Chapter 315
Keira couldn’t help but touch her forehead upon seeing the situation.
….
She had no choice but to follow Mary and Ellis to seek out the specialist who was treating Ellis’s condition.
Ellis said, “Doctor, I want to do a DNA test with the child in her womb!”
The specialist picked up Mary’s test results and, upon seeing that the so-called child was only three weeks in size, his mouth twitched. “Mr. Ellis, it might not be possible at the moment.”
Ellis was taken aback. “What do you mean ‘not possible’?”
The expert explained, “Right now, it’s just an embryo, and it’s impossible to extract DNA. Only after three months can we perform amniocentesis to extract the child’s DNA and compare it with yours. Of course, there is another way right now…”
“What way?”
The expert coughed. “That would be an abortion, where we keep the cells for comparison with yours, but certainly, the child wouldn’t survive.”
Ellis hesitated for a moment.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Mary speak. “I want to keep this baby.”
After the morning’s twists and turns, which continued as she entered the CT room, Mary had already made up her mind to keep the child.
How could she possibly not want to keep it just to prove something to Ellis?
Ellis was still hesitating. If Mary was willing to have the surgery, then maybe this child could indeed be his, but now that she said this…
Ellis snorted. “You want to drag this out for three months? What, do you want to take advantage of me and the Olsen family again for your gain?”
Mary clenched her fists and looked at him. “Ellis, no matter what, the truth will be clear in three months.”
With that, she turned around, grabbed Keira’s wrist, and said, “Let’s go!”
Keira gave Ellis a glare and followed Mary out of the office.
Mary’s eyes were already red as they went straight to the parking lot and got into the car.
Lewis was waiting for them in the driver’s seat. He raised an eyebrow upon seeing this but, being a man of few words, he didn’t ask anything and just started the car.
“Keera, please take me home.”
Mary looked out of the window with a desolate expression on her face.
Her years of unrequited love had led to such a hurtful situation, and it made her a little sad.
Now, she just wanted to go back to her room and hide away.
Keira nodded and set up the GPS for Lewis.
Then she took Mary’s hand and, finding words of comfort difficult, could only say, “Mary, in three months, we’ll bring out the DNA proof and smack him in the face!”
Mary let out a low chuckle and didn’t speak. Her expression was that of self-mockery.
Actually, now that she had calmed down, she felt she couldn’t blame Ellis entirely for this…
Indeed, after years of living in destitution and striving to maintain the pride she had since childhood and making sure her parents could live with more dignity, she climbed up the ranks with all her might.
She had secured many partnerships for Davis Corporation, often negotiated over the dinner table.
Her reputation was never good.
That was why she was misunderstood as a gold-digger and someone who would seduce men… Even Ellis would say she wanted to use him to get something from the Davis family…
The car soon arrived at the Davis residence.
Mary didn’t say much. She got out of the car and instructed Lewis to drive away, facing Keira’s concerned gaze with just a shake of her head.
Keira didn’t say anything else, and after they left, Mary entered the house.
As soon as she stepped in, she saw her parents sitting in the living room, laughing happily. When they saw Mary, her father stood up right away. “Mary, you’ve really done us proud this time! Your uncle just apologized to your mother and me, saying they’ve wronged us over these years…”
Mary smiled at him.
Her father continued, “But your uncle said he sent you a message, and you didn’t reply?”
Mary was taken aback.
Her father went on, “Mary, what your uncle says makes sense. You’re so beautiful. I don’t know why Mr. Ellis hasn’t taken a shine to you, but if you can make Lewis fall for you, then you’ll be the family head’s wife one day! Your uncle said that then, you could have your grandparents buried together!”
Hearing this, Mary looked at her grandmother, who also smiled upon hearing this.
But Mary just felt cold inside.
After the division of their family, their treatment had deteriorated, and Mary’s parents had always pushed her to work hard, to make something of herself… At first, she was told to behave well when she went on a blind date with Ellis, and now they were agreeing with her uncle, telling her to seduce Lewis.
Even her parents and grandmother thought she should use her face for something, and indeed, over the years, they had made her do a few things…
So, what right did she have to blame Ellis for looking down on her…
Mary suddenly let out a snort of laughter.
She looked at her father and said, “Dad, even if I’m just a tool for an arranged marriage, shouldn’t you at least leave me some dignity?”
Her father was startled.
Mary then slowly said, “As for Lewis, I won’t go.”
Her voice was resolute as she went straight into the bedroom.
Before, she lived for her family.
From today onward, she would live for herself and her child!
Ellis also returned to the Olsen family.
His assistant, following him, didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, yet he sensed that his boss was inexplicably angry.
In all these years, there had been no shortage of women who deliberately provoked him; why had he never seen his boss this angry before?
Miss Mary Davis must be different to his boss, right?
With this thought, the two entered the room and saw that Christina, who was already married off, had returned home. At the moment, she was complaining to Ellis’ parents, “I’ve never seen someone so barbaric. I only said a few words about her child, and she slapped me right across the face!”
Mr. Olsen furrowed his brows upon hearing this, “Doesn’t she know who you are? How dare she hit you like that!”
Christina responded, “Yes, I specifically made my identity known, thinking that no one would dare disrespect the Olsen family and hoped to downplay this incident. Who knew that after hearing it, she became even more arrogant!”
Mary’s mother then said, “Did you find out which family she’s from?”
Ellis, listening to their conversation, found it all annoying.
He couldn’t even bother to talk more to them and was about to go upstairs when he heard Christina saying, “I found out. It’s Mary from the Davis family, her attitude was so arrogant…”
Mary’s mother was surprised. “I remember that girl. She’s particularly pretty. She has a child?”
Ellis paused mid-step.
Then he heard Christina continue, “The child isn’t hers; it’s her close friend’s. Her friend’s name is Keera. I inquired about her, and it seems she has business dealings with our Olsen family…”
Mr. Olsen immediately slapped the table in anger, sneering, “Then what’s the point of continuing the cooperation? Cancel it! You’re the daughter of the Olsen family, and she dares to treat you like that?!”
Mary’s mother also frowned. “One should never hit the face when striking blows, and why should a dispute between children escalate to one involving adults? What kind of background does this Keera have that she thinks she can behave like that in Clance? I’ll have your older brother drive her out!”
Mr. Olsen nodded, “Even though you are not our biological child, we have no daughters in our family, and you were raised in luxury as our child, how can you be treated like this?!”
As he finished speaking, he just happened to see Ellis and immediately waved his hand, calling out, “Ellis, come and defend your sister!”
Ellis came downstairs with a cold face, letting out a sneer. “That, I’m afraid, is not possible.”
Mary’s father was startled. “Why?”
