“Who says we’re being unreasonable? This is just karma eating back at you! Who told you to get on Mrs. Langford’s bad side? You’re lucky you’re still alive right now!”
“She’s right! Clean up everything in the kitchen. If you don’t, you’ll have to starve!” “She can just eat the garbage!”
They left, laughing all the way. To make things worse, they even took away Tina’s cleaning tools, forcing her to pick up the trash one by one with her hand. Tina heaved in a big breath and bent down to do the chores.
If it wasn’t for her, Madam Langford’s condition wouldn’t have grown worse. She had to wait for the old lady to wake up from her coma.
Right as Tina was picking up the shards, someone stepped hard on the back of her hand.
Caught unaware, the shards penetrated Tina’s skin and blood flowed out of her palms.
Pain stabbed at her palms. The agony was so excruciating that Tina couldn’t even make out a sound. What followed was Cindy’s apologetic voice.
“Oh, no! I’m so sorry for accidentally stepping on your hand! I didn’t see you on the ground there, cowering like a dog!” Cindy didn’t have a visible baby bump yet, but she was still wearing loose clothes meant for pregnant women.
Although she looked frail and vulnerable, the force she exerted on Tina’s hand was so strong that it almost broke Tina’s bones. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Push me away if you dare,” Cindy continued with contempt. “Right now, I’m not only Samuel’s wife, but also the mother of his child. If you dare to even touch me, I’ll make sure Samuel knows about it! You’ll dread what’s going to happen next!”
Tina gritted her teeth. Though her forehead was filled with beads of sweat, she didn’t utter a single word of complaint.
Of course, Tina was more than aware of how important Cindy was to Samuel.
She had already caused harm to Madam Langford. If anything happened to Cindy and her baby, she wouldn’t get out of here alive.
Cindy stomped on Tina’s palm a few times, but was irked when Tina wasn’t giving her any reaction. So, she loosened her grip.
“How disappointing. I thought you were going to beg for forgiveness!”
Tina smiled weakly, but she retorted with a hint of sarcasm.
“Miss Young, oh no, Mrs. Langford. Are you here just so you can step on my hands?” “Of course not.” Cindy caressed her stomach and added, “Samuel’s really busy nowadays. He has to work and take care of Grandma at the same time.”
“As for me, I’m now pregnant with the sole heir of the Langford family. I’m busy taking care of my own body, so I can’t accompany him.” “That’s precisely why I need someone to design the layout of the room for my baby. I don’t feel comfortable having the maids decorate the room for me. So, I thought of you!” “Since you’re also pregnant, I think you’re more suitable to take on that task. Am I right?” Although Cindy sounded really calm and gentle, her words were like sharp knives stabbing into Tina’s heart.
They were both pregnant with Samuel’s child, but the mistreatment aimed at Tina was more than obvious. Since Cindy was the only woman Samuel had ever loved, he would definitely provide the best education and a loving environment for her baby to grow up in. As for Tina… Given her lowly family background, she and her baby would deserve nothing near that.
Now, Tina’s secret was at Cindy’s mercy. If Tina did anything to infuriate Cindy, she was at risk of losing her only blood-related family. Tina’s face turned pale at that thought. Cindy’s smile turned even more sinister upon seeing Tina’s frightened reaction. “Make sure to put in the effort to decorate the room. I’m counting on you!”
Cindy turned to leave, leaving Tina alone in the kitchen. After dressing the wound in her palm, Tina still had to clean up all the trash that was strewn on the floor.
She finally returned to the dorms in the middle of the night, sapped of her every strength. Her roommate had deliberately thrown away her mattress and blankets in the hallway. So, Tina had no choice but to sleep in the corner of the room. At the break of dawn, a commotion could be heard outside the dorms. “Madam Langford has woken up from her coma! Quick, get some of the maids to take care of her at the hospital now!”
