You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 513

"Is it a boy or a girl?"

The thought suddenly came to Marvin. As he hadn't seen the child, he didn't even know whether Lucille had given birth to a son or daughter.

"It's a ..."

"Well, no matter if it's a boy or girl, I'll love the child."

Marvin saw that Lucille hesitated to speak on second thought. He seemed to have guessed that the child was a girl; he immediately gave her the assurance that he would love the child no matter the gender.

"Well, it's a girl..."

Lucille nodded.

Hearing that, Alma couldn't hide the disappointment on her face. She complained sarcastically, "Look at your sunken face. I have always known that you wouldn't be able to give birth to a son. See, it's true!"

Previously, Alma thought that if Lucille had given birth to a son and if the child really belonged to Franklin, she had to pretend to be kind and get a tidy sum from the Moore family.

The problem was that Lucille had given birth to a daughter. Even if she was Franklin's child, the Moore family would not accept a daughter.

"That's enough. There's no difference if Lucille has a son or a daughter. Didn't we do quite well with our own two daughters?" Marvin retorted.

"You two should leave..."

Lucille mumbled again.

She was estimating the time. It only took around one hour for the baby's daily bath. If Marvin and Alma remained there, the nurse might bring Aurora back soon. Marvin was fine, he could stay, but if Alma saw that the child had a cleft lip, she would definitely spread the news to Natasha and Franklin.

"Let's go. Your daughter wants you to leave. Why are you still here?"

Alma had long wanted to leave. Lucille kept pestering them to go so it was the perfect excuse for her to leave.

However, Marvin was reluctant. "Since we're already here, why don't we wait and see the child first?"

He was getting on in years. Thus, he was keen to see his little granddaughter.

"No, don't. Newborn children are wrinkly and funny-looking. You can see her in the future." Lucille was afraid that he would stay and wait.

"Let's go! Are you leaving? If you don't want to leave, I'll be going ahead of you first!" Alma had no interest in the child. If it wasn't for Marvin, she wouldn't have come.

"Well, take care of yourself. Where do you live now? I'll visit you when you get discharged."

Marvin thought to himself that Lucille probably did not want Alma to see the child.

"I'll keep in touch."

"Alright."

As Lucille insisted on it, Marvin had to take his leave, together with Alma.

However, just as the two of them walked to the door, they saw a nurse pushing a baby cot into the room.

There was a baby wrapped in a pink quilt on the small bed. As it was a private ward, the baby being pushed into the ward had to be Lucille's child.

As soon as the nurse came over, Marvin and Alma scuttled into the ward.

"This is..."

"Ah! It's so ugly! Why is there a big hole on her face?" Alma shouted.

Marvin could not finish what he was about to say. He was frozen. When Alma saw the child, however, she did not hesitate to mercilessly reveal her thoughts! All her mannerisms were exaggerated.

At the side, the nurse hissed disgustedly when she saw Alma's reaction. "How could you criticize a child like that?"

"Did I say anything wrong?" Alma turned to look at Lucille. "No wonder you didn't want us to see the child. It turns out that you gave birth to a deformed child!"

"Wah! Wah!"

"Aurora!" Lucille called out.

Aurora, who had been a quiet and obedient child so far, seemed to understand Alma's words and burst into tears.

Lucille quickly got out of bed, cradled Aurora, and rebuked Alma angrily. "She's my child. I didn't ask you to come and see her, nor did I invite you to visit me, so please leave!"

She could endure being criticized herself, but not if the criticism was directed towards her child.
