"Is it Mr. Park's child?"Wendy was still reeling from the shock and hadn't quite caught what Suzy was saying.Fortunately, Jeffrey was there too; he quickly closed the door and covered his cousin's mouth. "You’re too loud. Didn’t Suzy ask you to keep this a secret?""But, but..."Wendy couldn't understand why such a matter needed to be kept secret! With a child, she could leverage the Park family. How could they dare to harm her? Shouldn't this child be used as Suzy's protection?"They dare to harm a human life. Do you think they would care about an embryo in my belly?"...Jeffrey nodded; he was somewhat frightened too.If those people had directly targeted Suzy, she wouldn't have had the chance to be lying here now.The power of the Park family was indeed unmatched! Not just in Northorn City, but across the country, there were few who could stand against them. The entire province's revenues and more were closely linked to the Park Group; opposing them was like a fly trying to stop a
In the VIP room of Grace's ward, doctors occasionally came in to check on her, each leaving with a sigh.Liam, who had been standing by the entire time, was visibly anxious.If it weren't for his reluctance to worsen his parents' impression of Suzy, he would have left already!After the attending physician entered and left for the third time, Liam finally lost his patience. "Has Suzy not responded to any messages?""If she had, I would have told you," William replied, pulling out his phone to show him, confirming his statement.Suddenly, Liam stood up and walked towards the door of the ward."What are you doing?" William immediately asked, moving to intercept him."Going for a smoke.""I'll join you."Liam frowned at his father. "Can we leave my mom alone like this?""There's a nurse here. Your mom won't wake up anytime soon, I'll step out with you for some air.""Then lend me your phone." Before William could get angry, Liam spoke first, "I need to give Alec some instructions. It's be
“Suzy and Jeffrey are not in a relationship.”"Ha!" William scoffed. "That's only because you're now an option! Without you, Jeffrey is considered a good catch for someone like Suzy!"Upon hearing this, Liam's brows furrowed deeply."You've even investigated Jeffrey.""I'm worried you might be deceived! You've always been responsible about who you had feelings for and we never needed to worry about you. Back in college, while other wealthy kids were dating and partying, you never got fixated on anyone. Yet, out of the blue, Suzy has captivated you entirely. How can your mom and I not be concerned?""I only want what I desire." The only person he ever wanted from the start until today had only been Suzy.Therefore, Liam's affections had never lingered on any other woman, even before he met Suzy again, he had never developed feelings for anyone else.He loved Suzy exclusively."You'll regret it one day!" William snorted coldly and turned to walk away.Suddenly, Alec's figure appeared at
After disconnecting the call, William didn't send anyone else to stop Liam.He thought that if his wife had witnessed their son's expression at that moment, she might have also considered backing out.Just that look alone made William certain that Liam would indeed sever ties with him because of Suzy....After leaving the hospital, Liam got straight into the car.Even without saying anything, Alec knew where to drive Liam to.On the way, Liam kept calling Suzy, but she never picked up the phone."Did you contact Suzy today?""No, she mentioned she was going for a health check-up. I thought since she finally took a day off, it wouldn't be right to bother her about work," Alec paused before continuing, "After you instructed me, I tried reaching out, but still no answer."Liam's brows furrowed deeply as he stared intently at the phone screen.Soon, the car reached Easter Bay, and sure enough, upon opening the door, the place was deserted!Suzy was not at home.Seeing the darkness gradual
"It's nothing, I'm just tired." Suzy dodged his hand as he reached for her wrist. "Let's talk about it tomorrow."Alec, caught between the two, looked lost and unsure of what to say.Liam's dark eyes glanced at him as he said in a deep voice, "You should go back, Alec.""Alright."After he left, Suzy had already proceeded into the bedroom by herself.Liam stood at the entrance for a while before slowly walking over and gently pushing open the door.Suzy was already lying down on the bed with her clothes on and eyes closed—it was unclear if she was really asleep.Pausing for a moment, Liam was about to leave and have someone investigate what exactly had happened to Suzy at the hospital when suddenly, Suzy called out to him!"Liam, I’m exhausted.""...Then rest, I won't disturb you, I'll sleep in the guest room tonight."Suzy sat up in bed, her gaze serious as she looked at him, her lips moved a few times, but she couldn't quite say what she wanted.Liam walked back and sighed deeply. "O
Suzy looked utterly exhausted, the kind that suggested she couldn't bear to utter another word to him, not an act by any means.In fact, she really wasn't in the mood to talk.Her mother's funeral was set for three days later. With hardly any relatives or friends around, she didn't want Liam to know, so she planned to keep everything simple.After she spoke, the room fell into dead silence again.With a heavy heart, she looked up at Liam, this time without dodging his gaze, her eyes void of emotion. "Can you leave now?""Alright, I'll go. We'll talk more tomorrow.""What's there to talk about? Haven't I made myself clear, Liam? I used to believe that being with you would pave the way for success, but now I've come to see how difficult your family can be. I can't tolerate their condescending behavior anymore; I don't want to be with you. Do you get it?"Suzy knew if she merely said she was tired and wanted to break up, he wouldn't believe her, so she had to mix truth with lies."I'll fi
It was probably due to pregnancy that Suzy eventually drifted off without knowing when she fell asleep...When she opened her eyes again, it was almost noon!Quickly checking her phone, she found only one missed call from Wendy, with nothing else.Suzy knew that Jeffrey must have told Wendy not to call anymore, expecting Suzy to respond once she woke up, not wanting to disturb her rest.Given Wendy's personality, she wouldn't have thought of such things.Suzy didn't immediately reply to her, instead heading to the bathroom first to freshen up.Splashing her face with icy cold water, she tried to wake herself up a bit! After all, fooling Liam wasn't going to be easy, and who knew how many acts this charade would require before it could end?Looking at her tired and bruised face in the mirror, Suzy suddenly had the urge to join her mother!After all, in this world, she no longer had any family of her own, nor did she need to earn money desperately to pay medical bills...No one would be
“What did Suzy tell you?”Jeffrey was still unclear about the situation, so naturally, he couldn't speak rashly.But Liam's demeanor shocked him!It was evident that Suzy held a significant place in his heart because the dejection Liam displayed was not an act."She said she was tired of being with me."After Liam finished speaking, he instinctively reached for a cigarette. However, upon opening the pack, he realized he had already smoked the remaining half-pack while waiting for Jeffrey.Jeffrey took a deep breath and pretended to be composed. "So, coming to me is useless. The one who feels tired is her."Liam lifted his dark eyes to meet his gaze.Though weary, his inherent aura of authority was impossible to ignore. Standing opposite Jeffrey in silence, his noble and aloof demeanor completely overwhelmed Jeffrey.A gentle breeze lightly fluttered Liam's hair.After a long silence, he finally said, "I want you to go abroad, to leave here, to make sure she has no other option. Jeffrey
