Female Novel
Chapter 372
A loud slap echoed across the room.
Olivia had slammed her palm on the desk.
“Impossible. I'll tell you this now, Justin. I will never accept that b*stard as a member of the Xuerebfamily, much less that b*tch as my daughter-in-law.”
Justin merely replied, “You can leave now.”
Sliding her gaze to the corner of her eyes, she saw Zephyr standing by the door. He was like the sparkthat sent Olivia's rage over the edge.
She strode over to the child and grabbed his neck. Killing intent flared in her eyes as she choked theboy.
My family still needs to secure themselves in the political world with the Fletcher family's help. I won'tallow Veronique and her child to destroy the engagement between the Xuereb family and the Fletcherfamily.
Veronique was coming up the stairs when she saw Olivia choking Zephyr.
A wave of terror engulfed her, and she rushed toward them without a second thought.
“Let go! Zephyr can't take any more abuse! Let go of him!”
Olivia's rage flared. She shoved Veronique when she released her grip on Zephyr's neck.
Veronique had just returned from the press conference, so she was still in high heels. With a shovefrom Olivia, she lost her balance and toppled backward.
Justin raced toward her and hurriedly grabbed her. However, he could only grasp onto the end of hersleeve and watch as Veronique's back hit the floor with a loud thud.
The next second, her white skirt was drenched in blood. Red liquid soaked the fabric. It was horrifying.
Justin's pupils constricted at the nightmarish scene. He raised his hand, ready to slap Olivia, but hisrationale snapped back in place. Gaining back control, he bent down and carried Olivia to theemergency room.
“Zephyr, call Bailey immediately and have her come over.”
Zephyr glared at Olivia with a burning rage. His teeth clamped down on her arm and tore off a piece offlesh.
“Argh!”
A shrill scream sliced through the room.
Christopher dashed over to see his wife shrieking as she held her bloody arm tight to her chest.
He turned his gaze to his grandson and saw the hatred in Zephyr's eyes. His heart sank.
“Zep—”
Before he could get the whole word out of his mouth, Zephyr had run away.
Zephyr reached for the phone in his pocket as he ran.
Artemis should be glad that Zephyr called at just the right moment.
He would've been depressed if the kid had called ten minutes earlier.
“Get up quick! Zephyr called me earlier, saying Olivia pushed Vero. Now, Vero is bleeding profuselyafter a bad fall. The fertilized ovum had only been implanted into her body not long ago, yet she fellterribly. I fear—”
As she spoke, Artemis had already brought their clothes over.
“Stop talking and start changing. I'm sending you to the medical base.”
In the end, Veronique still lost the baby in her belly.
Not only did she lose the baby, but her womb had suffered a second injury, so Bailey suggested sheundergo a hysterectomy.
Veronique had just woken up from her sleep when she heard Bailey's suggestion. She shook her headfuriously.
“No, Bay. I can't remove my womb. How can I have another baby if I don't have my womb? If I can't
have a baby, what will happen to Zephyr? Who will save him?”
Bailey looked at Justin, who stood at the end of the bed. “She has already lost her rationale, so herwords don't count. You decide. If she doesn't remove her womb, it might turn cancerous. Think thingsthrough.”
Justin was a renowned doctor. He knew the horrible consequences of leaving a heavily damagedwomb in the body.
Looking at the pallor on Veronique's face, he came to her side and clasped her hand.
Veronique saw the look in his eyes and panicked. She squeezed his arm with all her might and sobbed,“Justin, you're not that cruel, right? You won't just watch as Zephyr await his death, right?”
Justin caressed her face. His touch was lingering and kind. “I can't watch you slowly walk to your deathtoo. There'll be another way, Vero. If things don't work out, we can hire someone. I won't let you takethat risk.”
“No!” Veronique was adamant. “I know my body. Give me another year. After I deliver a child to treatZephyr, you can remove my womb. Please!”
Justin pressed his lips into a thin line. He was about to retort when Bailey shook her head at him. Sheturned to Veronique and said, “Fine. We won't remove your womb. You rest, and we'll talk after yourbody gets a bit better.”
Bill sat on a long bench outside the emergency room, fuming.
Yvonne glared at Olivia with tears threatening to fall from her eyes. “My sister traveled around theentire world to look for ways to save Zephyr. She had no choice but to try for a test-tube baby. Then, incame you, and with a light shove, you not only killed her baby, you even shattered Zephyr's hope.”
Rage still simmered within Olivia. Her temper flared when a woman younger than her scolded her.
“No one asked her to give birth to that b*stard anyway! She wouldn't have had this many problems ifshe didn't give birth in the first place.”
Fury stirred within Yvonne at Olivia's crude remark. She was about to tear Olivia a new one when Billgrabbed her hand. He looked at Olivia and said, “The Revelle family has two daughters. My elderdaughter married into royalty. Thus my younger daughter must find a husband willing to live with us. Ifyour son is unwilling, I'll advise my daughter to divorce him.”
A fresh swell of rage rose in Olivia at his cruel words.
What is this old bat talking about? Is he saying Justin'll be living with the Revelle family if he agrees?Even the Fletcher family didn't dare to make such an unreasonable request. How dare he!
“Don't worry. Even if my son never marries, he will never live with the Revelle family.” novelbin
Olivia didn't know she would be eating her words soon after.
After coming out of the emergency room, Justin said, “Veronique is my wife. I will never separate fromher in any way unless she passes away.”
Olivia fainted from his words instantly.
Justin ignored her and turned to Christopher. “She's still my mother, so I'll let the matter where shecaused Vero to miscarry slide this once. Please respect my wife and son. If anything happens to bothof them, I won't continue living, and the four of us will reunite in heaven.”
Christopher sighed.
My wife has been headstrong her whole life. She can't give up on her brothers and is adamant aboutsacrificing her son's marriage to pave the way for her family. Even though I disagree with her methods,we've been married for decades; I can't just divorce her.
“I'll talk to Olivia. I'm upset over Veronique's miscarriage too, so when she gets better, I'll come over toapologize to her.”
After watching Christopher and Olivia leave, Bill asked, “Have you thought about an alternative plan?Now that you had a falling out with the Fletcher family, they will likely not donate the bone marrowanymore. What are you going to do about Zephyr?”
Before Justin could say anything, Bailey chimed in as she walked over, “I'll think of a way to get theFletcher family to donate the bone marrow. Rest assured.”
It looks like I still have to beg Raiden at the end of the day.
