Chapter 251 Fate Plays Cruel Tricks

"Ah!" Maggie screamed. As soon as Baron released Maggie's hand, she felt herself falling and went
straight towards the direction of the tea table.

Bang! A sound of falling and breaking could be heard, making Baron frozen in place. He watched as
everything happened so fast before his eyes. The tea table was now broken into pieces, and there was
Maggie, lying in the middle of the debris. Blood was now flowing out from her body from the impact.

"Ma... Maggie!" Baron stammered in shock. Seeing the unconscious woman lying on a pool of blood in
front of him, he could not help but gasp with eyes wide open. For a moment, he felt paralyzed in shock
and stood there in fear.

His mother heard the noise of falling and breaking, so she was suddenly alarmed and immediately ran
downstairs to assess the situation. "What happened?" she asked as she hurried down the flight of
stairs.

As soon as she saw the bloody scene in front of her, Mrs. Fang gasped in shock and shouted at Baron,
who was still frozen in place. "Why are you still standing there, Baron? Take her to the hospital right
now!"

It was then when he heard his mother's alarmed voice that Baron finally came to his senses. He shook
his head to wake himself up from shock and immediately moved towards Maggie's body to carry her
and took her out of the villa and into his car.

After settling Maggie on the back seat with the help of his mother, Baron hurriedly took the driver's seat
and started the ignition. The nearest hospital from the Fang family's villa was the Gu Group's hospital.
Baron gripped the steering wheel tightly and gave Maggie a quick glance from his rear view mirror.
Seeing the blood now covering Maggie's body made him worry even more, and so without hesitation
he drove in anxiety. His hands trembled as he drove and did not dare look at Maggie again, or he might
faint in worry.



It was not until Baron had finally come to a stop in front of the double doors of the emergency room did
he feel slightly relieved. He called for help from the medical staff and helped them gently place Maggie
on to a wheeled stretcher.

Meanwhile, Harley passed by the door of the emergency room when he saw Baron, completely
covered in blood. He stopped and walked towards him. "What happened? What are you doing here,
and whose blood is that?" Harley asked. In fact, he knew and recognized Baron.

Back then, Kerr used to feel so jealous of Baron.

However, they both had their own families now, so whatever tension they had in the past were all left
behind in the past.

"Mr. Su. What a coincidence," Baron turned to face Harley and answered in a low and distant voice.

As a matter of fact, Baron knew that Harley was Kerr's friend, so it was not entirely a coincidence to
meet him here. However, knowing about Maggie's situation made him care less of whom he was going
to meet around here, whether or not that person was a friend or foe.

Being treated coldly, Harley just shrugged and ignored Baron's attitude towards him. Without another
word, he went into the emergency room, and after a careful inquiry of the patient's situation, he then
walked out.

Seeing that Baron was still distant, Harley left the emergency room without another word or greeting to
Baron, who on the other hand could not care less. He shrugged at himself and walked towards Nicole's
ward.

As Harley pushed the door open, he immediately walked towards Nicole and passed a box of
prescribed medicine to her. "You have to take one in the morning and one at night, and you have to



take it after eating. There's a note inside the box anyway, if you forget." Nicole nodded and took a quick
glance of the box before handing the box casually to Kerr.

Harley waited for either of them to ask any more questions about the medicine, and when they had
none, with a gloating look on his face, he asked, "Guess who I just saw in the hospital?"

Their curiosity was aroused by his sudden question.

Jay raised his hand as if he was in class and said, "I know! I know! Pick me!" Harley smiled at Jay, and
when Harley acknowledged the child, Jay answered, "You saw a patient."

Nicole stifled a laughter and stopped herself from bursting out. Her lips then curled into a smile after
she realized how lovely the answer of her child was. After all, it was a fact that she did give birth to a
smart baby. Although he did not inherit Nicole's personality, Jay was still as clever as Kerr.

Harley did not know whether to laugh or be angry at that answer, so he just rolled his eyes playfully at
Jay and gave Kerr a meaningful look.

However, Kerr chose not to say anything and even pretended to ignore it as he walked over to the
water fountain to grab a cup of water. He then walked back to them, giving Nicole the cup of warm
water so she would be able to swallow the medicine.

Harley crossed his arms and gave another hint. "Well, it is, indeed, a patient, seeing that we are in a
hospital. However, there is something special about this patient." Waiting, Harley stared at the three of
them. Kerr was still focused on helping Nicole take her medicine. Jay looked like he was thinking and
then raised his hand again to answer, while Nicole stared at her child in amusement. When no one was
taking his guessing game seriously, Harley sighed and revealed. "The patient is Maggie Chen, Baron's
wife."



As Harley expected, Nicole's full attention was now on Harley at the mention of Baron's name. She was
surprised for she hadn't heard that name for a long while now. With curiosity, she asked Harley,
"Maggie Chen? Isn't she pregnant and taking a rest at home? What happened?" As far as Nicole knew,
Baron married Maggie, because she got pregnant.

"Hey, hey! You are not allowed to care about other men, darling." Placing the cup of water down to free
his hand, Kerr then reached for Nicole's chin to make her face him and pinched it gently as if warning
her domineeringly. Apparently, he still did not forget that Baron had liked her.

Seeing the pout and soft angry look on Kerr, Nicole smiled faintly and said, "Honey, believe me. I don't
care about other men, just you. What I care about is Maggie and the baby in her belly."

Nicole then held his hand that was still on her chin and gave it an assuring squeeze. She found it
adorable that Kerr was still jealous of Baron even after what they had been through together.

Kerr pouted and asked, "Well, how sure are you that the baby inside of her is not a boy?" As a matter
of fact, he really didn't want her to pay attention to any other men except him. He even sometimes got
jealous of Jay when Nicole only paid attention to the child.

Nicole could not help but smile at how Kerr could get immature at time and shook her head helplessly.

"Well, I don't think arguing about whether or not the baby is a boy is worth it anymore. The baby is now
gone." Harley heaved a deep sigh and shook his head. "You see, when I passed by the emergency
room, I saw Baron covered in blood and so I went in the emergency room to find out what happened.
Maggie might have a miscarriage. It seems like it was caused by a strong hit or hard fall."

However, Harley thought there were other reasons. When he saw Maggie, he wondered why a
pregnant woman had so many pieces of glass debris all over her body. He shook his head slightly at
the thought and could not bring himself to tell them about the sight of Maggie's bloody body.



"Wait, what? She might lose the baby?" Nicole asked in shock. As a pregnant woman herself, who
knew the joys and struggles of carrying a child, she hoped that every pregnant woman would be able to
bear out a healthy baby. Hearing this unfortunate event happen to someone, even worse, someone she
knew, she still could not believe that Maggie had to have a miscarriage so soon.

Moreover, as a mother herself, Nicole knew Maggie would be very depressed if she did have a
miscarriage. Losing a child was the worst thing that could ever happen to a mother and even mothers-
to-be.

Nicole felt saddened by this news, so how much worse was Maggie going to feel.

Seeing Nicole down made Kerr concerned about her, so he spoke before Harley could add fuel to the
fire. "We all know that fate can play cruel tricks at all of us sometimes. Maybe, this was that time, and
that they just did not have that kind of luck at all." Kerr then did not want Nicole's feelings to be hurt
anymore, so he glared at Harley, who was still standing beside him and who looked like he was about
to say something more about the unfortunate event.

"Next time, if you show up here again, bring us some good news, will you? As a medical practitioner,
you should know that pregnant women should not hear any bad news, especially regarding other
pregnant women," Kerr warned and did not want Nicole to hear anything that would gravely affect her
mood.

Looking straight at Kerr's threatening eyes, Harley raised his hand in surrender and said, "All right, this
is my cue to leave. I will disappear now." Before he left, he gave Nicole a wave and reminded her to
take her medicine. Then, he turned his back on them and walked towards the door.

As he reached for the knob of the door, he was stopped by Jay, who was now walking towards him.



"Wait! Uncle Harley, wait for me!" Jay called out. He placed his computer aside on the table and
followed Harley out of the ward.

Coming back to her senses, Nicole was about to call Jay and stop him when Kerr interrupted her. "It's
okay. Let the child wander around. I'm sure Harley will take good care of him, so Jay won't get lost." He
gently caressed her cheek and reassured her, knowing that Nicole was just worried about Jay.

Before Nicole could reply to that, she watched as Kerr's face drew closer and closer towards her.
Knowing that Kerr was aiming for her lips, she raised her hand to cover his mouth quickly.

Kerr pulled away and took her hand off from his mouth. "Hey, hey! What are you doing?" Nicole gave
Kerr a mischievous smile and knew that Kerr was up to no good. As a matter of fact, Nicole was certain
that Kerr had been desiring this moment where it was just the two of them in the ward. Of course, he
was then very happy to watch Jay follow Harley out.

Because with Jay here, Kerr could not get intimate with Nicole for the sake of the innocence of the
child.

"Please? When Jay comes back, I don't know when I can get another chance." He was really serious
about what he said. Seeing that he now held Nicole's hand that covered his mouth moments ago, Kerr
then took advantage of the situation and kissed her.

At this moment, Nicole had no chance of escape and kissed Kerr back, but a minute hadn't even
passed when the door was pushed open.

"Hey! You old man, what are you doing? How dare you bully my mommy while I was away?" Jay
shouted as he saw Kerr holding Nicole's wrist as Kerr kissed her.

Back before Kerr was with Nicole, Jay had always hoped that this old man could be able to take care of
his mommy, but now, ever since Kerr and Nicole got together, Jay started to feel like Kerr was trying to



steal his mommy from him.

Because of that, he regretted giving Kerr so many chances and opportunities to get close to Nicole.

As soon as Nicole heard Jay, she tried to push Kerr away, but Kerr seemed to be determined to keep
going and not caring whether Jay was already back or not, because Kerr stood his ground and did not
let her go at all.
