395 Chapter 394
Mary’s eyes suddenly flared with a bright light as if she had spotted redemption.
Ellis also tensed abruptly, turning around.
He saw Uncle Olsen striding in, standing in front of
them.
Ellis clenched his fists. The usually headstrong man now looked as if he was greatly aggrieved, and he softly called out, “Uncle.”
Uncle Olsen furrowed his brows.
Mr. and Mrs. Olsen rushed in as well. Upon seeing them, Mrs. Olsen immediately said, “Ellis, what on earth is going on?! Mary, is the child really Ellis’s?”
Mary gave a wry smile upon hearing this.
She looked at Ellis, her fists tightly clenched. “It’s his.”
Ellis bellowed with rage. “Shut up!”
Even at this point, Mary still insisted the child was his… Did she have no regard for dignity and just want to escape today’s ordeal?!
305 Chapter 204
Was the child really that important to her?!
Mrs. Olsen, listening to their exchange, couldn’t help frowning. “Ellis, is the child yours or not?!”
Ellis’s eyes reddened, and he stared fixedly at Mary.
Mary was still slumped on the sofa, looking up at him with a defiant and sorrowful expression he couldn’t
understand.
Ellis remained silent.
Mrs. Olsen then said, “Ellis, I don’t know why you’re denying this child, or if you started having doubts after seeing that document, but Mary is almost three. months pregnant now. In a few days, we can do an amniocentesis, and everything will be clear. Don’t be rash today, okay?”
She approached Ellis and said, “I know this has brought shame upon you, but a man’s dignity doesn’t come from a woman. Ellis, be rational. If you make her take this medicine today, the child will truly be gone. If it turns out later that the child is yours, you’ll regret it! And it will also cause irreversible damage between you and Mary!”
Ellie planched his fiete oven fighter

Mrs. Olsen then turned to Mary. “Mary, I’ll say one more thing. We won’t delve into what happened before the marriage; it’s the 21st century now, and everyone’s more open-minded. But if the child isn’t Ellis’s, then take this medicine, and let’s all pretend it never happened. If the child is Ellis’s, then can you agree to the amniocentesis?”
Mary looked at her gratefully. “I choose to do the amniocentesis. In one more week, I’ll be three months pregnant!”
Mrs. Olsen nodded at her words, “Alright.”
Then she turned to Ellis. “Let’s settle it this way then. Stop making a scene, okay? Everyone, come out
time to eat…”
She turned to leave after saying this.
But halfway through, she realized Ellis hadn’t move
Mrs. Olsen looked at him.
Ellis seemed nailed to the spot, staring intently at Mary. “Do you have to take it this far?”
Mary’s eyes were red as she looked back at him.
Ellis suddenly hung his head “Whether the child is
395 Chapter 394
mine or not, you and I both know the truth. Why keep up this pretense of aggrievement? You don’t have a say in this matter, not here, not today.”
His voice was hoarse, and there was an unprecedented harshness in his eyes as he spoke.
But if he wasn’t harsh with Mary now, she would have
the child and leave.
She had given him divorce papers!
At that thought, a restlessness stirred within Ellis. He loosened his tie and looked at Mary again. “You have to take this medicine today. If you don’t, I’ll force it down your throat!”
Having said that, he snatched the bowl of medicine from the nanny’s hand and approached Mary.
He looked down at her from his superior position. “Mary, will you drink it yourself, or shall I help you?”
Mrs. Olsen was startled by Ellis’s demeanor. “Ellis, what are you doing? Can’t you wait another week?”
As soon as these words were spoken, James silently stepped forward. ” Aunt, don’t ask anymore! Ellis knows exactly what he’s doing! Does he not know
395 Chapter 394
what he’s done? You shouldn’t meddle in their affairs!”
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback by his words.
Had Ellis never slept with Mary?
If that were the case, then the child definitely couldn’t
be Ellis’s…
As a mother and mother-in-law, she indeed shouldn’t interfere too much in the young couple’s life, so she furrowed her brows and chose to keep silent.
Seeing this, Mr. Olsen didn’t speak either.
Uncle Olsen looked toward Ellis. “Are you sure you won’t regret what you are doing today?”
Ellis laughed softly. “I won’t.”
He knew that forcing Mary to take the medicine bring their relationship to a freezing point, but ev so, it was better than losing her.
Let her hate him. As long as they could stay entangle
in each other’s lives for the rest of their lives…
Uncle Olsen frowned upon seeing Ellis’s resolute appearance and sighed.
It was, after all, a matter between husband and wife…
396 Chapter 394
Mary clenched her fists, fixating on Ellis, her gaze landing on the bowl of medicine in his hands.
She wanted to say something, but the words “the child
is his” had been said too many times, and she had
grown weary!
No one would believe her.
Her reputation was so poor that everyone who saw that post thought it was true.
Mary’s eyes gradually reddened, and her eyes began to moisten.
She looked at Ellis again.
The young man had stood up to save her when she w bullied, but the halo around him seemed to fade slowl and now, it had turned into Ellis’s fierce visage.
She clenched her fingers tightly.
Her lips trembled. “Ellis, I can take the medicine, but after I do, I want you to test the child’s DNA after it comes out. Do you dare to do that?”
She was going to make him regret it for a lifetime!!
Ellis was slightly taken aback by her stubborn look.
395 Chapter 394
Victoria said, “Mary, what do you mean by that? Ellis’s attitude has made it clear to us that the child isn’t his. If there was any possibility that the child was my brother’s, why would he force you to have an abortion? So, whether we do the test or not, what difference does it make?”
James also said, “Mary, after you take the medicine, we won’t look down on you for what happened today! Don’t be so stubborn!”
Victoria nodded and said slowly, “You have tarnished the reputation of the Olsen Family, and the Olsens have already been very lenient with you, what else is there for you to struggle with?”
Yet Mary kept her eyes on Ellis, asking word b “Do you dare to do that?”
Ellis furrowed his brows, not knowing why, but a sudden, a sense of powerlessness and panic surge his heart as if just now, he seemed to have lost something…
He wanted to grasp it firmly, and so he said, “I do!”
“Fine, then I’ll take the medicine.”
