Chapter 428 – The Child Has Septicemia
“I’m not sure. Maybe just as you can’t afford to move her, she can’t afford to move me.” Tess Baker laughed shallowly.
Master Si snapped and swept several plates and bowls off the table, exiting the small dining room in a huff.
It was only until his back disappeared in the doorway that the curve of Tess Baker’s mouth disappeared a little and turned into a bitter smile.
Her own mother was good or bad and there was Master Si to worry about, what about her?
Her blood relatives treated her worse than a stranger!
“Phew–” Tess Baker took a deep breath and picked up the porridge bowl. Think so much for what, she has two children is good … also do not know Linda looking for the child to find how well, also do not know that child, whether it is still alive.
…
Moonchild Center.
The fat woman, Mark’s big sister, led Linda Mark to the door of the moon center and rambled, “Originally, Grandma Master Carter divorced Master Carter, so I didn’t have to help Grandma Master Carter, but she’s the one person who sort of helped me out, and I’m just …”
Linda Mark really wasn’t in the mood for her bullshit and asked eagerly, “Are you sure the kid is here?”
“I suppose so.” Big Sister Mark wrapped her mink coat around her and tried to remember, “I remember my cousin telling me that her neighbor had given birth to a dead baby and then somehow came back to life. And this neighbor of hers was in the same hospital as Grandma Master Carter, I think …”
“All right! Whether this is Tess’s baby or not, we at THE Mark Group owe you a favor!” Linda Mark hurriedly interrupted Big Sister Mark and rushed in.
Since we’re in a monthly center, there should be nothing wrong with the baby!
Hearing this, Mark’s big sister followed her beautifully, raising her hand in exchange for one of THE Mark Family’s favors, a score she had earned!
“Hello, who are you looking for?” A staff member of the moon center asked just as Linda Mark entered.
Linda Mark didn’t know what the woman in labor was called and craned her head to look at Big Sister Mark.
Mark big sister hurriedly jogged two steps over, panting and said, “We are looking for Liu Jia, please take us over ….”
Upon hearing the word Liu Jia, the staff member had turned pale and interrupted in a slight panic, “I’m sorry ma’am, we don’t have Ms. Liu Jia here.”
Linda Mark’s face changed color, already ironclad things, why suddenly come to this?
“It can’t be!” Mark’s elder sister glanced at Linda Mark and saw that she was upset, she also got anxious with her, “My cousin told me that Liu Jia came to you guys right after she gave birth, I’m not mistaken.”
“I’m sorry two ladies, but we really don’t have Liu Jia here, please …” Before the staff could finish their words, they were interrupted by a woman’s yelling-
“My daughter was just born fine, how come she got sepsis in a few days after coming to you? Your monthly child care center is definitely responsible for this!”
Linda Mark looked over to where the voice was coming from and entered a very tacky and mediocrely dressed woman, the woman should have just given birth and looked a little frail.
And beside the woman stood a woman in her fifties or so, presumably the woman’s mom or mother-in-law.
Mark’s older sister froze for a moment at the sight of the woman, then took out her cell phone and glanced at it, coming over to Linda Mark and saying, “This is Liu Jia, my cousin gave me her picture.”
Linda Mark, who had just felt that it was not a matter of concern, turned extremely ugly as soon as she heard these words.
This woman named Liu Jia said the child had sepsis?
“Ms. Liu, you’ve only been in our moon center for two or three days, how could the matter of the child having sepsis have anything to do with us?” As soon as she saw Liu Jia, the staff’s face was filled with impatience, “We’ve made this matter very clear, we’ll call the police if you come here to cause trouble again!”
“Call the police, you call the police!” Liu Jia was furious to the extreme, “Your monthly child center had problems with my child’s umbilical cord, causing her to get sepsis, and now you dare to call the police?”
“Hey, be reasonable! Other women in labor are fine with us, but not with you? I think you’re just poor and have no money to spend, trying to blackmail us for money!” The staff said in a sharp voice.
Liu Jia was so angry that she couldn’t speak, took off her shoes and threw them at the staff, but on the contrary, her mom didn’t know her mother-in-law, and she was like an onlooker from the beginning to the end, and she couldn’t see any urgency.
Liu Jia and the staff get into a tizzy, and Mark’s big sister anxiously asks Linda what Mark should do.
“What’s going on with this kid?” Linda Mark asked as she ignored Big Sister Mark and walked right up to the older woman who was not worried about the baby.
The old woman gave her a faint look, “Our family’s business has nothing to do with you.”
“Liu Jia gave birth to a dead baby boy, and this girl is someone else’s, right?” Linda Mark tried to smooth out her emotions.
Hearing this, the old woman’s face was a bit flustered, but she was still trying to maintain her composure, “You … don’t talk nonsense, I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”
Linda Mark, whose patience was running out, pressed both hands directly on the old woman’s shoulders and asked through gritted teeth, “I’m going to ask you one more time, is this girl with sepsis one of your family?”
Not waiting for the old woman to answer, she added, “Think before you answer, or don’t blame me for calling the police and sending you to jail!”
Her voice was not small, and hearing this, Liu Jia, who was still arguing with the staff, froze, her eyes full of unbelief, and trepidation.
“Don … t call the police!” The old woman was frightened by Linda Mark’s ruthlessness, “The child is not … not the one I switched with, it’s a woman who gave me two hundred thousand dollars and non… had to switch with me!”
Liu Jia had been completely dumbfounded, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
“The child was born dead, a woman said, as long as we change the child with her, she will give us two hundred thousand dollars. Jia Jia, I … I am also for your good ah, you still can not earn a hundred thousand a year, and besides this … this is a dead child … “The old woman explained in a panicked manner.
Linda Mark was not in the mood to listen to all the bad things that were going on in their family, and she couldn’t be bothered to find out who had done it, right now she only had one thing on her mind, “Where is the baby now? Did you send her to therapy?”
If something really happened to the child, she … she didn t dare to think about it anymore!
Liu Jia followed suit and rushed over, her face a dead gray but with a frantic look, “Then where’s my child? Mom, where is my child?”
…
The old woman is not quite heartless, after the child got sepsis, she and Liu Jia sent the child to the hospital.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“I take this two hundred thousand take the loss of heart, do not dare to treat this child again, but also Jiajia and the child sent to the moon center, but did not expect the moon center will cause this kind of thing.” The old woman said, “Now you have also found the child, you can not call the police, right?”
Linda Mark looked at the sleeping baby, her face grim to the core.
