Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Did I Offend You

These onlookers might not feel very distressed for Daisy, but they wouldn't miss the chance to criticize Cecilia.

Cecilia looked up, took a deep breath, and said to Anthony with a cold smile, "You'd better don't go back on your words. You're not a treasure to me. After all, you and this bitch are of the same kind."

A person said in a low voice, "Cecilia is so arrogant. She was the one who made a mistake, but she acted as if she hadn't done anything wrong."

"We can't do anything to it. She's Cecilia Wesley after all!"

"Daisy is so pathetic. She must have suffered a lot because of Cecilia."

"As far as I'm concerned, Anthony should cancel the engagement with Cecilia. I'm not seeking justice for that illegitimate daughter. It's just that no one can endure Cecilia's bad temper."

"I agree."

...

Cecilia clenched her teeth when hearing their criticisms. She turned around and wanted to leave. However, Daisy didn't want to let go of her. She grabbed Cecilia's sleeve with her bloody hand and said, "Sis, I'm sorry. I won't stay with Anthony anymore. I won't talk to him anymore. Please don't get mad at Anthony."

Cecilia directly shoved her away.

Daisy exclaimed and fell backward. Luckily, Anthony supported her on time so that she wasn't injured again. Anthony's guilt and helplessness were gone in an instant. He shouted, "Cecilia Wesley!"

Cecilia turned around, stared at Daisy with a sneer, and said, "You'd better pray that Anthony will stay by your side forever. Otherwise, I have many means..."

A drop of tear escaped Daisy's eye as she said, "Sis... I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please don't..."

Everyone could tell that Cecilia must have done something to her.

Anthony looked at Cecilia furiously.

Cecilia suddenly felt very tired. For the first time in her life, her attractive face had an expression called self-mockery.

She wanted to ignore Daisy and Anthony, as well as those rumors. Pressing her lips, she prepared to leave. However, her hand was grasped again.

She turned around impatiently, "Daisy Wesley, enough is enough!"

However, the next moment, she found that the one who grasped her hand was not Daisy, but Charlotte.

"What are you doing?" Cecilia asked with a frown. She suddenly thought of something and sneered, "Are you here to laugh at me?"

Charlotte shook her head as she replied, "I'm not interested in laughing at you. Wait for me here. I will show you something."

Cecilia was rendered speechless, thinking there must be something wrong with this illegitimate daughter's mind.

Charlotte rummage through her pocket and took out a pack of tissues that exuded the faint fragrance of herbal medicine. She drew out a tissue and handed it to Cecilia, saying, "Wipe your face with this tissue. It will help ease your pain."

Cecilia looked at the tawny tissue in her hand in doubt, feeling angry yet amused. She questioned, "Are you joking with me? Isn't this an ordinary tissue?"

Charlotte directly pressed the tissue on Cecilia's cheek without saying anything.

Cecilia hissed, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Ouch! It hurts! Wait..."

Charlotte withdrew her hand and said, "It won't hurt."

Cecilia replied, "Seems like it really doesn't hurt."

Charlotte handed her the tissue and said, "Press it on your injury by yourself."

Staring at Charlotte, Anthony asked, "What did you say?"

Charlotte replied patiently in a soft voice, "It's a doctor's advice."

Anthony was rendered speechless. After a while, he said, "What did you mean by saying that's not Daisy's blood."

"Oh, you're asking about this." Charlotte put the sprayer back into her pocket and pondered for a while before replying, "The injuries are very minor, so the possibility of bleeding is very small. That's chicken blood."

Daisy's face turned very gloomy. She forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about? I'm in poor health and even a minor injury would cause me to bleed a lot."

"Do you mean you have coagulopathy?" Charlotte tilted her head and continued, "It's true that even a minor injury would cause people with coagulopathy to bleed a lot."

Daisy nodded hurriedly and agreed, "Yep. That's true."

Charlotte chuckled and continued, "But if you have coagulopathy, your white blood cells won't be able to coagulate the blood around your wound. Therefore, you should be bleeding a lot now."

Daisy's expression froze on her face.

Charlotte continued, "It's very simple if you want to know if it's human blood or chicken blood. You just need to take the samples to the hospital for a test. Their structures are very different. From chicken blood, we can extract superoxide dismutase, SOD for short, which doesn't exist in human blood. Well..." Charlotte pondered for a while and realized that it might be difficult for others to understand this as it was not common sense. Therefore, she reorganized her words and continued, "Perceptually speaking, the concentration of sugar in human blood is relatively high, so human blood is relatively thick while chicken blood is relatively washy."

The onlookers subconsciously looked toward the pond of blood on the ground, only to find that it was only thicker than water. As a matter of fact, they couldn't use the word "thick" to describe it.

Daisy clenched her teeth and asked, "Miss, did I offend you?"

Charlotte replied in confusion, "Nope."

"Then why did you slander me?" Daisy asked tearfully.
