“Nonsense! Who would put her own baby at stake? Do you think I believe in what you said? You are
trying to give a false account of the truth!”
Claudia was overwhelmed by grief and indignation.As a result, she was feeling dizzy and unable to stand
properly. Tobias held her but she pushed him away coldly.
Their relationship as mother and son had never been so estranged before if not for Tanya’s incident.
Skylar sighed. “I would never believe that a mother would do that to her child if I didn’t see it with my own
eyes. I didn’t push her and my mother can be the witness.”
Miranda was nowhere to be found. Despite such an eventful scene, she didn’t even turn up to check on
Skylar.
“Your mother is a murderer. Yet, you expect me to believe her words? You have to pay for the baby’s
death,” Claudia cursed her.
Her vicious remark sent a chill down Skylar’s spine. Claudia must have been so enraged that she made
such a remark in the public. Eventually, those people were also having cold sweats upon hearing her
comment.
“Mom, you looked tired. I will handle the issue here. Please return to the ward first.”
Claudia noticed that Tobias didn’t even blame her for the entire episode. Instead, he still defended her.
As such, Claudia was very disappointed. She couldn’t take both the physical and the emotional impact
anymore. Tears gradually flowed down from the corner of her eyes. Despite that, her inner rage had yet
to settle.
As Claudia was afraid that she might collapse, she was then ushered by someone back to the ward.
Before she left, she stared daggers at Skylar. As long as I live, I will not let you have the opportunities to
be part of The Fords by any means. I will never ever forgive you unless I die.
Skylar gazed at Tobias with the expression of being framed and mistreated. It made everyone felt
heartbroken upon seeing her pitiful look.
With a hoarse voice and a crying tone, Skylar said, “Mrs. Ford, I didn’t do anything to her. If you
suspected me, then you can call the police to take me away. Let them investigate. Nonetheless, I don’t Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
have the gut to carry out this act as it harms other’s life.”
However, Claudia didn’t seem to believe in her crocodile tears. This little lass had a lot of tactics up her
sleeve to seduce my son into falling head over heels for her.
Others had left whereas Tanya was still inside the delivery room as the doctor had put her under a two-
hour observation.
Finally, the situation returned to peace temporarily. Then, Skylar was relieved and asked, “Why don’t you
go inside and have a look? I could do without your companion as I will be alright.”
Tobias didn’t have any intention to go inside.
Skylar wrapped her arm around Tobias’s waist while she placed her head tightly on his chest. She looked
like she was lacking in strength and as weak as a kitten.
“Why do I need to go inside? I don’t want to do that,” Tobias replied without any hesitation.
Although Tanya was still lying inside the delivery room, Skylar didn’t even show any sympathy for her.
Even a fierce tigress wouldn’t eat its own cub. However, Tanya had resorted to such an unscrupulous
way just to frame me. This woman was very cruel indeed. As such, she was compatible with Tobias.
“Are you hungry? I can take you to eat something,” Tobias asked while feeling a bit exhausted.
Skylar shook her head. “I don’t have any appetite. In fact, I don’t wish to eat anything. I am returning to
my mum’s ward. I’ll fetch her from the hospital tomorrow. Carry on with whatever that you have to do! It is
not appropriate for me to be here.”
Tobias asked her in return, “There is no such thing. As long as I am by your side, no one can harm you.”
Upon hearing that, Skylar felt warm in her heart. In addition, she felt content with the promise that Tobias
made. At the time when she felt helpless, Tobias didn’t accuse her like the others. For that, she was
grateful to him.
“Do you believe in me? I don’t mind if others misunderstand me since I only care about your opinion.”
Tobias gently stroked her slightly messy hair. “There is no reason why I shouldn’t believe you. I believe in
everything that you told me. Now, you don’t have to worry too much. I will see you once the issue has
been sorted out.”
