"It's about Mr. Ralap." Darwin did not want to pass on the message for Stephanie, but he knew how important Vergil Ralap was to Nicolas.
If he dared to hide it, he might die a miserable death in the future.
Nicolas looked at the situation in the ward. Thea's body was buried between the blankets. Every twitch was like cutting his heart. He said, "Ask her what she wants. If she's unwilling to say, let her be."
At the moment, nothing was more important to him than Thea
Not only did Thea need to take care of her body, but she also needed the company and protection of her family. Otherwise, Thea would definitely live in endless self-blame.
Darwin hesitated for a moment and braced himself. "Nicolas, as you know, Ms. Ralap's mental state has been unstable recently. She said that if you don't come... she will bring this secret with her till she dies. After all, it concerns Mr. Ralap." Nicolas frowned and took a deep breath. "Call a few security guards and nurses over to accompany Thea."
He had to go to Stephanie, not only for Vergil, but also for Thea
He felt that Thea's child could not be lost for nothing.
Nicolas waited for a nurse to appear before handing over Thea and leaving.
Thea was still unwilling to speak to anyone, including Nicolas.
He could only try to hurry back to Thea as soon as possible.
Thea did not know how long she had been crying. Her almond-shaped eyes were swollen like walnuts, and the fatigue all over her body was almost devouring her.
She felt that she was to be blamed for this incident. Not only did she harm herself, but she also harmed the child who did not even have a chance to meet this world.
After blaming herself, endless hatred surged in Thea's heart.
She would definitely make Stephanie pay the price.
However, she had to pass Nicolas first. If he did not say anything, no one could touch Stephanie.
Thea pursed her lips tightly. She believed that Nicolas would not protect Stephanie since the baby was also his.
No matter how much he owed to Stephanie's brother, Thea felt that Nicolas should put an end to this.
"Nicolas..." Thea's throat was smoking, and her voice was soft and subtle.
What answered her was the hurried sound of the door being pushed open.
The person who came in was not Nicolas, but Emmalie.
Emmalie looked gloating, but she had to pretend to be concerned. "Thea, Nicolas has official matters to attend to and has left. Before he left, he instructed me and Mom to take good care of you." Actually, that was not the case.
Nicolas's staff were watching Thea closely. Emmalie and Ivy only sneaked in when the caregivers were handing over their

As soon as Thea saw them, alarm bells rang. "What are you doing here?"
After the miscarriage, her body was weak. Thea did not even have the strength to prop herself up.
No matter what, she was Ivy's daughter. Seeing her weak appearance, Ivy's eyes flashed with heartache. "Look at you. Your sister and I came here to serve you. Why don't you appreciate it Thea didn't believe that Emmalie would be so kind.
She said, "You've already seen my current state... Are the two of you satisfied? If you are, please leave quickly and stop being an eyesore in front of me.
She was not polite at all.
Seeing the ridicule on her pale face, Ivy froze for a moment.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
She thought, When did Thea become so distant from me? She doesn't treat me as her mother at all!'
Without giving Ivy any time to grieve, Emmalie had already gone forward to pour Thea a glass of water "Thea, I see that your throat'ts very dry. You should have some water "Nicolas is too much. Even though you're not pregnant with his child, you're still his wife. How can he treat you like this? He didn't even leave anyone to take care of you... Thea suddenly looked up.
She met Emmalie's eyes while Emmalie had a sarcastic look on her face.
Thea said, "Who told you that the child didn't belong to Nicolas?
"Everyone on the Internet said so, Thea... I really didn't expect that you cheated on him with another man. You even got pregnant. Thea, you went too far this time."
Thea's eyes froze. It was as if Emmalie had opened a wound in her heart.
She thought, This is ridiculous. I have only slept with Nicolas. How can the child in my stomach not be Nicolas's? Who exactly is spreading rumors on the Internet? Nicolas is not here right now. Does he really believe the nonsense on the Internet? Thea's eyes were sharp. "Were you the one who spread the rumors?"
Her words were so cold that Emmalie trembled in fear. The cup in her hand fell on Thea.
However, Ivy acted as if she could not see the water stains on Thea. She ignored her pale face and protected Emmalie in her arms. "How dare you shout at Emmalie? If you had not done those shameful things yourself, would you have ended up like this today?" Her gaze was so cold that Thea couldn't believe that Ivyt was her mother.
She asked, "Do you also think that I am capable of doing such a thing?"
Sometimes, Thea felt that she was being ridiculous. It was obvious that Ivy favored Emmalie. However, Thea still hoped that Ivy could show her some motherly move.

Emmalie said, "Mom, I don't blame Thea. She is emotional right now because she has just lost her baby."
Emmalie's timid tone made Ivy pity her. When Ivy glared at Thea, she looked disgusted. "When has Thea ever cared about
Sat,
you? Thea, you've liked to do shameful things since you were young. If you still want to be a member of our family, divorce Nicolas as soon as possible.
"I think he still likes you. Before you divorce him, tell him that only Emmalie is worthy of being his wife!"
Thea could not believe her ears.
She thought, 'I have just had a miscarriage and Ivy is already forcing me to divorce Nicolas?'

In fact, Thea could only feel endless malice from Ivy instead of motherly love.
Emmalie said, "Mom, isn't this... too unfair for Thea?"
Her pretentiousness made Ivy's heart ache even more. Ivy said, "Stop caring about her. When has she ever considered your feelings? Nicolas should have been your husband. She was the one who snatched him from you... Emmalie, leave this matter to Mom. Thea must agree to this!"
