Chapter 396
Paternity Test No way! It's absolutely out of the question!" Paula subconsciously shook her head, right after which, she was about to pass him and step away when the man reached out his arm and grabbed her wrist.
With some anxiety on his face, which was always expressionless, Burton frowned and said, "Paula, I have no idea why you left me so suddenly before. We still had feelings for each other at that time, didn't we?"
Even more shocked at his words, Paula looked at the man in front of her with her eyes wide open, "Do you really have no idea why I left you?" Did he think she was not aware of what he had done behind her back at all?
Burton's eyes flashed with unaffected anxiety. "Paula, if I did something wrong, just tell me. I'll never do that again."
As soon as Paula heard his words, a flood of rape surged through her mind. She gritted her teeth with a mixed feeling of irritation and resentment in her heart. She had never expected Burton to say this,
Cheating was absolutely inexcusable! He even put on an innocent and infatuated look, which was even more unacceptable.
Gritting her teeth, she looked at Burton with watery eyes and said, "Let go!"
Burton Irowned, feeling more and more heartbroken, "Paula ..."
"I said let go!" As a flood of rage surged through her, Paula wrenched herself free from Burton's hand, subconsciously raised her hand, and slapped him
"Pop!" The sound hit both of them like a thunderbolt. The atmosphere at the moment suddenly went quiet. and both of them froze at the same time.
A few seconds later, Paula suddenly came to her senses. She subconsciously took two steps back with her right hand trembling slightly, having not expected herself to be so angry that she had actually hit him! Felling heartbroken and breathless, she bit her lower lip, and said gritting her teeth, "From now on, we are through."
Right after her words, she ran away in a hurry before Burton could reply.
Only after getting far away, did Paula stop her steps, panting breathlessly. She hadn't expected that she could not have helped hitting Burton, unable to figure out whether she hated or loved him so much. Standing in situ for a long time, Paula gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath and checked the time. It had been almost half an hour since she had left the ward. On the thought of August, she immediately strode back.
If Lucia knew she had left Timothy and Janet alone with August, She would probably kill her dead!
Arrivine at the ward. Paula pushed the door open in a hurry and was relieved to see Timothy and Janet inside
Except for the two little ones, there was no one else in the ward. And August was gone.
Paula took a deep breath and hurriedly asked, "Where's August? Did he leave?"
Janet tilted her head, saying in a childish voice, "Uncle Handsome? He has something to do, so he left just now
Hearing this, Paula heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to check Timothy and then Janet, "He didn't bully you, did he?" After making sure both the little ones were safe and sound, Paula felt much more relieved.
Later, there were footfalls coming from outside the door and then Lucia pushed in, saying in a pleasant tone,
"Are you ready? The procedures are all done, we can leave the hospital now!"
Though they are all ready, no one seems to be as happy about the news as she had expected. Looking at Paula, whose eyes were still a little red, Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "What's wrong? Did you cry just now?"
As her expression changed a little, Paula quickly smiled to hide her feelings, "No, I didn't. It's just some red eyeshadow for the popular blossom makeup!"
Hearing this, Lucia smiled and ignored it. She then went to the bedside to help Janet pack her clothes, and looked at Timothy who was quietly playing with the Rubik's cube with his head down, feeling the atmosphere a little strange, different from the one when she had left. But Lucia had long been used to children's caprice, so she just led them out of the hospital and into the car.
The car was heading for West Bridge. Seeing that Timothy didn't say many words on the way, Lucia felt something was wrong, so she took a deep breath, and held the little one tightly in her arms, asking in a soft voice, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your sister?"
The two little ones would have a fight on occasion, and it was quite common for them to feel unhappy with each other's words.
Timothy shook his head, and leaned his little head in Lucia's arms, saying softly, "No, I didn't. It was just that
Uncle Handsome came just now..."
Surprised at the two words "Uncle Handsome". Lucia immediately thoucht of the handsome look of that man.
August came? How come nobody told me about it!
Timothy didn't notice something was wrong, continuing with his little head down, "Uncle Handsome had a long talk with Janet, and Janet told him that we have two birthdays. Isn't it our secret? I think she betrayed us
As soon as Lucia heard this, nervousness and unease clutched at her heart. She had told them a thousand times not to tell anyone about their birthdays, but she hadn't expected that Janet still had told August!
With his sensitivity, August would definitely realize something!
Lucia held Timothy's little hand nervously, asking, "What else happened?"
