Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 278

Considering the fact that they were pregnant, the two of them only ordered orange juice. However,

Elsie’s stomach started to ache after she drank the juice, and the bottom of her dress was soaked in

blood.

She immediately called Eve, who then phoned the hospital right away. When Elsie was sent into the

operation theater, Eve quickly called her son. Everything happened so fast that she didn’t even have

the chance to catch her breath.

When Elsie finally came out of the operation theater, Eve was told by the doctor that the former was

fine but the child couldn’t be saved. Immediately, her eyes were filled with anger and she glared at Lyla.

If it wasn’t for them being at the hospital, Eve would have slapped her on the face right away. “Are you

happy now? Lyla, I’ll have you know that you won’t get away with this so easily! Sean will be here soon

and he’ll find out how cruel you are for killing the child inside Elsie!”

At that point, Eve was about to blow a gasket. Before this, Elsie went on to do a test with her and

confirmed that the child she was carrying was a boy. I was about to become a grandmother to a

grandson, but all of this was destroyed by Lyla!

“So what if he knows? Mom, don’t forget that Sean told you to come here and take care of the child

long ago but you and Elsie kept on dragging the matter, which resulted in this. Also, who told you that I

was the one who killed the child she was carrying? I was also drinking the orange juice with her, so why © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

would I want to hurt her and the child?” Lyla’s eyes were cold and she did not have any strength left to

pretend in front of Eve.

“You didn’t do it? Do you really think I don’t know what happened? You definitely put something in

Elsie’s drink! You really are a cruel woman. I’ve already taken what’s left of her drink and ran it through

an inspection. You won’t get away this time!” Eve growled.

Suddenly, Lyla’s expression changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself before she plastered a

mocking smile on her face. “Is that so? Mom, you know my plan so well it is as if you’ve used the same

means too on someone else in the past.”

Eve’s face turned pale the minute she heard that statement. Inside the ward, Elsie was still sleeping

soundly but on the outside, the atmosphere between Lyla and Eve was getting tense. What happened

back then… What happened back then had always been Eve’s secret. Ever since she realized how big

her son’s reaction was toward that incident, she subconsciously told herself that it was all Myra’s fault

and it had nothing to do with her.

In all honesty, she had no say on whether it had nothing to do with her or not. In the past two years,

there were countless times when she wanted to spill the beans whenever she saw her son’s disgust

toward Myra, but she held back the urge to tell him that it was she herself who drugged Lyla and

caused the miscarriage.

Why is Lyla mentioning this to me at this moment? Well, maybe this is just a coincidence. Eve’s fists

tightened immediately and she tried to compose herself. She then stared at Lyla viciously as she

roared, “I knew all along that you are a cruel woman. Don’t think I don’t know that Myra was driven out

of the Chase Family because of your scheme, so you can stop pretending in front of me now!”

“Looks like you do know that Myra was driven out of the family because of my little scheme. What are

you going to do about it, though? You knew about this but you still didn’t stop me!” Lyla sneered at the

woman in front of her who was pretending to be calm. “You want your son to marry someone who not

only can bear him a child, but also has some worth for you to exploit. Now that you’ve seen the video

online, I’m afraid that you feel fortunate that your son has divorced Myra, right?” At the moment, Lyla

felt as though she was going off the rails, but it didn’t matter to her anymore as she only wanted the

Chase Group and the Chase Family. To achieve her goals, she could sacrifice everything. “I’ve also

said that I will never divorce Sean. I’m not Myra, so I won’t let you kick me out of the Chase Family

after you have finished using me! I will forever be the Young Mistress of the Chase Family!” Lyla’s

sharp eyes were now filled with grievance.

“You—” Eve almost passed out in anger but she couldn’t do anything about it. Lyla isn’t as easy to drive

away as Myra. I should have thought of this back when I approved her marriage with Sean. Her chest

heaving violently, she suddenly smiled coldly. “Lyla, have you forgotten why Sean hated Myra so

much? It’s because she killed the child inside you back then. Now that you have harmed the child

inside Elsie, what do you think he’ll do to you?”

“I know that if my position in the family is under threat, I won’t mind telling him how Myra was framed

back then,” Lyla sneered and she was not terrified by Eve’s words at all. She stared at the latter in

hatred as she continued, “Or are you still lying to yourself? Do you really think I don’t know what you

did to me and Sean’s child at that time?”

All of a sudden, Eve’s expression changed slightly but she pretended to be calm. “I don’t know what

you are talking about. I only know that you won’t get away with this!”

“Is that so? Mom, what do you think Sean will do when he finds out that he has misunderstood Myra?

Say, do you think he will try to get back together with her?”

Upon hearing that, Eve immediately took a step forward and slapped Lyla on the face. She then

narrowed her eyes as she thundered, “How dare you threaten me?”

Lyla’s face turned to the side due to the impact of the slap, but she still remained calm as she turned

her head back and stared straight at Eve. “Why wouldn’t I dare to threaten you? Who do you think you

are? Do you really think you are that noble just because you are from the Chase Family? You are just

an arrogant woman who covers yourself in riches just to conceal your rotting core—every part of you is

disgusting enough to make people sick!”

“Lyla Fisher!” No one had ever said these words to Eve. At the moment, she was so enraged that both

her hands were trembling and she really regretted letting Lyla into the Chase Family. “Don’t forget that

you and Sean are still married, which means that I’m still your mom.”

“Then I hope that Elsie’s incident ends here.” Lyla’s eyes were filled with coldness.

“It all ends here…” Eve wanted to continue mocking her but when she saw the darkness in Lyla’s eyes,

she suddenly felt a little scared.

As expected, Lyla knows that I’m the one responsible for her and Sean’s child. If she tells Sean about

this… It would be better if she told him in the past because he would just ignore me for a long period of

time but if she tells him now, it will force him to reconcile with Myra! As Eve thought about her

conversation with Sean just now, her heart immediately thumped because he was mostly speaking up

for Myra. I can’t let Sean go back to that woman; I just can’t!

“Alright, then. I promise you that all of this ends here but you better keep your mouth shut; otherwise,

you will regret it.” Eve tried her best to suppress the anger inside her. I need to hold back my rage for

the meantime but one day, I will make her pay for everything!

After that, she didn’t want to stay here any longer, so she turned around and walked toward the other

end of the corridor straight away. Now that the child inside Elsie is gone, I don’t need to stay here and

look at Lyla’s annoying face!

As Lyla watched Eve leave angrily, a hint of disdain flashed through her eyes.
