Chapter 223 Gavin Was In Hospital
Shirley thought to herself, 'Rachel hasn't got pregnant since she married Hiram. If I conceive a baby for
the Rong family, Gavin will shift his attention from her to me.'
"Dad! Leave this to me. I'll have children, but with Rachel, not that woman!" Hiram stood up and said
angrily.
"Hiram!"
Gavin took a seat on the sofa. He looked at Shirley and remembered that he had seen this girl several
times before. She had often come to his house to visit Lydia. "Calm down! I think Shirley will agree to
give birth to the baby and leave it in Rachel's care. Don't you think that's the best result for all of us?"
"No! It's impossible! Dad, it's my own business. I'll deal with it myself," Hiram shot back, frowning at his
father. Gavin rarely objected to any of his decisions.
Shirley stood up immediately when she heard Gavin say that she could give birth to the baby. "Hiram, I
will agree to anything as long as you let me have the baby. You can even give it to Rachel!"
Just then, Rachel, who had been silent so far, burst out into laughter.
Shirley was so smart. She knew that she would be safe if she could give birth to the baby.
"Shirley, you are really something! You stepped on the cruise ship that night looking for an opportunity,
didn't you? I know you've been planning this for a long time. As long as you got an opportunity to get
Hiram alone, you tried your best to get intimate with him or at least pretend to, and then had a test tube
baby. And you succeeded. So now you think that if you give birth to this child, Hiram would start paying
more attention to you and distance himself from me gradually.
Am I right?"Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Shirley panicked at Rachel's words since she had seen right through her, but she calmed herself down.
Since the bargaining chip was in her hand, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Besides, Rachel had got nothing from the Rong family. They hadn't even held a wedding ceremony,
and she hadn't conceived a child with Hiram yet. She couldn't be a threat to Shirley.
"Rachel, I've never thought of it that way. I don't care about anything as long as you allow me to give
birth to the baby!" Shirley didn't know how else to handle this except to pretend to be miserable.
Jasper had already found out what she had done, so how she'd conceived the baby wasn't a secret
anymore.
This was her only option. No matter how hard it was, it would be the first step towards success once
the baby was born.
Hiram snorted. He glanced at Shirley, then at Miranda, who was standing beside Shirley speechlessly.
"Miranda, the car is waiting outside. Can you help me take Shirley to the hospital? Or I'll have to bring
her there myself!"
Miranda shivered at his anger. She looked at Shirley's miserable expression and turned her head away.
"Shirley, let's go to the hospital. After all, it's disgraceful to destroy someone's family.
Even if you gave birth to the baby, would you bear it when he's called a bastard and looked down on by
others all his life?"
Hearing this, Shirley withdrew her hand from Miranda's arm.
"Listen to me!" Gavin said, standing up.
"Hiram, I won't allow anyone to hurt the baby!
Shirley, the baby and you need a good environment. Just stay and rest at our house and don't think too
much!"
Then Gavin turned to the butler standing beside him and commanded," Bring Miss Fang to the guest
room and take good care of her."
It made Hiram extremely embarrassed. He stood up with his fists clenched, and then walked towards
the butler who was bringing Shirley upstairs.
"Hiram, what are you doing?"
Gavin roared angrily when he saw Hiram pushing the butler away and dragging Shirley outside.
"Are you crazy? I'm your father! You don't even care about what I'm saying!" Ignoring Gavin's anger
and Shirley's crazy screaming, Hiram continued to drag Shirley towards the gate.
"Gavin? Gavin!"
"Uncle Gavin!"
When Hiram and Shirley were almost at the gate, Gavin fainted. The butler hurried to him to help him
up.
Joanna came over too and cried out," Gavin! What's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Please!"
Everyone was suddenly thrown into a panic.
Hiram let go of Shirley immediately and rushed over. He closed his eyes slowly at the sight of Gavin
lying on the floor.
At the hospital...
"Mr. Rong got a stroke because of his anger. Never stir him up again and try to keep him calm. He has
just gotten out of the danger, and he's still very weak now,"
the doctor in the white uniform said. He was an experienced expert on heart disease.
Surrounded by the strong smell of disinfectant, Rachel sat on the blue armchair in the hospital and
stared at the white wall.
She had gradually calmed down from her rage.
After talking to the doctor, Hiram turned around and walked to Rachel.
"Hiram, let's talk," Rachel said.
It was already dark outside. There was a touch of coldness in the air.
It was quiet, and only the rustling of the leaves and the crying of crickets in the grass could be heard.
"Hiram, Dad's health is the most important thing. Maybe you should let Shirley give birth to the baby,"
Rachel said, lowering her head slowly and looking down at her feet.
"Anyway, you still have no children. Don't you want to carry on the Rong family line?"
Hiram stood in front of the lawn with his hands in his pockets. He watched the mist covering the night
sky and said," I promise I'll get Shirley to get an abortion once my dad's condition is stable.
I'm not going to let her keep the baby."
Hiram knew that he should prevent the baby from being born, or Rachel would leave him someday.
And besides, he would never be able to make it up to her after hurting her that much.
"But your Dad won't agree! Although he hasn't brought it up again, he hasn't forgiven my dad! I can tell
that he hates my dad and me."
With that, Rachel took a deep breath. Gavin's concern about Landy's death had turned into hatred, and
now, he was venting out his anger on her.
"So what? You're my wife. You're the one who's going to live with me for the rest of my life. If he's
broad-minded enough, he should let it go," Hiram said in a low voice. Then he looked at her and said,"
I'll ask Chad to bring you to Tulip Palace so you can get some rest. Let me deal with this. Trust me! I
won't let you down this time,"
Hiram said firmly, looking at her with brooding eyes.
Although they were facing problems one after the other, he was trying his best to protect her and
minimize her suffering.
Rachel smiled and grasped his hands in hers. "Hiram, you're not immortal, you have weaknesses too.
Since he's your dad, if something bad happened to him, you would be very sad. I don't want you to do
anything that you will regret in the future."
Hearing this, Hiram frowned and grabbed her wrist firmly. "Rachel, what do you mean? Are you going
to leave me? No way! I won't let you go!"
Her words had set him on edge again.
