Chapter 1953 Certainty
“W-Wilbur Simpson, you rascal!” Mabel was overwhelmed with rage when she saw Wilbur take off again. “That bastard’s gone again? I’m definitely going to tell his father about this! I’ll have his father teach his rebellious son a lesson!”
On the other hand, Janice was pale as she stood rooted to the spot. What would Wilbur think if he saw me standing here, completely fine? Did he realize that I was only pretending to be unconscious?
“This damn cab. He went off so quickly. Ugh!” Mabel then whipped her head around to look at the frozen Janice and questioned, “Why are you still standing around? Hurry and hail another cab!”
“W-Wilbur saw that I was fine. Will he think that I was only faking it?” she worriedly asked. At that, Mabel shot her a look of disdain. “Think? He won’t even be thinking; he’ll be sure that you’ve been faking it.”
“He’ll be sure about that?”
Janice panicked. She tricked Wilbur into thinking that she had lost her baby to save Maya. If Wilbur was certain that I was faking my condition to trick him, would he think that I did the same about the baby too? No. I can’t let this happen.
She then gravely said to Mabel, “How about this? I’ll hail a cab to the hospital, and you’ll tell him that I passed out again while hailing a cab and that I’m in a pretty bad condition. That way, Wilbur won’t think that I was faking it earlier.”
At that, Mabel gave her a look like she was staring at a lunatic. “It seems like you really care about Wilbur’s thoughts. So you’re just like any other dumb woman when you’re in love despite being a ruthless person.”
“He’s the only one I love. If not for Nicholas getting me pregnant, Wilbur and I wouldn’t have gone through so many things. Maybe we would have…”
Mabel snorted. “Would have what? Would you have gotten together with Wilbur? Would you have been his fiancée? It’s time to wake up, Janice! Even if you never had Nic’s kid, he’ll never like you. Can’t you see that from the way he ditched you on the road without caring for your life?”
“That’s because of you. If you didn’t say those words, he wouldn’t have—”
“Okay, fine. If you want to go to the hospital, then go ahead. I’m going home. It’s already so late. If we go to the hospital, who knows when this thing will finally be over?”
“You’ll come with me!” Janice abruptly insisted.
“What? What right do you have to have me accompany you?”
“If you don’t come with me, Wilbur will think that I am faking it. I won’t be able to destroy his relationship with Maya that way, and I won’t be able to make Wilbur lose the Seet family’s support. If that happens, your son will never be able to inherit the Seet family’s business. Think about it yourself whether or not you want to accompany me there. This matter is relevant to your son’s future.”
Mabel was speechless as she looked up at the dark sky and contemplated Nicholas and her situation. She really did not want to let Wilbur gain the support of the powerful Seet family and lord over Nicholas and her.
Mabel did not want to live in the mercy of others.
Hence, even though she did not want to waste her time with Janice, she agreed to it.
“Okay. I’ll go to the hospital with you. I hope you’re sure that this won’t be a waste of our time.”
“Don’t worry. I have a way to make sure Wilbur will believe that I really passed out and is in bad condition.”
With that said, Janice made a call.
After reaching the hospital, the hospital she had asked for came to check her up before saying to Janice, “The patient is in bad condition. Please inform her family that we will be commencing emergency treatment.”
“Emergency treatment?”
Mabel widened her eyes and looked at Janice, who seemed like the epitome of health, before looking at the doctor spouting nonsense. Then, in the next second, she realized what was going on.
An evil grin grew on her lips, and she played along by calling Rodney, Nicholas, and Wilbur.
