You Had This Divorce Coming Chapter 121
Lucille couldn't help teasing, "What, are you waiting for the hospital director to come have you arrested?"Joanne laughed. "Right now? I'd like to see who'd dare."Lucille raised an eyebrow. "Well, that's some confidence. Let me guess. Did you reconnect with a powerful old flame while you were in Asthrala?""Oh, get out of here." Joanne gave Lucille a mock-offended shove, but there was something deeper beneath her playful tone. "You and I have been through years of hardship. Things are finally starting to turn around."Lucille heard it and realized she didn't need to ask another question. She already knew the answer.She nodded, the weight of everything they had endured over the years washing through her all at once. "Mom. For the rest of your life, you don't have to endure anything for anyone else. You don't have to keep burying everything until it turns into breast cancer."No one in this world is ever going to treat us that way again. Everything this world has put us through,

Lucille did not know whether to laugh or cry.'How did my mother make one trip to Asthrala and come back more energized than I am, talking even more recklessly? Unless…' A bold suspicion surfaced in her mind, but she kept it to herself. That wasn't the time.Rayne's earth-shattering wail drew every doctor, nurse, and security guard in the hospital, along with Rayne's mother.Wendy rushed over in a panic. She saw her daughter collapsed on the floor, sobbing, then turned to Lucille and Joanne standing shoulder to shoulder. Her eyes immediately reddened.Wendy jabbed a finger at Joanne's face and screamed at the top of her lungs, "How dare you, Joanne! You hit my daughter, didn't you?! Do you two have any respect for the law? I'll have you both arrested tonight!"Where is your hospital director?! Get him out here right now and have him call the police! This woman is being charged with assault! The corridor cameras don't lie. She isn't walking away from this!"She wore an expensive f

Hearing the commotion in the corridor, Lucille walked to the doorway and looked outside.She saw Rayne half-crawling, half-running after Otto, who never looked back.He left her with nothing but the cold, unwavering sight of his retreating figure. Without a single glance in her direction, he stepped into the elevator and disappeared.Rayne collapsed onto the floor, sobbing so violently that she looked as though she had completely fallen apart. She looked like a woman abandoned by the entire world.The commotion drew everyone in the VIP ward into the corridor. Doors opened one after another as curious faces peeked outside.Aware that every eye was on her, Rayne forced herself together. She staggered to her feet, pulled her baseball cap low, and tugged her mask over her face. After making sure no one could recognize her in such a wretched state, she started walking.She had taken only three steps when her gaze met a pair of icy, unblinking eyes.Rayne froze. She instinctively took

"Mom!" It was the most relieved word Lucille had spoken in a very long time."Hey!" Joanne's raspy voice boomed through the room at full volume.The next second, they were wrapped in each other's arms, holding on as though no distance had ever separated them.Even through Joanne's coat, Lucille felt it. Where her mother's chest should have been, there was a hollow space, a piece that was gone.The tears came before she could stop them."Mom, you..." She looked at her mother, her eyes filled with everything she could not say. A thousand words lodged at the back of her throat, yet not a single one escaped.Joanne burst into a bright, carefree laugh. She gave a quick spin in front of Lucille. "What's there to cry about? Your mother is just fine. I went through a little ordeal, and now I've come back stronger."Don't worry. The surgery went better than expected. Better than they projected. That's why I got out early. I came to see my granddaughter."Lily! Lily, sweetheart, Grandma'

"Tell me exactly what happened that day," Lucille said.When Nancy saw that Lucille wasn't going to punish her, her breathing gradually steadied.She gripped the hem of her jacket and said, "They wanted to come to the house, but I told them I'd been instructed not to reveal where we lived, and they didn't press the issue. So we met at the nearby mall."Mr. Prescott was so happy to see Lily. He picked her up right away and held her, and he couldn't stop kissing her face. He finally handed her back after she wet herself and started crying."It didn't take long. We had a simple meal together, and then I brought Lily home."Nancy finished her account in one breath.Lucille's heart pounded. Gideon had been in and out of the hospital constantly over the past several days. The last time she had seen him, he had been coughing dryly every so often.'If he had already been carrying a virus, and he kissed Lily so many times…' She thought it through, then caught something else in Nancy's ac

"So the baby's fever has come down a bit. She's currently at 100.4 degrees. Given how young she is, the doctor recommends admitting her for observation. If you agree, please come with me so we can complete the paperwork."The word "admitting" made Lucille's knees go weak."Is it... Is it serious? How is she right now? Is she going to be all right?"The nurse saw her distress and softened her voice. "It's not critical. We've been seeing a lot of cases lately where little ones catch a virus and develop recurring fevers. We're recommending admission so we can monitor her closely and provide the care she needs. She's doing reasonably well at the moment, so try not to worry."Lucille wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and agreed.On the way to the admissions desk, something kept nagging at her.Lily almost never left the house. Aside from one trip to the mall, they had hardly taken her anywhere. On pleasant days, Nancy would occasionally push her stroller around outside for a few

Lucille closed her eyes as pain and loss flickered across her face, then vanished just as quickly. "Lillian is enough. She's all I'll ever need. No man is worth going through that again."The mood in the fitting room changed. What Lucille left unsaid weighed more heavily than what she had spoken al

Inside a clothing store in a large shopping mall in Coasthaven, Lillian slept soundly in her stroller, clean, full, and completely out, while Nancy pushed her slowly along the aisles.Gwen stayed close to Lucille as she tried things on. Her body still had not fully recovered after the birth. Her ol

"I have done nothing wrong. My conscience is clear. I held the line the entire time, and I never crossed it. Not in thought, not in action. I would swear to that on anything." Gideon let out a sharp breath. "I never imagined Lucille would see it this way. Fine. But you? My sworn brother? You're real
