I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 302 +25 BONUS Lauren wasn't stupid . If she couldn't stop Carter from trying to reconcile with Rhea , then fine . She wouldn't do anything at all . She would let them get back together . Once she showed up in front of Rhea with a newborn in her arms , she refused to believe that Rhea could tolerate it . So for now , she would do nothing but take care of her pregnancy and pray for Carter's quick success . " If he's doing well , I'll be doing well . And naturally , so will my child . There's no need for me to act now , " Lauren said .

Holly didn't say anything further and stepped out of the ward . Right outside , she ran into Carter , who was returning . He said , " Ms. Sanders . " " Yes , Mr. Jamison . " " Can your hospital run cancer tests too ? " Carter asked . Holly's lashes fluttered . " I sent her pathology specimen overseas for testing . I've known Lauren for years , after all . She feels more comfortable being treated here . You know how patients can be . Their mental states are fragile . " " May I see Lauren's medical records ? " Holly smiled . " Of course . Just one moment .

" Soon , she returned with a document envelope . " This is Lauren's complete medical history , from her first diagnosis until now . You can go through them . " Behind Carter , Glen - who had just sent Arielle home and rushed back - frowned . He couldn't believe how fast Lauren had acted . It seemed that she had already managed to produce a full set of fake records in just a few days . " Mr. Jamison , could these kinds of records be falsified ? " He subtly hinted to Carter . Carter flipped through the files .

The dates matched , the hospital names were there , and even the surgery times were logged . Every detail lined up . So Lauren really had cancer . She had only left him and the kids because she had no choice . He regretted ever doubting her . He countered , " Who would lie about having cancer for no reason ? " Chapter 302 +25 BONUS Glen opened his mouth but didn't know what to say . Even if he spoke up , Carter probably wouldn't believe him . After all , Lauren had already prepared the fake medical records . After some hesitation , Glen tried to approach it from another angle .

" Medical science is advanced now . Maybe we should get a second opinion at another hospital . It could have been a misdiagnosis . Honestly , Ms. Thayer seemed in good health recently . " But Carter rejected that idea on the spot . " No. That would make it too easy for the Ravelles to find out . Staying here is safer . " Glen had no choice but to fall silent . Carter looked up , as if sensing something . " You're acting like something's on your mind . " Glen shook his head . " No ... It's just that most cancer patients I've seen get weaker and lose weight . But Ms.

Thayer doesn't look like that . She has even put on some weight . " Carter frowned . Just then , his phone rang . Grace had called to inform him that the gifts for Liam were ready . He had to pay a visit to Liam . Carter told Glen to return the medical records , then he headed to Lauren's ward . " Carter . " Lauren , who hadn't been in the best mood , lit up with a bright smile the moment she saw him . Even her eyes shimmered . That small detail gave Carter a sense of satisfaction . " Lauren , I have something to take care of . I'll be leaving for now . " " Where are you going ? " she asked .

" When will I see you again ? " He didn't want to bring Rhea up , so he came up with an excuse . " I'm meeting some partners . I'll come by when I have time . " Lauren nodded . " Alright . Be safe . " As soon as he left , her smile vanished . Holly walked in . " I asked around . He's gone to the Ravelle residence . It looks like he's planning to visit Liam . " Carter was visiting his father - in - law ? Lauren sneered . " So in the end , power really does matter more to him . " Chapter 902 +25 BONUS Hally hesitated . " He took Arielle with him " Lauren's emotions flared .

" That's my chil " Lauren ! " Holly tried to calm her . " Those two kids don't side with you . They're always clinging to Rhea Why do you still care about them ? " " But I gave birth to them ! Why should Rhea get to enjoy their love ? " Lauren drew a long breath . " But you're right . I can't count on those two brats . This one in my belly ... " she prayed it was a boy . " When will we know the gender ? " she asked . Holly replied , " That examination is not allowed in Dalea , " " Then check it overseas , " Lauren gritted her teeth . " I have to have another son ! " Holly frowned .

" What difference does it make ? Boy or girl , Carter will still care , " Lauren shook her head . " Of course it makes a difference . A son can inherit the family business . And Carter prefers boys , "
