Chapter 272 Collect His Corpse

"Moving to the villa?" Samantha heard her daughter's words and felt a little awkward.

"If you feel that it is inconvenient, then forget it. . ."

Sarah also understood that if her mother lived there, she would feel that it was very inconvenient and Sarah really

did not want to make things difficult for her mother.

Samantha lowered her head to look at Stephen in her arms and then sighed, "Ethan is still in the ICU. Julian's eyes

can't see. If you go back to the Cooper Family, Daphne will definitely want to take care of you, and she will not be

able to rest well either. Since she mentioned it, I'll go back with you. Anyway, it's only a month's time. If you go back

alone, I won't be at ease either."

Now, the situation in Cooper Family was different from before. Samantha was really worried about Sarah's health.

"Mom, I always make you feel wronged. . ." Sarah looked at her mother apologetically and smiled.

Samantha looked at Sarah reproachfully and smiled, "Silly child, you still say this kind of thing to your Mom? No

matter what, Ethan is your father's sworn brother. Julian is like this now. I can't just watch the Cooper Family get

drown in sorrows, right? Don't you agree?"

"Hmm. . ." Sarah looked at her mother and nodded with a smile.

The moment Daphne came out of Sarah's delivery room, she returned to Vivian's delivery room. When she walked

in, she saw Mrs. Holmes cooking lunch in the kitchen.

Daphne snorted coldly and went straight to the sofa and sat down.

When Mrs. Holmes saw Daphne come back, she immediately walked over nervously. She smiled and said, "Mrs.

Cooper, it was a misunderstanding just now. Don't be too angry. I have already scolded Vivian just now. You see, she

has been crying from the moment you left. She is still young. It is also her first time being a mother. Plus, she is a

little impatient. Please don't lower yourself to her level!"

Daphne heard Mrs. Holmes's words and immediately retorted with a cold face.

“Mrs. Holmes, I don't agree with what you said at all. She is only a child? Many girls become mothers for the first

time every day. And I have never heard of a mother who is like this to a child who is just given birth two days ago. If

it is her first time being a mother, then what about you when you gave birth to Vivian? Did you treat your own child

like this? Or is it something that only your family inherited?"

When Vivian heard Daphne's words, she immediately bit her lips.

"Mrs. Cooper! Vivian was indeed wrong! Just treat her as a child and don't lower yourself to her level! I will

apologize you on her behalf. . ."

Mrs. Holmes immediately apologized carefully once again when she heard that.

"It's fine if you apologize her or not. No matter how much you apologize on behalf of her, I don’t care, because I

saw what happened in my own eyes. In the past, I only saw those vicious stepmothers on TV, who try to choke their

stepchildren. But today, I have gained a lot of experience. I think your daughter can’t even be compared to those

stepmothers for being able to do something to her own son. Mrs. Holmes, don't you think so?"

Daphne still had a cold expression and did not have the slightest intention of forgiving the mother and daughter.

When Vivian heard Daphne’s words, she could not bear it any longer. "Mom, what is the meaning of this? No matter

what I do to Stephen, he is still my son after all. Do you think it is appropriate for you to carry him away like this?"

Daphne nodded in agreement. "You are right! In the end, Stephen is your son, but I really want to ask you, are you

really his biological mother? What should I do if I don't carry him away? Should I wait to collect his corpse?"

Vivian was speechless for a long time and could only look at her mother for help.

"Mrs. Cooper, speaking of which, to this extent. . . Let's just say it out loud. No matter what, the child is still Vivian's

flesh and blood. You should carry Stephen back!"

Mrs. Holmes looked at Daphne and said. The expression on her face also became a little more serious.

"Huh! What?” Daphne sneered, “Now you know that he is her flesh and blood? The child was about to choke to

death just now, why didn't you say so at that time? I came back now to tell you that Vivian's milk is not good

anyway and Stephen doesn't drink milk powder. So I have already discussed with Sarah just now. She will feed

Stephen from now on! Sarah will raise him for now. So you can take care of your precious daughter as you can.

Anyway, Sarah will return to the villa in a few days. If you want to see a child, you can see it every day. But don’t

even try to bring the child back! Alright, I have finished my words."

After Daphne finished speaking, she was about to leave.

"Aiya, Mrs. Cooper, aren't you going too far by doing this?" Mrs. Holmes immediately chased Daphne to the door.

Daphne smiled and looked at Mrs. Holmes, "I am going too far? If I really went too far, it would definitely not be like

this now! Anyway, you guys can't feed Stephen if he stays here. Now Vivian just finished the surgery, you should

focus on taking care of Vivian. As for other things, we will talk about it after Vivian is out of the hospital."

"What does Mrs. Cooper mean? What else?" Mrs. Holmes asked nervously.

"I only said it casually. You don't have to take it to heart. The most important thing now is to take good care of

Vivian. As for the child's matter, you don't have to worry about it for the time being." After Daphne finished

speaking, she left without looking back.

Mrs. Holmes looked at the empty door and sighed heavily. She walked to the door and looked at Hannah who was at

the side. She said, "Hannah, you should go back first. You do not need to take care of this place for the time being."

Hannah immediately looked at Vivian nervously. To be honest, she wished she could leave this place immediately!

Vivian waved her hand at her gloomily. "Are you deaf? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Hannah's expression changed and she immediately left the room without a sound.

Mrs. Holmes closed the door and turned around to look at Vivian on the bed. She heavily sighed. "Your temper can't

be changed, right? The maids are human too. If you treat them like this, will you have a good life in Cooper Family?"

"Mom! I'm already depressed enough. Don't teach me a lesson for others!" Vivian pinched the quilt gloomily and

fiercely twisted it into a ball.

Mrs. Holmes walked to her daughter's bedside and sat down. She looked at Vivian, not knowing what to do, "What

do we do now? Just now your mother-in-law has already said things to that extent. Now it seemed that Stephen

would not be able to come back for the time being. If we insist on bringing him back, your mother-in-law will

probably fight with us to the death! And Julian. He proposed a divorce with you. You can't pretend you didn't hear

this, right?"

Vivian bit her lips hatefully, "Then let the child stay with that Sarah first! Anyway, I will be discharged in a few days.

As long as we return to the villa, I will be able to get the child back. The most important thing now is that Julian

wants to divorce me. If he really wants to divorce me, then what is the use of changing the child?"

To her right now, the most important thing was not the child, but the divorce that Julian proposed to her.

If this matter wasn't settled, she would definitely be chased out of the Cooper Family. No matter what, she couldn't

fulfill Julian's wish!

"Then what should I do? His current thoughts are definitely all on Ruby. Sigh, that Ruby is really. . . You are her

cousin, how can she do such a thing? It was really a waste of time for me to want to take care of their family!" Mrs.

Holmes thought of Ruby and was very angry.

When Vivian heard her mother's words, her eyes turned cold slightly and then she said with a solemn face, "Mom,

you have to help me with this matter!"

"Okay! Tell me, how can I help you?" Mrs. Holmes nodded.

"You have to go to my uncle's house and tell him everything about Ruby and Julian. Tell him more about Ruby.

Anyway, she was the one who lured Julian. Tell my uncle everything you can tell. It would be best to persuade him to

find a family for Ruby and marry her right away. Otherwise, it would be too late if she gets pregnant. Anyway, you

can do whatever you want with this matter."

Mrs. Holmes nodded her head. “Yes, I understand. Ruby ,that lass, was indeed a little too much. This time, she can't

blame this aunt of her!"

"Mom, then you can go after eating." Vivian did not want to drag it out at all.

"Then who will take care of you?" Mrs. Holmes asked worriedly.

Vivian thought for a while and took the phone from the bedside table to call Hannah. She put the phone beside her

ear, "Come back immediately."

Mrs. Holmes made lunch for her daughter and left the hospital.

Ruby's family lived in a village in the suburbs. Although it was said to be the suburbs, it was actually a small village.

Mrs. Holmes hailed a taxi and went straight to Ruby's house.

Along the way, she thought of her daughter being chased out of the Cooper Family because of Ruby. She was very

angry. She felt that Ruby was very ungrateful.

Ruby was the third oldest in the family, and there were two older sisters on top of her. They were all married, and

besides her, there was also a younger brother in the family. Previously, because her parents wanted a son, they

spent a lot of money in multiple abortions and surgeries. Ruby’s brother, on the other hand, was born then.

Ruby's father had been desperately trying to earn money to pay off his debts all these years, but he had been

infected by illness all over his body. So their family condition could be considered very bad.

Mrs. Holmes sat in a taxi for half an hour, only then did she arrive at Ruby's home. Mrs. Holmes paid the fare and

got out of the car. She looked at the fence door in front of her and raised her hand to tidy up her clothes before

taking her bag and walking over.

Mrs. Holmes raised her hand and pushed open the fenced door, walked into the yard.

At this time, Ruby's parents were all at home. When they saw Mrs. Holmes, they immediately invited her with great

respect.

"Sister, why are you here?" Ruby's father looked gratefully at Mrs. Holmes.

Ever since his daughter Ruby entered the Cooper Family to be a servant, the situation of the family had also

improved a lot. Especially the 100,000 yuan that Ruby brought back a while ago, it solved the urgent situation in the

family and also gave Ruby's father a chance to see a doctor.

"Brother, how is your health?" Mrs. Holmes put on the appearance of a big sister and walked to the table to sit

down. She first looked at Ruby's father with concern.

Ruby's father first instructed his wife to prepare tea before looking at his cousin. "Sister, this time we have really

made a loss to Vivian. Ever since Ruby got the 100,000 yuan last time, I went to the hospital for surgery. You see,

my body is much better now. It's all thanks to Vivian!"

When Mrs. Holmes heard Ruby's father's words, she immediately let out a heavy sigh. She saw that Ruby's mother

had already prepared the tea and poured herself a cup. She reached out her hand and blew lightly on it before

placing it on the table and looking at the two of them.

"Sigh. Brother, when I first introduced your daughter Ruby to Vivian's home, I did it for the sake of your family's

good because I felt that your conditions were a little poor. Since Vivian was pregnant and want someone’s help, I

asked Ruby for this. I also wanted to help you by this. Don't you think so?"
