“I’ll feed Dani. It’s a mere trifle.”
At the sight of Ryan’s firm gaze, Mireya snorted. ” You’ll know it when tomorrow morning comes. But if you don’t get some good sleep, how are you going to work tomorrow?”
“My mom said she’d look after Dani with Aunty Loretta tomorrow. Aunty Wendy will also be coming over tomorrow…”
Although Ryan and Rodney had a falling-out, Wendy was still Dani’s grandmother.
Mireya went quiet for a while before she said, “Ryan, you shouldn’t let Aunty Wendy take Dani back to the Snow family at this time. I’m not worried about Aunty Wendy, considering she always keeps her word. However, I’m afraid that Rodney will take me as a wicked person and think that I don’t deserve to be Dani’s mother because of this matter. It will be a problem if he fights for Dani’s custody.”
“Mireya…”
Ryan suddenly opened his mouth and furrowed his attractive brows. Then, he bit his tongue. ” I think there’s something I need to tell you. Sarah has already been rescued. The doctor said that her legs are paralyzed for sure. As for her hands… She should be able to use them to eat after two years of treatment, but it’s impossible for her to go out and work. Rodney is extremely guilty about her condition in the hospital…”
“He has been feeling guilty since a while back now, ” Mireya said coolly. “I guess he’ll be guiltier in the future. He might even marry her.”
Other people might look down on Sarah, but Rodney would not. Rodney was a very stubborn person.
“There’s one more thing…” Ryan whispered, ” When the doctor saved Sarah, he realized that she had a miscarriage last night. Especially since she’s been injured and has lost a lot of blood, she’ll have difficulty getting pregnant again. I heard the baby was only half a month old.”
Mireya was stunned. It was as though a bolt of lightning had struck her. Only after a while did she mumble, “Was it Rodney’s child?”
“I presume so.” Ryan presumed. “After all, Rodney wasn’t mad after he learned about it. He even stayed there to keep a closer watch on her.”
Mireya forgot to react.
At that moment, she was deeply disgusted. It had only been a while since she split with Rodney, yet Sarah was already pregnant for over half a month.
Previously, Rodney claimed that he did not do it with Sarah and that he was only sympathetic and guilty toward her.
He claimed that he would never be romantically involved with her.
Now, they even had a child together.
Oh well. It made Mireya’s marriage look even more like a joke now.
Fortunately, she did not believe Rodney and insisted on divorcing him.
Despite knowing that she was feeling bitter, Ryan said, “Based on Rodney’s character, he’s surely under the impression that you destroyed Sarah and killed her child. He must be overwhelmed with so much guilt that he might want to marry her.
Knowing Sarah, I’m sure she will go all out to take revenge against you, considering her state. She might not be able to keep Rodney by her side using the child, but she might incite him to snatch yours.”
Mireya’s heart did a flip.
She had never thought of this. However, Ryan’s words made her realize that there was such a possibility.
She began to panic, and she choked. “Ryan, I… I don’t want to return to The Lodge to recuperate. Dani is my everything. I can’t lose her…”
“Don’t panic. I’m just telling you my speculation. I’ll help you protect Dani. I will not let anyone snatch her away.” Ryan comforted Mireya softly,” I’ve told tales to my parents regarding this issue. Given that they’re clever people, they know it’s best to keep the child by your side.”
“Thank you, Ryan. If it weren’t for you… I wouldn’t have been able to cope with this situation.” Helpless, Mireya wiped her tears off. What she said was true. If it had not been for Ryan, she would have messed everything up.
“Mireya, I didn’t mean to worry you by telling you all these. I’m just guessing that Rodney might come and negotiate with you, and I hope you’ll be mentally prepared for it.”
Ryan soothed her with a gentle voice. “Go to sleep soon, and don’t overthink things. With me around, no scheme can ever work.”
“Mm.” Mireya’s tears turned into laughter.
After putting down her phone, she still felt rather absent-minded.
When Cate came back, she asked, “Why are your eyes red? Did you cry when I was out?”
Mireya then briefly told her what Ryan said.
Cate’s expression was grave. “That’s possible. Now, let’s wait and see what Sarah will tell Rodney when she wakes up.”
Sarah woke up the next day after her operation.
She woke up with a start and was still in shock after that.
Only when she saw Rodney did she begin to bawl. ” Rodney, why are you so late…”
Sarah’s body jerked. All of a sudden, she realized that her limbs had no strength. At the thought of what happened that night, she sank into utter despair.
She was disabled. She was paralyzed.
Her face was disfigured too.
“I’m sorry, Sarah.” At the sight of Sarah’s pale face, Rodney was heartbroken and deeply embarrassed. “
It’s all my fault for not getting there in time. I really didn’t expect Mireya to be so cruel. I’m really, really sorry. I’ll bear the responsibility…”
He grabbed hold of her hands with his reddened eyes.
Sarah froze. “F—Mireya?”
“Didn’t you know it was her?” Rodney was a little surprised.
Sarah might be disabled, but she was of sound mind.
When she recalled the masked woman and her words, she thought that the woman was Charity.
However, she did not think it was Charity as she was sure that Charity was dead.
The woman was neither Cate nor Mireya either. Mireya, in particular, would not be able to carry out such a cruel act.
Somehow, Rodney was sure that it was Mireya’s doing. Nevertheless, this was good news to Sarah. With her current state, she could only live well by taking advantage of Rodney’s guilt.
She did not even dare leave Rodney because the woman behind the incident was too terrifying.
She had a sinking feeling that the woman would not let her off, considering that she was still alive.
“So it was Mireya. No wonder…” Sarah curled up in fear and wept. “I couldn’t make out the person at that time. The place was very dark, and the woman was wearing a mask all the time. It was terrifying. She threw me into a very dirty tank, and then I fainted. When I woke up again, she kept torturing me, claiming that I was a mistress who ruined other people’s families. She destroyed my face and even broke my muscles and tendons. She said that men would be disgusted by my current appearance…
Rodney, I’m scared. Just let me die. I feel miserable living like this.”
“Don’t be scared, Sarah. I’m here.”
Her words gave Rodney a fright but made him even more confident that it was Mireya’s deed.
“Sarah, it all started because of me.” Rodney hugged Sarah, feeling heartbroken.
“I shouldn’t have appeared. I don’t blame you. I don’t. ” Sarah wrapped her hands around his neck while weeping. “Rodney, was it really Mireya? I can’t believe it.”
“It should be her.” Rodney’s eyes revealed a sense of deep hatred. “When I was there, the mask you mentioned was left beside her, and she didn’t deny it either.”
“Why? Why did she do that to me? I’ve never thought of ruining her marriage either.” Frustrated, Sarah broke into tears.
Rodney was filled with mixed feelings. “Sarah, when the doctor saved you yesterday, he said that you lost a half-a-month-old baby from a miscarriage…”
“Was I pregnant?” Sarah was stunned. A look of disbelief washed over her face.
“Mm. ” Rodney nodded solemnly. “But it’s gone. Sarah, tell me whose child it was… I was drunk that day. Did we… do It?”
Sarah caressed her belly. She did not weep, but her tears rolled down uncontrollably. “Rodney, I didn’t plan to tell you this, but that night was a dream come true for me. I thought I’d be content with the memories I had of that night when I’m abroad.
Also, I knew you couldn’t bear to part with Mireya, and I wanted to see you happy. Ah, my child. My poor child…”
She was indeed heartbroken.
After all, she had planned to use the child as a bargaining chip to enter the Snow family in the future.
Now that she had lost the child, she had no choice but to come up with another way.
