Chapter 499 Was the child in Lola's belly Mr. Zackary's own flesh and blood?!

The extent of Lola's shamelessness once again shattered Cornelia's worldview.

She really hadn't expected that, facing her as a doctor, she would dare to tell such a lie.

"Zackary loved me, he cared deeply about the child in my belly! In his heart, the child and I were the most important people in his life, if anything happened to us, he wouldn't be able to go on!"

"I knew you cared about Penelope, but you certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to Zackary. The way you're pushing me, it's as if you're trying to kill Zackary!"

Lola placed her hand protectively over her stomach, as if there was truly a precious treasure inside.

Penelope knew that her heart shouldn't have any more fluctuations for Zackary, but upon hearing Lola say that she was pregnant, her heart still involuntarily twitched.

She subtly pressed her chest, quickly regaining her composure.

Scumbag men and cheap women, they always managed to produce something.

Perhaps, once they had their own children, they would no longer monopolize her Ethan. In that case, Ethan would be just fine after her death, whether he was with Cornelia or Chelsea.

In that way, she would feel very, very at ease down there.

Seeing the room fall into an eerie silence for a moment, Lola felt certain that her words had had an effect. She pressed on, "Aunt Cornelia, I know I've made mistakes, but I've realized my wrongs. Moreover, the child in my belly is your own grandchild. Even if you don't like me, you can't ignore your own grandchild!"

"Dear grandson?"

Cornelia sneered, "I only have one biological grandson, Ethan!"

"Lola, don't tell me you're not pregnant now. Even if you really were carrying that bastard Zackary's child, the Spencer family wouldn't want it!"

"Aunt Cornelia, what do you mean by that?! How could I possibly not be pregnant?! I've been pregnant for over a month, I..."

"Lola, you surely don't think that after all these years of being a doctor, I can't even tell if someone is pregnant or not?"

"But just now you took my pulse, only to see how many kidneys I actually have, how could it..."

Cornelia didn't even want to talk to Lola anymore, she truly thought she was a malicious idiot. Looking at the overall pulse, when she took her pulse, she naturally couldn't ignore if there were any other abnormalities in her body.

"Take her away!" Dalton had no patience left, he coldly ordered his assistant.

"No! You can't do this to me! Dad, I've called you dad for four years, how could you do this to me!"

Lola frantically pulled out her phone and started calling Zackary for help.

She knew in her heart, under the current circumstances, only Zackary could save her.

Zackary had unwavering faith in her. Even if he knew that she was the one who hurt Chelsea, with his character of repaying kindness, he would go to great lengths to protect her. He also wouldn't believe that she hadn't lost a kidney for him.

Zackary's phone could not be reached.

She could only send a distress message to that person quietly, before Dalton's assistant snatched the phone, and then quickly delete it.

Lola still refused to be taken away like this, because she knew clearly in her heart that being locked up would inevitably bring physical pain.

But the disparity in strength was too obvious. No matter how she struggled and resisted, in the end, she was forcibly dragged away by Dalton's men.

What she had inflicted on Ethan, those people indeed returned to her several times over. Long needles were ruthlessly jabbed into her, until she screamed herself hoarse, unable to even let out a cry of agony.

After Lola was taken away, the air in the room finally became somewhat fresher.

Cornelia carefully took Ethan's pulse, thankfully, although Lola's injection was harsh, she didn't actually perform surgery on Ethan, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

However, Ethan's physical condition was really poor, severely deficient. He had to take good care of himself, otherwise, not only would his leg not recover in the future, but he would also have difficulty living past twenty.

Afraid that Chelsea would be too upset, Cornelia and the others didn't mention Penelope's illness again.

Chelsea and Dalton were really good to Penelope, it was a kind of care and love from the heart, which made her feel an unprecedented warmth in her heart.

That was, the warmth of home.

Ethan, Dalton, and Chelsea all got along exceptionally well. He was truly cherished by everyone, treated like a treasure.

Her Ethan, who was originally the most adorable treasure, should have received the warmest love.

Penelope was truly, truly content with everything at present. She had a father, a mother, a brother, and a lovely son. Her life was really complete. The only thing that upset her was that she couldn't spend much more time with her parents.

She was still afraid, that losing her would make them very, very sad.

She could only, with all her might, live a few more days.

However, even if she gave it her all, how many more days could she live?

She heard Lyman quietly ask Cornelia again, she said, in the past few days, she could fall at any moment, and sleep for a long time without waking up.

Chelsea had finally found Penelope, so of course she wanted her to stay by her side.

In the last few days of her life, Penelope wanted to spend quality time with her parents. She didn't refuse Chelsea, she moved into the Hilliard family with Ethan.

Chelsea had just woken up, but today, she was exceptionally excited, constantly busy, and never felt tired.

She had bought Penelope lots and lots of clothes and jewelry, as well as various high-end cosmetics.

Pushing open the door to her walk-in closet, Penelope was stunned. So many clothes, so much jewelry - even if she wore something different every day, it would take her several years to try them all on. But she didn't have that many years left.

Wished to spend more time with her parents.

The Hilliard's villa had clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of daily necessities. Penelope couldn't be bothered to move her clothes and items from her small apartment over.

However, there were still a few important things in her small apartment, and she planned to bring them over in the evening.

Chelsea was worried that she would be bullied, so Dalton arranged several formidable bodyguards for her. There were always a few imposing bodyguards following her, which she found quite awkward. However, it was her parents' good intentions, so she couldn't refuse.

The car stopped outside the residential area. As Penelope got out of the car, four tall and straight bodyguards stood behind her. Suddenly, she felt as if she was a gang leader.

Just as Penelope was about to enter the community, she saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The girl at the Civil Affairs Bureau, who was said to be Everett's daughter, was Rylee Murray.

Rylee was some distance away from her, panting heavily. Clearly, someone was chasing her.

Penelope soon saw the people chasing her, a group of men dressed in black. The man at the front quickly blocked her path, forcefully lifted her up, stuffed her into a large hemp sack, and carried her away.
