“I’m a family member. Can’t I stay with him?” Mona asked.

“No. It’s respect to the doctors and staff.” Ginny glanced at Mona indifferently. She looked tense as well. “I don’t mean to target you on purpose, but Mrs. Fontaine, I hope you can cooperate at such a critical time.”

Thaddeus squeezed Mona’s hand and coaxed her softly, “Be good and wait outside. My assistant will be with you.”

Mona looked down. Tears suddenly streamed down her face.

Thaddeus’ heart tightened. He took her waist and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t cry. You’ll make me worried.”

Mona controlled her emotions and suppressed them. She clung to Thaddeus as she was reluctant to leave him.

“Then promise me you’ll come out. Don’t make me wait too long.”

“I promise.”

Mona buried her face in Thaddeus’ arms. She calmed down and finally let go of her hand. Afterward, she looked up at him and said, “Thaddeus, go in without any worries. I’ll be here as your support while you fight and win the battle.”

    Mona got up and began to feel restless. ‘Thaddeus, oh Thaddeus, are you making funeral arrangements? I won’t accept it. I don’t care about how much money I get! I only want you to come back to me safely.’ “Mrs. Fontaine…” The assistant looked at the documents that were thrown all over the floor and instantly felt troubled. Mr. Fontaine had specifically instructed him to ask Mona to sign the documents. Nonetheless, Thaddeus also left a way out and foresaw that Mona might not be able to accept it suddenly. Therefore, he made a will in advance to give all his assets to Mona. Time passed bit by bit. It was dead silent outside the operating room, leaving Mona to be tormented on her own. Mona rounded her back and covered her face with both hands. She looked exhausted as if she was in a trace. After waiting for an unknown time, someone appeared in front of her. When she looked up, she saw that it was Jennifer. Jennifer was holding a thermos in her hand. She said worriedly, “Mona,

    Not wanting to think of the worst that could happen, Jennifer had to stop her thoughts from spiraling. She packed up the food container. “Mona, I’m heading home to see the kids. Call me if you need anything.” Mona only glanced at Jennifer without a word. With her vacant eyes shifting back to the entrance to the operating theater, she stared blankly at the closed door. The sky outside changed from dawn to dusk, and another day went by. Still, the surgery was in progress. There have been two rotations of the lead surgeon so far. Mona anxiously stopped the surgeon who had gotten off his shift about an update on Thaddeus. The surgeon wearily replied, “The surgery is ongoing, but Mr. Fontaine’s vitals are stable. He is doing well so far.” Mona was relieved. “That’s good. That’s good…” “How is Thaddeus doing, Mona?” Anna had gotten a call from Jennifer and found out about Thaddeus’ surgery. She hurried over to keep Mona company. “It’s twenty-five hours into the surgery. It’s not ov

    Carrying himself with ease, Victor turned to Mona and gave her a concerned look that spoke volumes. Mona met his gaze and smiled gratefully. Thank goodness he arrived in time to help her out of a jam. “Mona, do you feel okay?” Anna asked with concern. “I’m alright. They are good at twisting words. I couldn’t argue with them, and it was getting on my nerves.” “I wonder who’s making up all the stories. It seems to me that the public is leaning in Victor’s favor. Things don’t look good for Thaddeus.” Mona was sure of one thing. “It’s okay. It’s not a bad thing. At least, it takes the heat away from Thaddeus’ surgery.” Thaddeus’ split personality was the major liability, and people with malicious intent could use the vulnerability against him. “Oh, that’s right. You have a point. It’s a good thing you’re sharp to cover all the bases.” Anna needed a little more time to catch on. “Anna, why don’t you head down with the assistant to keep watch over the operating theater? Call

    Wiping the smile off his face, Victor earnestly uttered, “So, the rumors are true?” Mona lowered her head and caressed her belly. “It’s just a minor surgery. He was supposed to take me for my prenatal checkup, but his appendix acted up. We decided to get it taken care of since we were at the hospital anyway.” Victor was taken aback at first, but despair quickly washed over him. “You’re… pregnant?” “Yeah.” “That’s great news. You’re having another child so soon. Since Uncle Thaddeus is in surgery, I should go with you and be with him.” Victor smiled dryly. “That’s not necessary. He’s still in surgery. You can visit once it’s over, and he’s all better.” Spreading her arms apart, Mona stopped Victor. Victor asked, “What are you nervous about, huh? I’m family. Why are you stopping me from checking on him? Maybe…” The man smiled wickedly. “Maybe you have something to hide, Aunt Mona?” “How dare you! Is that the tone you take to your aunt, Victor?” Mona angrily blurted.

    “I’d advise you to quit while you’re ahead if you are fighting for the Fontaine Group’s CEO position because of me.” Mona shot Victor a chilling look and resolutely uttered, “I am Thaddeus’ wife and your aunt. This is a reality that will never change.” Victor was used to Mona’s rejections, so one more rejection did not hurt more than it already did. As far as he knew, Thaddeus had been seeking medical advice for surgery since a few months back. While Victor had no idea about the nature of Thaddeus’ illness, it was clearly a complicated case since Thaddeus sought help from medical experts as far as the States. For all Victor knew, Thaddeus could die on the operating table. Victor would never give up so long as there was a glimmer of hope to win over Mona. Victor hissed through clenched teeth, “Quit? I’ve loved you for more than a decade, and you’re telling me to quit? Tell me, Susan. How am I supposed to quit? Should I dig my heart for you to cut it to pieces so I can give u

    Thaddeus curled his lips and smiled charmingly. It was great to be alive and an awesome feeling to wake up to his beloved wife. Seeing that Thaddeus did not respond to her, Mona remembered what the doctor told her. Did the man lose his ability to talk as a result? “Hey, do you feel any pain anywhere?” Mona leaned against the bed with the upper half of her body on top of Thaddeus. She observed the man’s face at a close distance, pulling down his eyelids and pinching his nose. She smacked his face as Thaddeus chuckled. “Hey, can’t you talk anymore?” Raising a brow, Thaddeus said nothing in response. Mona furrowed her brows. “No way. Did you go mute?”It would be a problem to communicate with him. “It’s okay if you can’t talk anymore. Medical technology has made tremendous progress these days. I can help you with alternative medicine too. The most important thing is that you’re alive and well, and nothing else matters.” Intrigued by Mona’s nagging, Thaddeus smiled and gave

    “It’s okay. That’s normal after surgery. The doctor gave me a heads-up. Since it’s a brain operation, you might have damage to the motor nerve. With the help of physiotherapy, you’ll be back to running in no time.” Mona consoled Thaddeus. Thaddeus lifted his hands and gave Mona a gentle push. “Leave.” Mona froze. She looked at the man who was fine a second ago, not knowing what to do. “Can you leave? I need some time alone,” Fixing his gaze on Mona, Thaddeus spoke callously. “Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.” It dawned on Mona why the man was persistent in driving her away. He did not want her to see him at his worst. In a way, he was trying to protect his pride and dignity as a man. However, they were a married couple. Mona would never turn her back on him. Mona could understand the man’s vulnerability and his feelings at the moment. Hence, she said nothing and quietly left the ward to give Thaddeus the time and space to sort his emotions.

    With the help of the two caretakers, Thaddeus sat in the wheelchair. He had overcome his emotions and pulled himself together. His mind was clear as he sorted out what he should do next. Thaddeus called the assistant into the room and laid out the following plan. “I won’t attend any media interviews before the election, but I won’t disappear from the public eye either. I don’t want to give the press something to talk about. My wife will represent me. Going forward, whatever she says or does will be considered my own. She has the authority to attend all corporate conferences, big or small.” Mona dropped her jaw in shock. She was to attend company meetings and speak on his behalf. It was trying to make the impossible happen. On second thought, Thaddeus must have his reasons to do so. She had the confidence to do a good job anyway. The assistant took note of everything Thaddeus said. The Fontaine Group was about to choose its next leader, and with Thaddeus still in recovery, the

    The couple was tired after a time of bonding, and they lay on the wicker chair, closing their eyes before slipping into dreamland. Sometime later, Thaddeus felt a chill and opened his eyes. His T-shirt was wet, and Bobby and Millie were spraying water at him with water guns. The youngest child was nearby too in her stroller. She suckled on a pacifier and watched the bustle. “Where’s your mommy?” Thaddeus shuffled his hair and looked around, searching for Mona. “Freeze, Daddy. We have held Mommy captive. Surrender yourself to us.” Acting like the boss, Millie pointed her massive water gun at her daddy. Thaddeus had indulged his eldest daughter so much that the girl would only have things her way. Nevertheless, Thaddeus played along since it was only a game. He knew his children well. Millie took after Mona and was shrewd. Still, Millie would be on her best behavior when in public. “Hurry up and surrender, Daddy. Put your hands up, and we will release Mommy.” Millie poked

    It was a cooling breeze for the Summer as flowers bloomed in the garden of Fontaine Residence. Mona rested on a wicker chair under the wine arbor, holding in hand the latest issue of the weekly design magazine, with her face on the cover. In the photo, she held a trophy up on the stage of a design competition, standing out amidst the radiant background. Since the birth of her youngest, Mona took a month off for rest before picking up her passion again and returning to the world of design. Recently, she won first place in an international design competition and found fame. Mona was happy with her life and enjoyed the rich and peaceful state of things. She had time to herself for once during the weekend, so she found a quiet spot to enjoy time alone while the kids had a nap. The sunlight shone over Mona through the leaves, basking her in warmth. She let out a yawn and closed her eyes for a nap. Thaddeus walked out of the house and saw the woman enjoying the moment of bliss. The t

    “Mommy, did the baby kick you today?” Millie wobbled her way over and placed her hand on Mona’s belly. She could feel the baby stirring inside her mommy’s stomach. Millie was pleasantly surprised. “The baby kicked me! Mommy, is the baby swimming inside your belly?” “Yeah. The baby is kicking.” Mona affectionately caressed her belly. The fetus had been kicking and rolling a lot more lately, so she could not get much sleep. The tall and strong man drew near and looked tenderly at Mona. His husky voice lingered in Mona’s ear. “Weren’t you craving strawberries? I placed an order, and the fruit is being airlifted here as we speak. It’ll arrive tonight.” “Yay.” Mona was gleeful. Since the beginning of her pregnancy, she had become quite fussy and craved the strangest food. She wanted caviar from Japan, cookies from France, and strawberries from the highlands. Anything she asked for would be transported fresh to the house the next day.The man had taken good care of her during her en

    “No. I won’t let myself go.” The man huffed heavily after finishing his sit-ups. Then, he rolled out of bed and got changed in the walk-in closet. Mona stared at the man’s well-toned back, gasping at his body upkeep. People would probably have a hard time believing he was a father of three. With that in mind, Mona became aware of a potential threat. She got up and drew close to the man. “You’re responsible for taking care of the baby once the child is born.” Thaddeus straightened his tie. “Alright. I can do that. I want to be present in the baby’s life and your pregnancy. You should rest at home once your belly gets bigger. I’ll handle Bobby and Millie’s school run, okay?” The man pinched Mona’s face dotingly. “Now you’re talking. Are you heading out?” Mona got up on her tiptoes to brush off the dust from his shoulders. “Yeah. I need to sort out a lot of paperwork.” “I wrote down notes of the meeting I attended on your behalf a few days ago.” Mona walked out to retrieve a

    Thaddeus was in the hospital for a week before he was discharged. The election day for the successor of the Fontaine Group was two weeks later, but Thaddeus had not made a full recovery in his legs. He remained in a wheelchair and persisted in his daily physiotherapy. Mona had a room freed up in Fontaine Residence for Thaddeus’ rehabilitation. A specialized doctor would come around the house every day to help Thaddeus with his recovery. Thaddeus was a strong man to fight through the pain in his physiotherapy sessions. That day, Mona watched as the workers hung a decorative painting on the wall in the hallway. She ordered paintings of her preference and had them shipped from abroad. Mona instructed the workers to put it up, not paying attention to the wobbly painting that had been hung behind her. The painting was about to hit her from the back. Thaddeus was exiting the rehabilitation room when he caught sight of the danger. Getting up from his wheelchair, Thaddeus took large stri

    The few pictures of Mona and Victor at the height of a tussle gave the impression that they were having an intimate moment. Thaddeus went through the photos with a look of disdain. “So you stood there and pretended to take pictures of me to show me these? You set my wife up with another man to tell me she was cheating on me?” It was not hard to guess the game the paparazzi were playing, but who was he trying to fool? The man was dumbstruck, as it never occurred to him that Thaddeus could see through him. It had taken the three of them to come up with the idea. However, it had not taken much for Thaddeus to foil their plan. Mona let out a relieved smile. She thought that Thaddeus would be furious at the look of the pictures and had prepared herself to give a long explanation. She was surprised that Thaddeus quickly saw through the attempt to drive them apart. Their relationship was solid, and no one could come between them. Mona thought to herself with glee when she took

    Mona stood in front of Thaddeus, blocking his face as she confronted the paparazzi who took their picture. “Hand over the camera!” “There’s nothing in the camera. Besides, it’s my personal property. Why should I give it to you?” “You clearly took a picture of my husband. You have some nerve to say there’s nothing.” Mona grabbed the man by the wrist and lifted her foot to kick. Thaddeus grabbed her wrist to stop her. “You’re pregnant. Think about the child.” Thaddeus pulled Mona back, leaving himself exposed to the paparazzi. “Why do you want to photograph me? Do you want to see me in a wheelchair? Take a picture then.” Thaddeus pulled a straight face. His nonchalant gaze spoke of intimidation. Dumbstruck, the paparazzi looked at Thaddeus’ legs and smiled dryly. “What happened to your legs, Mr. Fontaine?” Thaddeus did not answer. However, his dark eyes flicked chillingly as he looked murderously at the paparazzi. Even in a wheelchair, Thaddeus did not have to say anythi
