Chapter 1936 Predestined Fate
There was a brief silence before Janice turned to look at Maya and muttered, “It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.” Tears kept streaming down her face. “My baby just has a tough life. He has a tough life…”
“Ms. Moniker, don’t be too sad. I believe you’ll still have children in the future,” Nina consoled. A sad smile formed on Janice’s face. “Even if I do, it’s not the same baby. This baby is gone…”
“Janice, we’re really thankful for you rescuing Maya. If there’s anything you need in the future, we’ll do everything we can to help you. Your body is still weak. You shouldn’t get too emotional. What’s more important now is to take good care of your health,” Nicole advised by the side.
Janice shifted her gaze to Nicole. “Thank you, Mrs. Seet. Since you’re a mother, I’m sure you understand the feeling of losing a baby. I don’t want to be too emotional either, but…” Janice sobbed. “Okay. I’ll listen to you. I won’t be sad.”
Right then, the door opened, with Mabel and Nicholas walking in.
“Janice, how are you feeling? I-I heard you lost the baby.” Mabel approached the bed and held Janice’s hands tightly.
“It’s my fault. I couldn’t protect my baby,” Janice said.
Mabel had heard about the entire incident when she was on her way to the hospital. Nicholas had mentioned how Janice did not want to give birth to the child as well.
Puzzled, Mabel had asked Nicholas, “So you suspect Janice plotted this? She purposely set Maya up because she doesn’t want the baby?”
“That’s not impossible since she’s a vicious woman.”
Mabel’s expression had changed drastically. If that’s the case, then what should I do? Now that the child is gone, what should I do so that Nicholas and I can get the most benefit?
After giving it some thought, she had figured she should just go with the flow.
Since everyone believes Janice lost her baby to save Maya, the entire Seet family will definitely think that they owe Janice. Besides, the baby also belongs to Nicholas. Hence, they’ll naturally be indebted to him as well. The Seet family’s debt is incredibly valuable. Perhaps this could help Nicholas a great deal in the future. I know what we should do.
On the way to the hospital, she had discussed the matter with Nicholas. They would ignore whether that was Janice’s plan. All they needed was for the Seet family to think that Janice had lost the baby because of Maya. They wanted the Seets to feel indebted to Janice.
Hence, Mabel unleashed her true talent by crying and complaining about how she and Rodney had been looking forward to the birth of the child. She then mentioned how much Nicholas loved the child and had given him a name and about how all the baby products he ordered at a high price were now wasted.
Nicholas played along by saying the child had a tough life, which was why he had to leave in such a way before he could even take a look at the world.
Mabel also comforted Maya not to be too sad and that there was no need to feel guilty about it. If Maya and Wilbur were to get married in the future, the baby would be her nephew. Hence, his death would be worth it since he had saved her life.
A baby died because of me. Maya felt guiltier after listening to them.
Nina, however, frowned. The more they spoke, the more she did not want to listen. In the end, all they were doing was emphasizing the fact that the baby had died because of Maya. On top of that, the more they spoke, the more it felt as though Maya and the Seet family owed them a life.
Hence, Nina stepped forward and looked at Mabel, saying, “Mrs. Simpson, you shouldn’t be too sad too. Janice will definitely be rewarded by the heavens. If Maya did not faint at that time, I think she would’ve rather gone with the robbers and not let Janice lose her child. This is something unavoidable.
Janice and Maya did not have a choice. This is also the child’s predestined fate. So please, look on the bright side and stop nagging! Everyone is mourning here!”
