Chapter 198

Author: Hauling Treasures
The hospital room was nothing short of luxurious. Evelyn had ensured that an entire floor of the facility was cleared a month prior, with no other patients allowed in. Security was tight, with guards stationed at every access point.

Inside, the room was equipped with a state-of-the-art climate control system, maintaining a perfect temperature. After being cleaned up post-delivery, Emily sat propped against the headboard, looking fresh and serene. Her gaze softened as she admired her two newborns.

Her entire demeanor radiated maternal warmth. For the first time, she felt profoundly grateful that her previous attempts to terminate the pregnancy had failed, leaving her with these two precious lives.

Though the babies' faces were red and scrunched, Emily couldn’t help but think they were the most beautiful sight she had ever seen.

When she reunited with Evelyn, she had confessed her pregnancy, unsure if Evelyn would disapprove. To her relief, Evelyn fully supported her choices

    They chose the name Jace Walker, representing a poised and graceful presence, radiating quiet strength and dignity without the need for overt displays of power.For the younger twin, they chose Alec Walker, symbolizing unwavering loyalty and determination, embodying sincerity and steadfastness in every endeavor.*In RC Corporation’s conference room, Justin and Zac sat across from each other, each flanked by their respective teams. Together, they were finalizing the details of a plan to establish a groundbreaking international medical collaboration. Both CEOs and heirs to their respective empires, Justin and Zac had taken the lead in developing a strategy for expanding into Merika State’s medical, biotech, and pharmaceutical sectors. The potential for growth in areas like medical chips was immense, a field historically dominated by foreign capital. With White Medical Corporation’s recent breakthrough in core technologies, the opportunity to claim a share of the market was too s

    Justin and Zac entered the grand York family banquet hall together, walking in step. Their first stop was to greet Mr. York Sr. “Mr. York Sr.,” Justin greeted with a nod. Mr. York Sr. beamed. “Ah, Justin, Zac, you’re here.” He turned to Heidi with a proud grin. “Your son is truly remarkable. So young, yet already leading the corporation to such heights. His achievements leave others in his generation far behind. Unlike my daughter, who’s spent years studying overseas and still hasn’t proven herself ready to take over.” “Dad, why do you have to bring me up when you’re praising someone else?” Yvonne pouted playfully, a light blush dusting her impeccably made-up cheeks as she clung to her father’s sleeve. Mr. York Sr. knew his daughter’s intentions all too well. Business is about competition, after all. As long as Justin remained unmarried, his daughter still had a chance. Standing nearby, Heidi chuckled alongside Mrs. York Sr. “Yvonne is exceptional too. She’s capable an

    “Didn't you say Justin wouldn't be here?” Emma asked, her voice laced with irritation.“If I’d known he’d show up, I wouldn’t have come with you,” she thought to herself.Jacob clicked his tongue nonchalantly, his tone dismissive. “The secretary said he wouldn’t come. How was I supposed to know he’d change his mind?” *Justin, bored and feeling an emptiness grow inside him, had finished all the necessary pleasantries at the York family’s banquet. He was preparing to leave with Zac, brushing off Yvonne's attempts to prolong his stay. Just as he turned to leave, Emma suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path. “Justin,” she said softly, her voice trembling with a hint of desperation, “Can I talk to you alone for a moment?” Zac raised an eyebrow, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh? And what could you possibly need to say that I can’t hear?” Emma fidgeted, wringing her hands nervously. “I just… I need to explain tonight.” Zac scoffed internally. “What’s ther

    How could this possibly be happening?Each breath felt like a blade, cutting through his throat. The pain started deep in his heart and spread through every inch of his body. He hunched over in the back seat, one hand clutching his chest, as if trying to keep himself from falling apart.*Five years later, Justin exuded an air of maturity and magnetism that only deepened with time. In the elite social circles, many young women were drawn to him, vying for his attention, only to be rejected one by one. Inside RC Corporation, rumors swirled that Justin wasn’t single. Some whispered he had secretly married Emma years ago. Emma, meanwhile, had risen from her role in marketing to director. Her style had become increasingly polished, even eerily resembling Emily’s. She had gone so far as to tweak her features through subtle cosmetic adjustments based on Emily’s photos. At first, Justin would freeze when he saw her, a fleeting hope stirring in his chest that Emily had returned. Bu

    “Justin…” Emma looked to him for help, her voice soft and pleading after Zac’s harsh words. But Justin, seemingly unfazed by her distress, calmly replied, “You shouldn’t be here alone. I’ll arrange for someone to take you home.”His tone left no room for argument. Within minutes, a pair of black-clad bodyguards escorted Emma to a waiting car. Seated in the back seat, Emma’s gaze burned with resentment as she looked out toward the cemetery grounds. “Emily, even in death, you’re still clinging to Justin!” she silently remarked. The convoy drove off, heading back toward the city. *Justin’s car bypassed the city entirely, heading straight for Villa One. He hadn’t moved out, keeping the place exactly as it had been. Every year, on this day, he cleared his schedule, pushing aside all work commitments. His routine was always the same: visit Emily’s grave in the morning, then return to his home, locking himself in the bedroom for hours until late at night. When he opened th

    But those dreams were painfully rare. Did she hate him? Was that why she refused to appear in his dreams?*In Merika State, today was Chase and Alex’s fifth birthday party. The twins had just changed into matching suits tailored for kids, their soft hair styled into neat, dashing looks by a professional. With identical faces and matching outfits, it was nearly impossible for anyone unfamiliar with them to tell who was the older brother and who was the younger. Alex, bright and cheerful, held up a colorful bow tie with a superhero design. Grinning ear to ear, he ran up to Chase. "Look, Chase! This one’s awesome—let’s wear these!" he said, holding it up to his brother’s collar. Chase, his small face stoic and his gaze oddly mature for his age, calmly took the bow tie from Alex’s hands. His tone was firm as he stopped Alex from adjusting his collar. "No. It has to be black." "Pfft." Alex puffed out his cheeks in protest. "What’s wrong with this one? It even has Ultraman on

    “Don’t worry, Mommy, I’m totally ready!” Alex declared confidently, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. He wasn’t just ready for the party. He had a secret mission: finding Mommy a boyfriend. On TV, every heroine had a boyfriend, and sometimes, there were even several men competing for her affection. But his Mommy? Not a single boyfriend in sight. It was heartbreaking, and Alex, always the little worrier, was determined to fix that. Haley and Helen each held one of the twins’ hands as they led the boys to join the gathering. Upstairs, the photographer snapped a beautiful family portrait before they all headed down to the party. Some guests had already arrived and were mingling downstairs, glasses clinking as they toasted. Evelyn, joined by Wilfred, Haley, and the twins, gave a heartfelt speech in the center of the hall, elevating the party’s atmosphere. Together, the group helped the boys cut their cake, officially kicking off the festivities. After the ceremony, Alex ca

    Haley reached out to grab the gift, intending to ask the staff to toss it later. With so many boxes, losing track of one or two seemed inevitable. Evelyn quickly stopped her. “It’s just a gift, Haley. If Chase likes it, let him open it and see.” “You can’t live life fearing every little thing,” she added pointedly, her words meant more for her eldest daughter than anyone else. Haley froze for a moment, taking in her mother’s words. She was right—it was just a gift. They all lived on the same planet, and no one could avoid crossing paths forever. It wasn’t worth living in constant fear. Slowly, Haley withdrew her hand. Chase glanced at his grandmother, then at his mom, before lowering his gaze to the box and carefully unwrapping it. Inside were two kids’ smartwatches. RC Corporation’s CEO, Justin Yates, rarely concerned himself with the details of gifts sent to business partners. This one had been personally chosen by Sam. Chase’s face lit up. He loved gadgets, and whi

    Chase remembered Anya mentioning that Uncle Justin was single, unmarried, with no girlfriend or wife. This made him suspicious. Based on his aunt’s reaction that day, it seemed like she might know something. Could Mommy possibly know Uncle Justin? From outside the room came Richard’s loud call, “Chase, log in! Come play a game with me!” Chase quickly closed the browser, shut his laptop, and went to find Richard. If Aunt Alex knew Justin, then Uncle Richard might know him too. Should he casually bring it up with Uncle Richard? A second later, he shook his head. Judging by his aunt’s animated reaction, it was probably best not to ask. He likely wouldn’t get much out of it anyway. His uncle and aunt were equally sharp-tongued. “Chase, are you coming or what? Hurry up!” Richard yelled again from the living room, too lazy to get up and fetch him. “I’m coming!” Chase headed downstairs, where Richard was lounging on the couch, legs crossed, laptop propped on his kne

    This was the first time Justin had ever lost his temper with Emma. After signing the document, he immediately ordered her out of his office. Outside in the hallway, Steven hurried over with a sycophantic smile, bowing slightly as he asked, “Miss Xander, what did Mr. Yates say? Do you know where he was yesterday?” Steven’s question was like pouring fuel on the fire. Emma, already brimming with frustration, snapped, “Get lost!” before stomping off in her high heels, leaving the top floor in a huff. “Whoever’s behind this, I’ll find you and expose you, no matter who you are!” she silently vowed.*Back in her office, Emma pushed open the door, only to find Jacob sitting casually in her chair, his legs crossed and his polished leather shoes lightly tapping the air. Startled, she quickly shut the door. “What are you doing here? Get out!” she said, frowning, her expression full of disdain. Jacob didn’t move. Instead, he spun the chair leisurely, exuding the air of an idle

    The focus was on Haley. Even though Justin had business dealings with him, when it came to Haley’s romantic world, Justin was no different from an object. If his sister wanted something, she could have it, and if she grew tired of it, she could toss it aside like garbage without hesitation. Haley shook her head firmly. “No.” She had a strong sense of emotional boundaries and would never choose someone who disrespected her. *The next morning, Justin arrived at work wearing the new shirt Haley had bought him. Just as he reached his office door, Emma came hurrying after him, heels clicking loudly against the floor. “Justin, where were you yesterday? I couldn’t find you all day,” Emma said sweetly, clutching a folder in her hands. Since yesterday morning, Justin had been secretly following Haley’s car. He had trailed her to the art exhibit and waited until she left. Haley never realized she was being followed. He pushed open the office door, and Emma followed him insi

    Haley’s car was parked a short distance from the door. She walked over and said, “I don’t need you to take me.” “It’s dark, and the roads aren’t safe. Let me drive you,” Justin insisted, his tone firm. “The most unsafe factor here is you,” Haley shot back as she opened the car door. Fearing he might follow her, she turned to add, “Enough with this endless nonsense! Didn’t you say all your cars were in for maintenance? How are you planning to drive me—by sitting in my car and pretending to take me? Then when we get there, you’ll claim you don’t have a way back?“Justin, stop with these childish games!” She was genuinely afraid he would pull a stunt like that. Without waiting for a response, she got into her car as though she were being chased by a ghost, slamming the door shut and speeding off. Justin didn’t have a chance to stop her. Watching her car disappear, he pulled out his phone from his suit pocket and called William. “Bring the car around to pick me up immediate

    “I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I have some things to take care of.” “Got it,” Helen replied coolly. Earlier at lunch, Haley had also sent her a message, letting her know not to wait. She ended the call. “Is Wilfred… good to you?” Justin’s voice came from behind her, filled with pain. Was she checking in with Wilfred? Did she love him now? Haley turned, her cold gaze locking onto Justin. “Everyone treats me well—except you.” Justin’s chest tightened, the words cutting deep. His face turned pale, and his head dropped as he murmured an apology, his voice timid and full of regret. “I’m sorry. It was my fault. I’ll change. Can you…” forgive me? “Don’t bother changing,” Haley interrupted sharply. “Just stop bothering me.” She hadn’t come here to listen to his meaningless apologies. It wasn’t until Mrs. Zimmer returned that Haley finally escaped into the kitchen, offering to help. Though she wasn’t much help at all, it gave her a moment of peace. *At d

    “You’re right—look at me, getting all excited and just standing here hugging you at the door,” Mrs. Zimmer said, wiping her tears and pulling Haley inside with a cheerful laugh. “Getting old really messes with your memory!” “Come, sit down! Hannah, get the big cherries from the fridge and wash them. Miss Yates loves those. Mr. Yates just had them delivered yesterday, and now here you are!” Mrs. Zimmer bustled around, already busy as they entered the house. Haley gently grabbed her hand. “Mrs. Zimmer, don’t go to so much trouble. I just came to see you for a bit. I’ll be heading back soon.” “So soon?” Mrs. Zimmer’s face fell with disappointment. “Can’t you stay a little longer? It’s already afternoon—why not wait until after dinner? I remember you loved my sea urchin ravioli. Stay, and I’ll make them for dinner before you go, okay?” Faced with Mrs. Zimmer’s heartfelt plea, Haley found herself unable to refuse outright. She struggled internally before finally saying, “I have

    “I’m not hungry!” Haley looked at him as if he were trash—something not even worth a second glance. She turned away and strode toward her car. “Haley, I’m sorry. Don’t be mad,” Justin apologized humbly, though he had no idea what he had said wrong to upset her. But if someone was at fault, it had to be him. “If you don’t want me to drive, I won’t. If you don’t want to eat Japanese food, we can change plans. Just tell me—what do you like now? I want to know more about your preferences.” He felt like a fool. Of course, she had changed over the past five years. Why was he still treating her as if she were the same person from back then? He hadn’t been part of her life for those blank years, missing her growth and transformation. Now, he wanted to make up for it—no matter the cost. “Let go!“We’re even now, Justin. Don’t bother me again!” Haley drew a clear boundary. He refused to let go. “My car’s with William for maintenance, and I left my phone at the office. I

    “This one has a business-style design and it’s sophisticated and professional,” the sales associate explained enthusiastically. “And this one is more casual, giving off a fresh and energetic vibe.”“We’ll take both. Wrap them up now,” Haley said decisively. The sales associate beamed, thrilled at how quickly the transaction was moving. “No way,” Justin interrupted. “I haven’t tried them on yet. What if they don’t fit? I don’t want to trouble you by making you come back with me.” Haley suppressed her anger. So, he did know he was troubling her! If that was the case, then why wasn’t he choosing faster? Justin was deliberately dragging things out, trying to spend as much time with her as possible. He carried both shirts into the fitting room, putting one on before stepping out each time to ask her if it looked good. Haley gave him perfunctory responses. While he was in the fitting room, she went ahead and paid for both shirts, not wanting to give him the chance to claim

    Haley was rendered speechless. Her fingers froze mid-scroll. If she ordered a custom shirt for him now, it would take at least a week before he could wear it. Her pale fingers gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Justin was doing this on purpose! Haley put down her phone with a cold expression, fastened her seatbelt, and started the car, heading toward the nearest mall. Justin’s lips curled into a small, triumphant smile. The car moved quietly along the road. Haley focused on driving, her eyes locked on the road ahead, treating the man beside her as if he didn’t exist. Justin suddenly broke the silence. “Back then… you were pregnant. Is that child… still okay?” Haley slammed on the brakes at a red light, and the car came to an abrupt halt. Justin’s body lurched forward slightly. She turned her head, her icy gaze locking onto him, her voice even colder. “How do you know about that?” “The hospital called to reschedule your surgery, and I an
