Female Novel
Chapter 951
Knowing that I couldn’t argue against it, I let him have his way. As we made our way down the stairs, I
said, “Oh, right. I forgot to tell you that Hannah found her Mr. Right and is going to get married soon.”
He hummed in response. After walking into the garage, he opened the car door for me. “Does John
know about it?”
I shook my head. “I’m not sure, but I support Hannah’s decision. A woman’s youth doesn’t last for many
years. She gave it all to John, but in the end, her sacrifice was in vain. It’s time for her to move on.”
He cast me a sideways glance, fastening my seatbelt for me. I didn’t quite like the scent in the car, but
it was too chilly to roll down the window, so I bowed my head and looked for perfume in his car.
“I thought you would defend your brother,” he commented indifferently.
I let out a snort. “I told him to cherish her, or else he might lose her. He brought this upon himself, so he
can’t blame anyone else but himself. It’s pointless to advise someone like him.”
Unable to find any perfume in the car, I let out an exasperated sigh, planning to buy a bottle of perfume
and put it in the car.
As he started the car, he saw my forehead crease and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s an odd smell in your car and I don’t like it.” While speaking, I noticed the bouquet of roses on
the backseat. My brows drew together. Was it the smell of the roses? But it wasn’t purely floral scent.
There was a whiff of female fragrance.
He seemed to have caught it too. With his brows furrowed, he asked, “I guess I’ll have to get flowers
myself next time.”
I tilted my head and glanced at him. “Who did you buy this bunch of flowers for?”novelbin
The man raised a brow at me. “I bought it for you.”
Pressing my lips together, I said nothing. The car headed toward the hospital. Summer had received a
few treatments. Due to the pain, she started resisting it.
Therefore, when the doctor asked her to go into the operation theatre, she couldn’t stop sobbing.
Later, Jared came with two men trailing behind him. It had been nearly a year since I last saw him. The
man was dressed in a pale blue shirt. His usual neatly styled hair was replaced by a buzz cut. His skin
became tanned, but his dark eyes appeared more resolute now. The moment he met us, his gaze fell
on Summer. His eye turned red-rimmed at the sight of the girl who was now as thin as a rake.
Summer was crying her eyes out, protesting against the pain she knew she was about to go through. In
the meantime, Jared seemed to have something to say as he stared at her. In the end, he said nothing,
but turned to look at the doctor instead. “Whatever the checkup, hurry up and finish it.”
A few doctors followed him and carried out various medical check-ups for Summer. Afterward, Joe
came over together with Rebecca. However, judging from their awkward interactions, they probably
had a fight.
Jared was still doing the checkup, while Ashton and Joe went away for a discussion.
The feelings Cameron and Zachary felt toward Rebecca were rather strange. Their resentment was
complicated, yet excusable. In the beginning, the couple gave her all their love and care just to make
amends to her. Nonetheless, they caused me some irreversible hurt and agony.
Though they did that willingly, Rebecca was the one who sowed discord between me and my parents
first. Thus, there was no way to judge the situation accurately.
As a result, Cameron and Zachary hadn’t disowned her publicly. That’s why they felt awkward
whenever they met her.
Perhaps Rebecca felt the same way as well. The mixed feelings that welled up in her heart were
indescribable.
Unable to stand the awkwardness, she walked out of the ward and sat in the lounge in the corridor. I
stood up, followed the woman, and sat by her side.
Giving me a side-eye, she said impassively, “Ash gets into trouble whenever he’s with you. You’re such
a jinx.”
I couldn’t care less about her ridicule. “I thought you’ve figured out that you’ll never be able to drive a
wedge between me and Ashton. You’re still living in your own bubble,” I replied in a flat tone.
“You!” She shot daggers at me with much displeasure. “Why are you so proud of yourself? Do you think
that you’re that great? Ash is definitely going to dump you one day.”
“I’m pregnant.” Looking at her ferocious face, I announced calmly with a half-smile. “Ashton and I are
getting closer to each other. We’re fated to stay together for the rest of our lives.”
Her expression fell at my words. Suddenly, I felt a twinge of sympathy for her. The woman had been
living like a photocopy of someone else, not knowing what she herself actually wanted.
“So what if you’re pregnant? Once I show up, your relationship with him will crumble. Ash won’t
abandon or stop loving me. Scarlett, don’t you ever think that you’ll be able to live a peaceful life.”
Staring at her, I was neither furious nor scornful, saying calmly, “Rebecca, have your ever pondered
what you really want in life?”
The woman was stunned for a second. Then, she glowered at me and shouted, “That’s none of your
business!”
