Leaving the living room and returning to Ember Canen's hospital room, Chris Desmond stood outside for a long time without entering. He was afraid that she might get agitated like before.In reality, he didn't know how to comfort her. He feared that saying something might inadvertently hurt her even more.It was better to wait until she calmed down before talking.Mrs. Canen pushed the door to the hospital room open, and Chris Desmond, along with Fiona Forger, led Tiffany back from washing her face. Upon seeing them, Mr. Canen welcomed them, "Tiffany..."Unlike other days, Tiffany didn't rush into her grandfather's arms. She only opened her teary eyes, looking at Chris Desmond with red, swollen eyes, "Brother-in-law..."As that word slipped out, tears started falling again..."Tiffany, why are you crying?"Chris Desmond had always been fond of this cute and well-behaved little girl. Initially, it was because she was Ember's sister, and now, even after knowing the truth, he still couldn
Finally, she succeeded in making Chris hate her completely!He would surely never pay any attention to her again in his lifetime!Before doing this, hadn't she already prepared herself mentally?Why was her heart hurting so much now?She was the wrong person, so bad that even Chris hated her!Tears blurred her vision gradually until she couldn't see anything anymore!Her heart was in so much pain, so much pain!Had she done something wrong? Wrong?She couldn't think anymore; the agony was spreading through every cell, making her unable to stand steadily. The handbag in her hand fell to the ground, and she collapsed, burying her face between her knees, letting tears fall silently...She didn't dare to cry out loud, or more accurately, and she cried quietly. Her tears quickly formed a small puddle on the floor..."Hey, are you okay?""Hey, are you feeling well?"Passersby and nurses who saw her crying so miserably came over to ask.But none of the voices were the ones she wanted to hear
Mrs. Robinson walked in, and upon seeing Norman Desmond, she appeared slightly surprised. "Norman, why are you here?"Furthermore, he was embracing her daughter so intimately. This was..."Mom, he just happened to pass by and saw me entering the hospital, so he came to visit." Liliana Forger explained casually, then turned to him and spoke lowly, "You can go now." At this point, there was no need to argue anymore!He understood her words and removed his hands from her.The man who had followed Mrs. Robinson placed a bouquet on the bedside table and then left.Knowing that her daughter had a good relationship with the Desmond family, Mrs. Robinson didn't chase him away but instead looked at her daughter..."Liliana, what happened after all? Dr. Tagert said about the miscarriage, and who is that man?" As she spoke the latter part of the sentence, her teeth clenched.And the man who made her daughter pregnant still stood behind her, not uttering a word from beginning to end.Not that he
Mr. Canen was briefly stunned before he understood. His face turned serious, his voice almost grinding his teeth as he said, "In this lifetime, never let your father meet that guy. Otherwise, I will surely kill him."No father could forgive a man who had violated his daughter, no matter the reason."Dad..." Ember Canen looked at her father with surprise, wondering what he would do if he knew the truth."If... if that person is...""Alright, rest for a while," Mrs. Canen interrupted. Why keep mentioning that scum's name? It made her uncomfortable just hearing it.Besides, what if her daughter got upset again? Her emotional recovery had been fragile."Mom...""Your mother is right. Rest for now. That scoundrel will face punishment sooner or later." Mr. Canen worried about his daughter's state of mind as well.Ember Canen opened her mouth several times but didn't say anything further, quietly lying down. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't sleep. Her mind was filled with
So where did he go?She looked around and then headed toward the study on the first floor. The door wasn't locked. She stood at the doorway and could see his figure standing there. His face was turned towards the window, and he held a serious conversation on the phone, "Get to the point!" After a while, Chris Desmond seemed frustrated and rubbed his forehead."In such a short time, you told me to review everything from seven years ago. I couldn't do it. But I found out that the person who leaked the pictures of her getting a pregnancy check was a girl named Kitty.""Kisty?" Chris Desmond repeated the name, trying to figure out the connection between her and Ember.But why would Kisty have those pictures? Moreover, why would she give them to Liliana Forger?"If correctly, Kisty is now the widow of the former CEO of the Phoenix Feather Group, Jack. I'm sure you're not unfamiliar with that."Investigate her; find out how she got those pictures. Three days!" He growled."Two weeks.""Thre
It's really... Ember Canen, what are you afraid of? He won't hurt you!She kept reassuring herself not to be afraid, not to be scared. This time, she couldn't let things go like the last time. The final step was coming, and she mustn't push him away.Ten minutes later, Chris Desmond emerged from the bathroom. His upper body was bare, with only a bath towel wrapped around his waist. A few droplets of water still clung to his robust and muscular physique. As he saw the petite, blushing face of the girl sitting by the edge of the bed, his deep black pupils seemed to shine.His adorable wife was waiting for him; what else could be more anticipated than this?His heated gaze made Ember Canen's face even hotter as if she was being set ablaze."Let me dry my hair before I get into bed." She bit her lip and gave the order before he climbed onto the bed. "Sure, let me help." He sat on the edge of the bed and handed her the hairdryer from earlier, yet to be turned off.She obediently knelt on t
Speaking a few words, she left them to discuss while she went to the small villa to find Fiona.Fiona Forger had received the news and was already waiting in the flower garden. Upon hearing the maid reporting that Ember had arrived, she hastily adjusted her dress and stood up.The maid noticed her actions and couldn't help but worry. If the young master were to see her like this, he would surely scold her again. Of course, the ones doing the scolding were not the wives but them. Fortunately, the young master had already arrived at the company this morning."Ember, come over here and have some tea." As soon as she saw her, Fiona Forger quickly pulled her over to sit under the shade of an umbrella."Slow down, Sister." Ember Canen looked at her slightly protruding belly, her expression somewhat worried."It's fine; the little princess in my house is very healthy." Mrs. Desmond was not at all concerned, but her words were valid. The little one had already endured a calamity with them, de
When Chris Desmond arrived at his older brother's small villa, even before reaching the door, he could hear the sounds of laughter and joy. Tiffany's laughter, accompanied by Ember's gentle voice, "Slow down, be careful not to fall!" He couldn't help but smile; it seemed like they were having a great time.And that's true, with his sister-in-law playing along!He unconsciously slowed down his steps. When he reached the door, he saw Tiffany happily playing on the grass. Running ahead of her were Harry and Jess, and behind them were two small dogs named Xù. It looked like they were having a lot of fun! Ember Canen was sitting under a parasol, drinking fruit juice and keeping an eye on the little one.The scene was so gentle and light that it was hard to disturb.He folded his arms across his chest and stood there quietly, watching.After a while, Ember Canen seemed to sense someone behind her looking at her. She turned reflexively, catching his amused gaze. She smiled back at him. As sh
