“Slap your daughter’s face. You could stop when I say so. If you’re reluctant to slap her or if you did not slap hard enough, then I would ask two big and rough men to each slap her a hundred times with the soles of their shoes.”
Jade was stunned. “Madam Ford, what…what did you say?”
Selene was even more frightened that she ended up going limp and fell on the floor with her face covered in tears.
Grace did not intend to repeat herself at all only asked Jade, “Would you do it, or do I find someone else to do it for you?”
“Me! I’ll do it. I’ll do it!” Jade crawled and came to the front of Selene. She raised her hand and gave Selene a big slap.
“Mom…” Selene cried as she looked at her mother.
“It’s better than two men slapping you with the soles of their shoes” Jade raised her hand and gave another slap. The slap landed on Selene’s right cheek.
Jade slapped extremely hard.
It was as if she was afraid Grace would not be satisfied.
Selene let out suppressed wails while she was being slapped, but she did not dare to beg for mercy.
Jade continued slapping until both of her hands were swollen, and she was panting heavily from exhaustion. On the other hand, Selene’s face was already swollen like two big balloons, and both of her cheeks turned into the color of pig’s liver.
Selene looked just like a fat pig.
Sabrina had no sympathy for her at all.
Grace only called a halt when she started ti feel tired as she laid on the bed. “Stop slapping. Take your daughter with you and get lost!”
Jade supported her daughter, who had been beaten silly by the arm, then scrambled and crawled to leave.
After they had left the hospital door, Jade said with great indignation, “Sabrina! I’ll make you pay back this debt twice over!”
Selene cried and looked at Jadde, “Mom…”
Selene’s speech was slurred as if there were two big balls of cotton in her cheeks. “Master Sebastian personally…My face has been beaten like this by you…How could I go to the Ford family with Master Sebastian?” Selene sobbed.
Meanwhile, in the hospital ward, Grace was holding Sabrina’s hand and said, “Sabbie, you’re good to me, and I knew that well. I also want to let you know, although I am in the hospital and dying soon, I still have some power.
“A family banquet would be held at the old Ford Residence in two days. When the time comes, you and Sebastian should attend together.”
Sabrina was speechless.
“The Ford family was going to hold a family banquet?”
She had no idea about it.
Sebastian would not divulge matters like this to an outsider like her.
However, even if there were a Ford family banquet, the person Sebastian would be bringing should be Selene and not her.
When Sabrina wanted to decline, she heard Grace speak again. “I knew you would definitely not like occasions like these, but I would like for you to go. My life’s wish was to be accepted by the Ford family, but I still couldn’t enter the Ford family’s door even when I’m already in this state. I wanted you to visit on my behalf, is that alright, Sabbie?”
Sabrina suddenly burst into tears. “Alright…Alright, Mom. Alright, I would go on your behalf. I would take a picture of the whole Ford family to show you, alright?”
Grace nodded in satisfaction. “You’re truly my good daughter-in-law.”
“Mom, you should rest earlier. I have to go back now. Any later, and the hospital would throw people out.” Sabrina got up and said goodbye to Grace.
Sabrina had just left the hospital when Sebastian, on another end, immediately received a call from Kingston. “Master Sebastian, not long after Mrs. and Miss Lynn left Madam Ford’s ward, Sabrina also came out.”
“Okay,” Sebastian replied briefly, then continued to ask, “The test result from Sabrina’s bag, have you verified it?”
“I’ve verified…” Kingston took a brief pause, then said, “Sabrina is pregnant.”
