Chapter 142 She is Special
Finished
Cynthia sat stiffly in place. She’d done everything she could to get Curtis to stay tonight, but nothing had
worked.
She glared at Adriana, convinced Adriana was provoking her and trying to put her in her place.
She and Curtis had known each other for so many years; there was no way Adriana could steal him away in just a few days,
Clutching her blanket tightly, Cynthia kept silent.
The nurse came in to redo Cynthia’s IV and give her another injection. Belinda sat quietly at her side, keeping her company.
“According to the test results, there isn’t any major problem. As for why she’s coughing up blood… it’s still unclear for now,” the doctor explained to Curtis.
“Alright, if anything comes up, contact me right away.” Curtis nodded, then turned to Cynthia. “Since the doctor says you’re fine, just rest. Tomorrow, let Kenneth take you home after discharge. Try to focus on recovery for now.”
Curtis’s meaning was clear: Kenneth would be responsible for her safety and care from now on.
He had a wife now, and he needed to spend more of his time with her.
Cynthia looked at Curtis with frustration. She wanted to say something more, but Belinda stopped her.
“Why did you stop me?” As soon as Curtis and Adriana left. Cynthia turned her anger on Belinda.
“Mom…” Belinda’s eyes were red as she spoke. “Curtis… he really likes Adriana.”
Even Belinda could see it. Cynthia just didn’t want to admit it.
“That’s nonsense! Do you know what kind of person Curtis is? He’s the CEO of Lincoln Group and the Lincolns‘ heir. There’s no way he’d fall for an orphan! He’s just using her to get out of his engagement with the Bartons. He told me himself–he just wanted to break free. You don’t understand him! None of you do! I’m the only person in the world who truly understands his pain!”
Cynthia sounded so arrogant. She believed she was the only one truly right for Curtis, the only one who understood him.
She thought only she could heal the pain Curtis carried.
“Mom… “Belinda cried again. Adriana is really great. She’s special. Curtis is going to fall for her.”
“Shut up!” Cynthia snapped, losing control.
She wasn’t going to let anyone take Curtis from her. Never.
She wouldn’t let Adriana have Curtis’s child…
If the Lincolns needed a baby, she could give Curtis one herself. Even if she had to do in vitro fertilization,

she’d go for it
Why does Curts have to pick someone elset I thought he hated women and never let any of them get clor Tell me the with Adriana’s baby–is it a test tube baby?
A surge of fear hit Cynthia If I don’t do something soon. Cortic and Adriana are going to have a haly
“Mom, I don’t know Belinda cried, shaking her head.
“It must be Cynthia kept lying to herself. “Curtis can’t stand women. He hates them, and he won’t let any woman near him. He can’t possibly have a child with Adriana the normal way. There’s no way?
Belinda sobbed quietly. She really didn’t know how Adriana got pregnant, but deep down, she suspected Curtis’s so–called rules about women didn’t seem to apply to Adriana
Back at home, Adriana was in a great mood. She’d had a good meal, and Curtis was there to keep her company. Life suddenly felt peaceful and pleasant.
Although she had no idea how long this could last.
“Curtis, I don’t really feel anything. Do you think the baby’s still there?” Adriana was always anxious. She insisted on checking every morning with a pregnancy test, only relaxing when she saw the two dark red
lines.
“Healthy embryos don’t just disappear.” Curtis pulled her into his arms, quoting what he’d read in the books.
“Only the strong get to be my child. Adriana comforted herself, remembering a quote she’d seen online.
Curtis laughed. “You’re right.”
“Curtis, your grandpa’s still in Haldoria, isn’t he? Don’t you need to spend some time with him? Adriana suddenly remembered that Harold was still in Haldoria.
