Chapter 210 Welcome Baby Party 1
When Carter fell asleep in his bed, Jennifer asked someone to find out about Amelia’s latest situation. Half an hour later, she received a text.
Tapping into it, she realized it was Amelia’s ward information.
At once, she told her assistant to get some flowers and fruits to visit Amelia.
When her assistant arrived with the gifts, she asked, “Jen, is your friend sick?”
“Yeah. I’ll pay you for the gifts later.”
“Jen, they don’t cost a bomb. You don’t have to pay me back,” her assistant replied, grinning.
“All right. You may leave now.”
Her assistant nodded and bade goodbye to her.
Soon, Jennifer arrived at Amelia’s ward with her gifts. She hesitated outside for a while before knocking on the door.
The door opened to reveal Tiffany, who parted her lips in surprise upon seeing Jennifer.
“Ms. Larson, what brings you here?” Tiffany asked with a half-hearted smile.
Jennifer returned, “I heard Amelia was in an accident, so I’m here to visit her. What’s wrong? Don’t you welcome me?”
“Truthfully, I don’t. Still, you’re a guest. I can’t kick you out, can I?” Tiffany opened the door and gestured. “Come on in. I don’t want others to think I’m bullying you.”
Jennifer walked past Tiffany into the ward.
Amelia was taken aback to see Jennifer. Still, she struggled to sit up slowly. Her action gave Tiffany a shock.
“Babe, what are you doing? You haven’t recovered yet, so please don’t simply move around,” Tiffany rushed over to reprimand her while helping her to sit up.
Amelia replied, “I’m feeling better now. Stop fussing over me.”
“Nonsense. Dr. Kane told us yesterday that you’re recovering swiftly, save for your ribcage. What if you jostle your wound and suffer? Lie down and stop worrying me!”
Amelia was rendered speechless at Tiffany’s reaction.
After seeing the exchange, Jennifer commented, “They take great care of you.”
Pointing at the sofa nearby, Amelia beckoned. “Have a seat, Ms. Larson.”
Jennifer placed the gifts aside and said, “Carter told me you were in an accident. I thought you’d be at the brink of death, but look how lively you are now.”
Is she trying to get beaten up?
Tiffany gritted her teeth in fury. “Ms. Larson, keep those harsh words to yourself.”
Ignoring Tiffany’s retort, Jennifer stuck her chin up arrogantly.
“Amelia, I heard you gave birth to a son. You have a happy family now. Why did you seduce Carter when he has decided to forget about you?” she demanded with her arms folded.
Amelia stared at her silently.
Meanwhile, Tiffany retorted, “Ms. Larson, who Mr. Scott wants to date is none of your business. Amelia got involved in an accident, so it’s perfectly normal for him to come and visit her. You’re not even his girlfriend. Why are you acting as though you’re his wife?”
Jennifer gave her a condescending look. “So? Carter is mine. Our families have agreed to our relationship, so we shall marry sooner or later. I’m just exercising my right earlier.”
Rolling her eyes, Tiffany gave up.
Even Amelia found that amusing. She’s assertive. Isn’t that a form of inferiority?
A confident woman would never revolve around one man. If she’s smart, she’ll play hard to get so the man would never forget about her.
Rising to her feet, Jennifer towered above Amelia and stated, “Since you didn’t die in that accident, there’s nothing to see here. I’ll take my leave then.”
With that, she left without waiting for Amelia or Tiffany’s reply.
Tiffany stared at her retreating figure in exasperation.
Laughing in disbelief, she asked, “Is this woman crazy?”
Amelia replied, “It’s nothing serious. Don’t take her words to heart.”
Tiffany placed her hands on her hips indignantly. “She was too harsh! No wonder that jinx doesn’t like her. If I were a man, I wouldn’t choose someone like her. Look at how rude she was.”
