Chapter 621: Chapter 624: Hannah and Lily, both are her children (extra 2)

“Don’t worry, we know how to handle this.”

As head of the family, Noah Ford solemnly responded, “Regardless, Lilith’s health is the top priority. As for other matters, we can discuss them after her confinement period.”

“As for Hannah, let’s… send her away once she wakes up.”

It was clear that Aidan Lucas wanted them to clarify things.

Noah Ford didn’t understand why Aidan Lucas was hostile towards Hannah Ford.

From his perspective, it was probably because he felt that his wife’s position had been occupied by someone else.

“No, why should Hannah be sent away?”

Bella Scott, who was originally immersed in sadness, immediately objected upon hearing Noah’s words.

“Hannah hasn’t done anything wrong. You are the one who made a mistake. She’s just a child… On what grounds are you sending her away? Where do you want to send her?”

“It’s true, I’m the one who made a mistake. That’s why I’m only sending her away, not abandoning her. I’ll send her to a city in the south, where the sunshine is good and it’s suitable for recuperation.”

The Ford family’s headquarters was in M Country, the Scott family was in B City, but Noah Ford wanted to send Hannah to the south.

This was equivalent to a disguised ‘exile’.

“No, I disagree!” Bella Scott hoarsely objected again.

“Noah Ford, go and see Hannah’s current condition for yourself. She’s barely breathing, and her face is disfigured. You know, she’s suffered from illness since she was little. But she’s always been considerate and never complains about her suffering. She’s like my own daughter after all these years! I will never allow you to treat her like this.”

“So what exactly do you want!?” Noah Ford couldn’t understand Bella Scott. He stood up, his face full of impatience.

Bella Scott also stood up, not backing down.

She did love Noah Ford, always yielding to him, but she was also a mother.

“I don’t want anything. Lilith is my daughter, and Hannah is also my daughter. As far as I am concerned, they are both irreplaceable family members.”

“Moreover, there’s no reason to get rid of Hannah before we’ve found Lilith!”

One had to admit that in a sense, Bella Scott’s decision was the right one.

Even if the child was adopted, there was no reason to send her away after having one’s own flesh and blood.

That would be a second injury to the child.

However…

“Clap clap clap—” The tense atmosphere in the ward was pierced by sarcastic applause.

Aidan Lucas slowly clapped his hands.

Sharp and ironic eyes fell on Bella Scott’s face.

“Mrs. Ford’s words are really nice. It seems that you truly are a great mother. But there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you. You’ve always wanted to know how Hannah got the scars on her face, right?”

Bella Scott looked at Aidan Lucas, and suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.

Aidan Lucas hooked his lips coldly and said nonchalantly, “Well, I’ll tell you now. The scar on her face was caused by me whipping her with a belt. The other wounds on her body were also left by the belt.”

“You—you, how could you treat her like this?! You’re so cruel!”

“Cruel?”

Aidan Lucas sneered, “Compared to Hannah, who deliberately drugged a man and tried to force him to have sex with her, this is nothing. After all, my wife is pregnant. But she still wanted to use such despicable means to force me into submission.”

“Oh, and by the way, I should also make one more thing clear to you.”

“For you, the fact that Hannah was mistaken for someone else and brought back to the Ford family was not her intention. But for me, the fact that she took Lily’s identity and deliberately claimed to be the person who saved my life is undeniable.”
