Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 Arisaema Erubescens 

Amanda wiped her tears and said regretfully, "Aurora, you should've given Madelyn a bigger dose of drug and let her have a miscarriage before the bitch Charlotte was born!" 

Aurora's face turned pale, and she signaled the maid Sophia, who immediately approached Helena and suggested, "Ms. Cash, would you like to freshen up a bit? You don't look comfortable like this, do you?" 

Helena looked like a mess, so she didn't refuse and followed Sophia out of the room. 

Aurora quickly grasped Amanda's hand and said in a low voice, "Amanda, don’t say such things again." 

Amanda retorted, "Why can't I say it? Madelyn has been dead for eight years! Ultimately, it's because you were too soft-hearted. If you had acted decisively back then and forced her to take that medicine, she would surely have had an abortion. Charlotte would have been stillborn, and it would have been even better if Madelyn had died as well!" 

Auora thought inwardly, "I dreamed to kill both Madelyn and Charlotte at one time without doubt, but Madelyn is not an easy woman." 

"...I simply couldn't bring myself to do it," Aurora said, "Even though Jonathan betrayed me, the child Madelyn carried was still Jonathan's. I couldn't do that." 

Amanda sighed, "Look at where your mercy got us! I regretted it so much! Why did that drug only lead to Madelyn having a pre-term labor and worsened her health condition... It would have been better if they'd both be dead!" 

Aurora patted her back and comforted her, "Let's not dwell on the past. Think about Helena...In my opinion, why not take Helena to her father? There are plenty of hospitals there too. Get Helena a job there and ask her to wait for things to cool down before returning to Seyso." 

Amanda replied, "I'm worried Helena might not agree to leave..."

Nelson broke the pen in his hand, which startled Waylon. 

With a poker face, Nelson asked, "What else did they say?" 

"They didn't reveal many more details, but I followed up on the information and dug it up," Waylon said, "Back then, Madelyn returned from abroad when she was three months pregnant. She found Jonathan, and he was supporting her and her child. However, secrets can never stay secrets. Aurora found out about Madelyn when she was seven months pregnant. She, along with her sister, Amanda, went to Madelyn's temporary residence and forced her to take abortion pills. As a result, Ms. Lopez was born premature and very weak. If not for Mr. Moore's remarkable medical skills, Ms. Lopez might not have survived...Madelyn had health issues, and the abortion medicine, which contained Arisaema Erubescens, interacted with her prescribed medication and nearly killed her. Though she stayed alive, her health deteriorated day by day." 

Nelson paused and asked, "So you meant to say that Aurora caused Lottie's premature birth and Madelyn's death?" 

Waylon lowered his head and replied, "That's correct." 

Nelson's face turned cold and gloomy. 

Waylon inquired, "Do you want me to..." 

"No need," Nelson interrupted, "just tell Charlotte everything." 

Waylon looked puzzled and asked, "Why would you want Ms. Lopez to know? Won't this just make her sad?" 

Nelson tossed the broken pen into the trash can and replied calmly, "I want to see how much she could take." 

... 

Charlotte had a horseback riding class today. 

Charlotte wasn't skilled at horseback riding, but she had taken a lesson before. She could now sit on the back of a pony and got the pony to walk around for two loops. When Cecilia riding on her horse passed by, she taunted, "Charlotte, are you taking your horse for a leisurely walk?" 

Charlotte pouted, "I just don't want my horse to get too tired." 

The school provided every student with a horse, and Charlotte was assigned a gentle, chestnut-colored pony. However, she didn’t dare to let the horse run as wildly as Cecilia did. 

Cecilia clicked her tongue, and gracefully dismounted, which left many onlookers in awe. 

She tugged on the reins of Charlotte and mounted the horse behind Charlotte before she could react. Firmly holding the reins, she took control of the horse and said, "I'll take you for a ride. You'll fall in love with the sense of freedom." 

Charlotte screamed, "I...!"
