Chapter 42
Vivian Sinclair knocked over the medicine bowl that had been presented to her.
She shouted angrily, “I won’t drink it p>
She looked at Lillian Rivers behind Austin Grant.
Vivian had always known that ever since her true heritage was revealed, she had become a thorn in Lillian’s side.
As her mother-in-law, she had longed to oust her from the position of daughter-in-law in The Grant Family.
Especially after Vivian received the heirloom bracelet from Grandma, every time she looked at Vivian, her eyes were filled with hatred and scheming.
The poisonous room from last time, seeing herself and Zoe Monroe in constant conflict, she was definitely involved!
Therefore, whether she truly wanted her ’grandchild’ to be born safely was an unreliable unknown to Vivian.
Vivian dared not drink any soup or medicine sent by her.
“You want to harm the child in my womb, Austin is the only one who believes you p>
“But I don’t p>
Vivian directly voiced her suspicions of Lillian, causing a flash of anger on Lillian’s face.
She looked at the overturned medicine on the ground, her eyebrows furrowed and eyes fierce, “Vivian Sinclair, don’t be ungrateful p>
“I’m the child’s grandmother, would I harm them p>
“Nanny Bell, hurry up and bring another bowl over p>
The caretaker of the villa, Nanny Bell, responded promptly without delay.
Soon, another bowl of dark medicine was presented in front of Vivian.
Austin hesitated a little, seeing this, Lillian pointed at Vivian sternly, “Do you still want to let her run away p>
“She’s caused Zoe and Gia so much suffering, now it’s just a small punishment, it’s harmless to the unborn child, what are you worried about p>
“Austin, you should show your wife some consequence p>
“Look at how she’s harmed you both p>
Austin hardened his heart and cornered Vivian completely.
Then, he grabbed her face and took the medicine bowl from Lillian’s hand.
“Be good, Vivian p>
“This way, you’ll still be my obedient wife p>
“As long as you don’t run, as long as you act like a harmonious and respectful couple with me every day like in the old house, as long as you behave yourself and let Grandma see your change, everything will be fine for you p>
“Good p>
The bitter medicine flowed into Vivian’s mouth.
Vivian tried to fight back, kicking and pushing Austin fiercely, but no matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t move Austin an inch.
Moreover, Lillian stepped forward and grabbed her tightly.
“Drink it up p>
She raised her hand and forcefully pushed the bowl in Austin’s hand upwards.
Soon.
Though half of the medicine spilled, the other half was forced into Vivian’s mouth.
Their violence and roughness directly cut a large gash in Vivian’s mouth, and as the last gulp of medicine came out, blood followed.
With Austin letting go, Vivian slumped weakly to the ground.
For some reason, seeing her so tormented, Austin felt his heart soften.
He squatted down, his voice gentle and low, softly sighing, “Vivian, it’s okay p>
“Believe me, this medicine won’t really harm you p>
Vivian raised her hand and slapped him hard.
“Beast p>
“I never want to see you again p>
“Get out! All of you leave p>
She pointed at the door, shouting angrily, her eyes red with fury, glaring at Austin with unveiled hatred.
Austin only felt a buzzing in his head.
He hurriedly reached out with confusion, trying to hold her again.
Vivian quickly picked up the empty bowl from the ground, then smashed it heavily on the ground, swiftly picking up a piece of broken porcelain, aiming at her stomach.
“Austin Grant, if you’re ready for three lives to be lost, just try coming closer p>
“Get out p>
Austin turned pale, starting to regret.
“Vivian, don’t be impulsive p>
“We need to talk it out… I’m your husband, you should trust me p>
“Hand it over, quickly! Don’t really hurt yourself p>
Vivian swiped the porcelain shard in front of Austin, “Don’t come closer p>
Austin quickly dodged back, barely avoiding injury to his neck.
He looked at Vivian incredulously, not believing she nearly injured herself.
However, what Vivian said next was something Austin completely didn’t expect, “The person who hurt me the most is you p>
“Austin Grant, you are truly unsuited to be human, I hate you p>
“I don’t want to see you now, get out p>
Lillian, seeing Vivian nearly driven insane, hurriedly pulled Austin back, fearing she might truly harm her son.
“Austin, let’s go out p>
“Let her calm down p>
“The medicine works slowly but effectively p>
“Enter again after she sleeps p>
With that, Lillian smirked proudly and unrestrained.
The determination in her eyes made Vivian feel like being doused in cold water.
The medicine must be problematic!
Austin remained stiffly standing in place.
Watching Vivian about to go mad, yet his heart felt empty.
He should feel satisfied.
He should watch coldly.
But he began regretting having gone so hard on her tonight!
She actually said she hated him?
What right did she have p>
Austin kicked aside the remaining porcelain shards on the floor.
Once Nanny Bell came in and cleaned everything up, Austin was pulled to the door by Lillian Rivers.
Before shutting the door, Austin glanced coldly at Vivian Sinclair, who was sitting in the corner: “You’ll get better p>
He believed she was just sick.
That’s why she gradually slipped out of his control.
As long as the drugs kept things under control, she would still be the obedient, sweet wife.
The moment the door slammed shut, Vivian immediately reached for her throat.
To avoid making loud retching sounds, she suppressed her whimpers as she vomited.
Finally, she dragged the blanket off the bed and buried her face in it, her fingers nearly touching the back of her throat.
“Wha-la—” a sound.
Vivian finally vomited out all the medicine.
Tears streamed down her face from throwing up.
Her whole body was so weak that she could only collapse on the floor.
Until she almost spat out all the yellow bile, she slowly reached for her belly.
“Babies, you have to be strong, don’t absorb those bad things, okay p>
“Mommy’s sorry, mommy didn’t protect you well p>
“But mommy really doesn’t want to lose you, you must stay strong and don’t leave mommy p>
After saying this, Vivian was forced to pull herself together.
She first wiped the filth and tears from her mouth, then struggled to stand up from the ground.
Vivian went to the door first, straining to listen outside.
Sure enough, people were still talking outside, listening carefully, it was Lillian Rivers and Nanny Bell.
“Wait another hour… the children should be gone p>
“Handle it p>
“Don’t wait until she’s dead p>
“If that happens, it’ll be a big mess p>
“Don’t let Young Master know p>
Indeed, Lillian wanted to use that bowl of medicine to abort her children!
At this moment, Vivian’s hatred deepened until she painfully woke up by breaking her own palm.
Vivian forced herself to quickly calm down.
Though she had done her best to vomit out all the medicine, she couldn’t be sure how much she had absorbed.
And if Nanny Bell came in to check on her in an hour and she didn’t appear as Lillian expected, then tonight or tomorrow, she would definitely be forced to drink another bowl of that herbal medicine.
Could she find another chance to vomit it out then?
Vivian dared not be certain.
So, she absolutely couldn’t just sit idly by; she had to escape within the hour!
Outside the window, it was still pouring rain.
Vivian first gently turned the locked door handle.
This kind of lock, once locked with a key from the outside, could only be opened from the outside.
So she couldn’t get out.
But she also couldn’t let them come in easily again.
She looked around the room; the bed was immovable, but she could move the bedside table.
Though she hadn’t eaten in a long time and had just vomited, leaving her weak with little strength, Vivian still tried her best to push the bedside table over.
Hearing noise inside, Nanny Bell immediately came over and knocked on the door: “Young Madam, aren’t you resting yet p>
“You should rest soon, everything will get better after you wake up p>
Vivian: “Get away p>
Without hesitation, she shouted angrily at this accomplice of Lillian, then quickly pushed the bedside table fully against the door.
A bedside table might not hold them off, but what about adding a stick?
Vivian found a clothes rod in the wardrobe.
She placed the rod between the bedside table and the door, making it temporarily difficult for anyone pushing from the outside to fully open the door, then swiftly moved to the edge of the window.
Tonight, this was her only way out.
Vivian climbed up the window, trembling as she tried to steady her footing.
When she climbed out of the window and stood unwavering on the outer ledge, Nanny Bell noticed something was wrong and managed to open a crack in the door with the keys.
But she quickly realized she couldn’t push the door open.
Yet Nanny Bell could see some of the inside.
Seeing Vivian standing on the outer wall, Nanny Bell almost lost her soul from fear.
“Oh my God! Someone come quickly p>
“Madam! Young Master—Young Madam’s climbed out the window p>
Nanny Bell’s shouting immediately attracted Austin and Lillian.
Lillian hurried over and peeked through the door crack to see Vivian’s condition, her face instantly went pale.
“Hurry, break down the door p>
“If Vivian dies here today, no one can escape p>
She only wanted Vivian to miscarry and leave The Grant Family, not take her life.
After all, if someone died, the entire Grant Family would be implicated.
So Lillian dared not go to such extremes.
Austin came running furiously at the sound.
Upon learning that Vivian had climbed out the window, he shouted in angry rage: “Vivian p>
Why couldn’t she just behave and stay in the room?
Why did she have to run!
Why did she have to oppose him!
Why did she have to disobey and grow those wings wanting to fly away—
“I will personally cut those wings off p>
With Austin’s strenuous effort, the door was kicked open.
The wind and rain howled in from the window.
But outside the window, where was Vivian’s figure?
