Because You Are My Lady

Chapter 821

The woman's voice was so loud that it attracted Elaine's attention almost in an instant.

She looked over and asked, "Dr. Perkins, is she talking about you?”

Howard pulled her forward and said, "She's crazy. Just ignore her! Let's go."

Elaine was speechless.

After taking a few steps forward, she heard footsteps following behind them. The woman moved very quickly. Although she was pregnant, she caught up to them very soon and blocked Elaine and Howard's way.

"Howard, why are you running away?!"

Hearing that, Elaine subconsciously glanced at Howard, only to realize that he had turned extremely pale.

"Dr. Perkins..."

"Stand behind me."

Immediately, Howard pulled her behind him.

Not expecting Howard to be so protective of Elaine, the woman felt her blood boiling. She stared at Elaine as if she was looking at her worst enemy.

"Howard, who is this b*tch?" the woman questioned him.

Howard's face turned cold instantly. "Watch your mouth!"

The woman took all her anger out on Elaine. Rushing over in her high heels, she barked, "B*tch! I'll tear you up!"

Howard stopped the woman. "Norissa, are you crazy?!"

"I'm crazy? You're the one who's crazy!" Furious, Norissa Kaur sneered, "Howard, I never expected you to be so ruthless. How can you have the heart to abandon your own son and hook up with this b*tch?!"

Elaine was stunned. Dr. Perkins had a child?

"Stop talking nonsense!" Howard seemed to be really angry this time. Panicked, he took a glance at Elaine before saying to Norissa, "If you still have some self- respect, you'd better get out of my way!"

"What's the point of having self- respect at this point? This b*tch stole my child's father. There's no reason for me to live!"

Anguished, Norissa began to wail. Not only did Elaine get shocked, but even Howard was caught off guard.

Elaine was not afraid of being scolded by Norissa because she was innocent.

However, she was afraid that Norissa would make Howard look bad....

Pondering for a moment, she went over and tried to help Norissa up. "Miss, can you please get up first? How about you and Dr. Perkins go to a quiet place to talk, and I..."

"Shut up!" Losing all sense of rationality, Norissa refused to listen to her. "You two-faced b*tch! Stop pretending to be kind!"

Helpless, Elaine replied, "Nothing is going on between Howard and I. Don't get the wrong idea..."

"The wrong idea?! Who said I got the wrong idea?!" Norissa sneered and was about to jump at Elaine. Fortunately, Elaine was already prepared. When she saw Norissa move, she quickly stepped back, causing Norissa to trip and fall directly to the ground.

Things got worse now!

Sitting on the ground, Norissa covered her baby bump and began to scream at the top of her voice, "Ah... My baby, help me call the police. This b*tch wants to kill me and my baby! It hurts..."

Seeing her antics, Elaine thought Norissa was as good as her mother. They were both undefeatable when it came to making a scene.

Feeling disgusted, Howard took Elaine's hands

and shouted, "Let's go!"

Right when Elaine was about to leave with Howard, she suddenly saw a red spot on Norissa's lower body. Shocked, she exclaimed, "Wait... I think something is really wrong with her!"

Howard turned his head, and indeed, Norissa's face was pale. Blood was flowing from her lower body.

Quickly, Howard picked her up and yelled, "Elaine, get the elevator!"

"Okay."

Hurriedly, she dashed towards the elevator.

In the hospital.

Sitting on the cold chair, Elaine comforted Howard, who was sitting next to her. "Dr. Perkins, everything will be fine. Don't worry."

Casting her a glance, Howard nodded.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again, "She suddenly contacted me two days ago and said that she was pregnant with my child..."

Feeling awkward, Elaine did not know how to answer him, so she kept silent.

However, Howard immediately started to tense up. "I only spent a few days with her before Thanksgiving. Don't get me wrong. I never met her once after Thanksgiving. After I confessed to you, I deleted all the other women's contacts..."

"I'm not getting the wrong idea or anything." Resting her hands on her knees, Elaine smiled, "Well, Congratulations, Dr. Perkins. You're going to be a father soon. I'm sure Grandpa will be very happy knowing this."

Spending the past few days with Ronan, Elaine kept hearing Ronan nag about Howard, who was still unmarried at this age, and how he was yearning to have a grandchild.

If he knew that he was going to have a grandchild soon, he would probably be very happy.

However, as soon as Elaine finished speaking, Howard's face instantly turned dark. "Elaine, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

Upon hearing his words, Elaine was taken aback, "What?" Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Is this how you react after hearing other women claiming that they are pregnant with my child?" Howard was raging. "Don't you mind even a single bit? Are you not jealous at all?"

Confused, Elaine asked, "Why should I mind or be jealous?"

Howard was left speechless.

He swore she was the most dense woman he had ever met!

Howard was so angry that he no longer want to talk to her.

Hence, he made up an excuse. "I need to use the toilet for a while. You wait for me here."

Elaine hummed.

Then, Howard left.

After a while, the door of the operating room opened, and the doctor came out. Elaine quickly stood up and asked, "Doctor, is the patient okay?"

"Are you the patient's family?" asked the doctor.

Unsure how to answer, Elaine said, "I am her friend. How is she doing now?"

"The patient is going into labor now, and she is having an unstable lie, but we will try our best to keep the fetus..." Pausing for a moment, the doctor continued, "She is still resting now. The nurses will send her to the ward later, and she'll have to be hospitalized for a few days."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

Waving his hand, the doctor left.

Elaine stood frozen to the ground. Right when she was about to go look for Howard, a nurse pushed Norissa out of the operating room.

The nurse then called out to her, "Hey, you are the patient's family, right? Follow me to the ward!"

Left with no choice, she followed the nurse to the

ward.

It was a normal ward with two beds inside.

Norissa was still on her IV drip and needed looking after. So, Elaine had to stay and take care of her.

Suddenly, she realized that Howard still did not know that they had already moved to the ward. In order not to disturb Norissa, she went out to call Howard.

As she was about to call Howard in the corridor, she heard two cleaners chatting.

One of them said, "Dr. Perkins is one of the brightest doctors in our hospital. Who would have thought that he would do such a thing?!"

Elaine was stunned for a moment. Dr. Perkins? Were they talking about Howard?"

Come to think of it, this hospital seemed to be where Howard worked.

As Norissa was bleeding furiously earlier, Elaine and Howard were panic- stricken, so they went straight to the nearest hospital.

She could vaguely recall Howard wanting to go to another hospital just now, but she was familiar with this area, and she knew that the nearest hospital was where Howard worked. Hence, she asked him to come here instead.

After that, she heard another cleaner said, "I know, right. Dr. Perkins seems to be a very nice person. I can't believe he actually molested a patient. Also, I heard that he was responsible for the

medical accident as well. Geez, the patient died due to his negligence. His career is probably going to be ruined."
