Orphan To Unbreakable Queen - Chapter 133: Chapter 133

The car pulled up at the City Hospital downstairs. Before getting out, Aubree glanced at Bowen. 'Aren't you coming with me?' she thought.
Bowen smiled gently, his eyes full of doting affection, as if an iceberg had melted into a warm ocean. "Go ahead. You can handle this."
His Breeze was smart, rational, and brave. She would grow step by step into an unshakable towering tree. What he would do was clear the unnecessary obstacles from her path.
Stanley had accompanied Arthur to the Military Hospital, leaving Lynn and Arthur's grandparents behind. Lynn hid in a ward, while the elderly couple desperately tried to block the reporters attempting to barge in for an interview.
Ethan and Samson were leading a team of bodyguards clearing the path. The moment the reporters spotted Aubree, they lunged forward like a pack of starved wolves catching the scent of prey.
Fortunately, Ethan and his team were around, stopping the frenzied reporters from getting anywhere near her.
"Would you please step aside? I need to speak with Mrs. Morgan," Aubree said politely.
Aubree was polite. The two elders recognized her and glared at her with undisguised hatred, wishing they could tear her apart.
"You murderer! Is ruining my grandson not enough for you? And now you're after my daughter-in-law, too? Get out!" the two shouted.
At that moment, Ethan and his team had already pushed the reporters out into the hallway, while Samson and two bodyguards stayed to protect Aubree. Therefore, the two only snarled empty threats and did nothing.
"Without me here, those reporters would've already barged in, right? Mrs. Morgan clearly doesn't want to be seen. Should I call them back?" Aubree's smile remained unchanged, yet it sent chills down the elderly couple's spines.
'We've lived our whole lives, and yet we were frightened by this little brat?' the two thought to themselves.
'But what exactly did she mean by those words?' they wondered.
The elderly couple exchanged uneasy glances. Without their son's presence, they were at a loss. 'But he did say that no one was allowed to be in, and the daughter-in-law's pregnancy must be kept a secret,' they thought.
Aubree wasn't in a hurry; she was waiting. The commotion outside was loud enough for Lynn to hear from the room.
True enough, her voice came from the ward. "Miss Miller, talk to me if there's anything. Please don't make things difficult for my in-laws. They're elderly and can't take stress," Lynn said.
Interesting! They could stand up to bodyguards but crumble at my words?' Aubree thought, speechless for a moment. 'But none of that really matters; as long as I achieve my goal.'
Aubree stepped into the ward with Samson standing guard outside, and even Arthur's grandparents couldn't get close.
Lynn sat by the window; her baby bump was prominent. Just by appearance alone, she looked thoughtful and intelligent. The Morgan family was indeed a well-educated household. Otherwise, they wouldn't have placed such high expectations on their child.
"Miss Miller, what do you want to talk to me about? Let me make it clear. The Morgan family will not take back our words," Lynn said. The unspoken meaning was clear; she had no intention of betraying Ronald.
Aubree hummed in acknowledgment and took a seat. "Mrs. Morgan, please don't get agitated. It's not good for the baby," she said.
Lynn instinctively shielded her pregnant belly with both hands. Seeing the scene, a pang of inexplicable sorrow welled up inside Aubree.
'Arthur's just a kid. He merely wants to break free from his parents' so-called 'good intentions.' Yet they treat him as if he were disposable, tossing him aside without a second thought. Isn't that what happened to me in my previous life?' she thought.
No, he was braver. He dared to fight back while in my previous life, I had only obeyed,' Aubree thought.
"I'd like to talk with you about how Arthur ended up in this vegetative state, relying on various life support systems to keep his vital signs going," Abree said.
Lynn's face darkened. She had made up her mind that no matter what Aubree said, she wouldn't listen to her.
Aubree studied her expression and thought, 'So, you think the more you say, the more likely you'll slip up and refuse to talk to me? Still, your expression has answered many of my questions.'
Seeing that Lynn was not responding, Aubree continued, "As far as I understand, you, Mr. Morgan, and the elders at home are all extremely strict, especially when it comes to your child.
"You mapped out Arthur's entire future, deciding exactly what he should be doing at every stage of his life, with everything expected to meet your standards."
Lynn's eyes flickered at Aubree's words, and her gaze snapped toward her.
"In junior high school, Arthur was expected to score well to get into Rithol High School. Coincidentally, that's the school I currently attend," Aubree said, her tone relaxed and casual as if chatting with a friend.
Her words didn't leave Lynn rattled. 'Where on earth did this girl learn all this? These are strictly our family matters. How did an outsider possibly know them in such detail?' Lynn thought.
In actual fact, Aubree was only guessing and piecing things together based on what she already knew. Families like the Morgans would always want their children to be the best.
When it came to getting into high school, from junior high, Rithol High School was the top choice. That was obvious. Lynn's expression also confirmed what Aubree had said.
"He started to rebel, to slip out of your control. In your eyes, he was a flawed program. If there was an error, it had to be corrected. If it couldn't be corrected, it had to be erased.
"The child you're carrying now gave you an opportunity, a choice," Aubree said. Lynn held her belly protectively, her expression full of caution, hearing this.
"But you couldn't afford to raise both children, so you chose the second child, sacrificing Arthur. He spent years suffocating under that pressure; so what exactly did you do to him?
"Was it the constant pressure that drove Arthur to his breaking point?" Aubree pressed, studying every flicker of emotion on Lynn's face.
Before Lynn could even catch her breath, Aubree cut in, "No, Arthur's still a kid. All he wanted was to have a say in his own life. Deep down, he still loved his parents.
"But when you realized you couldn't force him to jump on his own, you took matters into your own hands."
Lynn was stunned and broke down. 'Everyone believed Arthur had jumped on his own accord...' she thought.
Aubree was shaken to her core. She thought this family had only pushed Arthur to his death; she never expected them to lay hands on him. 'Parents like this… How sad!' she thought.
Aubree's voice, without her realizing it, was laced with fury. "You pushed him off that building! Who did it? You? Or Mr. Morgan?
"Was it him? Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs. You guys are worse than animals!" Aubree gritted her teeth and spat out the words, her anger barely contained.
The secret Lynn had buried deep in her heart was suddenly laid bare with such certainty. She was completely stunned on the spot and trembled for a long moment, unable to utter a word.
Aubree cut her off before she could say a word. "Now, let me guess what exactly made you resort to such brutality," she said.
"Right when you were hesitating over keeping your second child, Ronald appeared. What did he offer you—a pile of cash?"
Aubree narrowed her eyes and said, "No, that's not enough. In your plan, your child has to be successful. So, an executive position at the Wilson Group would fit your ambitions perfectly, right?" Lynn's face turned deathly pale, utterly speechless.
"Ronald gave you a hefty sum and promised your younger son an executive position at Wilson Group. You happily gave up Arthur for that. And as for today's sudden transfer to another hospital, I doubt it was really an emergency. Most likely, it was deliberately arranged.
"Still hoping your husband will come back in time to save you? Don't count on it; he won't be here anytime soon. As for Arthur, he's safe at the Military Hospital."
As Aubree spoke her last word, Lynn completely broke down. "You're lying! These are all just your wild guesses!" she shrieked.
Aubree shrugged nonchalantly and said, "You should explain that to the reporters."
The door was pushed open violently. Arthur's grandparents were gagged and restrained to the side as the reporters, having overheard the entire conversation, rushed in eagerly.
The reporters' eyes lit up at the sight of Lynn's baby bump. Flash erupted, and amid that stark white light, Lynn felt as if she had fallen into an ice-cold abyss.
