You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) -
Chapter 519
"It's a hospital where women who have given birth recuperate at. There are professional nurses there. They will take good care of you."
Zoel explained seriously to her.
"There's no need for that. Marie is at home. She can take good care of me." Lucille felt that if she went to such a place even when she already had Marie, Marie would be upset.
"I have already made an appointment for you. You won't refuse my kindness, will you?"
He frowned, pretending to be pitiful
She stammered, "I..."
"It's fine, you can trust me. Recuperation is important for a woman. If you don't pay attention to it, you will have many illnesses in the future. Just go."
Seeing her hesitation, Zoel suddenly started to nag. He continued to tell her the importance of going to a confinement club.
After listening to him, Lucille finally nodded silently.
The next day, she was discharged from the hospital and went directly to the place where Zoel had introduced to her. It turned out to be the Maria Postpartum Care Center, which was advertised on television everyday.
At first, Lucille thought that coming here was the same as moving to another hospital.
When she entered the room, she found that such a place was completely different from what she had imagined.
Her room was a high-end flat that came with a living room and a bedroom. It was decorated luxuriously, and there was a huge TV in the living room. Looking out from the bedroom, one could see a small man- made lake not far away, and there were blossoming trees by the lake as well.
The fact that they were able to replace such a quiet place in such a prosperous area was enough to prove the financial ability of this club.
The nurses there seemed to have been informed of Lucille and Aurora's situation beforehand by Zoel, so they were not surprised by Aurora and her cleft lip. They still treated her like an ordinary child.
On her first night, after Lucille had dinner, a nurse took Aurora away. She used this opportunity to call Abby.
The day before, after Franklin stole Aurora's hair, Lucille had Abby help her replace out which hospital Franklin went to do the paternity test.
"Lucille, I was just about to call you."
Abby's voice was heard the moment the call connected, but her voice was a little blurry, as if she was eating as she talked.
"Well, did you replace out anything?"
"Yes, I did. I checked this afternoon, and I got the information. He did the test in Sacred Heart Hospital, but the result is not out yet. You still have to wait."
Abby used her own skills to track each hospital. From Franklin's status alone, she knew that he would not go to small hospitals.
Therefore, she quickly fixed her eyes on Sacred Heart Hospital. Sure enough, Franklin's files were there.
"There's no need to wait. The results... It has to be Franklin's child. There can't be anything wrong with it."
Perhaps she might have some doubts about Aurora's birth before, but ever since Aurora was born, she knew that she was Franklin's child the moment she saw her. Her eyes looked exactly like her father's.
"What do you want to do about it?" Abby naturally trusted her.
"When the results come out, I want you to tamper with it."
Lucille said it word by word. As soon as she spoke, Abby, who was on the other side of the phone, was stunned. "Change the results? Do you want Franklin to think that you cheated on him?"
"Yes."
"You... Forget it. Think about it carefully. Besides, the result is due in seven days, and you will have seven days to think about it. I'll keep an eye on it, but as soon the results are out, I'll change it." Abby wanted to try to persuade her, but she also thought that Franklin went too far with what he did before.
Ever since Lucille tried to kill herself last time, Abby thought that it would be best if she had nothing to do with Franklin.
If that was the case, Lucille's pain would at least be relatively simpler.
"Alright, thank you..."
She had made up her mind.
Ever since Franklin said that he was afraid she would use the child to fight for his inheritance...
Lucille's final hopes for him completely faded away.
Seven days.
Lucille had stayed in the confinement club for seven days. These seven days passed in an instant for her. Seven days later, Abby called as she said she would.
"Do you really want to change the results? The results are out. I'm looking at it, but I haven't printed it yet." "Okay, change it."
Lucille nodded.
"Are you sure? If that's the case, you and Franklin probably will..." Abby had always been a carefree and easy person, but she was someone who understood Lucille and Franklin's relationship the best. What men hated most was being cuckolded. Once she changed the results, it was very likely that Lucille's affair would be real.
They would really be finished.
"Change it..."
She had clearly made up her mind, but Lucille realized that every word was uttered with pain.
She only said these simple words, but it was as if she had used up all her strength...
"Alright, I understand. I'll change it for you." Abby already knew about Lucille's answer.
She raised her hand. Among the rest of the paternity test reports, she changed Franklin's report.
When she was done changing it, Abby said, "It's done. I've saved it. Also, I printed it as soon as I finished changing it. Franklin should receive it in a short while... Try to rest well, and don't think too much." "Alright, thank you..."
After she said that, Lucille hung up the phone. She clutched her quilt tightly and pulled it over her head. Although she was covered by the quilt, her fingers, which were holding the quilt, were shaking violently. A slight sobbing sound came from within the thick quilt.
The sun outside the window slowly set until it was finally submerged into the horizon.
The afterglow seeped into Lucille's window, which covered her room with golden light.
"There's a wall in your heart, but I found a window through it..."
Her melodious ringtone broke the silence of the room.
After Lucille talked to Abby on the phone, she hid in her blankets and slowly fell asleep until her phone's ringtone interrupted her.
She reached out her hand, unconsciously pressed the answer button, and put the phone close to her ear.
"Lucille! How dare you!"
Before she could speak, the voice of an angry man came from the other side of the phone!
"Franklin..."
She was originally in a daze, but the voice from the other side of the phone was like a clap of thunder. It awakened her in an instant.
She knew that Franklin must have gotten the paternity test report.
"Don't call me! I've really underestimated you. Since you usually looked gentle and quiet, I thought you would never do anything out of line. I didn't expect that. I really didn't expect it." Franklin's voice was as gentle as always, but this time, even though his voice was not loud, she could hear that he was trying hard to hold back.
He was enduring the anger suppressed in his heart!
The thing that a man hated the most was being cuckolded by a woman, wasn't it?
"I've told you a long time ago, haven't I?" She laid in bed and said so in a voice that not even herself could hear clearly.
Since she had already decided to cut off all ties with Franklin, wasn't this the best time to do so?
"How f*cking dare you!" He was really furious and asked, "Tell me, who is that man? Who made you do such a thing?"
