My Extraordinary Wife

Chapter 503

Chapter 503

Sienna lay in her bed to rest and recover from the miscarriage.

This was especially important as she was not young anymore.

If she did not take care of her body, it would be difficult to conceive again.

Then again, she did not care about that. Given her current status, it would be disastrous for her to get pregnant again.

She would rather lose her reproductive functions.

Despite such feelings, whenever she closed her eyes, she would see an adorable child in front of her.

The child was crawling in circles around her and calling her ‘mommy’.

The moment she pictured such a scene, she would feel an inexplicable urge to cry.

My child, I’m sorry. Mommy failed to protect you. If there is a next life, please find a good mother.

Sienna closed her eyes.

At that moment, the door was gently pushed open and familiar footsteps filled her ears.

She feigned slumber and did not look up.

Dixon had brought a piping hot bowl of red bean soup and stood upright by her bedside.

He had mixed feelings as he looked at the fragile woman.

What is he standing there for? Has he gone mad? What’s there to look at? Why isn’t he going out yet?

Sienna felt that she would not be able to stay still much longer, but at the same time, she did not want to see Dixon.

Two minutes passed, then three, and it slowly turned into ten minutes…

Just when she thought Dixon was about to leave, she felt something warm on her belly.

Sienna froze. What is he doing?

Dixon simply stared at the woman’s flat abdomen and patted her belly with his hand.

There was once a child in here. My child. If only I’d noticed sooner. Maybe this child would still be here.

He felt his heart wrench.

Am I cursed after all? Am I destined to be forever alone? If I’m not cursed, why must the heavens give me a child, only to take him back?

“Aunt Sienna…” Dixon muttered in a barely audible tone.

Sienna did not move or open her eyes.

Dixon had been calling her Aunt Sienna of late.

In the past, he would just call her Aunt.

The Haddock family had a complicated history. After Dixon’s father, the eldest son of the Haddock family, died, Arthur decided to make his second son the eldest in the family register.

Since Sienna married the third of the Haddock siblings, she was ‘promoted’ as well.

No one knew what Arthur was thinking, but after that incident, Dixon stopped calling her Aunt Sienna. He simply called her ‘Aunt’ instead.

Now that he had addressed her in the same way as he had when his parents were alive, Sienna knew that he must have missed them.

Impossible! Could such a cold-hearted man like Dixon actually miss his parents?

Sienna’s mind was in a mess and her eyelashes started quivering uncontrollably.

Dixon noticed this and realized that Sienna was feigning sleep. He called out gently in a coarse voice, “Aunt Sienna, if you’re awake, please drink this.”

Sienna was stunned.

I got found out?

She opened her eyes and met the man’s stern gaze awkwardly.

She drank the red bean soup obediently.

The moment she finished the soup, Dixon called out, “Bring her in!”

Her? Who?

Before she could make head or tail of what was going on, there was a periodic clanging of chains.

A disheveled woman in dilapidated clothes was dragged in by two men dressed in black. Her face was filled with dirt and grime, but Sienna could still discern her features.

After some time, she exclaimed, “Jennifer?”

Jennifer was the eldest child of the Haddock family and Dixon’s aunt as well.

How did she end up in such a state?

Jennifer stumbled forward in tears and knelt before the bed.

She wailed, “Sienna, please forgive me! I didn’t know you were pregnant!”
