Just thinking about it, Peggy furrowed her brows, feeling annoyed.
Lena frowned and said, "Mom, I think it might be a good idea for you to talk about it with Dad. If he finds out on his own, he will be very upset. It might not be very good for you."
Peggy didn't take Lena's suggestion too seriously. "Okay, fine. I'll find the time to tell your father. Don't worry about me. Right now, you need to concentrate on getting better. I'm going to be okay."
Seeing Peggy's attitude, Lena couldn't do anything about it. It was evident that Peggy didn't plan on listening to her.
However, if Lena's plan worked, everyone would think that Ashley was a cruel and jealous woman who had heartlessly killed her sister's baby. Then Lena's father would kick Ashley out of the family, and Andrew would leave her too. In such a case, Peggy would be fine.
When the time came, Ashley would lose everything. Then, Lena would finally replace her as the wife of the Lu Group's CEO.
After Peggy left, Lena dropped the act of faking a weak and poor person. The audience had gone. So there was no need for her to act in such a way.
Outside the room, Raymond was alone with Cora.
Cora asked, "Raymond, can you tell me what is going on? How did Lena lose the baby? And what does Ashley have to do with it? Please don't tell me that you're still seeing her."
Even though Cora loved and cared about Raymond, she wasn't going to spoil him. Cora wouldn't allow Raymond to have anything to do with Ashley.
Raymond looked at Cora hopelessly and said, "Mother! I'm not! I haven't talked to her for a while now. I let her go a long time ago, and I've already decided to be with Lena."
"Okay, I believe you. So, what happened today?" said Cora.
Raymond had no choice but to tell his mother what he knew. When he spoke about how Lena lost the baby, he hesitated.
Although he believed what Lena said, he still found it hard to believe that Ashley could do such a thing to Lena.
He knew Ashley very well. Raymond believed that Ashley was a woman of the highest integrity. But he also believed that Lena wouldn't make up such a story.
Raymond was perplexed and didn't know what to say.
Raymond's suddenly pausing on the most important information of what happened, made Cora suspicious. She saw the complex expression on his face and knew immediately what was on his mind.
No one knew a son better than his mother.
Cora decided to light a direction for him. "Lena is your fiancee now! She just lost her baby and she is lying in a hospital bed. What are you thinking about right now? Are you still thinking about Ashley?"
Cora stopped and regarded her son. Seeing that he was still struggling, she continued, "You still don't know your position! You are Lena's fiance! Your fiancee is in the hospital, but you're still thinking about another woman!"
Raymond closed his eyes. A series of horrifying images came to him.
It started with the image of Lena lying on the floor and holding her stomach, feeling hopeless and scared. Her legs were covered in blood. Then, Ashley was walking towards her step by step. She was saying something, but Raymond couldn't hear it.
Raymond finally replied to Cora, "The doctor said that the reason why Lena lost the baby was mainly due to an external force. At that time, there were only Ashley and Lena in the bathroom."
Cora gasped and conducted, "So, was Ashley the one who caused Lena's miscarriage?"
She thought for a moment. Then, Cora nodded and sneered, "Humph! I knew she was evil like a snake. I'm glad that you left her, or she might have already eaten you alive!
The Mu family even graciously adopted her. Lena always treated her as a sister. Poor Lena always thought about Ashley's well-being, but Ashley never did the same for her. She couldn't even leave her unborn child alone."
