Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
After all, rich elderly ladies loved gossiping about other people the most.
The Stewarts had long since become the envy of everyone in New York because all the Stewart sisters had given birth to triplets, yet Helen couldn’t.
Everyone was laughing at them.
As for Nora… When everyone heard that she wasn’t actually that skilled in alternative medicine, they finally heaved a huge sigh of relief.
It couldn’t be helped. Ever since the return of the real young lady of the Smiths, she had already given everyone too many surprises.
After hearing that her medical skills were lacking, everyone finally found her more down-to-earth.
No one ridiculed her, however. In fact…
“Don’t get yourself down, Ms. Smith! You are still young. It’s only natural that the older and more experienced the doctor is in alternative medicine, the better they are!”
“Yes, that’s right. Ms. Smith, alternative medicine pays more attention to relying on talking to the patient, observing the patient’s symptoms, and skillful pulse diagnoses. You have been working behind closed doors and away from the masses previously, so it’s only natural that you would have less experience. Besides, it’s probably very difficult to tell through one’s pulse that they have a condition like asthenospermia, right? Therefore, this is not your fault.”
“Ms. Smith, even though you didn’t inherit the essence of Dr. Zabe’s skills in alternative medicine, it doesn’t matter. After all, you are great at modern medicine! For people like us, our hands would be shaking if we had to hold a scalpel, yet you can even operate on people’s brains! That’s really amazing!”
“Ms. Smith, when are you and Mr. Hunt getting married? Has the wedding date been set?”
A group of women surrounded Nora and chattered away non-stop. Nora felt a headache coming on, and she somewhat regretted attending the party.
It was Helen’s birthday today.
Yes, the day after her divorce was her birthday, but Thomas must have forgotten all about it, right?
In order to wash away the dispirited air around her younger sister, Jessica, the eldest young lady of the Stewarts, had organized a grand birthday party for her.
Jessica, who had married into the Scotts, had six children-four boys and two girls. Her status in the family was also very high.
Since she had personally organized the birthday party, on account of the Scotts, most of the invited guests would attend.
Moreover, Jessica was also intending to seek a new partner for Helen at the birthday party.
The best way to shake off a previous relationship was to start another one right away.
Nora had also been invited, so she was also here.
She nodded at the people around her indifferently and walked to the side.
After she left, the few people said mockingly to the people sucking up to her just now, “She’s not even Mrs. Hunt yet, I don’t know why you people are flattering her so much! Besides, her medical skills aren’t that great either!”
The few of them, however, sneered, “Even if she isn’t Mrs. Hunt, she’s still Ms. Smith. Besides, you make it sound as if you people are that great. I really don’t know what gives you the idea that you can look down on others?”
The people mocking them suddenly choked on their breaths.
Elsewhere, Nora had walked up to Helen, who looked listless and as though she couldn’t get her spirits up at all.
Jessica was lecturing her. “Can’t you psych yourself up a little? Is that scumbag really worth you doing this?”. Helen hung her head and sighed. “Jessica, I’m not doing this for him. But I really find it pointless to announce the truth at the party. So what even if everyone knows that I’m not infertile? Do we want the people approaching the Stewarts to propose marriage only for Stewarts’ ability to reproduce?”
Sometimes, people who had been hurt too deeply found it a chore to even fight back.
Jessica looked as if she had expected better from her, yet she also choked at her words.
At this moment, a flurry of activity suddenly came from the door.
The three of them looked over to see a woman with heavy make-up walking in-it was Cecelia!
Helen’s pupils shrank at once and she stood up.
Cecelia smiled and said, “Helen, it’s your birthday today, so I’ve come to give you a gift. I’d also like to offer you my apologies. Thomas really shouldn’t have spread the truth everywhere like that. His actions are too hurtful towards you…”
Helen, who had looked utterly listless just a second ago, immediately got all fired up!
Nora: “?”
As expected, the one capable of stimulating Helen would only be the enemy she hated the most, right?
Nora raised her eyebrows. Helen clenched her fists and asked hostilely, “What are you doing here?”
Cecelia walked over and sighed. “I am here to give you a gift, of course.”
She handed over the gift box in her hand. “Thomas bought this handbag for me. I think it suits you well, so I’ll just give it to you…”
The handbag that Thomas had bought for her… Thomas had never bought her even a single gift during their three years of marriage!
Helen became even angrier, and she felt like her heart hurt a little.
In the end, what exactly was her three-year-long marriage?! She clutched her chest and took a step back.
Jessica stepped in front of her and said, “Sorry, you are not welcome here.”
Cecelia sighed. “Jessica, you can say that we were close friends back then. There are only so many people in the circle. They may be divorced, but do the Stewarts really want to have a sour relationship with the Livingstones? I’m sure the people attending the birthday party today wouldn’t want to see the two families fall out with each other, either!”
The people around them felt rather awkward at once.
For the sake of the Scotts, they were willing to attend the party, but if they were going to fall out with the Livingstones, then they would be unwilling to see that happen.
Cecelia’s words seemed to force the people present into taking sides—in other words, forcing them to become enemies with the Livingstones.
To be honest, the Livingstones weren’t scary. It was the Hunts who were!
Everyone glanced at Nora and then at Cecelia.
Nora was the Hunts’ future mistress, but Cecelia was part of the Livingstones, and the Livingstones were the elderly Mrs. Hunt’s family.
Would Mrs. Hunt sit by idly and watch the Livingstones get bullied?
For a while there, everyone was thrown into an internal struggle. Had they known this would happen, they would have made up an excuse and skipped the party!
Jessica understood what they were thinking. They were only here as a favor to her so that the divorce wouldn’t look so awful on their part. They had kind intentions, so she couldn’t possibly let the people who had come leave the place unhappily.
Therefore, Jessica said promptly and decisively, “You’re making it sound more serious than it is. What do you mean by a sour relationship or whatnot? Are the Stewarts and the Livingstones going to become enemies just because the two of them have divorced? We are still friends! Besides, I even sent an invitation to the Livingstones for Helen’s birthday party today!”
Cecelia went with the flow and said, “That’s right. Since we are friends, then don’t you welcome your friend here?”
Jessica: “!!”
