Trash Husband, I'm the Top novel Chapter 148

Louis’s voice was gentle. “Thank you for your trouble.”

Aurora felt nothing but embarrassment. Only after she left the hospital room did she let out a heavy sigh.

How did things end up like this?

But there was no time to dwell on regrets. She made her way to the Quinns’ house.

She could have asked her grandmother to help, but Grandma Grace was getting on in years. Aurora didn’t want to put her through any more stress.

After all, Payne’s illness—no one knew if he would recover.

If he didn’t, Grandma Grace would be devastated all over again.

The Quinn residence.

Jordan and Mrs. Quinn were both home. When they heard Aurora’s story, their shock was palpable.

Jordan’s reaction was immediate—he slammed his glass down, shattering it, and berated Aurora for her lack of shame.

“An unwed mother, at twenty years old, no less,” he spat.

Mrs. Quinn was merciless. “You’re a disgrace to the family. I thought that being raised by your grandmother, you’d have learned something about dignity and self-respect. But look at you…”

“No wonder Daniel suddenly agreed to marry into the Cooper family. Now it all makes sense—you’ve brought shame on us with your scandal.”

“How utterly humiliating.”

Aurora listened quietly, enduring their accusations for Payne’s sake.

At last, she spoke. “Say what you want about me, I’ll take it. But Payne is your grandson. He’s sick. I’m asking for your help.”

“Grandson? We don’t acknowledge him,” Jordan sneered with thinly veiled disgust.

He called for the housekeeper to throw Aurora out.

Gritting her teeth, Aurora tried one last plea. “Grandma—”

“Don’t you dare tell your grandmother!” Mrs. Quinn snapped, as if reading her mind.

Aurora fell silent. Mrs. Quinn really did know her too well. In truth, Aurora would never drag Grandma Grace into this mess.

She was forced outside.

No amount of pleading or humility made any difference.

Mr. and Mrs. Quinn refused to see her.

Just as she was about to leave, the housekeeper came hurrying out with a message.
