Chapter 149 Bunny Calls Alice Child's Brother
Could this child be related to the Wilson family bloodline?
In this generation of the Wilson family, Daniel was ruled out, and William was definitely impossible too.
Francis Wilson and Jason Wilson were both sons of Daniel's uncle Dwayne Wilson. They were already married with their own children.
Clifton Wilson was Juno's biological brother, both children of Alaric, but Clifton and Daniel's relationship was just so-so.
If the child belonged to any of them, Daniel had no reason to meddle, let alone go through all this trouble to hide it.
Just then, the elevator doors opened.
Scarlett didn't think much more about it. She didn't want to share the same space with Alice for another second and stepped out of the elevator.
But Alice suddenly spoke up from behind: "Scarlett, weren't you going abroad? If I'm not wrong, Daniel found out about your pregnancy and came after you, right?
Daniel actually does like children. Before my baby was even born, Daniel bought him an asteroid as a gift. I wonder what surprise Daniel has prepared for the child in your belly?"
"Alice's baby is Mr. Wilson's, so of course Mr. Wilson treats Alice well for the baby's sake. But according to what Ms. Lewis said, Alice's baby isn't even Mr. Wilson's, yet Mr. Wilson still treats our Alice so well. Why would that be? It can only be because of lingering feelings," Laura said with a light laugh.
Alice's words clearly implied that Daniel didn't love Scarlett, and only came after her because he found out she was pregnant.
And the matter of Daniel buying the naming rights to an asteroid as a gift for Alice - Scarlett naturally hadn't forgotten. It was like a thorn stuck in her heart that she couldn't pull out.
Laura's words made Scarlett even more uncomfortable.
But Scarlett didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing her humiliated. She walked out of the elevator, then turned back to look at Alice.
"You're just talking to yourself. Your jealous look is more entertaining than a monkey performing. Thanks for putting on such an effortful show, but unfortunately I didn't bring my purse today so I can't tip you. I'll make it up next time."
After speaking, Scarlett flashed a bright, carefree smile, waved her hand, turned and walked away.
Alice's clenched fists immediately started shaking uncontrollably.
She stared at Scarlett's retreating figure with sinister eyes.
"Bitch! A fake socialite like her - me, jealous of her? Ridiculous. All she knows is how to use pregnancy to keep Daniel! No wonder she dared to make a scene about divorcing Daniel. She calculated that Daniel would have to try to keep her for the sake of the bastard in her belly. Playing hard to get, putting on an act - what a schemer!"
She would never let Scarlett just get everything like this!
The moment Scarlett turned around, the smile disappeared from her face.
She had to admit, Alice knew how to get under people's skin.
Even though Scarlett knew Alice had no morals, and knew she couldn't believe everything Alice said, Scarlett was still very angry.
So much so that when she pushed open Daniel's hospital room door, her face was covered with a layer of frost.
When Daniel saw her return, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face. Daniel reached out his hand toward Scarlett.
"Why were you gone so long?"
Scarlett walked over, but raised her hand and slapped it heavily into Daniel's palm.
"Daniel, you must explain to me clearly today what's going on with the child in Alice's belly. Otherwise, I'm still taking Bunny abroad!"
As Scarlett spoke, her eyes started to well up. She put her hands on her hips, looking like a little cat arching its back in a show of bravado.
Daniel was slightly surprised. He reached out to pull her waist, bringing her to the bedside and holding her as he asked.
"Did you run into someone out there? What happened?"
Scarlett glared at him. "Stop changing the subject!"
Daniel's thin lips pressed together slightly. "You'll find out about this matter later."
Seeing that he still avoided talking about it, Scarlett felt endless disappointment welling up inside.
Thinking of Alice's smug and confident look just now, Scarlett stared at Daniel with a smile and asked again.
"So after Bunny is born, will he have to call Alice's child 'big brother'?"
Daniel clearly didn't notice that Scarlett's smile already concealed dissatisfaction. He held Scarlett's waist, seemingly not thinking there was any problem with this, and nodded slightly.
"That child will be a bit older than Bunny. If it's a boy, he should be called big brother. It won't be lonely for the two children to grow up together like brothers."
Scarlett's heart went cold. Bunny calling that child big brother, and having to get along like brothers.
Would Alice also constantly appear in her life?
If Scarlett's child was lonely and needed siblings, she could have a second child or even a third child. Did she need Alice to give Bunny a big brother?
Scarlett was disgusted to death!
Scarlett laughed coldly, her voice turning cold.
"What if I say I'm not willing? I don't like Alice, and I won't like her child either."
Daniel's brows furrowed slightly, his voice somewhat heavy.
"Alice is Alice, the child is the child. Scarlett, no one's asking you to like Alice, but surely you're not so petty that you can't even tolerate a child?"
He was angry. Just moments ago he had been gentle and considerate, but now touching on the issue of Alice, he was angry with Scarlett.
So, not being able to accept Alice's child meant Scarlett was narrow-minded?
Scarlett reached out to pull at Daniel's arms wrapped around her waist, struggling.
"Yes, I'm petty, selfish, narrow-minded and can't tolerate people. This isn't the first day you've known me."
"Stop being unreasonable!"
As Scarlett struggled and pulled, her fist accidentally hit Daniel's waist and abdomen. Daniel suddenly groaned in pain.
Scarlett froze. Seeing his handsome face turn pale and a thin layer of cold sweat appear on his forehead, even though she was angry, she couldn't help feeling anxious and heartbroken.
She remembered that his injury was ultimately because of her.
She barely suppressed her anger and grievance, helped him lie down on the hospital bed, and said flatly.
"Rest well. I'll take the imaging films to the doctor and have the doctor come check on you."
If they continued discussing this topic, they would only keep arguing.
Scarlett didn't give Daniel a chance to speak, turned and quickly left.
Daniel recovered from that sharp, tearing pain and looked up at her retreating figure with a frown.
Scarlett left the room and went straight to the doctor's office.
At the corner of the hallway, Laura watched Scarlett close the doctor's office door before going to the nurses' station.
After making some inquiries, Laura quickly went upstairs to Alice's hospital room.
"What's going on? What is Scarlett doing at the hospital?"
Alice asked impatiently. She had just seen Scarlett go to the surgical ward and found it strange, so she sent Laura to investigate.
"Mr. Wilson was injured, stabbed with a knife. He went into the operating room last night and was covered in blood when he was brought in. The nurse said he lost a lot of blood!"
Alice sat up from the hospital bed in shock. "How is that possible? Daniel hasn't left Shadow City these past few days. Who in Shadow City could hurt him?"
"I slipped a nurse some money, and she quietly revealed that when the police came to take statements this morning, she overheard a few words, something about Jake seeking revenge. I'm guessing it was Jake's mother Wren."
Laura's expression was grave, and she was somewhat panicked.
"Alice, this has blown up so big. If Mr. Wilson investigates Jake's matter further and finds out we were involved, what do we do?"
Laura couldn't help being afraid. Alice's expression also showed a moment of panic. She gripped the bedsheet and said through gritted teeth.
"It won't happen. When the incident occurred, they didn't find out about us, so it's even less likely now. That guy called Gavin - give him another sum of money and have him stay in the countryside for another year or so. He absolutely cannot return to Shadow City!"
Back then, it was Laura who instructed the middle-aged man Gavin Dixon to go to the Mermaid-themed Restaurant to slander Scarlett, and seduced the waitress Nola who was jealous of Scarlett. Nola then told Jake about those things.
That's how Jake was led to try to assault Scarlett. After the incident, Laura gave Gavin money to flee to another place and hide.
Alice never expected this matter still wasn't over, and now Daniel was injured because of it.
Of course she was afraid of being found out as the mastermind behind it all.
"Okay, I understand." Laura nodded.
Alice thought for a moment, then picked up her phone and called Blair.
After all, Daniel was injured for Scarlett's sake. Such good news - Alice naturally wanted Blair to know about it too.
