Chapter120Because of You She Lost Her Child
Emelle refused, “No need.”
But Daphne insisted, thrusting the umbrella into her hand. “Take it. You’ll easily catch a cold in this weather.”
Emelie wondered what game she played.
Daphne said eamestly, “Emelle, don’t think catching a cold is a minor illness. Sometimes, minor illnesses can lead to
problems.

“Like mydad, we thought it was a common cold at first. But it escalated into a lite–threatening condition. He almost didn’t make it.” “Fortunately, he had a heart transplant. Otherwise, I might not have a dad now,” Emelie’s ears picked up on that “Did you say heart transplant?” Daphne explained softly, “Don’t you know about this surgery, Emelie?Aheart transplant is when a patient with heart disease gets a healthy heart. “My dad had the surgery yesterday. It’s a major operation. If Mr. Middleton hadn’t brought in the top surgeons for my dad, I would’ve been worried.”Was the patient given priority over Greta Daphne’s father? The one who had only one week left to live and wasinmore critical condition than her mother. Emelie suddenly felt like Wren had thrown another cup of water in her face.
Her complexion rapidly paled against the dreary backdrop, appearing frail.
What an unlucky coincidence that it was Daphne’s father.
Emelie had just convinced herself to accept the doctors explanation
It was understandable to give the heart to the patient who only had a week left. But now, this patient was Daphne’s dad. So, did hegenuinelygo downtohisfinal week?
slett? Or would hehavereceived that heart regardless, even if he had one, two, three more years
William dared claim this had nothing to do with him. Emelle relt a surge of utter despair and fury.
At that moment, Daphne added, “I heard someone caused a scene over the heart yesterday. How pitifull
“But I think what meant to be will be. Life and death, wealth and nobility are God’s will. Some things can’t be forced.”
Life, death, riches, and nobility were all hers.
Ofcourse, she could stand here and preach nonsense.
Daphne didn’t follow her to lend an umbrella. It was a victor’s chance to mock Emelie!
Daphne said, “It’s destined for her to miss this chance and face death. Don’t you agree, Emelie?”
The thread of rationality snapped. Emelie raised her hand to strike Daphne’s Lace!
Before she could react, someone grabbed the umbrella from her and hit Daphne in the face with it.
Mona cursed angrily,“Say thatagain, bitch!”
The umbrella’s metal wiring tore two gashes across Daphne’s face!
Daphne screamed in agony, staggering backward, William caught her just in time.
He immediately examined her bloody, gasted face.
Anicy chill ran through William as he snapped his gaze to Emelie.
Emelle, still enraged, stared backcoldly.
Daphne sobbed inWilliam’sarms.
William said stemly, “Apologize.”
Mona refused, cursing loudly.“You shamelessslut! Is this any way to speak? You got what you wanted, and now you act innocent.
*Youstole what belonged to others and still gloated in front of them. How twisted can you be?Yourmindmust be messed up!”
Emelie held Mona back and asked William directly: “You’re behind all this. You gave her father the heart meant for my mom, didn’t you?
william looked at her. “How long will you keep talking nonsense?”
Emelle laughed. “So you’re telling me it was all coincidence?”
“We’ll discuss your matter later,” Williamglancedat Mona,
“Apologize or face legal action. Your choice.”
The threat of legal action made Mona hesitate, but she refused tobackdown.
“Mr. Middleton, you’re a big shot. Wecan’tafford tooffendyou. Bat Emellehasbeen with you for three years, following you through hardships.
“Torturing her tothisstate, then allowing this bitch to trample over her. Do you have any conscience left?”
“Wait for the lawyer’s letter.”William was taking Daphne to see a doctor.
Mona blurted out abruptly. “Do you even low that Emelie lost a child because of you?
