Chapter 21 Norah Fell Into the Swimming Pool
"Yes, it's urgent." Shawn said.
Norah, with her fists tight, thought it unnecessary to speak more.
"Lily had a health checkup today. The result is not very good. She is now in a mood..."
Norah immediately raised her head and said indifferently, "Okay, let's go!"
As for those reasons, she didn't want to hear a word.
Since the choice has been made, it is no need to explain.
After Shawn left, Norah, as an ordinary member of the Lawson family, was helping to greet relatives and friends.
Probably due to pregnancy, Norah felt tired after standing for a while.
Especially her feet which hurts while standing.
She was wearing a new pair of shoes today, but didn't expect it to grind her feet.
Norah stopped temporarily and sat down on a chair nearby, trying to put a Band-Aid on her heel to relieve the pain that caused by rubbing.
As soon as she sat down, she heard a sharp sarcasm.
"Oh, it's boring. I thought I could see Shawn's wife today? I didn't expect that she still didn't show up. Do you think she's too ugly or fat to see us?"
The girl, who seems to be the distant cousin of Shawn, was somewhat known to Norah, but she couldn't remember her name.
"Probably not. How could Grandpa Martin betroth such a bad woman to Shawn? I think she didn't turn up because she feels shameful. I heard that her family is very poor. Her mother is a nurse and her father a gambler. If her mother hadn't saved grandpa's life, she wouldn't be able to establish a relationship with our family in her whole life owing to her background"
" People from poor families are undoubtedly shabby and poor, and despite their ugliness, they even are not worth bringing to the public. It's probably because of this that Shawn didn't show up with her, for fear of being seen as a joke."
The two little girls stood aside superciliously discussing "her" and laughing at "her".
Norah clenched her fists. They could laugh at her, but they couldn't laugh at her family, especially her mother.
She never makes trouble, but when someone annoys her purposefully, she won't be afraid.
Norah put on her shoes, straightened her clothes up, and walked over," look, isn't it impolite for you two pretty young girls to gossip about others behind their back?"
The two young girls turned around and glanced at her at the same time.
Then they smiled contemptuously and snorted coldly, "Who are you? Mind your own business"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I don't like your behavior of talking nonsense."
The two young girls sneered and looked at her arrogantly, "What if I continue to say? Let me tell you. This is the Lawson family, and it's my territory. I can say whatever I want, and you have no right to patronize me"
"Of course, you can speak. This is your freedom of speech, but you can't just talk nonsense."
"What?" The girl folded her arms and stared at her in disbelief, "You dare to refute me. I think you must have a serious death wish.
When the words were spoken, a girl behind Norah suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed her fiercely.
Norah was caught off guard, completely unexpected that they would dare to cause trouble in front of so many people on Grandpa's birthday.
She can't swim.
And the water in the pool is icy.
As soon as she fell, she felt extremely cold.
She opened her mouth, and just as she was about to cry out, the water in the pool get her choked immediately.
After a few flutters, Norah began to sink rapidly.
The girl probably realized that she was too impulsive, and seeing that Norah couldn't swim, she didn't want to cause anyone to die, so she immediately called for help, "Help! Someone fell into the water. Help."
"Help!"
