Chapter 76: Pregnancy Test
“How could you say that?!” Michael saw Tang Yu’s clenched fists and pale face. “Xiao Ye is not that kind of person!”
“Then, can you prove that she is pregnant with your child?”
“Xiao Ye wouldn’t lie to me!”
Tang Yu suddenly stood up and said angrily, “You’ll know when the baby is born!”Her eyes were filled with anger as she stared straight at Mrs. Hawk.
This family was being out of line. They interrogated her as if she was a criminal. Why did they have to question her in the first place?! How could her sister have endured this for so long?!
She really did not care anymore, and wanted to leave. However, when she saw how worried Michael was and how much he tried to protect her, she decided to endure it. For the sake of her sister’s happiness, she had to fight on.
“According to what you just said, shouldn’t I be the one who’s scared of marrying into your family? What are you afraid of? We can get engaged first, and wait for the child to be born before deciding on the marriage. That should be fine, right?”
No one had expected the seemingly weak “Tang Ye” to stand up against them, speaking loudly. Everyone could not help but think highly of her.
Mr Hawk’s serious expression did not seem to change.
Michael bit his lip, his eyes burning with a determined flame. He had already made up his mind. If his family did not agree to his marriage with Tang Ye, he would elope with her.
“Sure,” his father said, his cold voice devoid of any warmth. “Get engaged first. If you fail to give birth to his child, you’ll die a horrible death.”
“Okay,” Tang Yu answered with certainty. She had absolute confidence that her sister would be able to get pregnant soon.
At that moment, the door was violently pushed open as a young girl’s figure appeared at the door. She had been hiding behind the door since the beginning to eavesdrop.
That annoying woman had always been cold and rude to Tang Ye every time she came here. She didn’t want her brother to marry her!
Mary waved the report in her hand as she cried, “She’s not pregnant at all. She’s lying!”
She ran to her mother, coquettishly snuggling up to her. She wore a smug look on her face, as if she was taking credit for something.
Grandma and her mother didn’t like Tang Ye either. If she managed to chase her away, her mother would definitely buy her that expensive dress that she had always wanted.
“How did you get that…” Tang Yu looked a little panicked.
Mary snorted coldly, “This hospital is run by us. Of course, I can take the reports as I please.”
“Is there no privacy on doctor-patient information…?”
“You should worry about yourself. Father, she is a liar. She is here to cheat her way into the marriage!”
“I am really pregnant.” Tang Yu did not give in. “If I lie, I will do whatever you want. But if I’m right… then you will have to call me sister-in-law!”
“Hahaha… ” Mary laughed smugly, confident that she was right. “You’re dead meat.”
Suddenly, Tang Yu’s face revealed a pained expression. She clutched her stomach as she squatted down.
“What’s going on? Xiao Ye!”
“My stomach hurts, it hurts…”Tang Yu looked at the cup of water on the table. There had been something wrong with it.
Michael looked at his grandmother in disbelief. “Why… Why did you do this… Xiao Ye was finally pregnant…”
“If she can get through this, then she can become the daughter-in-law of the Hawk family,” his grandmother said slowly.
“You’ve gone too far!” Michael rushed out with ‘Tang Ye’ in his arms.
In the hospital, Tang Yu was lying on the bed with a pale face. Her hair was drenched in sweat, and her consciousness was gradually fading.
The doctor was called to do a DNA test on the child in her stomach.
Michael tried his best to stop him, but both his father and grandmother were here. He knew that it would be futile to resist. With his father’s forceful methods, if he did not get the result he wanted, he would surely kill her right away.
He had never told Tang Ye about the true nature of their family. Tang Ye had always foolishly thought that the Hawk family was just an ordinary prestigious family, but in reality, the Hawk family was a mafia that had existed for a hundred years, originating from California.
The members of the family had always made sure that marriages were settled internally. Not only would they be able to avoid the trouble of secrets being leaked, but they would also be able to guarantee the passing of good genes onto their descendants.
For ordinary people who wanted to marry into the family, they had to undergo strict tests. The weak could surely not survive in their world.
His grandma had just received the results of the DNA test. She entered the ward with a serious expression before walking to Michael’s side. Tang Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed, had just undergone surgery, so she was still unconscious and extremely weak.
“It’s not your child in her stomach.”
Michael’s body trembled in disbelief.
“We already aborted the child. I’m afraid that she won’t be able to have another child in the future.”
“That’s impossible… You would’ve just killed her if it wasn’t my child!”
His grandma knew that she could not hide it from him any longer, so she told him the truth. “It’s because of the poison.”
