At this moment, an eerie silence fell on the long corridor outside the operation room. Doctor Owen’s head was so low that it seemed like she wanted to bury herself in the ground. She clenched her fists, not daring to look at Cameron as she spoke. “Mrs. Stark threatened me to keep this a secret. Actually, this can’t stay a secret for too long but I thought she was agitated by this news, so she refused to accept it. I have no idea that she would suddenly suffer a miscarriage. I’m so sorry about this, Mr. Stark.”
After all, she’s not young anymore. I bet she really wanted a son.
Doctor Owen clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails dug into her palms.
“No—you liar! Did Myra bribe you? Why would you slander my mom? You’re a liar!” Kris wanted to charge toward Doctor Owen but the door of the operation theatre opened with a loud bang. A nurse came out angrily and scolded them in a low voice, “What is wrong with you guys? Do you still want the patient to stay safe?”
Cameron’s expression changed immediately. With a grim expression on his face, he dragged Kris away from there.
Kris stumbled after him. At this moment, there was a panicked look on her face.
“Dad… Dad, please don’t do this.” Her arms were being grabbed by him so tightly that it hurt, but she did not dare to complain about it. Seeing that they had reached the emergency staircase, she wanted to say something but Cameron punched her in the face. Her nose that just underwent a plastic surgery became crooked, but she had no time to care about it anymore. “Dad, don’t listen to them. You have to believe me and Mom! Myra harmed Mom and the baby, and she still doesn’t want to let us go. Plus, she even found a doctor to frame us. Dad, you have to stand up for us—”
“Stand up for you?” Cameron had a murderous intent toward Kris at this moment.
The strength in his body was barely holding him up and preventing him from fainting at the moment. Seeing the panic on Kris face, his hands that hung at the sides of his body were now clenched tightly.
When I opened the door of the study just now, I clearly saw the dumb woman Kris tripping over her long dress and landing on Rachel’s belly.
Before that, both Tony and him overheard the mother-daughter duo’s conversation about asking Myra not to push Rachel.
After connecting what Doctor Owen had just told him with the incident that had just happened, Cameron’s expression darkened even more.
“So, will you tell me the truth yourself or would you like the doctors to explain everything to me after the operation?” Cameron’s forehead was throbbing and he had a savage expression on his face.
“Dad, how could you believe that liar? She—”
“Are you telling me that your mother’s baby was perfectly healthy before this and Doctor Owen’s words just now are a lie?” He interrupted Kris indifferently before she could finish her sentence.
Kris trembled upon hearing that. She wanted to nod but somehow, her head was frozen.
In an instant, a mighty storm seemed to appear in Cameron’s eyes. He suddenly shoved Kris away harshly. She was not expecting that so she fell down the stairs.
As they were in a rush to reach the hospital just now, she did not have the time to change into a new set of clothes. Her high-heels stepped on her long dress again and her ankle twisted, sending her tumbling down the stairs.
Cameron merely glared at her furiously before turning around to walk away.
There was a distance to the emergency staircase, so Myra and Tony did not know about the incident that took place there. However, they knew that Rachel and Kris had suffered a defeat this time around.
After Cameron and Kris left, Doctor Owen quickly fled. When Cameron returned, she was nowhere to be found.
In no time, a flustered looking Kris also returned, limping as she walked back.
There were wrinkles on her dress and the hem of the long skirt was torn, her hair a mess.
After she reached the entrance of the operation room, she did not dare to utter another word. However, the occasional glances that she shot Myra were full of hatred.
Myra ignored her and suddenly said to Cameron, “I have no idea why Rachel and Kris claimed that I pushed her. You’ve clearly seen that Kris was the one who landed on Rachel, and it was impossible for me to push her and jump down the staircase in such a short time. Of course, if you insist on pushing the blame on me, please show me concrete evidence of that. After all, now that there is no witness or evidence, you wouldn’t convict me like last time, would you?”
Cameron looked even grimmer than he was moments ago. Shooting Myra a furious look, he finally suppressed the fury within him as he met Tony’s cold eyes. “Sorry for involving you in this mess,” he said indifferently.
“I didn’t want to come either but it’s better to talk things out first, lest you accuse us later.”
Myra’s voice was the calmest among them, but every word of hers stabbed at Cameron’s heart.
As Tony was also at the Stark Residence today and he also witnessed the dramatic scene unfold when the door of the study was opened, it was impossible for Cameron to push the blame onto Myra at this point.
It was unreasonable to blame Myra for this in the first place. With Tony involved, they did not even dare push the blame to her.
Cameron was so furious that his entire body was trembling. Then, he shot an angry glare at Kris once more, and he couldn’t help but feel that the mother and daughter had brought him endless trouble ever since they came to the Stark Family.
Time passed slowly and two hours later, the door of the operation theatre finally opened.
As the bed was pushed out, one of the doctors frowned at the few of them and he announced, “The operation is very successful but the child is definitely lost. I’m sure that you already know that the baby would not be able to make it, so it’s fortunate enough that the mother is safe.”
The baby would not be able to make it…
Would not be able to make it…
Even though Cameron had already known about it, it was still a huge shock hearing it directly from the doctor. After all, he had a sliver of hope while waiting just now.
After standing up, he sat back to the chair heavily again with his chest puffing. In that instant, he felt as though the entire world turned dark.
Seeing his demeanour right now, Myra could not tell what she was feeling. She merely tugged on Tony’s shirt and said softly, “Let’s go. We don’t have to return to the Stark Residence tonight.”
Initially, she just wanted to make sure if Rachel was really pregnant. Now, not only was the pregnancy real, she also found out about their plans to push the blame for the miscarriage on her. Suddenly, the entire event seemed rather ludicrous to her.
I bet it’s out of Rachel’s expectations that she framed herself in the end, even though she has been quite oppressive toward me all this while, to the point where she even chased me out of the Stark Family.
Myra shook her head when she remembered the way Kris claimed that after Rachel got pregnant, Cameron planned to give the mother-daughter duo, including the baby boy Rachel was expecting, 20% of the Stark Group shares. At that time, she had no idea what Rachel and Kris were planning, but she was sure that they were up to no good.
Tony planted a kiss on her forehead and hummed in agreement. Then, he swept her off her feet and held her in his arms as he walked out of the hospital.
Seeing their closely intertwined figures, a surge of hatred and jealousy burned within Kris.
