The Best Revenge It Wasn't Even Your Child novel Chapter 177

You could tell just by looking at Adelina. Her clothes, the way she carried herself... she definitely wasn’t the average person.

Amanda, after bumping into her, suddenly turned meek. She looked a little guilty for a second, then quickly helped Catherine up.

“Are you okay? Does anything hurt?” Her concern sounded forced, more for appearances than anything else. Like she was worried Adelina might cause trouble. Then Amanda shot a glare at Adelina.

“If you can’t even walk right, why are you wandering around? I’m warning you, she’s—”

Amanda pulled Catherine along as she spoke, bringing her right in front of Lance and Adelina. She pointed at Catherine’s stomach, ready to spill the secret.

“Lance!”

“Lance!”

Both voices rang out at the same moment.

Catherine spoke first. She didn’t know how long Lance had been standing there, or if he’d caught the conversation. Just in case, she jumped in to stop Amanda from saying too much.

Adelina was the other voice. She clung to Lance’s arm, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

“My leg really hurts. Can you take me to see a doctor? I think something’s wrong again.”

Lance’s face tightened, concern written all over him.

He picked up a blanket that had fallen, wrapped it around Adelina’s legs, and quickly wheeled her away.

Adelina was only there for a follow-up. But she’d just finished an exam and now needed another, which surprised the doctor.

He listened to what happened, then unwrapped the cast from her leg and gently pressed here and there.

“Does that hurt?”

Adelina held onto Lance’s sleeve and nodded slightly. “A little.”

“It’s nothing serious. You never had a fracture to start with. Even if you bumped it, it’d just be sore. There won’t be any dislocation.” The doctor set the cast back in place and handed over some painkillers. “Take one if you’re hurting.”

Adelina just smiled and went along with it. “If Lance has work, let him go. We can all have dinner another time.”

Lance nodded and gave her a gentle reminder. “Take care of yourself. I’ll come visit you again soon.” With that, he turned and left.

As soon as he was out of sight, Sarah couldn’t hold back anymore. “Why’d you just let him leave like that?”

“Mom!” Adelina’s face went pale. She grabbed Sarah’s hand, holding on tight. “I think Catherine’s pregnant!”

“Really?!” Sarah’s surprise quickly turned into excitement. “That means she won’t be after Lance anymore!”

But Adelina just looked miserable and shook her head hard.

“No... nobody knows who the father is.”

Sarah froze, her mind racing as she finally understood what Adelina was getting at.
