Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 278

Considering the fact that they were pregnant, the two of them only ordered orange juice. However, Elsie’s stomach started to ache after she drank the juice, and the bottom of her dress was soaked in blood.

She immediately called Eve, who then phoned the hospital right away. When Elsie was sent into the operation theater, Eve quickly called her son. Everything happened so fast that she didn’t even have the chance to catch her breath.

When Elsie finally came out of the operation theater, Eve was told by the doctor that the former was fine but the child couldn’t be saved. Immediately, her eyes were filled with anger and she glared at Lyla. If it wasn’t for them being at the hospital, Eve would have slapped her on the face right away. “Are you happy now? Lyla, I’ll have you know that you won’t get away with this so easily! Sean will be here soon and he’ll find out how cruel you are for killing the child inside Elsie!”

At that point, Eve was about to blow a gasket. Before this, Elsie went on to do a test with her and confirmed that the child she was carrying was a boy. I was about to become a grandmother to a grandson, but all of this was destroyed by Lyla!

“So what if he knows? Mom, don’t forget that Sean told you to come here and take care of the child long ago but you and Elsie kept on dragging the matter, which resulted in this. Also, who told you that I was the one who killed the child she was carrying? I was also drinking the orange juice with her, so why would I want to hurt her and the child?” Lyla’s eyes were cold and she did not have any strength left to pretend in front of Eve.

“You didn’t do it? Do you really think I don’t know what happened? You definitely put something in Elsie’s drink! You really are a cruel woman. I’ve already taken what’s left of her drink and ran it through an inspection. You won’t get away this time!” Eve growled.

Suddenly, Lyla’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself before she plastered a mocking smile on her face. “Is that so? Mom, you know my plan so well it is as if you’ve used the same means too on someone else in the past.”

Eve’s face turned pale the minute she heard that statement. Inside the ward, Elsie was still sleeping soundly but on the outside, the atmosphere between Lyla and Eve was getting tense. What happened back then… What happened back then had always been Eve’s secret. Ever since she realized how big her son’s reaction was toward that incident, she subconsciously told herself that it was all Myra’s fault and it had nothing to do with her.

In all honesty, she had no say on whether it had nothing to do with her or not. In the past two years, there were countless times when she wanted to spill the beans whenever she saw her son’s disgust toward Myra, but she held back the urge to tell him that it was she herself who drugged Lyla and caused the miscarriage.

Why is Lyla mentioning this to me at this moment? Well, maybe this is just a coincidence. Eve’s fists tightened immediately and she tried to compose herself. She then stared at Lyla viciously as she roared, “I knew all along that you are a cruel woman. Don’t think I don’t know that Myra was driven out of the Chase Family because of your scheme, so you can stop pretending in front of me now!”

“Looks like you do know that Myra was driven out of the family because of my little scheme. What are you going to do about it, though? You knew about this but you still didn’t stop me!” Lyla sneered at the woman in front of her who was pretending to be calm. “You want your son to marry someone who not only can bear him a child, but also has some worth for you to exploit. Now that you’ve seen the video online, I’m afraid that you feel fortunate that your son has divorced Myra, right?” At the moment, Lyla felt as though she was going off the rails, but it didn’t matter to her anymore as she only wanted the Chase Group and the Chase Family. To achieve her goals, she could sacrifice everything. “I’ve also said that I will never divorce Sean. I’m not Myra, so I won’t let you kick me out of the Chase Family after you have finished using me! I will forever be the Young Mistress of the Chase Family!” Lyla’s sharp eyes were now filled with grievance.

“You—” Eve almost passed out in anger but she couldn’t do anything about it. Lyla isn’t as easy to drive away as Myra. I should have thought of this back when I approved her marriage with Sean. Her chest heaving violently, she suddenly smiled coldly. “Lyla, have you forgotten why Sean hated Myra so much? It’s because she killed the child inside you back then. Now that you have harmed the child inside Elsie, what do you think he’ll do to you?”
