Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me

Chapter 714 Postpartum Fallout

"Rest assured? How can I rest assured handing a child over to a father from the entertainment industry?"

This remark hit not only Blake but also Yelena. She was drinking water at first, but upon hearing this, she almost choked. "Cough…"

At the mention of the entertainment industry, Blake suddenly recalled something, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face. He took out his cell phone and started tapping away at the keyboard.

Elspeth only saw him open his Facebook app. After a moment of pondering, she realized what he was up to.

Just as she expected, three seconds later, Facebook exploded. A top singer suddenly announced that he was married and had a child! Obviously, Facebook's servers crashed right away as a result.

Elspeth was initially curious about what Blake had posted, but with Facebook's servers being down, she couldn't even access it. It wasn't until the servers were fixed over ten minutes later that she finally saw the situation in detail.

Seeing Blake's joyful announcement of the birth of his son, she couldn't help but facepalm in resignation. She never expected that this guy's first reaction would be to post on Facebook. While some people might be happy for him, his fans were probably going to cry their hearts out.

Elspeth briefly scrolled through the comments, but her frown deepened the further she went. Some rational fans were okay and gave their blessings to the couple. However, brainless fans started abusing Blake's wife and son in the most offensive manner just because they liked Blake.

Someone commented, 'Blake is so handsome and gentle. I wonder which woman is lucky enough to have him and even give birth to his child.'

Another commented, 'My dreams are shattered! I used to keep saying that I wanted to give birth to Blake's child, but now, there's no hope for me anymore!'

A netizen commented, 'It's not your place to give birth to his child. He already has someone else to do that for him.'

A fan commented, 'Blake has always been pure and innocent. I wonder what wicked means this woman used to successfully become his wife!'

Another fan commented, 'Someone must have drugged Blake and slept with him, then forced him into marriage and had this child. Otherwise, how could he possibly marry a random ordinary woman?'

'I agree with the comment above. It makes a lot of sense.'

'Any random woman can marry Blake, eh? How disgusting.'

'This is so disgusting! I hope her child dies immediately after birth.'

'What a b*stard child! Who knows, maybe the child is someone else's, but she's pinning it on Blake!'

…

Blake simply wanted to post on Facebook to share his news, but he didn't expect to receive so much nonsensical abuse and verbal attacks from these netizens. Worse, instead of targeting him, they directed their harsh words toward Lisa, who didn't have much status in society. Furthermore, they even attacked their child—the product of their love.

Frustrated, he wanted to delete the Facebook post, but Elspeth stopped him. "Why aren't you letting me delete it? So many people are insulting Lisa. What if she sees these later?" he asked.

Elspeth shook her head. "This Facebook post of yours has already spread across the internet by now. Even if you delete it, it'll only make things worse. She'll find out about this sooner or later."

Blake replied, "What should I do, then? I can't let her see all these things and get upset, no? She just gave birth and is still weak at the moment. I'm afraid this might affect her physical and emotional well- being." His concern wasn't without reason, for countless women had suffered from postpartum depression due to emotional distress after childbirth.

Elspeth let out a soft chuckle. "Lisa is technically my sister, too. How could I let her be subjected to such reckless insults?"

"Do you have a solution, then?"

"Of course. Just wait and see," replied Elspeth. She took out her phone and made a call to Harper.

"Miss Elspeth, leave this to me."

Harper was very efficient. In just half an hour, Azure Corporation made a post on its official Facebook page.

Seeing the Facebook post, almost all the people who had been hurling insults at Lisa fell silent. Blake's so-called 'commoner' wife is actually Azure Corporation's vice president, and she even owns 15 percent of the company's shares! If she's considered 'ordinary,' then what are we, who only know to abuse others?

Following that, Elspeth logged into Nancy Star's official Facebook account and made a post on her Facebook page to send her blessings. The post read, 'Congratulations to my sister on marrying Blake Winthrop and giving birth to such an adorable baby! Wishing you both a long and fulfilling life of happiness!'

Sister? Nancy Star's sister?

Seeing the singer they idolized finally go online after such a long time to unexpectedly drop such a bombshell, Nancy's fans were instantly moved to tears of joy. Dear, you're online at last! Consequently, they flooded her Facebook page with well wishes and congratulations. A fan commented, 'She's the younger sister of a famous top singer! With such a strong background, what's wrong with her being with Blake?'

'Nancy's sister has great taste! Wishing them a long-lasting marriage.'

'I've seen Nancy's sister in person, and she's incredibly beautiful. Blake really married above his station!'

'Sending my blessings as a fan of Nancy. All the others can just back off!'

'Those who can't have the grapes are the ones who say they're sour. Stop embarrassing yourselves,

will you? It's distasteful to hurl insults at others without first looking at yourselves in the mirror.'

'So what if Blake chose to be with Nancy's beautiful, rich, powerful, and capable sister? Would he ever be with an internet princess like you, who only knows how to hate on others online?'

'Whoa, whoa, whoa! Weren't you all shooting off your mouths just now? Why the silence now? Have you finally realized your own worth, or did your princess dreams shatter?'

One had to admit that Nancy's fans had an impressive attacking force. With their already large numbers and strong attacks, Facebook quickly became dominated by them.

Those brainless fans who had been fervently hurling insults earlier now began to hide and disappear.

Seeing the positive trend, Nancy's fans gracefully withdrew in satisfaction. Elspeth didn't even need to actively encourage them to do anything, and what they did was already so satisfactory. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

As such, Elspeth made another new Facebook post. 'Thank you all for your support! I'll always remember this. Here's the deal—as a gesture of gratitude to my fans, I've decided to release a new song in June this year, and it'll be dedicated to my sister.'

Ecstatic with excitement, her music fans once again flooded the comment section with another wave of blessings.

After doing all of this, Elspeth swiftly logged out of Facebook.

Watching how she was able to turn the situation around in their favor in just over ten minutes, Blake couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, impressed by her powers of execution.

Elspeth gave him a disdainful look. "Look at what kind of fans you have. As a singer, why do you have so many brainless fans? Perhaps your image as an idol is too burdensome." A genuine singer's most important task is to convey their voice and their music to their fans. Superficial fans who only care about appearances won't remain loyal for long.

Blake scratched his head. "You're right. I'll keep that in mind."

Just then, a nurse emerged from the ward. "The new mother has come around. You all may go in and see her now."
