“Why did you bring her here?” Hubert seemed too disdainful to spare a glance for Natalie, only stopping for a brief moment before turning his head coldly to Hannah. Hannah ignored Hubert and directly sat down next to Britney. “Britney, how are you feeling? Is your stomach still hurting?” Upon hearing Hannah’s words, Britney’s pale face immediately twisted in sorrow as she sobbed pitifully. “Hugh, our child is gone… It’s gone…” Hubert immediately bent down, pulling the frail woman into his arms and softly comforting her. “Don’t be afraid, we’ll have another child. Just take care of yourself first…” When Madeline heard Britney crying about the lost child, the fire inside her flared up again. She grabbed Natalie, kicked her between the legs, and sent her crashing to her knees in front of the hospital bed. Natalie’s arms trembled as she struggled to support herself, desperately trying not to collapse. “Natalie, apologize to Britney right now! If you hadn’t pushed her into the water, my grandson wouldn’t be dead! You murderer! If it weren’t for Mr. Kevin being foolish and favoring you, you’d already be in jail for killing that child!” “Hah!” Natalie scoffed, curling her lips. “So this is the Lawson family’s rule? The wife kneels to the mistress?” Upon hearing Natalie call her a mistress, Britney immediately grasped Hubert’s hand and cried in protest, “Hugh, I’m not a mistress, you know I’m not… I should never have woken up, I should have just stayed a vegetable…” The words “vegetable” felt like needles to Hubert’s heart. If it hadn’t been for him, Britney wouldn’t have had the accident, and she wouldn’t have spent the last two years in bed. “Natalie, shut up!” Hubert’s eyes seemed to hold countless sharp knives aimed at her. “Britney just woke up six months ago, her health is fragile. You push her into the water, now she’s lost the child, and the doctor just said it will be hard for her to get pregnant again. She’s only just stabilized, and you come to provoke her… You wicked woman, get out!” No matter what happened, Hubert had always been composed and dignified, but today, seeing him lose control was the first time Natalie had witnessed such a side of him. “You b*tch, why don’t you just die?” Madeline stormed forward and slapped Natalie twice across the face. “Has Hubert ever treated you badly? He’s only been with a few women outside. You’ve had the position of the Lawson family’s young lady, and the family’s supported you for two years. Can’t you be more magnanimous?” Natalie wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, sneering. “Then why do you go out there and grab those women by the hair, slap them in the face? Isn’t your husband just playing with a few women?” “You sl*t, shut up!” Madeline came at her again, grabbing her hair and slamming her head against the corner of a table. With a thud, blood began to pour from Natalie’s forehead. “Mom!” Hubert’s face turned colder still. “Dylan, take Mrs. Lawson home!” Britney noticed that Hubert seemed to hesitate at seeing Natalie injured, and a sense of wariness immediately rose in her heart. She had to admit, Natalie was indeed a beauty. Her eyes were like the morning stars, her lips like blossoming peaches, her nose delicate and cute, and her skin so fair it seemed as if water could be squeezed from it. The term “beautiful bone structure” must have referred to someone like Natalie, someone whose natural allure radiated from the inside out. Even in her disheveled state, Natalie was still a pearl covered in dust. Britney knew her own plastic-surgery-enhanced face could never compare to Natalie’s. She had to use the Lawson family’s hatred for Natalie right now to get her out of the family once and for all, ensuring there would be no future problems. “Wait!”
