Chapter 3 adopted child

A hard slap landed on Bianca's face.

"I had no idea, all this time I've been keeping a viper in my house!" Elena snapped, her voice trembling with emotion.

Bianca held her numb cheek, staring at Elena in confusion.

"Elena, what are you doing? Why did you slap me? And... What did you mean by that?"

Elena took out Nathan's birth certificate and threw it in Bianca's face.

"You're still asking why? Now explain this!"

Seeing the document, Bianca smiled sarcastically. Instead of being afraid or feeling guilty, she laughed wickedly.

"So, you know?" she asked casually.

"You jerk, Bianca! Why did you do this to me? "Elena wanted to slap Bianca again, but Liby stopped her immediately.

"Elena, control your emotions. Don't use violence; this could get you reported to the police for violence. Don't destroy your self-esteem for someone like him," Liby warned her.

Hearing that, Bianca laughed even harder. Satisfied at Elena's stupidity.

"Elena, Elena, you really are stupid. You easily believe everything I say," she said.

"Do you want to know why I'm doing this? "Bianca approached, staring at Elena with a hateful look.

"Because I envy you! You're beautiful, smart, talented, from a rich family, and everyone likes you. Whereas me? I've always been in your shadow." Bianca continued with a hateful voice.

"When your parents died, I thought you would suffer like me. But what happened? The Wright family took care of you, treated you like their own child, and even made you their daughter-in-law! You know, I liked Demian from the start, but what did you do? After graduating from college, you got married without my consent," Bianca explained emotionally.

"So, who is the real bad guy here? You, Elena! You're the bad guy! "Bianca laughed again with satisfaction.

"You're a crazy woman, Bianca!" Elena shouted, her voice breaking with anger.

"Yes, Elena!" Bianca replied in a louder voice." I am crazy. I went crazy because of your mistakes. If you had given me your happiness from the start, given Demian to me, without me asking, none of this would have happened. You wouldn't have lost the baby in the womb and you wouldn't have lost your womb either."

"Baby? What... what are you talking about, Bianca? Are you..."

"Yes, you're absolutely right, Elena. I'm the one who made you lose your baby, I'm the one who told people to harm you when you were back at the shopping center, do you remember that? And... I'm also the one who paid the doctor to remove your uterus, that way you'll never be able to get pregnant again, and I'll take your place." Bianca laughed smugly.

Meanwhile, Elena recalled the moment she had the accident-the event that was the main cause of her losing her baby and her ability to get pregnant again. The doctor at the time decided to remove her uterus for her safety.

At that time, Elena had just returned from the shopping centre. She was eight months pregnant and driving her car alone to buy her personal needs.

But on the way, a truck ran a red light, causing an accident. The car that Elena was riding in was the only victim, but in the news, it was mentioned that Elena was the cause of the accident because she ran a red light.

Because of the accident, Elena lost her baby in the womb due to a hard impact. She also had to have her uterus removed because she was diagnosed with complications.

Since the accident, her mother and father-in-law had changed. But since Elena adopted Nathan, her mother-in-law was kind again. Unwittingly, her kindness was a conspiracy to cover up Bianca's whereabouts and Nathan's status.

"You... Bianca... You really are a woman with the heart of a devil! What did I do wrong? Why did you have the heart to kill my unborn child?" Elena couldn't contain her sadness.

Bianca responded with laughter again, this time with a colder-sounding voice.

"Because I want to take everything from you, seeing you suffer is my wish. And making my child the main heir to the Wright family is my goal. Do you understand that, Elena?"

After saying that, Bianca left with satisfaction.

Elena was shaken; she almost fell, but Liby quickly helped her.

"Elena, are you okay?"

"It's okay, thank you. You helped me again."

Elena got back on her feet and walked away, leaving Liby looking worried.

Elena arrived home at night and found her husband, Demian, back from work.

"Mom, are you home?"

Nathan greeted her enthusiastically.

"Mom, dad has prepared dinner for you. I'll help dad set the table, let's have dinner together," she continued, still with a smile on her small lips.

In the past, Elena would have been happy. Maybe she would have cried with emotion to get attention from her children and husband.

But now, after discovering everything, no warmth was left in her heart.

Only hatred remained.

Without saying a word, Elena passed them, climbing the stairs to her room on the second floor of her residence with Demian.

"Dad, mom, why? "Nathan asked, surprised by Elena's attitude.

"I don't know, maybe your mom has a lot on her mind," Demian replied.

"A lot of thoughts? What is she thinking? She is just an ordinary pharmacist, not doing anything important. Unlike Mama Bianca, a great entrepreneur and international model, "Nathan grinned, looking down on Elena, who was now out of sight.

"Nathan, watch your mouth!" Demian admonished. "If your mother hears you, she might get angry."

Nathan laughed lightly. "Angry? Dad, what's there to be afraid of? Mama Bianca said, And Grandma, she's just a weak woman who can't have children. You should divorce her and make Mama Bianca the mistress of this house."

"Nathan, what are you talking about, you shouldn't..." Deian did not continue his sentence when he noticed Elena's arrival.

"Elena, you're back? Let's have dinner together?" Demian tried to smile, even though he couldn't read the expression on Elena's face.

Elena stepped closer, then said flatly, 'Yes, I will have dinner with you, so if anyone feels they are not part of this family, please leave the table.' She spoke without looking at Demian and Nathan.

Seconds later, the servers around the table did as Elena ordered.

Thinking everything was fine, what Elena said surprised them both.

"You go too, you're just a foundling here. Not from my family!" Talking to Nathan.

The words surprised Demian

"Elena, what do you mean? Nathan is our son,"

Elena smiled lightly.

"Son?" A second later, Elena laughed lightly. 'Whose son? Have you forgotten Demian? Our son is dead, and I can't get pregnant again. So how could we possibly have a child?"

"Elena, don't talk like that! It's not good for Nathan's mental health,' Demian said, his tone of voice restraining his anger.

However, Elena did not show the slightest remorse.

"Mental breakdown, you say? Why should it be destroyed? This is the reality. He is a foster child, not my son. I have no blood ties with him!"

Nathan bowed his head, looking sad at what Elena said.

"Dad, what do you mean? Does that mean you don't consider me your son? "he asked with a trembling voice, almost crying.

"That's not true. I'm just talking. Now, you'd better go to your room," Demian asked gently.

"But, Dad..."

"Go on!" Demian snapped." The maid will bring you dinner later."

Nathan stared angrily at Elena, then left with disappointment visible on his face. But Elena was just as indifferent.

After Nathan's departure, Demian pulled a chair for Elena and said, "Darling, let's eat."

Then he gave an order to the waiter. 'Bring dinner for Nathan."

However, Elena immediately cut him off in a sharp tone.' I won't allow it!"

Demian looked at her with furrowed brows. "Why, Elena? Poor Nathan, he hasn't eaten since earlier."

Elena looked at him indifferently. 'Did I tell him not to eat? So, why should I care?' she said as she began to enjoy her dinner as if nothing had happened.

Demian clenched his fists, holding back his anger again. "Elena, what happened to you? Why do you suddenly hate Nathan? Didn't you used to love him very much? Nathan also loves and cares for you. But why are you saying such terrible things in front of him now?" Demian asked in a disappointed tone.

"That was then, not now, everyone changes, so do you and I,"

"Yes, I know, but whoever Nathan is, you shouldn't talk like that!"

"Do you think I care?" Elena asked, annoyed by his indifferent attitude.

Demian stared at her sharply." So, you don't love Nathan anymore?"

Elena slowly put down her spoon, then stared coldly at Demian.

"You could say that. I'm even thinking of returning him to the hospital or an orphanage. Or... maybe leaving him on the street."

Demian gasped. "Elena!" Demian could no longer contain his anger.

"Are you aware of what you're saying? Nathan is our son! We have taken care of him since he was a baby! We adopted him, and that means Nathan is both of our responsibility!"

Without answering, Elena grabbed a piece of paper from the hospital and threw it at Demian.
