Chapter 518 He’s Already In Trouble
Scarlett apologized to Luna in the ward while Josh and Lawrence waited outside in the corridor.
Lawrence struggled to find the words and looked at Josh with pleading eyes.
“Don’t even think about it. If you secretly conduct a DNA test without Abigail’s knowledge and she finds out, she will never forgive you,” Josh muttered coldly, devoid of any warmth in
his tone.
“I just want some proof. I won’t disturb her, at least not for the time being,” Lawrence said anxiously, his palms sweaty as he came over today.
“Old Mrs. Quinn has some misunderstandings about the Pearsons. I think the most. important thing for you and Mom is to meet her,” Josh stated sternly.
“Abigail is at the company every day, so we won’t have the chance,” Lawrence answered, growing increasingly desperate.
It felt like everything he did was wrong.
“I’ve arranged to meet her for dinner tonight. We’ll have two hours at most. You both need to carefully plan what you want to ask and discuss anything you need to apologize for,” Josh announced, firmly holding the upper hand against the usually authoritative Lawrence.
“Okay. I’ll remember that,” Lawrence nodded.
Before this, their son had advised them not to favor their daughter while bullying Abigail, but they didn’t listen.
Now, they knelt before him, heeding his words.
The two men quickly settled their affairs.
Meanwhile, Scarlett had a more challenging task.
Luna wasn’t willing to give Scarlett the time of day, and the latter faced repeated rejections. She felt rather wronged.
“Don’t feel wronged. I may not be able to have children, so you can still change your mind at this point,” Luna revealed all her shortcomings to Scarlett.
“There won’t be any children, then. You’ll get better, too. The doctors here are inadequate. We will find doctors abroad to ensure your complete recovery and have no regrets,” Scarlett tried to appease her.

She had acted arrogantly before this, but now she appeared pitiful.
Luna lay on the bed, squinted her eyes, and gazed at Scarlett for a long while before she finally spoke. “Abigail won’t accept you, so don’t take matters into your own hands by doing. any DNA tesis. It will only make her angrier. If you had just been reasonable before, would you have created this mess that we’re in now?”
Scarlett looked at Luna, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Who knew that Kelly was a fake… I’m angry too. I’m a victim. I’ve put so much effort into this, and the result is that she’s a fraud!”
The older woman clenched her fists in frustration as she said this.
“And you even slapped her.” Luna continued.
Scarlett deflated like a balloon upon hearing that.
Luna had narrowly escaped death, and her perspective on life had changed. If it were in the past, she would have already started scolding Scarlett.
In the end, two individuals left the hospital room, sighing in unison.
“We’re just one step away from doing the test… but that one step is impossible!” Scarlett said to Lawrence in a despondent tone.
“We’ll meet Old Mrs. Quinn tonight,” Lawrence commented.
Scarlett nodded quickly. “She was the one who found Abigail, so she must know the whole story!”
That evening, Josh called Abigail to meet at the hospital for a dinner gathering.
Scarlett and Lawrence visited L.Moon again.
As soon as Analise saw them, she wore a stern expression and remained silent.
“Last time, we were in the wrong, and I apologize to you, Old Mrs. Quinn,” Lawrence bowed. deeply, showing great humility.
“You don’t have to. I’m not worthy of it! Leave now, or I’ll call the police!” Analise spoke in a cold tone.
“Old Mrs. Quinn, last time we were too hasty, and it was for our daughter’s sake. If it had been Abigail, would you still be angry?” Lawrence asked Analise, distressed.
“In this world, there are no what-ifs. Abigail isn’t your child, so you can forget about it. Leave!” She dismissed them, wielding a broom to drive them away.

The two were promptly chased out of the office, looking utterly disheveled.
Scarlett’s eyes welled up with tears. “We were doing it for our daughter. Why did it have to be this way?”
“Take it slow. We made a mistake, and no matter how difficult the other party is, it’s something we should bear,” Lawrence stated.
They had been so close to uncovering the truth once, but they gave up and chose the
way out.
