Elinor was eyeing Tracy with furrowed brows. "Auntie Tracy, are you sure?"
Tracy broke out into a cackle. "My own flesh and blood, how could I not know who the kid's dad is? Elinor, if you're trying to use this to knock me down, you've got the wrong idea. Sheila really is mine and Arnold's kid! Hahaha..."
Elinor slightly raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat dissatisfied. "Really? And why would Pollock be okay with raising a kid that's not his with another man?"
Mentioning Pollock, Tracy gave her a disdainful look. "You, a nobody, don’t deserve to know the reason! Anyway, wait till the paternity test results are out, and you'll get a scolding from your dad! Sheila and I, we'll get even more of your father's love and care!"
Then the hospital room door was flung open, and Pollock stormed in with a face full of fury. "Tracy, you dared to lie to me; Sheila isn't even my kid!"
Seeing her old flame Pollock show up out of the blue, Tracy was taken aback; her face suddenly turned pale. "You...how did you get in here?"
Pollock snorted contemptuously. "Wasn't it you who texted me, saying you're hurt and asking me to come see you? I was worried sick about you all the way here!"
Tracy shook her head. "I...I didn't! When did I text you? Hmm? Where's my phone?"
As she was looking for her phone while explaining, she realized it was missing.
Just as Tracy was getting frantic, Elinor walked up, handing her the phone with an innocent look. "Your phone fell out when you were getting examined, Auntie Tracy. I picked it up to hold onto it for you. No need to thank me."
Tracy was dumbfounded, then it hit her. "You! Elinor, did you take my phone and text Pollock?"
Elinor gave a slight smile.
