Chapter 124 The Reasons For Resenting Adeline

"Yeah, I really want to know! Since I was little, I've always dreamed of knowing whether I'm truly your biological daughter!"

Adeline clenched her fist tightly with her nails digging into her palm as she desperately held back tears in front of Edith.

Edith's eyes held a distinct undertone of hatred as she took a few steps closer.

"Well, then I'll be straight with you. Yes, I hate you! When I was carrying your three brothers and even when I was carrying Viola, I didn't feel this burden."

"Only you! You, the bringer of bad luck, made my pregnancy so difficult."

"After giving birth to three sons in a row, I wished for a daughter. You have no idea how elated your father and I were when we found out your gender."

"Back then, I was newly pregnant and suffered from constant nausea, even vomiting bile. Yet, I was still happy."

"My mother-in-law consulted a fortune teller who said your conception was ill-timed, that you were cursed and would bring calamity upon our family. I didn't believe it, and I was determined to give birth to you."

"But, fate had other plans. Not long after, at the seventh months, we discovered that you were growing alongside a uterine fibroid. You and the fibroid grew together."

Edith recalled the past and took a painful breath.

Olivia interjected upon hearing this and objected repeatedly, "But this can't really be Adeline's fault!"

"And why shouldn't we blame her?" Edith's voice grew more intense.

"The doctor said it was her leg that compressed the fibroid, preventing the ultrasound from detecting it. It was her pressure that stimulated the fibroid to grow uncontrollably. Throughout the pregnancy, while others had morning sickness for three months, I was sick until giving birth. I was unable to get out of bed, worrying daily about the fibroid rupturing."

"Adeline, I resent you! Honestly, with a child who had caused so much trouble like you, I couldn't really have any positive feelings towards you. Finally, when the day came to give birth and have the surgery to remove the fibroid, I ended up hemorrhaging. Family matters went awry due to a business deal gone wrong, and they had to rush to the company. I was left alone with just the driver at the entire hospital. They even issued a critical condition notice, but there was no one around to sign it. Whose doing is all of this?"

Speaking about the incident, Edith pointed sharply at Adeline, "It's you! It's all because of you! If you weren't cursed, I wouldn't have developed fibroids when carrying you! If it weren't for you, on the day of delivery, my family wouldn't have been away, dealing with the company going bankrupt! It's you, it's you, all because of you!"

Edith's furious rant left her short of breath. After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Honestly, because of you, I don't dare to have more children. So when Viola was supposed to come, I considered getting rid of her. I even had your grandma consult a fortune teller, and she said Viola would bring us good luck. I was skeptical but decided to keep her. But I never expected the entire pregnancy to be unbelievably smooth. I didn't vomit once, and I could even go on trips with my friends. On the day of birth, not only was there no trouble, but the company also got a huge order. So until now, I've felt guilty towards Viola. I actually contemplated getting rid of her! And all of this is because of you, Adeline. Do you dare to say it's not your fault?"

Adeline smirked sarcastically, and felt a heavy lump in her chest. But, she couldn't utter a single word.

She wanted to say it wasn't her fault!

What did any of this have to do with her?

She didn't believe in any of this superstitious nonsense!

But the coincidences were too compelling for her to argue against.

Seeing her struggle to respond, Edith took a couple of steps closer.

"You're asking if I've ever thought about what would happen to you? What could even happen to you, huh?"

"Even the fortune teller said, you're never going to have good luck in this lifetime! You're destined to be unlucky forever, to lead a miserable and solitary life till the end!"

"With a fate like yours, what could I possibly consider for you? I definitely had to think about Viola first!"

After a prolonged silence, Adeline finally took a deep breath. It was as if she had reached a decision, and she began to speak slowly.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
