SWNOVELS Chapter 2154
He said nothing further and turned around to leave.
Yuliana went to the villa to see Ruth again.
She entered the villa without any hiccups, but two servants were following her around.
Although they were technically known as servants, they had a very big build unlike what an ordinary woman would have.
Yuliana understood what was going on.
After Yuliana came to the villa, Qiana's servant who had been placed in Quartley Palace called Qiana and informed her that Yuliana had gone over. Another two other servants also appeared. "Miss Lanes, I think that those two are servants but I think I feel like I might have trained them before." The servant that Qiana used was a retired female soldier.
Qiana agreed.
She thought Yuliana must have made a fuss last time which alerted Madam Quartley. She sent two soldiers to ensure Ruth's safety.
Of course, she had to make sure she was considerate of Yuliana as well. She could not send bodyguards to show her around.
"Don't do anything," instructed Qiana. "Lay low, just keep me updated about what happens."
Qiana was a smart person. She could sense that now wasn't a good time to make a move.
"Yes, Miss Lanes."
"Ruth, how have you been recently? Do you still have morning sickness? I brought you some nutritional tonics," Yuliana seemed to have changed her tone entirely. She even brought a few things for Ruth. When Ruth was at a loss of what to do, a servant came forward and said, "I'll help Miss Welmert put it away."
Yuliana smiled and said, "Okay, please do."
When the maid left with the tonic, there was a vicious flash in Yuliana's eyes.
Hehe! Just put it away!
It was nothing more than a test to see what was in the tonic!
What a joke! Did she think Yuliana was a fool?
Of course, she would not put something in the tonic!
On the contrary, she would bring the best tonics for Ruth. That would make Madam Quartley drop her guard. If anything happened to Ruth's baby, she would not be suspicious of Yuliana!
"Look at your belly, Ruth. It's obvious that you will give birth to a strong and capable son," Yuliana said. She raised her voice, just so the other servants could hear her.
Ruth didn't say anything.
She looked at Yuliana with some vigilance and confusion.
She didn't know what Yuliana was scheming.
However, she knew that Yuliana's change in attitude was not because she cared about her.
"I've thought it through, Ruth. After all, I am your employer. The baby in your belly will be mine anyway. I will have to treat you well. What I did last time was wrong, please let me apologize," Yuliana lied. Ruth was stunned.
Was the baby in her belly for Yuliana?
Ruth instantly panicked.
She knew that the baby in her belly would be given to the Quartley family, but she thought it would be handed over to Madam Quartley. She did not expect it to go to Yuliana.
If it was given to Yuliana, would her baby be safe?
Ruth's heart was lodged in her throat.
As Yuliana's former personal servant, Ruth understood clearly how Yuliana worked.
"Go and pour me a cup of tea," Yuliana suddenly said to the remaining servant.
"Yes, Miss Fernandez." The servant went to pour tea, but her eyes were fixed on them. Yuliana didn't understand what the servant was staring at.
It was as though they were preparing themselves, ready to do anything at command. Yuliana smirked internally.
What a joke, what could she do?
She sent the servant even further away in an attempt to whisper something to Ruth.
Yuliana moved closer and said softly, "Ruth, the baby in your belly will be my son one day. How do you think I'll treat him?"
"Shall I steam him or roast him?" she sounded poisonous.
Ruth's face instantly turned pale!
The servant came over with tea.
"Miss Fernandez, please have some tea." Yuliana took the tea from the servant and nodded. "Thank
you."
After taking a sip of tea, Yuliana looked at Ruth, who pretended to be surprised. "Ruth, why is your face so pale? I tell Madam Quartley to send a doctor to see you and give you something nutritious."
Ruth's body trembled.
Yuliana's words echoed in her ears.
She asked if the child should be steamed or roasted!
How could anyone on this earth say such a thing!
Ruth wondered if she was hallucinating.
Only demons could say such vicious words.
"Ruth, Madam Quartley said that she'll give me your son. I will take care of him like how I take care of Zorion. I will make sure he grows up in a loving environment."
Ruth suddenly stopped breathing, it was as though she was being strangled.
Others could not understand what he meant, but she could!
Only she knew how Yuliana treated Zorion!
Yuliana didn't take Zorion seriously at all.
"You!" Ruth's teeth were chattering, she couldn't even form a full sentence.
Yuliana stood up with a gentle smile on her face. "Ruth, you look like you're happy. You must be elated that I'll be the one raising your child. I'll be taking my leave. Think about what I've said."
She looked at the servant and said, "You should take good care of Ruth in the future. Make sure she's taken care of. If anything happens, I'll come after you!" Yuliana turned around and left.
As soon as Yuliana left, the servants realized there was something wrong with Ruth.
She stepped forward and asked, "Miss Welmert, is everything okay?"
Yuliana had just been speaking to Ruth so kindly. They didn't know why Ruth looked so terrible.
"Water...I need water," said Ruth.
The servants poured some warm water for Ruth without delay. After drinking it in one gulp, her fear slowly dissipated.
"I can't give the child to her." Ruth murmured with a pale face, "I can't give it to her. She's not a human being. She's a devil, a devil I tell you!"
After that, she looked at the servant
and said in a rushed tone, "Ask
Madam Quartley to come over
immediately, let her know that have something to tell her. Call her here in
an instant!"
Madam Quartley entered the villa.
The servant reported to Madam Quartley that Yuliana had been here before and Madam Quartley asked what Yuliana had said.
The servant told her the truth.
