Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 207

Chapter 207 The Cause Of Death

That year, Francis was barely ten. His mother, Linda, heavy with child, had just returned home from a prenatal checkup.

Julia bribed the butler and managed to enter the house.

The wife and mistress engaged in a heated argument the moment they saw each other.

Julia stood at the top of the staircase and admonished Linda, “You’re truly shameless. Do you really think bearing a child for Charlie is enough for you to take my place?”

“I don’t need to force you out of the family. The fact that Charlie chooses to be with me is all that matters,” the heavily pregnant Linda said, a hint of smugness dancing in her eyes.

What could possibly wound Julia more than snatching her man away?

Linda reveled in the sight of the Hanks family’s once high and mighty daughter crumbling under the insult delivered by a commoner such as herself. At this moment, she realized that titles didn’t matter at all.

Julia trembled, the rage boiling within her evident in her quivering gaze.

“Linda, to think I once considered you a good friend. Had I known this would happen, I would never have defended you against those insults. I would have allowed those ruffians to ravage you. Then you wouldn’t dare to act all high and mighty in front of me,” Julia spat. Her eyes then darkened as her tone turned frigid. “Do you think you can be a part of the Hadley family just like this? I could take your illegitimate child back to the Hadley family and separate you from your child. Don’t worry. I will take good care of your son and make sure he grows up just fine!”

Her words made Linda’s heart skip a beat, for Linda knew that Julia was taunting her.

How could Julia, who loathed her so, possibly treat her child well?

In a panic, Linda grasped Julia’s shirt and yelled like a mad woman, “I will never hand my son over to you! You will not separate us!”

“What do you think you’re doing? Let me go!” Julia shouted.

Standing by the staircase, the young Francis observed the two quarreling women.

Suddenly, a piercing scream echoed through the house, and Linda tumbled down the stairs, blood seeping from her body.

Although she was rushed to the hospital, her unborn child couldn’t be saved.

Having suffered the physical trauma, Linda would never be able to conceive again.

This tragedy had been a constant source of pain for Linda, and she was willing to endure the
