Chapter 7 Threaten with Death
Therefore, their parents thought Lydia was the smarter one and focused on investing in her.
Wesley and Miranda had long planned that they should leave the smarter one of the twins to be the successor, and the other one to be sacrifice.
They never knew the test results had been swapped. Someday in the future, they would regret this, but that day was yet to come.
Wesley snorted, "Don't let this get into public eyes, or it will ruin our reputation! We shall never let the Sparks family know this!"
Miranda looked at Patricia's bulging belly and said, "How could we possibly hide this?"
Lydia took her parents hands and looked as if she shared their concerns. "Mom, Dad, this should be easy. We can call a family doctor over and do the abortion in this house. Is that alright?" The two's eyes lit up immediately. That sounded like a good idea.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you, Lydia. Don't you ever do this like your sister, do you understand?"
Wesley looked at Lydia with a grim face. Obviously, he hated Patricia's guts.
Patricia took a few steps back upon hearing what Wesley said. She turned around and ran back to her room. Then she took a sigh of relief after she double locked the room. "Baby, don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"
Lydia was an activist and Patricia was carrying Archibald's baby, which meant Patricia wouldn't be safe as long as the baby was with her.
It hadn't been two hours when a doctor walked into their house with a nurse.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Lydia kept knocking at the door and asked in a gentle tone.
"Patricia, please open the door."
Miranda also said patiently, "Yes, Patricia, it won't hurt!"
Wesley wasn't as patient as Miranda and Lydia. He kicked the door and turned back to stare at Miranda.
"Go get the keys!"
Miranda took the key and opened the door. It had been unlocked, but they failed to push it open.
Lydia peeked through the crack and said, "Patricia has put her desk and cabinets against the door."
Wesley called several servants over and pushed the door open. Then he scolded, "Damn you! You think that's funny? Get the hell out of here! Now!"
The doctor and nurse were very indifferent, and continued to prepare their instruments despite the disturbance.
Patricia stepped back till she was leaning against the window. Then she took out a knife and placed it against her tender neck.
"Stop! Nobody can hurt my baby! Dad and Mom, if you insist on doing this, I'll kill myself!"
Wesley and Miranda stopped when they saw what Patricia was doing.
"Don't overreact, Patricia. Put the knife down and let's talk." Miranda frowned.
Lydia clenched her fists while she was watching this. She just wanted to let the baby disappear and didn't understand why it was so challenging. Patricia was still putting the knife against her own neck. She pointed at the doctor and the nurse with the other hand and yelled, "Get them out of here!" Her parents remained silent and didn't say a word to let the two leave.
Seeing that, Patricia's hand pushed the knife onto her neck. A bloody mark emerged under the blade.
A few drops of blood dripped off her neck and flowed along the knife blade. It seemed that Patricia was serious. Miranda hastily sent doctor and the nurse out. "Don't overreact, Patricia. They've already left."
Wesley was wearing a cold face. He looked at Patricia and said, "When will you stop being so capricious?"
Patricia gritted her teeth, looked at her parents and finally yelled out, "Get out!"
"Patricia... don't get so provoked! We're just..."
Patricia pushed the knife even harder. More blood dripped off.
"Get out of my room," she moaned.
The three had no choice but to leave her room resignedly.
Lydia looked at her father anxiously. "Dad, she doesn't want to have the abortion... what should we do?"
"What should we do? I'll tell you! If she really kills herself, our family will be devastated!"
Wesley was so annoyed. He needed Patricia's marriage as a liaison to the Sparks Family. He looked at Lydia and said, "Lydia, we can't let your sister marry Dustin like that. I was told that Dustin has feelings for you. Why don't we follow the former arrangement, so you can marry him? Is that alright?"
Miranda nodded upon hearing that suggestion. "That's right, Lydia. We don't know why you didn't want to marry him all of a sudden, but I remember you two have been in a relationship for a long time." Lydia lowered her head because she thought it was ridiculous. She was with Dustin just for fun. Marriage was not an easy decision to make. She would never marry one of her boy toys. The only man she wanted to marry was Archibald, her prince charming.
The situation now was quite tricky for her now. She had always been an obedient and considerate girl to her parents who would put the family interest first.
"If that is the only solution, then I'll go. I'll make up for Patricia's mistake." She said and lowered her head, her face full of sorrow.
Her mother patted her on the back. "You're always the considerate one."
Lydia made Patricia the one to be blamed, and that worked perfectly on Wesley. He yelled at the door, "You ungrateful brat! I should've strangled you when you're young! Why are you always bringing me troubles?"
"Dad, don't blame her... she's the younger one. Should anything happen, I'll be the one to make the amendment, just because I'm her elder sister. It's fine. She said, weeping.
Wesley sighed and patted her back. "Thank you. Now that Patricia is such an ungrateful brat, we'll give all her shares in the group to you!"
Miranda nodded and looked at Lydia. She felt so sorry for her. "Yes, Patricia has never cared the least about this family. She didn't care about the Coleman Group at all."
