Mrs. Gibson Your identity is Exposed

Chapter 852 Wishful thinking

Following Melissa’s advice, Harley sat on a corridor bench, as if an enemy was approaching and he

was some sort of guard looking over Nina. Melissa had left him and returned inside the ward and

Muray Gibson had just entered the ward some minutes ago with tie glasses on a tray; one filled to the

brim with water, the other filled with some sort of juice.

From the ward which was initially silent, he could hear echoes of voices conversing accompanied by

muffled sounds of laughter and he couldn’t help but smile. As long as Nina was safe and sound and

happy, it didn’t matter to him if she never forgave him.

Because he spent a greater half of the previous night in deep thought, he began to feel a little tired. But

that couldn’t be compared to the emptiness he felt in his heart anytime he thought about resolving the

issue between him and Nina. Now that their daughter has already been born, at least for the sake of

their child, it was high time whatever misunderstandings and grievances between them be resolved.

While Harley was still buried in thought, footsteps approached where he sat. Sighing, he raised his

bowed head only to see Tom walking slowly with an insulated lunch box in his hand. Seeing this man

appear, the tiredness on Harley’s face disappeared instantly and was replaced with an alarmed and

furious look.

“What are you doing here? Nina doesn’t need your care!” Harley blurted out, jumping to his feet.

Looking at Harley coldly, Tom replied disdainfully: “Must you always display your shamelessness? Why

can’t I come over to see Nina?” He paused to raise the insulation box in his hand, and said with a bit of

provocation: “Don’t you see it? This is the pregnancy meal I made for Nina. I’m not like you who only

boast but don’t do anything for Nina!”

Harley knew where this was heading to. It was just one of Tom’s numerous ploys in an attempt to try to

win Nina’s heart over. Sensing this, Timothy stopped at the door to prevent Tom from entering, staring

at him coldly and warning: “Nina is my daughter’s mother. You’d better get away before I do my worst!”

“Don’t be too confident in yourself,” Tom retorted. “In the eyes of Nina’s parents, you are a scumbag

who is not as good as I am for their daughter.”

The two spent the next minute abusing each other verbally in front of the door of the ward. Soon

enough Nina heard Tom quarrelling with Harley in the hallway and had to ask Melissa to open the door

and invite him to avoid publicity.

“Mr. Warren, Nina let you in,” Melissa said, smiling at Tom while casting a sympathetic look at Harley.

Hearing this, Tom sent Harley a cold star and satirized smirk before entering the ward with brisk steps.

Seeing this, Harley felt jealous and sullen in his heart. He wanted to get angry but had nowhere to vent,

so he could only sit back on the bench and let his hurt tear him apart from the inside.

A few minutes later, Melissa and Murray said their goodbyes and left, and Harley was left on the edge

of his seat. He wanted to rush into the ward to confront Tom but was worried that Nina’s mood would

be affected. Creeping to the door of the ward, Harley saw Tom feeding Nina breakfast through the

crack of the door and his heart threatened to burst through his chest in rage.

“Nina, now you need to supplement nutrition. I made it, especially for you. You should eat more,”

advises Tom, being the gentleman he was.

After drinking a mouthful of porridge, Nina said embarrassedly, “Tom, I’ll be taken care of by my parents

for the next few days in the hospital. You still have to go to work, so don’t run around every day.”

“I come here out of love. I do not feel burdened at all,” replied

Tom, his voice extremely gentle as he helped Nina to peel the boiled egg. “As long as you want, I can

take care of you and your daughter for a lifetime!”

Upon hearing Tom’s offer, Nina didn’t know how to answer. But after some thought, she politely

refused.

“Tom, you are still young, you have your own life, I can’t drag you down with my children.”

“Nina, no one is dragging anyone down. If it wasn’t for Mr.

Timothy, I’m sure I would have been a father long ago,” Tom replied, sighing reluctantly. He was ready

to reunite with Nina and was willing to accept the newborn child.

Outside the door, Harley’s eyes and ears grew red and he fought down the urge to rush at Tom out and

beat him up to a pulp. Clenching his fists tightly, Harley realized that if he did not fight now, not only

would he lose Nina, but even his daughter would grow up beside her adoptive father. Before he could

swing his attack into motion, a familiar voice from behind interrupted him, sending cold chills down his

spine.

“Harley, are you here to pester my daughter again?”

The voice belonged to Nina’s father; Kasen Paul, and the sound of the question, Harley froze and when

he finally regained his strength, he turned to see Nina’s parents glaring at him.

This time Harley acted very calmly. He knew he was the least favoured in Kasen Paul’s eyes, so he

tried as much as possible to remain calm.

“No, Mr. Timothy. I just came to see Nina, and I am relieved to know that she woke up.”

“You shouldn’t pretend to be a good person at this time. If you cared about her, you wouldn’t have done

anything wrong to her when she was pregnant!” Ariana, Nina’s mother, spat, curling her lips in disdain.

Harley couldn’t argue. Even though he had stayed sober and was completely off liquor for the past

couple of months, there was no way he could prove his innocence.

“Sorry Mrs. Ariana…”

Harley suppressed all his anger and knew he had to walk off, down the hallway and out of the hospital.

But deep down, he didn’t want Tom to succeed in snatching Nina from him.

Just before leaving, Harley smiled at Kasen Paul and said calmly, “Then I won’t disturb Nina for now.

Anyway, Tom is taking care of her, so it’s not convenient for me to enter.”

Kasen Paul was stunned when he heard Tom’s name.

“What did you say? Tom is in the ward?”

Ariana’s expression also changed, and without waiting for Harley to respond, she hurried in followed by

Kasen Paul who en saw

Tom eating with Nina, and he was furious. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Tom, my daughter doesn’t need you to take care of her! Take your things and leave immediately!”

Kasen Paul was also in a panic, seeing Tom sitting beside the hospital bed in a daze. He went straight

up and dragged Tom aside.

“I told you a long time ago that my daughter will never marry you in her life. Stop wishful thinking!”

Kasen Paul’s eyes were red, and he was interrupted by the shouting of Nina before he could finish

speaking.

“Dad! Tom didn’t do anything wrong, please don’t be so violent!”

At this time, Nina was beginning to spot a headache. She knew that his parents did not like Tom from

the outset and they looked down on him mainly because of his rural origin.

But Kasen Paul turned a deaf ear to his daughter’s protest, grabbed

Tom’s collar and scolded: “You should die. A poor boy like you is not worthy of Nina, you don’t want to

eat swan meat anymore!” Almost immediately he pushed Tom into the corridor despite Nina’s pleas

from the bed.

Seeing Tom being kicked out of the ward was Harley. He enjoyed it as Tom stumbled on the floor

beside him. Harley used the medium to vent his anger by hurling the cup of cold water at him.

“I warned you a long time ago, didn’t I? Chasing after Nina would only result in you humiliating

yourself!” Harley mocked and was about to take a step forward when he saw Ariana bring out the

insulation box.

“Don’t harass my daughter again, Nina won’t eat what you make!” Mrs Ariana warned. She then tucked

the incubator into Tom’s hand and closed the door of the ward tightly behind her.
