Chapter 98 Entice Her Home

• My inability to have children had always been my soft underbelly. While my mother-in-law used to criticize me thus, I had always suffered the humiliation and kept mum because of Carson. Thus, she hadn’t realized how hurtful her words were. Since she’s saying such a thing, it’s clear as day that Carson didn’t tell her about me being ‘pregnant’. Looks like it wasn’t him who instigated this show today in the ward here, but Jolene. This b*tch is taking a mile when she’s been given an inch! No matter, for I won’t possibly relinquish this opportunity to kick up a fuss.
• My expression darkened, and my voice turned biting. “Who said I’m barren? Wasn’t I pregnant back then? If it weren’t for the miscarriage, the child would’ve already been several years old.” My mother-in-law had never seen me lose my temper, so she was noticeably startled. I then stood up in a fit of pique. “Also, it’s unconscionable to bring up a person’s sore spot before someone else, Mom! Do you know how grief-stricken I am when you say such a thing? Furthermore, medical technology is very advanced now, so I may be cured yet!”
• Taken aback by my fit of fury, Jolene instantly tried smoothing things over. “Lily, that’s not what Mrs. Boyer meant, so don’t be angry.” As she spoke, she winked at my mother-in-law, signaling her to apologize to me.
