SWNOVELS Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Don’t You Dare
The doctor quickly examined her and scheduled her for
surgery.
Alva didn’t cry. She simply closed her eyes and waited for everything to end.
If Uriah had wronged her, she probably would have tried everything to keep the baby.
But he had been so good to her that she was still willing to accept his ruthlessness.
But to her surprise, her mother-in-law arrived just as she was about to be wheeled into the operating room.
“Stop right there, all of you!” Alva opened her eyes.
Candice stomped over aggressively and pointed at the doctor’s face, “Sandy, are you sure you’re doing the right thing?”
Dr. Zade felt helpless, “Candice, your son Uriah does not want it. There’s nothing I can do.””
“He doesn’t want it, but I do! It’s my grandchild. I’ll raise it!”
“That...”
“That’s how it is, so hurry up and give them back to me. Otherwise, our decades of friendship end here!”
The old woman was so stubborn that Dr. Zade could do nothing but have Alva brought back to the hospital room.
“I have to say this ahead of time even if you find me rude. If Uriah asks me what happened, I’m going to drop your name faster
than the speed of light.”
“Tell him! There’s no need to hold back. If there are any issues, have him come to me!”
“Great, I can rest easy now that you’ve said that!”
Alva returned to the hospital room, her mind still repeating what Candice and Dr. Zade had just said.
She placed a hand over her still-flat stomach and whispered, “Baby, you’re still there, aren’t you?”
Was she dreaming? Was this reality?
Candice quickly came up to her and said, “Neither of you wants this child, but I do. Starting today, specialists will come to take
care of you until you safely deliver the baby.”
After saying that, she turned around to leave.
Alva called her back, “Mom.”
Candice stopped and looked at her with contempt.
Alva clutched her stomach tightly, her eyes fixed on the other woman, “Mom, if this child can be born...”
Before she could finish, Candice interrupted her, “The birth of this child has nothing to do with you. You and Uriah can
go back to your everyday lives.”
Alva Instantly grabbed her clothes.
Nothing to do with her? But it was her child...
Alva didn’t know where she got the courage to sit up, “Mom, can I have this baby?”
Candice looked at her with wide eyes and a look of disbelief, “What are you talking about?”
How could the Irwin Family allow their descendants to be taken by a divorced woman?
Did she even know what she was talking about?
“This is my child. I want to raise him, and I...”
“Shut up! In this child’s veins runs the blood of the Irwin family. How could I let you have it? Alva, don’t just sit there and make
demands. If it’s money you want, I can give it to you. But don’t even think about trying to take this child away!”
The old woman left angrily, and Alva laughed bitterly.
She knew how naive she was acting, but it hurt to think that this child would never have anything to do with her again.
Elsewhere, the Heyday Group had a towering skyscraper that pierced through the clouds and knocked on the door to heaven
with a panoramic view from the fifty-sixth floor that was out of this world.
It was the tallest building in Virginia and a symbol of power and status.
Uriah stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the rows and rows of tall buildings lined up below with his
deep dark eyes.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door, and York Colt entered.
“President Irwin, we’ve received word from the hospital that your mother has taken your wife away.”
The man lowered his gaze, and an icy glint appeared in them, “When?”
“An hour ago.
