Chapter 365 The Sixth Child
“Arissa!” Danna called out desperately. She did not know what Arissa had decided to free her. “You better not think I was lying to you. If not…”
Arissa paused at the door. Since I’m here, I might as well make all of them talk…
She requested to speak to the midwife.
After a while, the midwife was brought into the room by another guard.
Her eyes went wild with panic when she saw Arissa.
Arissa looked at her coldly and said, “You don’t have to be scared of me; I can’t do anything to you here.”
As long as they’re scared of me, they will not harm my children…
“Ms. York, I…”
The midwife had not expected Arissa to pay her a visit. She sat down nervously.
“I have something to ask you!” Arissa said.
“W-what else do you want to know? I-I’ve already told you everything!” the midwife stammered. Her entire body was trembling in fear.
Arissa watched her flustered and guilty countenance, and her eyes grew colder.
“I’m here because you didn’t tell me the whole truth back then!”
The midwife’s eyes widened in shock and fear. Oh no, s-she knows?
“I’ll give you a chance to confess everything now. In exchange for that, I’ll have your prison sentence shortened,” Arissa offered.
“I’ve already told you everything! I held nothing back!” the midwife insisted stubbornly.
Arissa snorted in disbelief and stood up. “You think you’re so tough? You’re not afraid of death, are you? I’ll treat your daughter exactly how you have treated my baby!”
The midwife quickly stopped her line of thought. “Please don’t do anything to my daughter! She’s innocent! She knows nothing!”
Arissa raised an eyebrow and stared at the midwife with her steely gaze.
“Speak then!”
The midwife looked around the room wildly as if she was trying to escape.
“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you everything!”
Arissa sat down and waited for her to speak.
The midwife refused to meet her eyes. She was hesitating.
Arissa glared at her. “I don’t have all day!”
“You gave birth to a sixth baby!” the midwife blurted out.
Arissa was shocked.
Her hands were trembling uncontrollably. “I have another baby?”
“Yes,” the midwife replied in a shaky voice.
She met Arissa’s eyes for a moment. Then, she lowered her head and recounted everything that had happened back then.
“After you had delivered the first baby, I went to bring the child to Ms. Adams. I didn’t expect you to deliver another one! The second baby was smaller. So, I brought both babies to Ms. Adams… After that, you delivered four more babies, but Ms. Adams didn’t want anything to do with them. She paid us off and told us to deal with those babies. I’m sure you know what happened after that. Except for the existence of this sixth baby, I’ve told you everything! Ms. York, I know that I have broken the law by committing these illegal acts. There’s no way for me to live freely now, but please, I beg you, don’t involve my child in this matter! This entire ordeal was instructed by Ms. Adams!”
Arissa’s heart was beating wildly in her chest. I have another child!
She glared at the midwife. “Where is my baby now?”
The midwife shook her head. “I don’t know where the baby is. Ms. Adams took the two babies away and we lost contact with them after that. I thought the children were all together, but when we only saw five of them that day, we felt that something was wrong! I really don’t know anything more!”
Arissa narrowed her eyes and watched the midwife closely, trying to decide if she was telling the truth.
“If you lie to me again, I will make sure you regret it.”
The midwife shook her head vehemently.
“I really don’t know where the baby is!”
Arissa questioned her repeatedly, but she maintained her ignorance. Finally, Arissa asked, “Is the baby a boy or a girl?”
“He’s a boy. Both of the babies that Ms. Adams took with her are boys. However, the second baby looked weaker. In fact, Ms. Adams disliked the second baby’s appearance. She thought he was an ugly baby! I told her that he will grow into his looks with time…” the midwife answered. She held nothing back this time.
Arissa gritted her teeth. “What else do you have to confess?”
