Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Slapping Wendy Quinn Senseless
"She used a needle to poke your butt?" Ivy Linden’s eyes widened in shock, her voice trembling as she asked.
This kind of behavior completely overturned her worldview. How could anyone be so vicious... to the extent of using a needle on a child?
Is this something a human could do?
"Uh-huh, such a long needle, it hurt my butt so much," Nicole gestured with her small hands, then mimicked the action of being poked, her delicate little eyebrows furrowing in pain.
Ivy Linden’s heart ached so much she couldn’t breathe, tears streamed down. The child she treasured was cruelly tortured by Wendy Quinn?
Ivana Monroe was utterly shocked.
Seeing the young Nicole, she seemed to recall her own son.
If someone went bad, they could be utterly vicious, and Wendy Quinn was rotten to the core, just like Michelle Monroe, a person who was vile to the bones.
Even towards children, they could be so malicious.
Ivy Linden hugged Nicole, turned around, and handed Nicole to Ivana Monroe, her eyes red. "Ivana, hold her for me."
Ivana took Nicole into her arms, sensing something was wrong with Ivy. She quickly said, "Ivy, what are you going to do? Calm down."
Calm down?
Ivy Linden’s fingers clenched tightly. At this moment, she couldn’t stay calm at all.
Pinching her child, abusing her child, even using a needle to poke her child.
How could she let Wendy Quinn off after such vile acts?
Ivy Linden glared at Wendy Quinn, like a hen ready for battle.
Wendy Quinn, seeing Ivy Linden rushing over, suddenly felt scared, "Ivy Linden, what are you doing? I’m warning you, I’m pregnant with the Lockwood family’s child. If you dare to touch me, Samuel Lockwood and his mother won’t let you..." off the hook.
Ivy Linden charged forward and slapped Wendy Quinn across the face.
The force was so strong that Wendy was knocked to the ground.
Wendy Quinn was stunned by the slap, before she could react, Ivy was on top of her, pulling her hair and raining slaps on her face.
"This is for hitting my daughter! For abusing my daughter, for poking my daughter with a needle."
Ivy screamed while hitting, her tears streaming down.
She felt too much pain, Nicole was so small to face such cruelty, which pained her more than the needle could pierce her heart.
"Ah~ Help!" Wendy Quinn had no power to fight back, she screamed in vain, feeling her face become numb and swollen, she cried out, "It wasn’t me... Nicole lied, it was Samuel’s mother who did it, it was all her, sobbing... why are you accusing me?"
Still, she won’t admit it?
Ivy Linden slapped harder, until her palm went numb, yet she used all her strength, wildly slapping Wendy’s face.
Did Wendy Quinn think she was an idiot?
Samuel’s mother might dislike her, might be disappointed Nicole wasn’t a boy.
But Samuel’s mother would never abuse Nicole like this, after all, she is Nicole’s grandmother, and usually treats Nicole decently.
"Mommy..." Nicole was frightened by Ivy Linden’s behavior.
Ivana reached out, covered Nicole’s eyes, her lips touched Nicole’s ear gently, she whispered, "Mommy is in pain, so... Nicole should understand mommy’s actions, right?"
Nicole nodded in partial understanding, "Bad woman hit me, mommy hits bad woman... fair."
Ivana smiled.
Yes, that’s right.
It was indeed fair.
People in the park gathered around, one suddenly shouted.
"Stop hitting, she’s bleeding, it’s bleeding from her thigh..."
Ivana saw the crimson liquid flowing from Wendy Quinn, staining her pants, her pupils shrank—it was a sign of miscarriage.
Ivana pressed her lips together, and could only say to Wendy, "Serves you right."
Ivy Linden seemed unable to hear, frantically slapping Wendy.
The onlookers ran to pull Ivy away.
"Miss, stop hitting, this could get someone killed."
"Yeah! It seems like she’s having a miscarriage, if you keep hitting, you could be facing jail time."
Ivy Linden was pulled away.
Ivy wasn’t afraid, looking angrily at Wendy, whose face was so swollen even her own mother wouldn’t recognize her, "You deserve it! When you were abusing my daughter, did you ever think of this day?"
The onlookers roughly understood from listening.
Seeing Wendy Quinn’s expression, they lost sympathy for her.
Tears covered Wendy’s face, feeling a warm flow watering down her body, a bad premonition arose as Ivy was dragged away. As she looked down, her pants had been dyed red with blood, and her whole body chilled.
"The child... my child... call an ambulance quickly."
Wendy was terrified, fearing the child would be lost, knowing Samuel Lockwood already didn’t favor her, if she lost this child, she would truly have no chance left.
Wendy hated Ivy Linden to the bone.
The bitch... she actually pinned her down and slapped her wildly.
Ivy Linden did it on purpose, wanting to get rid of her child.
About ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived.
The moment Wendy Quinn was lifted into the ambulance, she shouted at Ivy, "Ivy Linden, you bitch, you’ll get your comeuppance, you’ll definitely pay for this."
Ivy Linden sneered, "Save your energy! This is your comeuppance right now."
Wendy Quinn was so angered by Ivy that she almost vomited blood.
The doctor said, "Stop yelling, you’re already close to losing your child, and you’re still yelling?"
Wendy was scared to death, "Doctor, please, you have to save my child."
Doctor: "I want to, but your condition is very bad now, this child... is unsure."
Wendy couldn’t accept this, blacked out, and fainted.
Ivana and Ivy, holding Nicole, went to the hospital for a check-up.
Seeing the injuries all over Nicole’s body.
Ivana and Ivy both had eyes red with tears.
The female doctor was outraged, "Isn’t this too much? For such a young girl, to be harmed like this? Even put the whole needle into the child’s backside, is this what humans do?"
Ivana angrily shouted, "This is the work of beasts."
Ivy’s tears poured out.
The female doctor said, "I’ll help you issue an injury report, you’d better report to the police! We must severely punish the scumbag who abused the child."
Ivana replied, "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor examined Nicole’s injuries, prescribed medication, and advised Ivy and Ivana to properly counsel Nicole.
Because physical injuries from abuse heal easily, but the psychological wounds are not as easy to mend.
Ivy said, "Understood, thank you, Dr. Hawkins."
Back at the villa.
Timmy and Ian were already home from school.
"Little sister." Timmy saw Nicole, his handsome little face full of joy, he ran over and said with a smile, "Welcome to our home."
"Big brother." In Ivana’s arms, Nicole responded with a smile upon seeing Timmy.
Ivana watched the interaction between the two children, perhaps with Timmy’s company, Nicole would gradually forget the painful things.
Ian Keane walked up to Ivana’s side, frowning, "Put her down."
