Chapter 1782

She Was Scared

Arielle stroked Lena’s head and replied gently, “It’s okay. She knows you didn’t mean it.” Lena nodded.
She wanted to look for Abigail and apologize to her. As that thought crossed her mind, she sprang to
her feet.

Then, she turned to Arielle and said, “Mommy must be crying. I have to go and comfort her. Why don’t
you come with me?”

In truth, Arielle felt that it wasn’t a suitable time for her to meet Abigail. However, she could not bring
herself to turn Lena down. Who could ever say no to such an adorable little girl?

“All right. I’ll go with you.” Having said that, she got up from the lawn and walked back toward the
house while holding Lena’s hand. They were just about to approach the corner when they saw Abigail
heading toward them.

Noticing Abigail’s reddened eyes, Lena released Arielle’s hand at once and dashed toward her mother.
She nestled her head against her mother’s chest and murmured, “I’m sorry, Mommy. I shouldn’t have
said I hated you.”

“I’m sorry too. I shouldn’t have slapped you.” Abigail reached out and gently lifted the head pressed
against her chest, fixing her eyes on Lena’s cheek.

When she saw the handprint on the girl’s face, she felt as though a dagger had stabbed her through
her heart, and her tears started flowing. Abigail placed a hand gently against Lena’s face and gazed at
the latter with a pained expression. “It must hurt, right?”

Considerate of her mother’s feelings, Lena shook her head and responded, “Nope.” Regret washed
over Abigail as she gazed at her thoughtful daughter and drew the latter gently into her arms.



Not wanting to make Abigail feel sad again, Lena sensibly changed the subject. She moved away from
Abigail’s embrace, then pointed at Arielle while introducing her to her mother. “Mommy, this is the lady
helping Daddy to get better. She said that after Daddy recovers, you will be able to give me a baby
brother.”

Abigail had actually noticed Arielle when the latter entered the living room earlier. However, she could
not get more information at the time due to the circumstances. Now, after listening to Lena’s words, her
heart suddenly sank.

Can Micah truly get better? And what will happen if he does? With my body’s condition, I’m unable to
conceive anymore. Don’t tell me I’m supposed to let another woman give him a son. Whenever I think
about another woman having Micah’s children again, my heart invariably aches. Even though he loves
me dearly and my position is unshakeable, I still don’t want that to happen. I only tolerated him fooling
around with others previously because I knew there was no way they’d have his children. But now, I’m
a little scared.

Turning to Arielle, she asked, “Will Micah really be able to recover?”

Arielle nodded. “Yes. You’ll be able to see a difference after half a month.”

After saying that, Arielle studied Abigail carefully. Noticing that the latter did not look happy but worried
instead, realization dawned on her.

“You don’t have to worry either. I can help you get better too, and you’ll surely get pregnant again,”
Arielle said as she looked at Abigail.

A light flickered in Abigail’s eyes when she heard that. She gazed at Arielle with a hint of incredulity,
wondering how the latter knew about her body’s condition and that she could not conceive again.



As those questions ran through her mind, she voiced them aloud to Arielle.

“I’m a doctor. I can tell with just a glance,” Arielle responded with a faint smile.

Over in Chanaea, Rayson’s heart lurched as he stared at the message on his phone.
