Harlan never thought he'd actually lay a hand on Drusilla...
Drusilla looked at him with a smirk, "Go on, do it. Strangle me. I'd love to see if you actually have the guts!"
Harlan sneered back, "Why wouldn't I, Drusilla? I've never met a more venomous woman!"
She knew Lilith was nearby and had deliberately said those things.
At the time, he hadn’t realized it, but now everything was crystal clear. She was trying to drive a wedge between him and Lilith.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, his grip on Drusilla's neck tightened.
Cybele was beside herself with worry, "Mr. Stanton!"
What was she supposed to do now?
Just then, Saskia emerged from the hospital room. Seeing the commotion, she rushed over, blocking Harlan, "Harlan, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"
"She took my child from me! I want her to pay!" Harlan's eyes were filled with nothing but hatred.
Drusilla rubbed her neck, still feeling the sting from his grip, unable to speak just yet.
Saskia stood there, knowing Drusilla had dirt on Harlan. She couldn’t afford to cross Drusilla, so she turned to Harlan and said, "Get a grip! Drusilla had nothing to do with this. Losing the baby was an accident. The doctors said it was because of Lilith’s health."
Saskia dared not point fingers at Drusilla, fearing that if she did, Drusilla might ruin the Stanton family beyond repair.
Harlan was shocked to hear his mother defending Drusilla. She had always been the one to dislike her the most. "Mom, have you gone mad?"
Drusilla, hearing Lilith’s accusation, simply said, "I'm sorry for your loss, Lilith. Please, take care of yourself."
Lilith let out a bitter laugh, "How disgusting! My child is gone, and you must be thrilled! Spare me your fake concern."
Blythe stayed by Lilith’s side, gently patting her on the head. She looked at Drusilla and said softly, "Drusilla, please leave."
Drusilla nodded and left the room.
As she stepped out, she saw Kendrick Larkin approaching. He had rushed back as soon as he’d heard about Lilith’s accident. He had been abroad when Lilith was pregnant, and now, he was too late to meet his child.
Kendrick glanced at Harlan standing by the door and, without a word, landed a stinging slap across his face.
