Another half month had passed and Juliana was getting more and more anxious. The baby was now in the pelvis and no longer moving, but she could just feel it was coming out, and Sophie had called to say that she would be returning home next week.
One night, while Arthur had not yet returned home, Juliana asked Kane to ask Poppy out. She needed to ask Poppy face to face about it.
When she arrived at the appointed place, Kane came forward to support Juliana as soon as he saw her, and his careful look indicated that he had regarded her as his treasure.
Poppy looked at Kane with hatred, but when they walked over, she raised a smile and asked Juliana, "Julia, why do you ask me out so late at night?"
"I feel like I'm in labor. Have you made arrangements?" Juliana said anxiously as soon as she sat down.
Juliana felt his concern and got a little bit calmer. She looked at Poppy and waited for her answer.
"So soon?" Poppy raised an eyebrow and said, "In that case, I'll have the hospital ready. You just need to give birth at the hospital I specified."
"Don't worry. I can do that," Juliana responded with a nod. "Once the baby is born, there will be no more possibilities for Arthur and Lucia to get back together."
Juliana deliberately mentioned this. This was exactly the reason and purpose of Poppy doing all this. It was a critical moment now. Juliana who did not fully trust Poppy solemnly remind her.
"All right." As expected, after Juliana mentioned Lucia, Poppy's eyes were filled with hatred.
"It’s no way that Lucia can use Arthur to hit me and Jacob!"
More than that, Poppy hated that Lucia hurt her so much.
‘Lucia, after seeing the man you love have a child with another woman, will you be able to pull yourself together this time?'
Thinking that she could make Lucia suffer, Poppy could not refrain from laughing out loud. She was backlit, so her face was shadowed. She looked very horrible like a mad woman.
Juliana was a little bit scared of Poppy, so she held Kane's hand tightly to reassure herself.
Kane gently squeezed Juliana's hand and said to Poppy, "Poppy, calm down."
Poppy finally stopped laughing. She wiped tears of joy off the corners of her eyes and said, "Sorry, I got excited and I lost control a little bit when I thought about what would happen to Lucia."
"Do you hate Lucia that much?" Juliana's heart palpitated. It was the first time she felt Poppy's strong hatred of Lucia, and a strange feeling surged through her.
"Of course!" Poppy's face was fierce as she bluntly said, "I hate her so much I wanna see her die!"
"Just because she once stole Jacob from you?" asked Juliana cautiously, "But didn't Jacob belong to you in the end?"
"I used to think so, but it turned out that Jacob still had feelings for Lucia ..." Poppy said through gritted teeth.
"I will never allow Lucia to be happier than me!"
Faced with Poppy's extreme hatred, Juliana was speechless, just looking up at Kane with some worry in her eyes.
Kane worried about Poppy's outburst would hurt Juliana, so he said to intervene, "Well, that's all for today. You should quickly go back to rest."
