Chapter 2075 She knew exactly why she looked ill.
The night before, when Jim and Sean got into their fight, Bonnie had almost suffered a miscarriage from Jim’s punch.
Bonnie could not help recalling what the doctor had said to her at the hospital. “Ms. Craig, it’s a miracle that your child is even still alive…
“Even though you showed signs of a miscarriage, thankfully, the child managed to survive.
“Of course, you have to be more careful in the future.”
At that time, Bonnie had burst into tears. She was crying for her ill fate, as well as the strong will of the child inside her belly.
Despite that, she did not feel like having Laura look after her at all.
To put it simply, she did not trust Laura.
.
She did not trust anyone apart from her obstetrician.
It was already a miracle that the child managed to survive up to this point, but she was worried that if Jim found out about the baby’s survival somehow…
He would try to get rid of it or claim it for himself.
After all, since he had already split up with Charlotte, there was no telling what he would do to the child inside Bonnie’s belly.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie stood up and said, “I’ll bring Shelly upstairs now.”
Then, she turned and left the room.
Luna and Laura were the only two people left in the living room.
Luna’s first impression of Laura had not been a good one, so she glanced at a nearby servant and ordered, “Go check if June is awake yet.”
She knew that June had been up all night crying because of her cold.
Therefore, she was probably still sleeping.
The servant nodded and disappeared up the stairs.
Luna turned to smile at Laura. “Please wait, Dr. Suess. June will probably be down in a moment.
Then, she stood up and added, “If there’s nothing else I can help you with, please excuse me.”
She did not feel like entertaining Laura at all.
Laura could not help smirking when she heard this. She lifted her head to shoot Luna an impassive glance and said, “Why are you so eager to leave, Ms. Luna? Are you scared of me?”
Luna, who had just taken two steps, paused when she heard this. She furrowed her brows and turned to shoot Laura à cold glance. “Me? Scared of you?”
Laura curled her lips into a smile when met with Luna’s hostile gaze. “Well, aren’t you? Aren’t you eager to leave because you’re afraid of me and don’t want to interact with me?
“Let me think: Why are you so unwilling to interact with me, Ms. Luna?”
The smile on her face grew wider as she continued, “Maybe it’s because I’ve been an intelligent, outstanding student since young and even graduated from the best medical school in the world, whereas you, Ms. Luna, are nothing but a parasite who feeds on Joshua’s wealth.
“Therefore, you can’t help feeling ashamed next to me.”
Luna furrowed her brows.
She had no idea that this doctor had such a formidable educational background.
The best medical school in the world…
This was probably why Lucas had insisted on Joshua employing her as the family doctor.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna smiled and said, “Why would I be ashamed? You’re overestimating yourself, Dr. Suess.
“You’re not as good as you think you are, and I’m not as useless as you think I am.”
Laura, too, curled her lips into a smile when faced with Luna’s contemptuous smirk. “Well, since that’s what you believe, are you willing to compete with me fair and square, Ms. Luna?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, a cold male voice rang out from the door, “What do you want to compete with her for?”.
