Winter's End, Spring's Reckoning Chapter 9
In the end, the child in Adele couldn't be saved.Her pregnancy was difficult from the beginning. She had to rely on medicine to stabilize the embryo. Then came a sudden blow. She found out that her husband had passed away and that the man next to her was actually her brother-in-law.The violent swing in emotions triggered severe bleeding. Luckily, the doctors and nurses were around, and they managed to save her life.However, after the loss of the baby, Adele's state of mind started to decline.She often clung to a torn pillow, calling it her baby. She would also hug the tree in the garden, calling out to Noah.Jonah brought her to hospitals all over the state to seek treatment, but all he got in return were the same results. Adele suffered severe shock, and it would be hard for her to ever recover.Becoming a burden, she was soon despised by her in-laws. They sold her off to a decrepit old widower who lost seven wives.This time, Jonah no longer cared for Adele. The Lloyd fa

It was Jonah's turn to fluster."What?"He couldn't believe his ears. He looked utterly shocked, but soon turned into rage."Fiona Gardner, I was blind to fall for you! You ungrateful hag! You're a widow with a child! You should be grateful that the Lloyd family is still feeding you! Your useless womb can't even bear me a son! I have to look after my family's bloodline!"How dare he bring up my womb?If it weren't for his mother, who forced me to do the laundry with the well water in the harsh winter, I wouldn't have gotten sick at all.I had to recuperate for half a year before getting pregnant with Tina.When his mother heard that I was having a daughter, she was about to force me to have an abortion.If it weren't for the woman's association stepping in to help, Tina would have never been born!"How dare you register me as dead! Y-You…" Jonah was at a loss for words. He knew perfectly well that with his older brother gone, taking his place and looking after his sister-in-la

With every sentence Andy made, Adele's face lost a little bit of color. When she heard his final sentence, she shrieked in horror. "What the hell are you talking about! How could I not know my own husband! I could recognize him even with my eyes closed! I left a bite mark on his shoulder!"She went over and tore Jonah's clothes apart. What she saw struck her dumb. She checked on the other side just to be sure.His shoulder was smooth as a baby's bum with not a single bite mark to be found, let alone a scar.At that moment, it hit Adele. She shoved Jonah aside in disbelief. Shaking her head, she muttered to herself repeatedly, "You're not Noah. You're not Noah!"She retreated as her gaze toward Jonah no longer had any love in them.Jonah was completely heartbroken at that moment, but he had no choice but to console her."Adele, don't get worked up. You're still pregnant."Adele chuckled bitterly. "Hehe, my child."The next second, a large pool of blood trickled down her leg. S

When I came around, I saw many people looking at me worriedly.Seeing me coming around, a few of them called out to the doctor excitedly, "Quickly! Fiona's up! Call the doctor!"I opened my eyes to see my brothers and parents sitting all around me.Andy held my hand in delight, saying, "Thank goodness you're up!"My parents went in to me and asked in concern, "Fiona, I made you chicken soup. Do you want some?"I looked around and said, "Hello, everyone, where's Tina?"Before my parents could reply, Andy answered, "Don't worry. She's safe at home."I was relieved to hear that she was alright. I was worried that Jonah might do something to her. I finally saw my husband for who he was in this new life.Before I could say something, Andy tutted at the door and yelled, "What are you still standing outside for? You need me to escort you in?"At that moment, Jonah entered the room, accompanied by a very reluctant Adele. In front of Andy, Jonah lost all his arrogance.As a proud and

When I saw who it was, my tears couldn't stop falling.A man in his immaculate military uniform was looking at me with aching concern. He quickly took off his coat and wrapped it around me, pulling me into his arms.As I felt the remnants of his body warmth from the coat, all the grievances I suffered bubbled to the surface.I said with a catch in my throat, "Andy, y-you're finally here!"Then, I buried myself into his neck and sobbed onto his uniform.An equally callused hand lay on my body, but this time, I felt extremely safe. Ever since we were young, Andy, my fifth-oldest brother, doted on me. He was an abandoned baby that my parents picked up by the side of the road. Not long after they took Andy home, my mother was pregnant with me.My parents always wanted a daughter, but their wish never came true. So, they thought that Andy brought me to them.They named him Andy and raised him like one of their own.When Andy knew about his background, he treated me even better.

"I already told you you have a terrible life! First, you caused your husband's death. Now, your entire house has been raided. All you do is bring bad luck."Adele suddenly appeared, followed by Jonah behind her, carefully holding her by the waist.I wiped away my tears and glared at Jonah."I'm sure you both know the best whether this was done by thieves or someone that we know!"My harsh words caused Jonah's gaze to flicker a little, but his tongue was still sharp."So, what if I took them away? Everything that you own belongs to the Lloyd family! I— I mean, my brother might have left all these, but even if I were to take this house for myself one day, it would have been right! "I am the last and only son of the Lloyd family. Adele is pregnant with our first grandson. This will be all for them in the future!"What Jonah said clearly struck a chord with Adele. She no longer hid her arrogance. She raised her wrist, showing me the gold locket that my parents gave me when I was te
