Chapter 4Delivering the Mistress's Child

Nelson froze, unable to refute me. Rosina hesitated briefly before flying into a rage.

"That's a lie! My son would never do something like that!"

A nurse came over to support me.

"Dr. Fairclough, don't stoop to her level. Let's get you out of here..."

But Rosina wouldn't let it go. She grabbed my arm, trying to stop me.

"Hold it right there! Do you think you can just walk away? You owe my grandson an explanation!"

Pain tore through my abdomen, and I felt cold sweat on my forehead. I realized something was very wrong.

I broke free from her grip in desperation, pushing her away. Rosina stumbled back into the wall, clutching her back.

She immediately began wailing dramatically.

"Oh, my head! You've hurt me!"

The nurse snapped at her.

"You hit your back, not your head! Stop lying!"

Rosina whined, "I don't care! Apologize to me, or you'll regret it!"

She turned to Nelson for backup.

"Your mother's being mistreated, and you're just standing there? Do something!"

Nelson, still angry with me from the operating room, saw his chance to lash out.

He marched over, pointing a finger in my face. "Apologize to my mother right now!"

I gritted my teeth through the pain and whispered to the nurse, "I... I can't... My stomach hurts. Take me away, please..."

The nurse tried to lead me away, but Nelson grabbed my arm roughly.

"Where do you think you're going? You're not leaving until you apologize!"

The nurse tried to intervene, only for Nelson to shove her aside.

"Nelson! You'd better see who I am!" I shouted hoarsely.
