Transmigrated as the Villain Boss's Precious Darling
Chapter 228: There’s a Little Brother
Tang Xiaonan couldn’t help but shudder. A chill ran down her spine. The more she thought about it, the more terrifying the Golding family seemed—and Jacqueline Spann, too. ’She has the Golding family’s vicious genes in her. So, what the author wrote was total bullshit.’
’Jacqueline Spann is definitely not as wonderful as the author made her out to be.’
Tang Xiaonan gritted her teeth. ’I have to assume the worst in every situation.’ Right now, she was convinced that Jacqueline Spann’s entire family, including Jacqueline herself, were all insidious, vicious, and cunning schemers.
’This medicine is definitely a no-go. Based on the timeline, Lana Steiner should already have a baby in her belly. No wonder she looks so pale. She barely ate anything at dinner earlier, just moved her chopsticks a few times before stopping.’
"This is the medicine Linden Golding’s mother recommended?" Frederick Thorne frowned. "Mom, how can you believe a word she says? You can’t take this medicine." He had no love for Phoenix Golding’s family either.
Besides, there was something he had never mentioned before: the fact that Phoenix Golding had once relentlessly pursued him. Frederick Thorne even had a nagging suspicion that Phoenix hadn’t genuinely liked his older brother; she had just done it to spite him.
But Frederick Thorne wasn’t certain. Plus, Felix had been utterly devoted to Phoenix Golding at the time, and he worried that revealing this would damage his relationship with his brother. So, he kept it to himself. Thank God Phoenix never married into their family, or he would have felt disgusted for the rest of his life.
"Why can’t she take it? This ’Fairy Liu’ is truly famous in Rosillia Village. It’s not just Linden’s mother saying so. I went to Rosillia Village myself to ask around, and they all say her remedies are incredibly effective."
Raina was not pleased. She had paid a steep price—ten yuan—for this medicine. She didn’t even spend ten yuan in six months at home; it hurt more than carving a piece of her own flesh. But for the sake of having a grandchild, she had to get it, no matter the cost.
"You’re both almost forty. If you don’t have a child now, you never will! You have to have at least one, boy or girl, it doesn’t matter. What kind of family has no children? A home like that lacks any warmth."
Raina had started off trying to reason with them, but she grew more agitated as she spoke, her voice rising considerably. Lana Steiner quickly promised she would take the medicine. Effective or not, she would drink it just to keep her mother-in-law from getting upset.
Seeing Lana Steiner’s compliance, Raina’s expression softened slightly. In truth, she didn’t want to pressure her daughter-in-law, but what could she do when Lana’s womb was so "uncooperative"? They’d been married for over a decade, and she still hadn’t conceived. Any other family would have sent her packing long ago.
"There’s a baby brother! Second Uncle’s family has a baby brother!" Tang Xiaonan suddenly yelled.
She suddenly felt her foresight was brilliant. By establishing her persona as a reincarnated immortal beforehand, she no longer had to worry about people not believing what she said.
Raina’s lecturing came to an abrupt halt. The room fell silent as everyone’s eyes snapped toward Tang Xiaonan.
"What baby brother? Xiaonan, where did you see a baby brother?" Byron Thorne asked, suppressing his excitement. He immediately understood what Tang Xiaonan was implying.
"Here. There’s a baby brother in Second Aunt’s tummy."
Tang Xiaonan gently patted Lana Steiner’s stomach, her expression earnest. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
The room grew even quieter, the silence broken only by the sound of heavy breathing. Lana Steiner and Frederick Thorne stared at each other, hardly daring to believe their ears. ’How could I be pregnant?’
But they had also heard that children’s words held a special power. Tang Xiaonan’s sudden declaration of a baby brother compelled them to believe, despite themselves. If it were true, it would be simply wonderful.
"Xiaonan, how do you know there’s a baby brother? Did you see him?" Frederick Thorne’s voice trembled. Lana Steiner held her breath, waiting for Tang Xiaonan’s affirmation before she could dare to breathe again.
"There’s a baby brother, and he called me ’big sister’."
Tang Xiaonan didn’t elaborate, simply sticking to her story that there was a baby brother. ’After all, I’m only six. I don’t need to explain everything clearly.’ Just stating the outcome was enough. Given how desperate Frederick Thorne and Lana Steiner were for a child, they would definitely go to the hospital to get it confirmed.
