Chapter 288 – Tess Baker, You Will Not Be Kept Alive
“… He’s in the restroom.” Tess Baker said hesitantly. I wonder what Puppy White and David Gate will think after seeing the injury on the senior’s face.
Puppy White, too embarrassed to look inside, sat down, quietly, not at all like the woman who had always been enthusiastic after meeting Tess Baker before.
“Sister-in-law, wait a minute, I’ll go get my brother.” David Gate hated Tess Baker to the core and didn’t want to stay here a second longer and walked straight in the direction of the bathroom.
Puppy White doesn’t like this style of her sister-in-law’s much, but doesn’t stop it, and she doesn’t want to see Mrs. Carter right now, it’s too embarrassing.
The ward was quiet and the atmosphere was slightly eerie.
The little guy looked at this pretty aunt he didn’t know and always felt that something was very wrong between this aunt and Mommy.
“Brother, what happened to your face? Who hit you?” At that moment, David Gate’s worried questioning voice came from the bathroom.
Dennis Gate said with disbelief, “Accidental bump, big deal.”
“No way, this is definitely a human hit!” David Gate said decisively.
Tess Baker listened to the discussion in the restroom, embarrassed to the core, made even more so by the quiet air.
Puppy White couldn’t care less about being embarrassed, she stood up and rushed in the direction of the restroom, “Is Dennis hurt?”Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a scuffle from inside.
Puppy White and David Gate were agitated while Dennis Gate kept explaining in an effort to calm the two down. But it didn’t do much good, and the two men came out of the restroom inside looking ugly as hell.
David Gate even didn’t hide his hatred for Tess Baker, “You’re a married woman with a husband and children, how can you have the nerve to keep seducing my brother! I already have a sister-in-law, please stop being a bitchy mistress, count on me to beg you, okay?!”
Her face was red, and flames called anger shot from the bottom of her eyes.
That was a really hard thing to say, and the little guy tightened his little face and wrinkled his little brow.
He walked up to David Gate and bowed first, “I’m really sorry for causing Uncle Gate to be beaten. But I was the one who called Uncle Gate here last night, it has nothing to do with my mommy, so please apologize to my mommy.”
“Who am I to apologize to a vixen?” David Gate snorted coldly, “Children taught by a vixen really do not have the right outlook!”
“Long, song!” Dennis Gate warned with a displeased look on his face.
David Gate’s eyes cracked in anger, “This vixen has gotten Grandpa killed and caused you to be beaten several times, and you still favor her?”
“You almost got Tess Baker killed in one last time, she doesn’t owe us anymore.” Dennis Gate explained with a frown.
“Not owed? Where’s the good in that!” David Gate’s face was all twisted, “Grandpa is dead, but she is still alive, how can it be the same? Even if she and the wild seed in her belly are dead, it can’t be written off!”
What’s a vixen like Tess Baker, how can she be compared to grandpa?
“Enough said?” Tess Baker’s voice had gone cold; she could tolerate David Gate calling her names, but she couldn’t tolerate David Gate calling her children names, and over and over again!
“Not enough!” David Gate pushed past Dennis Gate, who was trying to stop her from talking, and walked over to Tess Baker, looking viciously straight at her, “Bad woman like you, I curse you to have a child and give birth to a stillborn baby, and experience the pain of losing a loved one just like I did!”
Snap!
Tess Baker sank her face in and slapped David Gate across the face.
She could overlook the push David Gate gave her in the bar, the slap he gave her and the vicious rant he gave her, but she wouldn’t allow David Gate to curse the baby in her womb!
David Gate covers his face in disbelief and backhands Tess Baker as if he were hitting him.
Tess Baker grabbed her hand, a cold light in her eyes, “You were indulged in the past because of guilt, but you can’t be reckless because of that guilt!”
She indirectly got Master Gate killed, and David Gate almost got her killed in one.
She caused The Gate Group to be suppressed and now helps the seniors put the potted plant with the bug in Bowen Carter’s office.
Nowadays she really didn’t owe the Gate family anything, and even if she did, it was owed to the senior personally, and had nothing to do with David Gatea!
“Enough!” Dennis Gate grimaced and yanked David Gate out of the hospital room without even having the face to say a word to Tess Baker.
Puppy White walked up to Tess Baker, still with hostility under her eyes, but not like that time at the bar when her sanity was all but gone, “Mrs. Carter, if you really think of Dennis as a friend, keep your distance from him from now on. You’re going to get him killed if you keep this up.”
“… will.” Things had come to this after all, and Tess Baker couldn’t tell what was going on in her heart, some frustration and some hard feelings.
Puppy White nodded, and as he walked to the door, he turned around again and said hesitantly, “If you can, Mrs. Carter should not see or contact Dennis again.”
She couldn’t ask Dennis, so she had to ask Mrs. Carter!
“I have another collaboration with him, and when it’s over, I will.” When The Gate Group gets the one it wants to take, she takes the potted plant out of Bowen Carter’s office and won’t be in touch again.
Puppy White wanted to say ‘What collaboration? I’ll just hand over the rest to you’, but was afraid that if she did that and Dennis found out, he’d hate her for it.
Finally, she swallowed the words into her stomach, said nothing more, and left the ward.
The hospital room, which had been a mess just a moment ago, was instantly quiet and somewhat excessively empty. Tess Baker sat on the hospital bed, only to feel that her heart was also empty.
Because of Bowen Carter, she’s without her workmates and friends, but what about him? He’s got Wendy Summer and he doesn’t want her either.
What else does she … have?
“Mommy, did I do something wrong?” The little guy cautiously came up to her, as if he’d called Uncle Gate and Jagged Daddy and the two aunts were the ones who’d misunderstood Mommy!
Tess Baker looked down at him with a gleam in her empty eyes, “It’s okay, it’s not your fault.”
She doesn’t have nothing left. She still has her son!
The little guy nestled in her arms and sulked. Mommy said she didn’t blame him, but he still felt like he had done wrong and gotten Mommy in big trouble.
But last night, he really didn’t know who to ask for help except Uncle Gate!
“Don’t get any ideas, it’s none of your business.” Knowing her son like a mother, Tess Baker could see right through what the little one was thinking, “But in the future, don’t call your Uncle Gate when something happens to me.”
The little guy whimpered oh, wondering, “Aren’t Uncle Gate and Mommy good friends? Why would those two aunts be upset when I called Uncle Gate when you were sick?”
Hearing this, Tess Baker didn’t know how to go about explaining the hookups between adults that she didn’t want to tell her son about.
She licked her dry lips and her voice was soft, “Your Uncle Gate is getting married, he is treating me well and your Uncle Gate’s wife will be unhappy. So in the future, don’t look for your Uncle Gate for anything related to me.”
