Seeing Jay's action, Zoe got up from bed. Even if she was still sleepy and exhausted, she did not hesitate at all, as she wanted to go with Jay.When Jay noticed her action, he said, "You can rest at home…" "I want to go with you." Zoe sounded firm."You don't have to worry about the Levines’ affairs," Jay uttered seriously. "Don't worry. I'll come back even if it's a serious incident.""I won't be worried that you'll be threatened by Nancy, let alone worried that you'll abandon me. After all, you've loved me for so many years. You can't bear to part with me," Zoe explained smugly. "It's just that I'm your wife. I’m obligated to share your troubles." However, Jay was still slightly hesitant.He was reluctant to see Zoe suffer any grievances in front of the Levines."We're a married couple. Your affairs are my concerns too. Although the Levines hold a deep grudge against me, they're your family. So, I'm willing to accept them for you." Jay stared at Zoe in disbelief. If
The moment Cora saw Jay, she broke down.She stood up from her chair and yelled, "Jay, how could you be so cruel?! Are you happy to see my mom in the emergency room?!"Zoe furrowed her brows.She was not very pleased with Cora's attitude, but she forced herself to remain silent given that Nancy was fighting for her life in the emergency room.Yet Jay, to her surprise, yelled back, "The fact that your mom is in the emergency room has completely nothing to do with me! If it weren't because your mom was maliciously attacking Zoe, everything that happened today wouldn't have happened!""I…" Cora wanted to refute Jay, but had no words to say. She only spoke up after a few moments, "But you know that my mom wouldn't be able to bear the shock!""And so Zoe deserves to be bullied by you because she's mentally stronger?! Cora, you of all people should know clearly that everything that's happening to you right now is just because we chose 'self-defense'!""But…" Cora could not outtalk Jay
There was no need for pleasantries with her.She turned around and walked to Zoe.Zoe felt emotional upon seeing Cordy, but she had to keep her emotions to herself while in the hospital where doctors were still trying to save Nancy.Cordy led Richard and sat next to Zoe while Patrick sat next to Jay, and they greeted each other. Meanwhile, Cora sat on the row of chairs opposite them, feeling rather slighted. She was clearly the one who should be comforted, yet everyone kept their distance from her.She felt very upset inside.She looked at Zoe and Cordy chatting in hushed tones with each other, the two of them clearly looking very close to each other.Over the years, although John had passed away, the Levines had always seen Cordy as John's wife. What's more, she was also Richard's biological mother and that made them see her as family all the more.Yet, at this moment, she chose to stand on Jay and Zoe's side.Cordy clearly knew about the grudge between her mom and Zoe!W
Nancy looked on in disbelief at Jay and Zoe leaving heartlessly. There was no hint of hesitation whatsoever. "Jay Parker!" Nancy yelled at him with all her might. Jay pretended not to hear her and left unperturbed with Zoe. "Are you really trying to force me to my death?" Nancy questioned him in a loud voice. Jay refused to respond to her. Fights never resulted in any outcomes. Real actions were what counted. Unable to hold it in any longer, Cora charged toward Jay and Zoe in an attempt to stop them from leaving, but before she could do so, Cordy stood right in front of Cora, blocking her way. Cora stared at Cordy. "If you don't want things to spiral out of control, I suggest you don't go to them," Cordy said coldly. Cora bit her lips, clearly unwilling to concede defeat. Nancy said through gritted teeth, "Don't chase after them. I don't need their pity!" Cora heard Nancy's words and turned back to her. "How are you feeling, Mom?" "I'm fine." "Let's send t
Nancy brought her emotions under control and said calmly, "As long as you're good to Dicky." "I read the news online and saw that you and Jay…" Cordy decided to go ahead and ask. Cordy had rushed back today because she indeed cared for Nancy's life and death. Whatever it was, Nancy remained Richard's grandaunt and she treated Richard very well. On the other hand, Cordy also wanted to take the chance to talk to Nancy about Jay and Zoe. "Don't talk about him. It only makes me angry." Nancy's face turned dark with displeasure. "I did not expect to have raised such an ingrate after putting in so many years of hard work. He has truly forgotten how well I treated him back then!" "Impossible. You're being extreme about it," Cordy said frankly. Nancy stared at Cordy. She knew that Cordy was friends with Zoe and Jay, but she felt that Cordy should have her priorities in order. "Are you standing on Jay's side in this matter?!" Nancy's face fell. "I'm not taking anybody's side. I
"Dicky, do you want to stay here and spend more time with Grandaunt or go back with Mommy?" Cordy respected Richard's decision. Richard looked at Nancy and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Grandaunt, take good care of yourself. I'll head back with Mommy." The expectant look in Nancy's eyes gave way to cold ruthlessness. She was unable to let go of her pride in front of outsiders, and the pride that was deeply rooted in her did not allow her to give in to anyone. Richard walked toward Cordy. Before Cordy left, she stopped for a moment, and Nancy's eyes glinted at that moment. Cordy said frankly, "Threatening others with your own life is rather despicable." With that, she left without waiting for Nancy's reply. Nancy's face was a mix of anger and awkwardness at being called out. She had been seen through by another and it was a source of pain for her. Yes, she did it on purpose.She deliberately wanted Jay to regret his decision. She could not stand being i
Cordy sent Richard back. Richard saw Cordy leave in the car with a heavy heart, not really knowing how to articulate the feelings inside him. He could sense that things were going well between his mommy and Patrick. Mommy treated Patrick very well and vice versa. In fact, Patrick treated him very well. Everything seemed like it was falling into place. Richard sighed. He should not have held out any hope. It was Daddy who gave up on Mommy, and he should not find it a pity on Daddy's behalf. In the car, Cordy gave Zoe a call. "Cordy, did you leave the hospital so soon?" Of course, Zoe knew that Cordy could not possibly call her in front of Nancy. "Yeah. I just wanted to bring Dicky to visit her." "Oh. Where are you right now?" "I'm heading to the office. Let's have dinner tonight." "Sure. Will your boyfriend be joining us?" "Yes, he will." "I got a good look just now. He's quite handsome," Zoe teased. "He's pretty all right," Cordy said shyly. "Pretty al
Jay was stunned for a moment as his ears turned red. Yelena saw what her mommy did and her smiley face immediately turned sour. She said unhappily, "Mommy, you played cheat! How could you kiss Daddy while we're not paying attention!" "Nonsense." Zoe said in all seriousness, "Your daddy is my husband. I can kiss him anytime I want." "I don't want that," Yelena grumbled. "Daddy is my daddy. He's mine." "You're wrong." Zoe informed Yelena very seriously, "You daddy is forever mine. I'm just loaning him to you for the time being and allowing him to play with you. Ultimately, he belongs to me." "Boo hoo hoo! Daddy is mine!" Yelena was driven to tears by Zoe's words. "You must learn to accept reality. You can find your own husband in the future," Zoe said ruthlessly. Jay was rendered speechless. Zoe was being calculative with a three-year-old. "Yelena, don't cry. I'll always be your daddy," Jay comforted her. "Hmph." Yelena immediately puffed her chest up and said, "Daddy
