He Watched Me Shine Without Him novel Chapter 109

Grace's face immediately contorted with disdain. "It's just a few thousand dollars. Can't you borrow that much?"

Ethan explained, "Madam Grace, I haven't been working here long. My colleagues don't know me well."

Grace retorted, "Even so, not a single person would lend you money?"

Ethan hung his head, feeling utterly ashamed.

Grace's disdain turned into a personal attack. "Ethan, what's the use of Vivian marrying you? You can't be there for her, and you can't earn money for her. What good are you, a good-for-nothing, to Vivian?"

Grace's voice was loud, and the doctors passing by couldn't help but look at Ethan with sympathy.

Ethan's face felt as if he had been slapped, burning with humiliation.

Before long, the sound of a baby crying came from the delivery room, and the door opened quickly.

A physician walked out holding a baby. "Family of the mother," he called out.

Ethan and Grace immediately approached. The physician handed the baby to Ethan, saying, "A daughter, seven pounds."

When Ethan heard the word "daughter," his mind seemed to explode. He stood there, stunned and dazed.

He didn't even react when Vivian was wheeled out.

Grace rushed to her daughter, gripping Vivian's hand with excitement and concern. "Vivian, how are you feeling?"

Vivian was weak and exhausted, but her eyes were still searching for Ethan.

"Mom, where's Ethan?"

Grace scolded Ethan loudly, "Ethan, what are you standing there for? Your wife is out. Come and see her."

Ethan turned around, and his expression towards Vivian was very indifferent. Although Vivian was in a dazed state, Ethan's cold, emotionless gaze sent shivers down her spine.

"Ethan, you... don't like girls?"

Before Ethan could speak, Grace interjected forcefully, "He better like her. My daughter went through so much to give birth to his daughter. He's not allowed to dislike her."

Ethan forced a smile, "I like girls too."

But inside, he felt bitter.

My mother had insisted that Vivian craved sour foods and had a pointed, tight belly, which meant she was definitely carrying a boy. That's why I had decided to cut ties with Rose. How can it be a girl?
