Chapter 359: Fell Into a Trap
After she entered, Nanny Warren greeted her, "Hello, Miss Turner." Her state was clearly different from usual. Nanny Warren was very worried.
Faye Turner did not notice and she respectfully replied, "Hello, Nanny Warren. I’m sorry the herbal medicine is only arriving now. There were a few ingredients that I just picked up today."
"Nanny Warren, this is for you. It can treat back pain. Brew a dose every day." She handed one of the bags to Nanny Warren. "You can drink it like tea."
"Thank you, Miss Turner." Nanny Warren reached out to take it, her eyes full of unspoken words, not knowing how to start.
"Nanny Warren, what’s wrong?" She finally sensed something unusual, smiling as she sized her up. "Is something on your mind?"
At this moment, Eliza Hayes came out holding a bowl of herbal medicine. Her face was indifferent, her eyes heavily fixed on Faye Turner’s back.
Smelling the strong scent of herbal medicine, Faye Turner turned her eyes, clearly feeling the abnormal atmosphere.
Because her mother-in-law was holding the bowl of medicine, walking straight towards her, with that icy gaze locked on her.
"Faye, thank you for bringing us herbal medicine." Eliza Hayes came up to her with the bowl, lips curling into a smile. "You’ll drink this herbal medicine too, won’t you? It’s your mother’s heartfelt intention."
The girl was dumbfounded, "I don’t need to drink herbal medicine."
"I brewed it for you personally, so there’s no question of needing or not needing it." Eliza Hayes’s tone turned colder, no longer wanting to hide, she withdrew the smile from her face. "Drink it! Don’t waste time!"
Before Faye Turner could react, four men with unfriendly expressions appeared at the doorway!
They all walked over here!
Each stood firmly behind Faye Turner, a meter away, without needing to speak, their purpose was understood.
Faye Turner’s gaze slowly moved from the men back to her mother-in-law.
Meeting her gaze, cold enough to drip water, Faye Turner’s heart sank heavily, sensing something bad!
"Stop the nonsense, drink it!" Eliza Hayes extended her hand, offering the bowl of medicine, her gaze cold and resolute.
The smell was pungent! It made Faye Turner’s brows furrow tightly, the sour and slippery taste emitted by the purslane, which has abortion-inducing effects.
She shook her head in disbelief, "Why?" Faye Turner appeared very calm, "I want a reason, why do this to me?!"
But Eliza Hayes didn’t want to delay too long, what if the old man came back early?
But since she asked, she was also willing to answer—
"Because I don’t agree with you being with my son, get rid of the child, leave him!" The middle-aged woman’s voice was cold and full of viciousness.
Beside them, Nanny Warren watched everything quietly.
Faye Turner’s eyes were filled with horror, her gaze fixed steadily on the steaming bowl of abortion medicine in front of her!
Knowing she was a practitioner of Chinese medicine, Eliza Hayes surely used a strong dose!
If she drank it in front of everyone, there would be no chance of saving it.
"Drink it, don’t force me to take action." Eliza Hayes lost her patience. "After drinking the medicine, I’ll give you a card, leave Argent!"
Faye Turner’s gaze slowly shifted, meeting Nanny Warren’s eyes.
Nanny Warren lowered her eyes sorrowfully.
She saw the helplessness and contradiction in Nanny Warren’s eyes. This was something Nanny Warren couldn’t decide, and her grandfather... was also sent away.
Faye Turner suddenly became clear-headed, realizing she was exploited for her kindness, trapped in a den of wolves.
Once more, she glanced at the men not far behind her, fierce and devoid of ethics or emotions.
The next second, Faye Turner clenched her teeth, raised her hand, and decisively knocked the bowl out of Eliza Hayes’s hand!
"Ah—!"
The warm herbal medicine splashed on Eliza Hayes’s hand, and the large bowl fell with a thud at her feet, medicine splattering all over her!
This scared everyone present!
"Madam!" The men quickly stepped forward, offering napkins and towels, looking at Faye Turner with eyes that seemed to want to devour her.
"I’m sorry, I cannot drink it!" Faye Turner knelt down, tears in her eyes, knowing such behavior was highly disrespectful. "I didn’t mean to, but to protect the child in my womb, I have no other choice. I’m sorry..."
But Eliza Hayes was so furious it seemed smoke was coming out of her ears! Her chest heaving violently! Holding a towel, while wiping, she glared at her, as if she wanted to eat her up!
"You..." She truly didn’t expect this girl to be so bold!
She was really furious, quickly instructing the men beside her, "Blaze! Go serve another bowl! Force her to drink it! Right now, immediately!"
