Chapter 513 The Father Of The Child

After wrapping up the bridal photo shoot with Sophia, Lenora quickly dove back into her other photography

assignments. Despite her busy schedule, she managed to find tto visit Harrietta in the hospital twice after

work. She sat on the other side of the hospital bed, watching as the nurse changed Harrietta's dressings.

"The wound is healing quite well. We should be able to have the stitches removed tomorrow," said the nurse.

Harrietta lifted her young face and asked, "Can | leave the hospital after the stitches are removed?"

"es."

"Yay!" Harrietta turned to look at Lenora, dancing with joy.

After dinner, Lenora led Harrietta for a walk downstairs.

Suddenly Harrietta let out a sigh.

Upon hearing the sound, Lenora looked down and saw Harrietta with a troubled expression, appearing like a

miniature adult.

Lenora couldn't help but chuckle, asking, "What's wrong? Why the sigh?"

Harrietta glanced up at her, saying, "Aunt Lenora, my uncle cto visitthis morning."

Upon hearing that, Lenora immediately understood that Isla's brother had visited Harriette. Members of the

Wilson family have arrived in Jacaster. Are they here to seek out Matthew? Are they hoping to get Isla out earlier?

"What did he say to you that has you so distressed?" Lenora asked.

"He gavea lot of money and askedwho | wanted to be with in the future. Of course, | said | wanted to be

with Uncle Zachary. He then said that once Ms. Isla gets released from the police station, they will send her away.

He toldshe wouldn't botheragain." With a raised eyebrow, Lenora asked, "Isn't that just perfect?"

It seemed she had unfairly judged him with a petty mind.

Evidently, Isla's brother also disapproved of Isla's actions.

Harrietta twiddled her index finger. "Yes... However, initially, | thought he cto plead on behalf of Ms. Isla, so |

wasn't very pleasant toward him..."

Lenora chuckled. "Don't worry. He surely won't hold it against you. If he's still in Jacaster when you get

discharged, just invite him to dinner. Don't equate him with Ms. Isla."

"Okay."

Harrietta nodded, glancing at Lenora before gently touching her belly. "Aunt Lenora, why is the little one so

small..."

That faint curve was barely discernible, revealing nothing.

"Hattie, you were just as small at the beginning. Just wait a bit longer, and he will grow up."

"When will he be born?"

"We still have six months left."

"That's still a long tto go."

The two of them strolled and chatted at the stime.

Right then, Lenora caught sight of a familiar face. "Ms. Schmidt? Mr. Schmidt?"

Not far off, Madison, dressed in a hospital gown, was visibly pale. Assisted by Arnold, she was slowly moving

around.

Arnold was wearing a troubled expression, uttering something under his breath.

Upon hearing the sound, both father and daughter simultaneously looked up.

Lenora noticed Madison's difficulty in moving and quickly walked over with Harrietta. "Ms. Schmidt, have you

been hospitalized? Are you all right?"

Arnold wore a look of helplessness, heaved a deep sigh, yet said nothing.

Madison tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "It's not a serious illness, Ms. Wilkin. Don't worry."

Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, Lenora didn't press her for more information. "As long as you're okay,

that's all that matters."

"Ms. Wilkin, we're heading back now."

“All right."

Once they were at a safe distance, Arnold couldn't help but utter with frustration, "What on earth are you

planning?"

Arnold was a traditional and honest man. As his daughter grew older, he seldom interfered with her personal

affairs. Despite living under the sroof, he was completely oblivious to the fact that Madison was pregnant.

When Madison suddenly went into premature labor, Arnold felt as though he had been struck by a thunderous

bolt, leaving him scorched on the outside but tender within.

At that point, there was no use in saying anything anymore.

Just as Arnold was anxiously waiting outside the operating room for news of his grandson, another bolt from the

blue struck.

Madison had a miscarriage.

Arnold wasn't bothered by it.

After all, he didn't have much affection for his not-yet-familiar grandson. He thought it wouldn't be such a bad

thing if the child were gone.

It also saved Madison from the hardship of raising a child alone. Besides, it would have made it difficult for her to

find a partner in the future.

However, he knew Madison would undoubtedly be heartbroken for a while.

Upon waking, Madison was informed of the news, leaving her in a state of bewilderment for a while. However,

she had no choice but to accept the outcome. Perhaps even the heavens believed that child shouldn't have

existed.

In other words, she didn't mind it that much. After all, it was an unplanned pregnancy.

Since she already had a miscarriage, she would immediately get her life back once her health was restored.

Yet, after all that anticipation, the sudden letdown was somewhat hard to bear.

Madison's lips moved slightly when she heard Arnold's words, but she said nothing in response.

Unable to contain himself, Arnold asked again, "Tellsomething. Who was the child's father?"

It was utterly unreasonable that Madison had endured such hardships while the man involved remained blissfully

ignorant, comfortably living his best life.

Madison gently shook her head, murmuring, "I don't know."

"At this point, don't keep secrets fromanymore."

"| really don't know..."

"Why are you still protecting him?"

Madison didn't know how to respond to that because she genuinely had no idea.

Even if she knew, she only had herself to blame.

For the sake of money, she gave up the chance to call the police.

From the expressions of Madison and Arnold, Lenora inferred that Madison's illness could be a rather private

matter that was not suitable to be disclosed to outsiders.

However, since Madison had said that there was no major issue, Lenora stopped worrying.

She spent stout with Harrietta before they returned to the ward. When Miranda cto keep vigil for

the night, Lenora left.

Once she had her stitches removed, Harrietta hurried off to the restroom.

Lenora went after her, only to see the young girl standing on a stool in front of the water basin, looking at herself

in the mirror.

Upon seeing Lenora enter through the mirror, Harrietta touched her forehead where the nurse had applied iodine

and asked with a hint of vanity, "Aunt Lenora, will this leave a scar?"

"Absolutely not." Lenora approached,

carefully inspecting her injury as she climbed up.."The mark is faint, so it will surely fade in a few years. Even if it

doesn't, you can always cover it with a fringe. It won't affect your beauty in the slightest, Hattie!"

"lI want to get a haircut right now."

"We'll do that after we leave the hospital."

“All right!"

The two emerged, one after the other, from the restroom. Zachary looked at Lenora and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lenora touched her own forehead before pointing at Harrietta without uttering a word.

"Uncle Zachary, I'm going to get a haircut. | want a fringe."

Zachary understood and, with a smile, gently patted Harrietta's head. "All right. | will take you for a haircut, and

after that, we'll go for a big meal. How does that sound?" "Okay!"

"What would you like to eat, Hattie?"

Harrietta tilted her head in thought before answering, "KFC."

After completing the discharge procedures, Harrietta left the

hospital happily while holding Lenora and Zachary's hands. Life s truly better without Ms. Isla around. | hope she

never appears again in the future. Never again!

Upon leaving the hospital, Zachary instructed his driver to head to a certain shopping mall.

Within the shopping mall, there was an upscale hair salon, as well as a KFC.

On the road, Zachary answered a phone call. "Hello, Uncle Nathan. Really? Congratulations! Sure. Nora and I will

definitely be there. Okay."

After he hung up the phone, Lenora asked, "Was that a call from Uncle Nathan? What's the matter?"

"Mindy has just given birth to a baby boy. He's invited us to the first month party next month."

Upon hearing the news, Lenora was taken aback. "Has she given birth already? That fast?"

She knew about Mindy's pregnancy, but considering the timeline, she wasn't supposed to give birth to the baby

just yet.

"Something happened, and the baby cprematurely. Fortunately, the child is all right."

“Oh...” Lenora nodded, chuckling.

"Aunt Griselda used to always nag Stanley about getting married and having a family of his own. Now, he's

managed to accomplish it all in a year." en
