Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Bewitched by Beauty! (Part 2)
If you are really worried about the baby, please help us find the Void. Only by finding the Void and asking her to develop an antidote can the baby get better. Sister, I’m begging you, please contact the Void quickly."
Claire North spoke with emotion, tears almost falling.
"Void? Are you looking for the Void?" Raina North’s tone was somewhat strange when she spoke.
"Yes, this time the poison is aggressive, and even Doctor Shaw can’t solve it. Seeking the Void to save the baby is the best option. If you know anyone who knows the Void, please let us know," Claire said. "Sister, don’t worry. Once we find the Void, you won’t need to step in. I will personally go and plead, even if I have to kneel and kowtow, I will ask the Void to come and save the baby."
Vincent Hawthorne’s expression softened upon hearing Claire’s words: "Indeed, she is the baby’s real mother. As for you, Raina... The Hawthorne Family doesn’t welcome you now. You can leave."
Elias Hawthorne’s face was icy: "Father, I want you to understand that Raina, as my wife, has more right to be in this family than you."
"You!" Vincent was furious: "You ungrateful son!"
"I think you are the ungrateful one!" Old Mrs. Hawthorne could not endure any longer: "You may as well—"
"Mom!" Vincent was infuriated but could do nothing against his own mother. After all, he too had once been unworthy, which was why the old master directly handed the Hawthorne family power over to his son.
Yet even so, he was Elias’s father, the head of the Hawthorne Family, but his son now repeatedly defied him for the sake of this woman, Raina.
Seeing another argument brewing among the family, Raina grew a bit impatient: "I think I’ll just leave for now."
"Raina," Old Mrs. Hawthorne was very anxious: "Your father has been foolish his whole life; please don’t stoop to his level."
Seeing the sincere look in the old lady’s eyes, Raina felt a warmth in her heart: "Grandma, don’t worry. I just have some urgent matters to handle and need to step out for a while."
"Okay, okay, as long as you don’t take it to heart." Old Mrs. Hawthorne glanced at Elias: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and see your wife off."
"Let’s go."
Raina shook her head: "No need. The baby is still in crisis right now, and as a father, you should stay by his side."
Her words implied something deeper.
The baby was poisoned in the Hawthorne Family, which proved that this family was not a safe place, and that everyone in this family except Elias was to be suspected.
Hearing this, Elias did not insist, he watched Raina leave, the affection on his handsome face was apparent.
Claire saw all of this, and the hands at her sides clenched involuntarily, a hateful gleam in her eyes.
Mrs. Hawthorne observed it all, a proper smile on her slightly upturned lips, yet her eyes were as cold as ice.
...
After leaving the medical room, Raina went to the old house to pick up Shea and Casper North.
When she arrived, the two little ones were sitting on the sofa, wearing clothes stained with dried blood, which must have been from the blood the baby had coughed up earlier.
Raina’s heart clenched suddenly.
"Mommy!"
"Raina!"
The two children saw Raina and immediately jumped into her arms.
Raina held them tightly, looking at the little ones’ pale faces with some heartache: "Let’s go."
"Okay."
Casper and Shea obediently followed Raina, and as they were leaving the Hawthorne Family, Shea couldn’t help but ask: "Mommy, how is little brother doing?"
