Chapter 11 Twins
The moment Jodie opened the door, she saw Rachel collapsed on the floor with her nether region stained with piercing red.
Jodie immediately carried Rachel in her arms and charged downstairs as though she was Rachel's bona fide boyfriend.
As her car arrived at the hospital, Rue and Mrs. Bennet showed up as well.
Looking at Rachel who was already passed out on the trolley bed, Jodie became worried.
Rue, on the other hand, fixed her gaze on Rachel's very-bloated abdomen as her hand tensed into a ball.
'This child inside belongs to Edward Bluemel?!'
For a split second, Rue had an urge to flatten Rachel's stomach with a punch!
'She was lucky to have spent the night with Edward Bluemel, let alone have his child! That is the dream of so many women!'
The doctor shot a serious glare at Rue, who still had her hand on the trolley. "Miss, please let go of the trolley! This is a critical period for the mother!"
Startled, Rue immediately retracted her hand from the trolley.
After seeing Rachel being wheeled into the delivery room, Rue slowly regained her composure.
'Let it be a stillbirth! Or at least an obstructed labor!'
Rue maintained a worried expression, but in her mind, she cursed Rachel over and over again.
'If Rachel's delivery is successful, I'll find someone to kill it in its sleep! I can't risk her having a chance of becoming Mrs. Bluemel!'
Having made up her mind, Rue sat waiting in front of the delivery room.
"Rue, go home and rest. I'll stay here. Don't you have to work tomorrow?"
Mrs. Bennet looked at Rue’s worried face unbearably as she proposed.
Rue simply shook her head and smiled gently. "Mom, you should go and rest. I'll be fine waiting for them to be done."
Witnessing as Rue and Mrs. Bennet argued on staying behind, Jodie could not help but speak up, "It's alright, you can both go home. I'll be here."
All of a sudden, Rue stopped as if she was waiting for something.
A long time had passed before the cries of two babies came from inside the delivery room.
The moment Jodie heard the cries, she almost glued herself to the door out of nervousness.
'Why are there the cries of two babies?'
Then, Rue thought of an idea and immediately sent Ian a text.
Immediately after, Jodie received a phone call.
"Hello, Ian? What's wrong?"
She could not help but turn back to look at the darkening delivery room. "But Rachel's not out yet! Okay, don't panic, I'm coming! Why are you speeding!? Are you alright?! I'm coming now, don't worry!"
Jodie tugged at Rue's arm. "Rue, take care of Rachel. I'll be back soon."
Rue nodded earnestly at Jodie. "Go, I'll be here, don't worry."
After Jodie left, a smile turned the corner of Rue's mouth upward, and soon, the doctor came out of the delivery room with a bloodied set of scrubs. He smiled at Rue and Mrs. Bennet. "Congratulations, it's a pair of twin boys."
Rue clenched her fist upon hearing the doctor's words. 'How is Rachel so lucky?! Twins?!'
'And they're boys, no less!'
In a split second, she thought of an idea.
A grin broke out on Rue's face slowly. 'Rachel, once again, I'm going to take the future that is yours!'
Rue pulled the doctor aside and gave him a bank card, as well as a name card.
"There are ten million pounds in this account and this name card will bring ample opportunities for you."
The doctor looked at Rue in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Rue narrowed her eyes at the doctor. "I hope you can make it known that Rachel only gave birth to one child. On top of that, I want all the nurses in the delivery room fired, do you understand me?"
The doctor continued to stare at Rue, puzzled. He still had not taken the cards from Rue.
"I don't understand the meaning behind your request."
Rue fanned the cards in her hand and explained slowly in a seductive, alluring tone.
"Think about it, it's ten million pounds. How many operations do you have to conduct before you can save up that much? This name card will provide you with better opportunities, a brighter future, so why not consider it? After all, this would not hurt you a single bit..."
Convinced by Rue, the doctor tensed his jaw and finally took the cards in her hand.
"I know what to do."
Staring at the doctor's silhouette, Rue narrowed her eyes.
Mrs. Bennet gawked at Rue in confusion. "Rue, what happened? What were you talking with the doctor about?"
Rue held Mrs. Bennet's hands and fake tears started to stream down her face.
"Mom, you have to help me, okay?"
Mrs. Bennet wiped away the tears on Rue's face in pity. "Tell me, Rue, I will definitely help you."
Rue gritted her teeth. "I want one of Rachel's twins!"
"One of them? Why?" Mrs. Bennet was utterly perplexed.
Rue then held Mrs. Bennet's hands tightly. "Rachel's babies are Edward Bluemel's babies!"
Mrs. Bennet's face was immediately filled with shock before she calmed herself down. "Edward Bluemel? The Edward Bluemel who's the richest man in the world? The Edward Bluemel who can control the world's economy?!"
Rue nodded carefully. "That's right, that's him... It took me a long time before I found out. Mom, you will help me, won't you?"
Mrs. Bennet was a little hesitant. "If those two are Edward Bluemel's sons, the man who had a one night stand with Rachel was him?!"
She covered her mouth in surprise. 'Dear God, we've been treating Rachel like a criminal!'
"Mom, I know what you're thinking, but remember, you and dad have already kicked Rachel out of the house. If Rachel becomes a Bluemel, how do you think she’ll treat the Bennets? I think you know better than I do!"
Rue narrowed her eyes and continued, "The most important thing for you and dad is the assets of the Bennet Group. If I take Rachel's place and marry Edward, only then will the Bennet Group benefit from this. Of course, I'll follow what you and dad think needs to be done."
After a long silence, Mrs. Bennet nodded. "Don't worry, Rue. Your dad and I will support whatever your decision is. Just do what you think is best!"
