Chapter 214
Upon seeing Skyler’s face getting darker, Mrs. Kelley couldn’t help but remind Mrs. Garber, “Mrs. Garber, adding a family member is a big deal. Let’s wait for the hospital’s test results first.”
“It’s the same whether you check or not. Looking at the way she’s vomiting, she’s definitely pregnant. Sienna’s always wanted a grandson, and now her wish is finally coming true. We should definitely celebrate.”
Mrs. Kelley…
Skyler ignored her and walked over to Sienna, whispering softly, “Mom, Robinson’s already contacted the hospital. Let me take you to rest first. You’ve been standing for too long.
Sienna had a joint replacement surgery, so she couldn’t stand for long periods. So she didn’t refuse.
The group left, leaving Mrs. Garber standing there in a daze.
She asked belatedly. “Mrs. Kelley, why do I feel like Sienna’s not too happy?”
Mrs Kelley smiled faintly, “If the Reed family has good news, Sienna will naturally be happy, but we need to see if it’s really good news first.”
Mrs. Garber was confused, “Isn’t pregnancy good news?”
Mrs. Kelley smiled softly. “Mrs. Garber, there’s a saying called ‘less talk, fewer mistakes”.”
With that, she didn’t wait for Mrs. Garber to open her mouth again before turning and walking away from the crowd.
In the lounge, Liam laid her down on the sofa.
Celeste laid weakly on the sofa with a pale face, looking unwell.
Mason brought back a cup of warm water just in time to see Liam wiping the sweat off Celeste’s forehead
He hesitated for a moment before handing the cup over, “Liam, let her drink some water first.”
Liam took the cup, looked at Celeste, drank a sip himself and proceeded to feed Celeste mouth-to- mouth. Celeste’s eyes widened as she slapped his hand away, sitting up and glared at him, “Are you joking?!”
Was this some kind of romantic drama, mouth-to-mouth water feeding?
Her swift and decisive actions made it hard to believe that she was just weak a moment ago.
Liam swallowed the water nonchalantly and said indifferently, “Done with the act?”
Celeste was taken aback, glanced at the dumbfounded Mason, and coughed, “Yeah, done with the act.”
Then she asked confusedly. “But my performance was so vivid, how did you see through it?”
Liam put the water aside, glanced at her, and said, “You might be able to fool others.”
Celeste…
Liam disdainfully said, “Why pretend to be pregnant? Don’t you know your lie will be exposed as soon as the doctor comes?”
Celeste helplessly said, “You think I wanted to? It was an emergency, and I couldn’t think of anything else. I couldn’t just pretend to be unconscious and scare grandma even more.”
Liam glared at her, “So pretending to be pregnant is considerate?”
“You’re one to talk! Who told you to make a decision for me without asking?”
Seeing the two about to start arguing, Mason couldn’t help but interrupt them, “Celeste, are you alright?”
Celeste immediately dropped her angry expression towards Liam and said a bit embarrassed, “Just a special situation earlier.”
Liam mused internally, had she undergone training on how to rapidly switch expressions?
Celeste explained the origin of the bracelet to Mason, which helped him understand what was going on
It turned out she went through all the trouble just to stop the Reed family from getting that bracelet
She had once sold the bracelet in an illegitimate way, so she had a hunch that tonight was a trap targeting the Reed family, or more precisely, targeting
her
Someone wanted to use the same method she used to mess with her.
“Mr Fletcher, are your aunt and Garfield Reilly really close? Why would she help Garfield sell this bracelet?”
“Garfield?” Mason hesitated for a moment, “I heard from my aunt that it was my uncle’s friend who brought the bracelet to sell, but I’m not sure about the details.”
