Chapter 244 Going Insane
Nathan rushed to the police station after receiving the call. When Rowane noticed Nathan's initial
tender expression had turned hard, she felt incredibly guilty. She had never dreamed that the person
she loved would be the same Nathan who had been Irene's guardian for the past nine years. Why was
it that the person she liked always had something to do with Irene? First, it had been Edric. Now, it was
Nathan.
She was pregnant with Nathan's child now. As Nathan despised her, Rowane did not want Nathan to
misunderstand her any further. The moment she saw Nathan, she told Nathan everything that had
happened to her.
Nathan had heard from Jordan that Rowane was a woman with an evil heart. So, he had begun to This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
loathe her. Now, he knew that she had been deceived by Marie, and his hatred towards
Rowane naturally dissipated. Hence, Nathan decided to bring Rowane back to Haverland.
When Edric heard that Nathan was bringing Rowane back to Haverland, he went to look for Irene. He
told Irene that Marie had sent an assassin to kill Rowane, which resulted in her losing her memories,
but she was eventually saved by Nathan.
Irene was not a fool. After listening to what Eric told her, she instantly knew that the woman with whom
Nathan had an affair with was Rowane. Her face darkened and thus she had a bad impression of
Rowane.
She was a nice person, but she had chosen to be Edric's lover. Although she had only been acting as a
lover, she had done something indecent. Moreover, she felt even irritated upon knowing that Rowane
had confidently confronted her about Edric's matter.
In the end, Edric had fallen into Rowane's trap. If it was not for Lily having her period at that time, Edric
would definitely have had an affair with Lily. How could such a disgusting woman ended up in Nathan's
bed? More importantly, Rowane was bearing Nathan's child. Irene could not believe that Rowane had
lost her memories. She suspected that Rowane was only pretending to do so hence she could not
allow such a woman like Rowane to harm Nathan. She had to tell Nathan everything.
Edric knew Irene was not at peace. He told Irene, "Irene, I have yet to tell you one more thing. Rowane
might be your stepsister from another mother."
"How is that possible?" Irene exclaimed in surprise.
Edric told Irene everything that Simon had shared with him. Irene did not expect that things had turned
out back then. If Rowane was indeed the daughter to both Steven and Marie, then this matter would be
complicated.
Rowane followed Nathan back to Haverland and immediately went to speak to Irene. She apologized
and begged Irene for forgiveness. Since Irene was kind-hearted in nature, the hatred in her vanished
because she understood that Rowane's wrongdoings had been because she had no other way.
Moreover, Rowane had even gone to her sincerely to beg for her forgiveness.
Upon seeing Rowane's facial features which were similar to hers, Irene realized that she
might indeed be her stepsister. At that instant, her heart softened even further, and she forgave
Rowane.
Steven only had a few more days to live. If Rowane was indeed the daughter of Steven and Marie,
Steven had to know about it before he passed away.
Irene requested Edric to perform a paternity test for Rowane and Steven. The results soon revealed
that Rowane was indeed Steven's daughter.
Rowane was delighted to know that she was Irene's stepsister. She finally found a family member.
However, the next big problem arose. Suppose Marie, her own mother, had planned Irene's mother's
death. Did that mean Irene would not acknowledge her as her stepsister due to the resentment she
felt?
Marie had let Irene and her mother down too much, and she had done a few unforgivable things
towards Irene. She was the reason why Edric and Irene got separated in the beginning. Now that Irene
and Nathan planned to get together, she was pregnant with Nathan's child instead. She had once again
become a stumbling block for Irene.
Rowane admired Nathan a lot and was willing to have Nathan's children. Since Irene had given birth to
two children for Edric and he loved Irene deeply, she hoped that Irene and Edric would get together
again. Then, her dream to be with Nathan could be fulfilled. However, she realized she was being too
selfish after thinking about it.
Nathan's lover was not her. It would be unreasonable for her to use the child to make Nathan stay by
her side. Nathan had loved Irene for many years, so she should give him a chance to fulfill his dreams.
Irene felt a mess of emotions at the same time. If Rowane was not related to her by blood, she could
still accept that she had had an affair with Nathan. However, Rowane was her stepsister. No matter if
they had been being set up or not, she could not get over that very real truth.
For the past few days, Irene could tell that Rowane loved Nathan quite a lot. She often looked at
Nathan affectionately. Thus, Irene weighed her feelings towards Nathan to see if they were comparable
to Rowane's pure passion for him. In the end, she chose to back off.
Steven's body condition was deteriorating. Steven had to know about the fact that Rowane was his
daughter before it was too late. However, Irene could not bring herself to break the news to him
because she was worried that Steven would be badly affected by it.
Edric knew what she was thinking and volunteered to do it himself. Irene was at a dead end, so she
agreed to Edric's suggestion.
Nathan was not feeling any better either. He had been hoping that Irene could forgive him. However,
after he knew that Rowane was Irene's stepsister, Nathan was certain that he could no longer stay
beside Irene anymore.
Nathan felt excruciatingly heartbroken. He had thought that his love for Irene could bloom, but he did
not expect it to turn out as it did. Rowane got even sadder upon seeing Nathan's pain.
Therefore, she was determined to get rid of the child. So, Rowane secretly went to the hospital all by
herself. She felt a mix of emotions as she stood in the hospital hall. She repeatedly mumbled to herself
as if she was talking to the baby, "Baby, it's not that I don't want you. Mommy has no choice! Please
forgive me!"
Finally, she mustered up the courage to enter the gynecology department. After understanding that she
wanted to remove the child, the doctor gave her instructions before requesting her to pay the fees.
Rowane took the bill and went to the counter to pay. However, she stumbled upon Marie on her way
there. Marie, who had already recovered, was being escorted by two policewomen to the prison. When
she saw Rowane clad in a white outfit as she held on the bill, she shrieked in fear. Had she just seen a
ghost in broad daylight?
Margaret had not shared with Rowane that she was supposed to be dead because she wanted Marie
to endure her own conscience's condemnation. When Marie saw Rowane in her white outfit, Marie was
scared out of her wits and could not help thinking of spirits.
Was it because Rowane had died unjustly and she came back to haunt her? During this period of time,
she had been under constant stress every day, and her brain was a mess. Her nerves were incredibly
frazzled.
After Rowane completed her payment, she turned back and saw Marie. Rowane despised her
biological mother. She would rather die than know the truth. So, she decided to ask her a few questions
as she approached Marie while holding on to her receipt.
Marie was terrified as she watched Rowane walking towards her. She was going mad because of the
sleepless nights. She immediately trembled and screamed, "Ghost! Ghost! There's a ghost!"
"One will not feel guilty if they have done nothing wrong. Dr. Walker, what ghost are you so afraid of?"
the policeman escorting her scolded.
"Look, it's a ghost! The ghost is coming to get me!" Marie pointed at Rowane as she shivered in horror.
"What ghost is there? Isn't she a human?" the police reminded her.
How could Marie believe them? She was horrified to see Rowane coming towards her. She let out a
deafening scream and broke free from the two policewomen's grasps. The policewomen chased after
her, but Marie was scrambling mindlessly as she continued to scream. As a result, she missed a step
and fell down the stairs.
Rowane was stunned to witness Marie falling down the stairs. Although she hated Marie, Marie was
still her mother. Rowane was a kind-hearted person, so she was worried if Marie got injured. She
hurried down to see if Marie was okay.
Marie was drenched in blood due to the fall. Rowane felt extremely sorry upon seeing her in a state like
that and reached out to help Marie up. Later, Marie was sent to the emergency room for rescue. She
had broken her leg from the fall and had to be hospitalized again for treatment.
Rowane felt sorrowful to know that Marie had broken her legs. Hence, she did not leave the hospital
and stayed in the ward until Marie woke up. When Marie woke up, the first thing that entered her vision
was Rowane standing in front of her. Rowane had held Marie up just now, so her white clothes were
stained with blood. It was a horrifying scene. At that moment, Marie assumed that Rowane's ghost had
come to take her. She was already in a fraught state, and upon seeing Rowane, Marie let out an ear-
splitting scream.
Marie had gone mad! She was out of her mind because of all the evil deeds from the past!
Meanwhile, Rowane's sudden disappearance frightened Irene, Edric, and Nathan. She had switched
off her phone, therefore they could not find her at all.
Then, someone mentioned that Rowane had gone to the hospital. Irene and Nathan exchanged
glances and understood what Rowane's intentions were. They immediately rushed to the hospital.
None of them spoke a word on their way there. Irene was not a cruel person, and Rowane was her
stepsister. How could she bear to let her get rid of the baby? Naturally, Edric did not wish for Rowane to
get rid of the child either and really hoped that the child could be born. That way, he could have a
chance to get back with Irene.
Nathan felt a mess of emotions too. He did not hate Rowane. He felt solemn to see that such a young
girl like her had to undergo such a painful experience.
Rowane was innocent. She should not have suffered such pain.
The three rushed to the hospital and then to the operating room. When they failed to see Rowane in
the operating room, they immediately asked the doctor what had happened. Fortunately, the doctor
said that he had not performed any surgery on such a person, and they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Three of them searched the hospital separately. In the end, they found Rowane outside of Marie's
ward. Rowane was pale due to shock from Marie's insanity as she stood dumbfoundedly outside of her
ward. She watched as the doctor gave Marie a tranquilizer.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice and turned back. The moment she saw Irene, tears rolled down
her cheeks. Irene whined, "Why didn't you tell us your whereabouts and just left without a word? And
why are you here? You've freaked all of us out!"
Rowane could not hold it in any longer after listening to Irene's complaints. Although Irene was whining,
she could sense the concern and worry Irene held for her. It was the first time for Rowane to feel
affection from her loved ones. She threw herself at Irene and hugged her. She cried out loud, saying,
"Irene! My mother has gone mad!"
