Free Web NovelChapter 276: Chapter 276: Unreasonable and Improper
Adrian Law’s eyes seemed to see through everything.
When the man stared at her, Rosalind White felt her legs go weak for a moment, and even doubted if Adrian Law had found out that it was her who did it.
But Rosalind was confident she hadn’t left any evidence, so she straightened her back even more, her beautiful watery eyes blinking with a hint of undisguised worry and concern.
"Adrian, the doctor is here, quickly take Mimi over, oh, poor little thing."
Rosalind shook her head slightly, her willow-leaf eyebrows knitted tightly, and the worried tone was so genuine that it could be mistaken for the real thing.
...
Adrian Law ignored her and instead carefully handed Mimi over to the veterinarian.
"Please take care of it."
Five words, heavy as a thousand pounds.
The veterinarian looked at Adrian with some surprise, as the Eldest Young Master Law was rumored to be cold and unsociable, but up close, though his expression was indeed frighteningly cold, his attitude was respectful towards them.
"Alright, Young Master Law, we will do our best, please try not to worry too much."
Before the words were finished, the medical staff hurried away.
...
Cecilia Vaughn watched Mimi disappear around the corner of the corridor, her heart aching with a bittersweet pain.
Adrian knew she was upset and reached out to brush away the droplets of water from Cecilia’s hair.
"Cecilia, standing here anxiously won’t help. You’ve been out in the rain all night, go take a hot shower and change your clothes first."
She was naturally a bit chilly in constitution, and the night’s turmoil would have exhausted anyone’s spirit.
"Alright, Adrian, you should also go freshen up."
Cecilia forced a smile; she knew the man was right. If she didn’t gather her strength, let alone find the culprit, she’d lack the energy even to treat Mimi.
Previously standing in the shadows, Cecilia now suddenly stepped onto the stairs, and under the porch light, Rosalind exclaimed as if discovering a new world.
"Oh my, sister-in-law, your neck!"
Rosalind’s voice was seemingly concerned as she scolded: "Sister-in-law, I know Mimi is important to you, but it’s ultimately just a cat. Look at how you’ve scratched yourself all over, what if you end up disfigured?"
Fiona Vaughn stood at the doorway, gloating with her arms crossed, watching the drama unfold.
"Exactly, sister, that cat already looked half-dead, who knows if it can make it through the night!"
"If the cat’s gone, you can always buy another one, why risk your life like this, it’s pouring rain at night, what if something happens to you, how would Mr. Law handle it?"
The seemingly caring words were all curses that Mimi wouldn’t survive the night...
How could a person’s heart be so malicious?
Cecilia Vaughn’s eyes instantly turned cold.
She stared indifferently at Fiona Vaughn.
"Fiona Vaughn, I advise you to choose your words carefully."
Cecilia paused, her gaze shifting down to Fiona’s slightly bulging belly.
"For the sake of the one you’re carrying, I won’t hit you today. People like you, who lack virtue in their words, will probably give birth to a freak!" freeweɓnovel.cøm
Cecilia’s eyes were purely black, her face was cold and expressionless, even though her whole body was in disarray, but the strong cold beauty was stunningly breathtaking.
"You—"
Fiona Vaughn was trembling with rage, clutching Tyson Law’s arm, tears instantly brimming.
"Tyson, look at her attitude! I was just kindly advising her to take care of herself, was I wrong? Aren’t people more important than cats?"
"She’s cursing our child to be a freak!"
Tyson looked hesitantly at Fiona, her face pitiful with tears, he should be feeling sorry, but in fact, he couldn’t quite accept that line about Mimi not surviving the night.
How could that not sound like a curse?
"Tyson, why aren’t you saying anything? Is it because you once liked her, that you wouldn’t care even if she curses our child—"
Fiona accused with teary eyes, her beautiful gaze filled with intense jealousy.
Tyson hesitated and glanced at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Cecilia, I know your cat’s situation makes you uncomfortable, but you shouldn’t vent your anger on an innocent life."
Cecilia Vaughn looked indifferently at Tyson Law’s face.
"Innocent anger vented? You should educate your dear wife to watch her words."
...
Cecilia Vaughn’s hair was now sticking to her, her coat drenched, she definitely didn’t align with conventional ideas of a refined woman, yet at this moment, Tyson Law found himself a bit entranced looking at Cecilia.
He had never seen Cecilia risk herself for anything before, seeing her covered in wounds, how could it not hurt?
To risk her life for a cat, even if it was her pet, could such a woman really have a terrible character?
Tyson’s heart was a mix of emotions, compared to Fiona who always spoke of having a kind heart; for some reason, looking at Cecilia’s cold yet disheveled face, he suddenly sensed Cecilia’s kindness.
Only this kind of kindness was so sharp, even when unwilling to admit, there was an arresting beauty to it.
At this moment, Tyson felt a bit ashamed and lowered his head.
"Cecilia, I apologize on behalf of Fiona."
Cecilia gave Tyson a somewhat surprised look, but ultimately she had no interest in whether he was sincere or not, nodding slightly, she bypassed him heading for the upstairs bathroom.
She was already exhausted and needed hot water to soothe herself a bit before going to see Mimi.
...
Seeing her leave, Fiona jumped up in anger, persistently sharp in her questioning.
"Tyson, why did you apologize to her on my behalf? Do you think I was wrong? Clearly, it’s her—"
"Enough!"
Tyson Law gave Fiona a hard glare, her angry expression stiffened for half a second, immediately turning into a pitiful grievance.
"Tyson, how can you be so harsh on me..."
Fiona clutched her stomach, crying out.
"Oh, our poor child, not yet born, and already dad sides with outsiders, it’s mommy’s fault for failing to occupy daddy’s heart, oh-oh-oh..."
Hearing her tearful accusations, Tyson felt a piercing headache, for a moment he suddenly saw in Fiona the shadow of her mother, Florence Warner.
Interestingly, he never used to think this way, but at this moment, Fiona made him feel annoyed.
Did pregnancy change a person so much?
...
Adrian Law coldly glanced at Tyson and Fiona, having no time for their drama.
Unlike Cecilia, he washed quickly, changing his clothes in nearly ten minutes.
Just as he reached the door, a slender figure approached, her voice gentle like water.
"Adrian, you’re done? Here, you were in the rain so long, this is ginger tea I specially made for you, to ward off the cold."
