Chapter 5: Chapter Five: Will Definitely Not Let Off Easily

As a gold medal lawyer in the legal profession, Hannah Pope is almost synonymous with victory. Since she entered this circle, she has never lost a case, and people who beg her to sue have almost lined up to go abroad.

It was Vanessa Galsworthy who repeatedly refused her enthusiastic invitation.

Vanessa Galsworthy also knew that Hannah Pope cared about her and wanted to fight for her.

But how could the He family be shaken by a lawsuit? If it really came to that, with He Edmund's vindictive character, he definitely wouldn't let Hannah Pope off easily.

However, just as she was about to speak, a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen made her break out in a cold sweat!

"Vanessa Galsworthy? What's wrong with you?!"

The urgent voice of Hannah Pope rang in her ears, but Vanessa Galsworthy saw blackness before her eyes and fainted straight away!

When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital.

"How do you feel?"

Hannah Pope had been by Vanessa Galsworthy's side all along. Seeing her open her eyes, she immediately poured a cup of hot water and handed it over.

"Okay."

Vanessa Galsworthy took a few sips, and her dry, cracked lips were moisturized, red like fruits waiting to be picked.

"I told you you should rest well in the hospital. After surgery, the doctor said it's not good to have too much emotional fluctuation."

Looking at the woman's resentful yet worried eyes, Vanessa Galsworthy's sour heart felt like it was being gently comforted, warm and cozy.

"It won't happen again."

All the past, at the moment she resolutely signed her name on the divorce agreement, should have been put down.

"That's good."

Hannah Pope breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something, winking mischievously at Vanessa Galsworthy.

"The doctor also said that to recover well after surgery, a good mood is essential!"

"Besides, we haven't celebrated your escape from death for so many days. Wait, I'll arrange it for you right away, guaranteed to be a big surprise!"

The woman's voice grew more and more distant, and finally even ran out of the ward in a flash.

Vanessa Galsworthy lay in bed for a while without seeing Hannah Pope return, feeling restless, and prepared to go outside for some fresh air.

However, just as she passed the corner, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Edmund? Are you here to see Albert Ricardo?"

Vanessa Galsworthy's heart sank, suddenly having a bad feeling.

"Why aren't you in the ward with Albert Ricardo?"

Sure enough, the next second, the man's deep, magnetic voice came.

Unlike his cold impatience when facing her, the man's tone was gentle, despite the slight abnormality in his voice, it was still hard to cover up the familiarity between the two. Edmund Montgomery.

Vanessa Galsworthy clenched the clothes in front of her chest.

For a moment, she almost didn't have the courage to listen anymore.

The scenes from a few days ago were vividly remembered, and she, like a despicable peeping tom, hid in the corner, watching her husband show warmth and care to others.

Even being called "Dad" by someone else's child.

The disordered footsteps around the corner did not catch Edmund Montgomery's attention. He looked at the suddenly appearing Luo Yuemei with an unnatural expression on his stern face.

... In fact, he wasn't here to see Luo Yuemei and her son.

Vanessa Galsworthy's words from that day still echoed in his ears.

Although he had no good feelings for this woman, Vanessa Galsworthy had just lost her child after all.

So Edmund Montgomery could understand all the woman's "abnormalities" that day, even her repeated mentions of divorce, which he took as a momentary outburst.

But he never expected that Vanessa Galsworthy would actually move out.

Although Vanessa Galsworthy had very few things, Edmund Montgomery still felt a bit strange, as if the entire villa had become empty.

He came to the hospital because he saw Vanessa Galsworthy fainting at the door through the home surveillance.

He wasn't suddenly feeling charitable, but...

His fingertips rubbed the diamond ring on his ring finger, the dazzling diamond clearly reflected in the man's increasingly dark and deep pupils.

"Edmund?"

Luo Yuemei stepped forward to grab the man's hand, "Just now, Chichi was saying he missed you, crying and fussing to see you, since you're here..."

"I'm sorry, I have other things to attend to."

Edmund Montgomery pulled back his arm, and Luo Yuemei's expression stiffened:

"What's so urgent?"

"Vanessa Galsworthy is also in this hospital, I'll go see her."

"Oh, then go see Miss Nan, I'll take care of Chichi, don't worry about him."

Luo Yuemei hid the jealousy in her eyes until Edmund Montgomery turned away and left, then she stomped her foot in frustration.

What's going on? Edmund Montgomery has always hated Vanessa Galsworthy, why is he suddenly concerned about her health?

That bitch! What kind of trick did she use?!

She angrily wanted to follow and see what was going on, but just as she walked a few steps, a woman with elegant and luxurious demeanor blocked her way, scrutinizing her from head to toe.

"Is it you who's been harassing my son?"

"Who are you?"

Luo Yuemei instinctively frowned when she was stopped, but by the time she realized something was wrong, Tabitha Norton Yi had already changed her expression.

"You come from a small family with poor upbringing, how dare you be so disrespectful in front of my son?" "No, auntie, I didn't recognize you just now."

Luo Yuemei quickly realized and immediately smiled apologetically. She couldn't figure out why the woman had come to see her, so she nervously smoothed her hair behind her ear, "Auntie, did you come to the hospital with Edmund? He just went over there. Shall I accompany you...?"

"Don't try to get close to me here."

Tabitha Norton Yi was not at all pleased, frowning coldly: "You're a married woman with a child, and you still have the nerve to cling to my son every day?"

"I don't care what your relationship with Edmund was in the past, but from today on, you'd better stop having those little thoughts. The door of our family is not something you can cry your way into."

"Play around as much as you want, I don't care who Edmund likes or supports, but the child, the only heir of our family, can only come from Vanessa Galsworthy's belly!"

"On this point, I will never give in."

Thinking about the child that had been lost in Vanessa Galsworthy's womb, Tabitha Norton Yi's face grew colder, "Otherwise, I don't mind letting you taste the methods of our family!"

Luo Yuemei saw the ferocity in the woman's eyes and involuntarily shivered.

Fortunately, the woman just warned her a few sentences and then left.

No, this can't go on!

Luo Yuemei thought with lingering fear. Clearly, the Montgomery family looked down on her status. If Edmund Montgomery didn't stand by her side at this time, what chance would she have?

Would she really have to run away to a foreign country and live that dark and hopeless life again?

With determination, she returned to the ward and saw her son lying on the bed, his face pale and his eyes closed tightly. Luo Yuemei was so nervous that her hands were shaking.

"Chercher, I'm doing this for you to have a good life in the future..."

She gritted her teeth and walked to the instrument. Soon, the ward was filled with a high-pitched alarm.

...

Vanessa Galsworthy walked back in a daze, her mind full of the intimate scene between Edmund Montgomery and the other woman.

Her heart ached more and more, and each step she took seemed to require all her strength. Cold sweat covered her forehead, making her thin face look even paler and weaker.

The sharp pain in her abdomen came again, and she felt like her body was falling endlessly, watching the floor get closer and closer!
