her. Suddenly she sneered, “Even if we divorce, do you think Dominic will accept you to marry Reginald?
As long as my two children are with you, you will never be able to get rid of me. You are raising the children for me, and one day they will know the truth. You think they will still be at your mercy at that time?
I’m telling you, as long as I’m alive, just give up your hope to marry Reginald by right and title, and you won’t get a single share of his company!”
