Chapter 1515 Not Wanting To Lurk In The Shadows
Colton’s wife did not dwell too much on it. When she heard that Tillie wanted to visit her niece-in-law, she happily agreed to it.
The two then headed to the hospital.
“Sigrith, you’re here. I’m sorry to trouble you this time,” Sabrina said when she saw Sigrith, feeling embarrassed.
Sabrina was still ordered by the doctor to have more bed rest, so she could only turn her head and greet her apologetically.
Sigrith smiled. “What’s there to feel sorry about. We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so polite with me. I’ll get you a glass of water. Mrs. Cooper, come in. Come and keep Sabrina company.”
With that said, Sigrith hurried away to get Sabrina a glass of water.
Colton and his family had lived at The Ataraxy since a long time ago. They were an honest family. Back then, Charles, Connor, Candice, and even Jared all thought of Sebastian as a threat to them. Thus, they tried again and again to kill him. However, Colton’s family did not participate in it. They were either hiding away or telling the others that they were too cowardly to do anything. Nevertheless, they ended up being the only survivors at The Ataraxy.
Furthermore, the people at Oceanic Estate were nice to them now, and they knew not to be ungrateful individuals.
After Sigrith went out, Sabrina turned to look at Tillie, who was awkwardly standing in the middle of the room. She then greeted, “Mrs. Cooper, you’re kind to come and visit me.”
At that, Tillie blushed before stepping closer to Sabrina.
“As I should. Ms. Sabrina, are you okay now? Why did you have signs of miscarriage all of a sudden? You were still fine when I came to see you yesterday,” Tillie said in concern.
Her eyes then trailed toward Sabrina’s stomach.
A helpless smile appeared on Sabrina’s face. “The housemaid made a mistake when she was making my dessert.”
“Huh?”
Tillie’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Is that so? What happened? How did you all find out about it? That’s so dangerous!” she blurted out. Her questions were like bullets from a machine gun.
Sabrina’s brows drew together.
She found it odd that Tillie was asking so many questions despite the two of them not being that close.
Still, she truthfully replied, “Almonds. My sister-in-law noticed it. She’s a really impressive TCM doctor, so it’s fine. It’s just that the housemaid who’s taking care of me is a little old and forgetful, so she threw in the almonds my sister-in-law gave to Jaena for her cough into the dessert. My aunt is coming over to take care of me now, so don’t worry.”
At the end of her words, she was even reassuring Tillie again.
It was then Tillie sighed in relief as the heart in her throat returned to its original position.
What no one noticed was that her knuckles had turned white from clenching her fists and that her palms were clammy with sweat.
Half an hour later, Tillie came back out of the ward.
Then, she ran all the way back to her car. Once she was in her car, she spent a long time gripping the steering wheel and trembling.
It was a fear never before that made her shake like a leaf.
It was panic, too.
She never thought that there would be someone so impressive in the Jadeson family.
After that, Tillie drove back to the Coopers’ place distractedly.
The moment she reached home, Violet hissed out, “You’re finally back? What’s going on with your housemaid? I told her I wanted to eat abalone, but why is she telling me that we need your approval? When have you become the one in charge of the Cooper family?”
Once again, those were the voices that greeted her when she went home.
Tillie stopped in her tracks and stared at Violet for a moment. The look in her eyes made her seem like a devil who had just crawled out of hell, and it sent chills down Violet’s spine.
“Are you going to be the one to give her money?”
“I…” Violet trailed off, at a loss for words.
It was then Tillie averted her cold gaze from her and looked at a distance away instead. The patience in her slowly dissipated, and all that was left was a hair-raising feeling to her whenever anyone looked at her.
“So, if you want to eat that, you better shut your mouth. Otherwise, if I’m no longer in Cooper residence, you’re all going to eat dust until Edmund comes and saves you.”
The entire living room was silent.
Violet, as well as Gabriella and Alice, who had come out of their rooms when they heard their conversation, was furious after hearing Tillie’s words.
However, for some reason that they could not quite understand, no curses could leave their mouths as they looked at Tillie. Chills just kept running down their spines.
Is this ugly girl possessed or something?
Tillie then went upstairs.
Around midnight, Edmund came home.
Tillie stayed in her room as she listened to the shuffling sounds he made downstairs. An urge had formed in her mind, tempting her to rush downstairs to ask the man if they were really going to divorce in a year.
Ultimately, she stopped herself from doing so.
Not long after, Gabriella seemed to have started talking to Edmund.
“Edmund, what’s going on with your wife? The housemaid is listening to her now! Without her permission, they’re not even allowed to buy things for us to eat. What is this? Why is she acting like she’s the head of the household now?”
