Chapter 1457 Tina Pushes Julia
"Thank you," Sonia thanked him.
Afterward, the bodyguard left.
Mary went over and closed the door. "Young Mistress Sonia, would you like to take a rest? You seem a little tired."
After yawning, Sonia agreed, "Yes, actually. Please wake me up after two hours."
That was because she had a pregnancy checkup in two hours, so she had to be awake.
Since Mary knew about it, she readily agreed, "Don't worry. I'll watch the time."
"Okay." Sonia nodded before lying down in bed and falling asleep.
Meanwhile at Trifecta Hospital, Julia came back in a happy mood. Titus saw her leave with big bags in her hands, so when she came back empty-handed, he immediately knew why she was so happy. He smiled and put down his phone, asking, "Did Sonny accept the dresses?"
"She did." Julia nodded happily. "On the way there, I was so worried that she wouldn't accept them. Luckily, all my worries were for nothing. I can't express how happy I am. She also tried them on, and she looked stunning in them. I even took some pictures. Would you like to see them?"
"What do you think?" Titus pretended to be angry and glared at her.
Sonia was his daughter, too, so his love for her wouldn't be any less than Julia's.
Therefore, how could he not anticipate how beautiful Sonia looked in those dresses?
Julia knew Titus was joking, so she wasn't angry. She chuckled and gave him the phone, which he quickly accepted.
As his hands were becoming more shaky day by day, he couldn't hold the phone steadily without using both hands.
Julia watched the scene with teary eyes, distressed.
As Titus' wife, she knew that her husband had almost reached the end of his lifespan and that she would soon lose him.
Deep down, she acknowledged that he was the one having the toughest time.
Seeming to have noticed the change in Julia's emotions, Titus beckoned her over. "Come here. Let's look at the pictures together."
"Sure." Julia knew he was trying to pull her out of her current emotion so that she wouldn't think too much about it.
Unwilling to disappoint him, Julia took a deep breath and barely suppressed the sadness inside her. Then, she forced out a smile and walked over.
The two of them leaned against the headboard while looking through pictures of Sonia. While they were glancing through the pictures, they had affectionate smiles on their faces. It was a very heartwarming scene.
At that moment, a tall and slim figure that belonged to a woman appeared outside the door to the ward.
She stood outside with her ear against the door. When she heard the laughter coming from inside, her pretty face instantly twisted into a scornful expression.
That was because she heard the people inside talking about Sonia, and the tone they were speaking in was filled with pride and affection.
The woman couldn't accept that and was gnashing her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
How disgusting. They've only known about Sonia's identity for a few days, yet they're already so worked up about everything related to her. What about me? They've raised me for over twenty years, but I never heard them talk about me with such joy! What does Sonia have that I don't? Is it because she's their real daughter while I'm not?
The woman clenched her hands tightly together as her whole body was filled with jealousy, anger, and hatred.
She hated Sonia, but she hated the Gray couple even more.
Is being related by blood that important? I've been with them for over twenty years, yet I still can't be compared to Sonia, who they just learned about a few days ago. Clearly, I have spent more time with them and cared a lot about them, but in their hearts, it's always their biological daughter who is more important. How ironic.
The more she thought about it, the more jealous she became. Tina placed her hands on the door before curling her hand into a claw and clawing fiercely at the door with her sharp nails, which made a harsh scratching noise.
Inside the room, Titus and Julia heard that sound and stopped what they were doing. They looked toward the door.
"What's that?" Titus asked.
While shaking her head, Julia got down from the hospital bed. "I'll go take a look."
She wore her slippers and headed for the door. When she opened it, the figure outside was caught by surprise and lost footing. The person fell toward Julia, almost falling into her arms.
Shocked by what was happening, Julia hurriedly took one step backward.
That person didn't catch hold of something to break her fall and thus fell right onto the floor inside the ward. "Ouch!" Her face looked pale, and her forehead was wet with cold sweat.
Clearly, her fall wasn't a light one.
"Who are you?" Julia looked at the woman on the ground and frowned, asking, "Why did you make the scratching noises?" Ugh, what an ill-mannered young lady.
Tina heard the disdain and frustration in Julia's voice, and then she recalled Julia's doting and affectionate voice when talking about Sonia.
Her expression became even more distorted as the jealousy in her eyes increased.
She didn't expect Julia would suddenly come over and open the door, which caused her to lose her balance and fall.
Her legs had healed, but she could barely walk. Now that she had taken such a hard fall, there might be some complications with her legs again.
Meanwhile, her hatred for Julia shot up even more when she noticed Julia didn't intend to help her up and apologize but instead used a questioning tone to speak with her.
The woman couldn't accept that and was gnashing her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Tina supported herself while slowly getting off the ground. Then, she stared coldly at Julia.
Tina supported herself while slowly getting off the ground. Then, she stared coldly at Julia.
Julia was shocked by Tina's gaze. "W-Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't push you. You were the one standing outside our door, eavesdropping on us. How would I know you would fall when I opened the door? Not mentioning you might have any ulterior motives standing here, and now you have the guts to glare at me. You—Wait, your face… is familiar. I think I've seen you before."
While squinting her eyes, Julia began carefully observing Tina's face.
A few seconds later, she suddenly recalled who the young woman was and became furious. "Anya Steinfeld! You're Anya Steinfeld! The woman who hurt my daughter and tried to steal my daughter's husband!"
Julia pointed at Tina and questioned, "I can't believe it's you. What are you doing here?"
Listening to how Julia kept mentioning "my daughter" and how protective of Sonia she was, Tina couldn't stand it anymore and gnashed her teeth.
Just as Tina was about to say something, Titus spoke up from inside the room. "That's enough. Don't waste too much time talking to this woman and just call the cops."
When Tina heard that they wanted to call the cops, she was first stunned. Then, she became flustered. "No, you can't call the cops."
If she were to get apprehended by the cops, they would investigate her background. By then, even Connor wouldn't help her. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Connor had previously warned her to lay low and not get arrested, or else he wouldn't help bail her out the second time.
If she got arrested the second time, her identity would be exposed, and Toby would…
Tina dared not think any further, so she grabbed Julia's hand and begged her not to call the cops.
However, Julia threw Tina's hand away and demanded an answer, "Why do you have to grab my hands while talking? And you said to not call the cops, so you are up to something. Say it, why are you here?"
"I-I got lost." Tina looked down and lied.
Julia sneered. "Got lost? Do you think I will believe you? You came here to eavesdrop on us, yet you tell me you got lost? You must have an ulterior motive, so I can't let you leave so easily."
In order to ensure her safety and to help her daughter get revenge, Julia couldn't let this woman leave so easily.
When Tina saw that Julia had decided to call the cops, she angrily pushed Julia to the ground and stormed away.
I can't be talking to the cops! Not before I get my revenge.
Tina sprinted out of the ward on this floor and entered the elevator.
As for Julia, she was currently sitting on the floor in pain, breaking out in a cold sweat and moaning.
Titus hurriedly got off the bed and shakingly approached her, asking, "What happened?"
