Chapter 66 The Crying Baby

Lilian got out of the car and followed Johnson into the living room.

Ruby was standing at the door. Seeing Johnson return, she immediately went up and held his arm, asking, "Why did it take you so long?"

Johnson answered, "There was a bit of traffic on the way."

Ruby glanced at Lilian behind him. If it weren't for Mrs. Landau, she wouldn't have wanted Johnson to pick up Lilian.

This mute woman might not be able to speak, but her eyes were seductive. Every time she saw them, Ruby wished to gouge them out!

"Come in. Mom is waiting inside." Ruby led Johnson inside and looked back at Lilian after taking a few steps. "What are you waiting for, Lilian? Come in!"

It was drizzling outside. There were fine droplets of water on Lilian's hair.

She entered the living room, where Mrs. Landau was holding her precious grandson, gently coaxing him to sleep.

Lilian stood next to her, looking at the baby in her arms. He was chubby and fair-skinned, cutely babbling at Lilian with a grin.

Lilian seemed a little entranced. This was her first time seeing a baby up close. The baby turned out to be so adorable!

She subconsciously brushed his belly, wondering if her baby would be just as cute.

The baby reached out his hand, seemingly hoping to touch her.

Lilian looked at his chubby hand and impulsively reached out as well. Unfortunately, before she could touch him, Ruby stepped forward and pushed her away.

"Lilian, you haven't washed your hands, right? Don't try to spread your germs to Bennie." Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Although Ruby was smiling, her push was not gentle. Lilian staggered back a few steps, almost falling to the ground.

Lilian managed to steady herself by grabbing the sofa.

Mrs. Landau handed the baby to Ruby and finally stood up to examine Lilian, her face no longer that kind.

Her gaze was like a knife, sweeping over Lilian's body and finally resting on her belly.

"Hannah."

Hannah, who had been waiting nearby, immediately came forward with two servants and gently said to Lilian, "Madam, Mrs. Landau wants to give you an exam. Please come with us."

Lilian suddenly looked up and met Mrs. Landau's cold eyes.

She opened her mouth, fear and astonishment filling her eyes. She instinctively took a step back, her heart sinking. As expected, God was not on her side.

Mrs. Landau sneered, "What? You didn't think we would find out this secret you hid from us? I told you long ago not to indulge in wishful thinking, but you wouldn't listen. Since you want to bring this upon yourself, you can't blame us!"

Lilian shook her head, gesturing helplessly. Mrs. Landau looked away, not wanting to see her. "Take her away, Hannah."

The two maids immediately stepped forward, grabbed Lilian's arms, and dragged her towards the door.

Lilian clung to the doorframe, casting her gaze into the room. Mrs. Landau had already picked up her grandson again.

Ruby's mouth curled into a malicious smirk, just like every time her trick succeeded. Johnson watched her quietly, his expression unchanged.

These cold faces were so terrifying. Although she had a newborn in her arms, Mrs. Landau showed no sympathy.

What was inside her womb was also a life!

Hannah pried Lilian's hand from the doorframe and pulled her away.

The villa remained quiet as if Lilian had never been here before. The only anomaly was the baby in Mrs. Landau's arms, who began to cry. The loud wailing echoed throughout the villa's hall.

The drizzling rain fell on Lilian's face. The crying seemed both near and far, each sound tearing at her heart.

For a moment, she felt as if the cries were coming from the child inside her belly.
