But Nathaniel frowned. "Hilda, what are you talking about? Women are most fragile when they're pregnant. Your husband has to earn money to support the family. If you don't have someone else to take care of you, what if you fall by accident? You may be fine, but the baby may not make it. If you give birth to a disabled child, the Mallord family won't spare you."
Nathaniel threatened me with the baby in my belly, completely disregarding my feelings.
What was even more annoying was that my mom also chimed in, "That's right. If you give birth to a child with cerebral palsy, your whole life will be ruined. It's better to have someone else to take care of you."
"Mom, I'll say this again. I'm very healthy and don't need anyone to take care of me. Even if I buy groceries, I can still choose by myself based on whether I need them or not. You can't force me to let Jessica move into my house, can you?"
I was really angry now and had no patience to argue with them.
I'd rather spend my time making money or doing something else than wasting my time arguing with them.
"Hilda, how can you say that? What do you mean by forcing you to let Jessica move into your house? Your uncle said that for your own good. They're willing to let Jessica come and help you so that others won't gossip something bad about you behind your back. Even if you don't care about us, you can't say something so rude like that. When did you become so ungrateful?"
Margery scolded me angrily, complaining nonstop.
Now, the last affection I had for her had gone.
I sneered in my heart, Is this her so-called caring about me?
How shameless.
Which mom would force her daughter to live with a troublemaker? Doesn't she know Jessica can't help me at all? I really wish they were not my relatives.
Hearing the commotion outside, Jessica finally walked out of my study.
