Elena Bush had never felt that anyone could be so shameless as this, her whole body followed the incessant upward surge of qi, the word father was completely destroyed in her mind!
She pulled up the corner of her mouth and sneered, “Edward Ford, you really are the most despicable and shameless one I have ever seen!”
“You!”
Edward Ford looked pained, “Elena, why don’t you understand my pain, you don’t know, how much you mean to me, what am I going to do if even you have to leave me?”
Elena Bush looked at his sad face and instead of feeling compassion in her heart, she felt even more sarcastic.
The object in her hand followed, and she slowly turned and smiled at him, “And would you still be saying these things if it weren’t for this face of mine?”
At those words, the middle-aged man standing in front of her had a shudder in his pupils, as if something had crossed him quickly.
Elena Bush saw it for real and her smile deepened, “Sure enough, I guessed right, the only reason you’re trying to get me back to the Fords is because of my face, if I didn’t look like Joanna Lake, I’m afraid you wouldn’t even pay half an ounce of attention to me even if you were dragged down the street!”
“Elena, you’re mistaken.” Edward Ford tried anxiously to take her hand.
Elena Bush sidestepped it, “Misunderstanding?”
How could she have misunderstood?
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she was afraid she wouldn’t have really thought of the reason for it. Claudia Garcia’s affair had reminded him time and again that Edward Ford had long been mad, utterly mad, all these years, and he had always searched for Joanna Lake, he was convinced that Joanna Lake was not dead.
So ……
she was the best person for the job.
Elena Bush looked at him coldly, her smile not reaching the bottom of her eyes, “Edward Ford, what you have done, you should know better than anyone in your heart, besides, I don’t believe a word you say!”
Edward Ford was full of rhetoric and had nowhere to go.
Seeing that the fire was about to be reignited, the butler took Elena Bush by the hand and whispered, “Miss Elena, you’d better stop talking!”
Elena Bush broke his grip, “Mr. Butler, I know you may be doing me a favour, but it’s not in my nature to go against the grain.”
Hadn’t Edward Ford told her to stay put and behave herself?
She was not going to do what he wanted!
Edward Ford glared at her, his eyes almost falling out of his head.
The two men stared at each other, not giving way.
The housekeeper looked on, his brain sweating, but the maid brought the nourishing porridge in time for both of them to withdraw their fierce glares.
Elena Bush took it with a light smile and found a place for herself, sitting at the coffee table in the room and sipping the porridge slowly and deliberately, her movements sluggish and her eyes unmoved, as if the people around her did not exist.
Edward Ford was angry and annoyed, but he couldn’t do anything about it, so he had to stomp his feet and grit his teeth and leave in anger.
Before he left, his eyes fell on her belly like a snake’s snake’s snout, “Elena Bush, you’d better be ready for what’s to come!”
The little woman’s hand shook with the spoon, barely able to hold it.
There was a loud bang and the door, which had just been mercilessly pushed open, slammed heavily once more.
The room was large enough for her to move around freely, but it was all she could walk around in, and when you thought about it, it was pitifully small.
After half a bowl of porridge, she couldn’t drink any more, so she got up and poured it all down the toilet.
The night was cool and Edward Ford sat quietly in the large living room with the family doctor sitting in front of him.
He had taken the opportunity to look at Elena Bush’s condition when he had taken the dishes away and shook his head, “Mr. Ford, it’s not that I won’t do it, but the baby is too old and if we have to abort it, there are risks, both the baby and the adult could die, so… …”
Before he could finish his sentence, the sudden pressure on his head made him wipe the sweat from his head and continue, “So …… my advice is to let Miss Elena have the baby as it comes.”
“No way!” Edward Ford dismissed the reply without even thinking, “That is not our the Fords’ blood and does not deserve to stay!”
“But Miss Elena’s health is really not up to it, I’ve read the records you gave me, she’s been close to being unable to have children before because of the harsh contraceptive pill, she was able to stop it quickly, but there have been a few miscarriages, now if we were to rush into it, even if I were a doctor, I’d only be 20% sure. ”
He was a doctor.
Edward Ford’s face went cold again, “You mean there’s nothing that can be done except to have the baby?”
“Yes.” The doctor took a deep breath.
Edward Ford clenched his fists, “And what if I must have an abortion!”
“That ……”
The doctor gave Edward Ford a cautious look, then said frankly, “Mr. Ford if you really insist, then I hope I can be allowed to resign from my position as the Fords’ family doctor, and I don’t want the patients under my care to be in the status quo of two deaths in one body.”
Because he is a doctor, not an executioner!
Edward Ford was furious, “Even you’re coming against me on purpose, are you?”
“No.” The doctor shook his head, “I’m just being honest, it’s too cruel for me to accept.”
Cruel?
Edward Ford had a cold silence on his face, it would be the greatest cruelty to him if Elena Bush was allowed to have the baby! What right did Elena Bush have to have children for anyone else without his permission?
The cold look on Edward Ford’s face made both the doctor’s and the housekeeper’s hearts tremble with fear.
Not for anything, because they knew better than anyone that Edward Ford would do things that no one could have predicted if his innermost secrets were exposed.
“Mr Ford ……” the butler finally relented after a moment’s hesitation.
Edward Ford swept him away indifferently, “Say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush!”
“Miss Elena can have this child, but you can also make demands on her …… What a woman cares most about is a man and a child, and now her heart is all set on her husband, in that case, in exchange for this ……”
“What do you mean?”
The butler, seeing the situation, immediately came up to him and bent down to whisper in his ear.
After hearing this, Edward Ford’s eyes flashed with a brilliant light, and then he burst out laughing.
The doctor looked at them suspiciously, unsure of the emotions on their faces, but soon Edward Ford got up and said, “Go and get the lawyers to draw up the divorce papers!”
