Chapter 17: The Bastard She Was Carrying​

Matthew nodded slightly. His jaw was inexplicably tight at this moment, which showed how nervous he was. Then he said in a low voice, “Spit out.”


“Eight years ago, Randolph and Jessica got divorced. Then Randolph immediately sent Jessica and their daughter Dolores to A Country. They have never been back in the past eight years. Randolph took them back not long ago.”


Matthew frowned. He was wondering, was this the reason why she could speak A country language? Because she lived there for eight years?


“That’s it?” Obviously, Matthew wanted more information.


Abbott hesitated for a few seconds and then continued, “After Jessica was sent to A country, she gave birth to a boy with autism. That boy lived in a difficult life, and died in a car accident before Jessica and Dolores returned.”


Matthew frowned. His expression got more serious. He couldn’t help guess, the reason Dolores became so sad was because of her brother? Then what happened with the child in her belly now?


Matthew asked, “That’s it? No man has ever been close to her?”


“No…only a psychologist was close to her.” Abbott carefully checked the information sent from the investigator from A Country.


Abbott continued, “That’s it. She didn’t date anyone at school, and no other men were close to her.”


Matthew was thinking, in other words, the child’s father might be the psychologist. And the reason Randolph took her back was only because of their marriage? The reason she cared a lot about money was that she lived a hard life in A Country, which was also why she charged money for translating


Thinking about it in this way, Matthew felt that finally, he understood Dolores more. At the same time, he finally understood what Sampson meant.


Matthew felt complicated. He looked back, then got in the car and left the hospital.


In the hospital, Dolores got hungry because she didn’t eat lunch.


“Mom, I want to eat rice sweets.” Dolores suddenly wanted to eat sweets.


Jessica had been through the same thing. She knew that when a woman was pregnant, she would always prefer certain flavors of food.


As the old saying goes, a woman who prefers the sour taste usually carries a boy, and a woman who prefers the spicy taste usually carries a girl. Jessica wondered was there a boy or a girl Dolores was carrying now.


“I’ll go back and cook it for you.” Jessica got up, at the same time, fearing that no one would take care of Dolores in the hospital.


Dolores understood what Jessica was thinking. She smiled, “I’m fine. Don’t worry. The doctor said I just need to take a rest.” If it wasn’t for worrying about the baby in her belly, she didn’t even need to be hospitalized at all.


Jessica nodded and told her to rest before leaving the ward.


When Jessica got out of the car and walked into the community, she was suddenly stopped by a few women. They all lived in this community. Although it hasn’t been a long time since Jessica moved in, there was never a contradiction between her and others.




Jessica got confused. She frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”


“Is your daughter pregnant before she is married? Isn’t she carrying a bastard?” The first person talking was a chubby middle-aged woman who lived next door to Jessica’s.


“Your daughter looked like a good girl. Unexpectedly, she is a bitch. You told me last time that your daughter is only 18 years old now, right?” The fat woman put her hands on her waist and shouted. Jessica’s expression was so angry and annoyed. Her voice trembled, “You, you are talking nonsense. Who told you that?”


“Do you dare to say that your daughter is not pregnant at all?”


Jessica’s hands trembled. She couldn’t dare to say anything back. Because her daughter indeed was pregnant.


“Shameless bitch!”


“Yes, your daughter hooked up with a man at a young age. She looked like an innocent little girl, but she turns out to be a slut!”


“Yes, she pretends to be innocent, but secretly she is indeed a slut…”


“Shut up! Who gave you the right to say that?” Jessica was so angry that her face was even twisted in anger.


“Don’t blame others to talk about it if she wants to be a slut!”


Jessica felt that her heart suddenly beat so fast out of anger. She put her hand on her chest to calm herself down. And she sternly defended her daughter. “My daughter is not that kind of person you said!” Jessica felt that her heart would be torn apart hearing people trash talking about her daughter.


Why do people slander her daughter so much?


“No? Then why did she get pregnant when she is only 18 years old?”


Jessica suddenly got speechless. After all, it was true that Dolores was pregnant now.


Jessica knew that people would judge Dolores seeing she got pregnant at such a young age, but she didn’t expect that people would trash talk so fiercely.


“Go away!” Jessica pushed them away and quickly walked into the community.


Although Jessica was very annoyed by what they said. However, thinking that her daughter Dolores was still in the hospital, she calmed herself down and started cooking.


Jessica thought she had hidden her feelings very well, but Dolores still felt different when she delivered food to Dolores.


“Mom, you look…”






“I’m fine.” Jessica didn’t want Dolores to know what she heard today.


Dolores stared at Jessica. She knew that Jessica was trying to hide something, because every time Jessica lied, she always looked away from eye contact. So Dolores was sure that Jessica was lying. But Dolores didn’t say anything, instead, she took the rice sweets from Jessica.


The rice sweet was supposed to be sweet, but somehow Dolores felt bitter eating it.


She lowered her eyes, “Mom, I can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, and I will go home to accompany you for a few days.” Dolores thought that Jessica’s face was pale because Jessica missed her younger brother. Her brother’s death was always a pain in Jessica’s heart.


Jessica was startled and resolutely said, “No.”


Jessica knew how sad Dolores would be if she heard what people said today.


Dolores frowned, “Mom…”


“Listen to me.” Jessica pretended to be serious, “No matter what it was for, but you are married in the Nelson family now, you should live with your husband.”


Jessica’s reaction was so abnormal that was impossible to not notice.


Dolores didn’t say anything anymore. She kept stuffing the food in for the sake of the baby. She couldn’t enjoy the food herself at all.


When night came, she couldn’t fall asleep at all.


When she finally fell asleep, it was dawn already. Then she woke up soon.


In the morning, when Sampson came over, Jessica took the chance to go back home and cook for Dolores.


When Jessica walked out of the ward, Dolores got off the bed. Sampson immediately came to help her.


Dolores raised her head to look at Sampson, “I think my mother is hiding something from me.”






“What’s it?” Sampson asked.


“I don’t know, so I want to figure it out.” She hesitated, “I want you to do me a favor.”


“Sure.”


“I want to follow her home.” Dolores wanted to figure out the reason why Jessica didn’t want her to live at home.


Dolores was thinking, Jessica hoped her to go back and stay with her so bad before. However, yesterday when she mentioned, Jessica’s reaction was so weird. Jessica was the only family she had now. She didn’t want Jessica to take all the pressure secretly.


Sampson checked with the doctor before taking Dolores out.


Everything was fine. Jessica went back home as usual.


Dolores followed her behind.


However, when Dolores walked out of the elevator, she saw all different swear words on the wall, such as shameless bitch, unmarried pregnancy, which was written with paint. And Jessica was trembling angrily standing in front of the door. After a few seconds, Jessica fell in front of Dolores.


“Mom…”


Sampson stepped forward and caught Jessica before she fell on the floor, “Send her to the hospital first.”


It was obvious that Jessica passed out because of what was written on the wall.


Dolores choked up and said okay.


Since Dolores’s brother passed away, besides, Jessica got seriously injured from the car accident, Jessica’s health condition was always very poor.


Seeing what was written on the wall, of course, Jessica would be so angry.


Dolores got so worried about her.


Seeing Jessica was sent to the emergency room, Dolores stood at the door panicking as if it would kill her if something bad happened to Jessica.


Sampson came over and hugged her on her shoulders to comfort him, “Don’t worry too much.”


When Matthew returned home and found Dolores hadn’t gone back, he realized that she was in the hospital. So he drove over immediately.


Maybe it was because he knew that Dolores was unfortunate in the past, or because she was his wife, Matthew felt a little compassionate towards her.


Matthew didn’t find Dolores in the ward, but in the corridor when he was about to leave, he saw her and Sampson hugging together.


Suddenly, Matthew felt extreme anger.
