The unresponsive Warren finally moved. His fingers twitched slightly, and his eyeballs also moved minutely.The doctor immediately said, "There are signs of life. Take him to the hospital at once."Upon hearing this, the Larkin family collectively let out a sigh.Chester looked at Evelyn with teary eyes. "Evie, don't worry. I'll find the best doctor to treat Warren."Evelyn clenched her fists and tried to make herself relax."Mr. Larkin, I'll go with him to the hospital. You should handle all the affairs at home first. Who gave Iris the gasoline, and who tampered with the gas pipes? If we manage to find this person, we'll be able to track down the mastermind behind everything."Chester nodded in satisfaction when he saw how she could think so rationally even in a dire situation. "I expected nothing less from the daughter-in-law of the Larkin family. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll have someone go with you."Half an hour later, Warren was being treated in the emer
The doctor gave Evelyn a sterile gown to wear before taking her into the emergency room.When she saw Warren connected to all kinds of machines, she felt as though her heartstrings were about to snap.She clenched her fists tightly but could barely feel her nails piercing her skin.Slowly, she walked to Warren's side. She held his palm between her cold hands and said calmly, "Warren, our baby will turn two months old in a few days. The doctor said we'll be able to hear his heartbeat then. Don't you want to feel a sign of his life?"She gently placed Warren's hand on her belly so he could feel her body heat and their baby.She glanced at the heart rate monitor that wasn't responding then continued, "Hubby, in a few months, he'll be able to move in my belly. I heard that it feels absolutely magical. Don't you want to experience that too?"Didn't you promise me that you were going to start training him in the womb? You haven't started reading him the book that I borrowed from Tammy.
"But this would be very hard on you. I'll be in the hospital, and to make it seem more realistic, you would have to keep me company at the hospital too. Can your body take that?"Evelyn shook her head. "I'll be fine. When my father was in the hospital, I practically lived there too. Our baby was fine too. Wait, let me call the others in. I should let them know."Warren caressed her head lovingly. "This has been really tough on you and our baby. Once everything is settled, I'll take the both of you with me, and we'll live our lives on our own terms."The two of them discussed their action plan based on their current circumstances, and then Evelyn walked out of the emergency room.When everyone saw her, they immediately crowded around her.Evelyn looked up with tearful eyes. Her gaze was filled with undisguisable hurt."Evie, how is Warren?" Chet had a bad feeling. He immediately wrapped his arms around Evelyn's shoulders.Evelyn shook her head lightly. "He's still unconscious. Th
Everyone was drowning in their sorrows when they suddenly heard that voice. They trembled in fear at the reproachful tone. Everyone shifted their gaze to Warren.All they saw were his eyes glaring coldly at them as he fumed."Holy moly! He's turned into a zombie!" shrieked Ethan in surprise. He was the first to break the silence and quickly pulled Jazzie into his arms so he could cover her eyes.Chet reached out in disbelief and put his finger underneath Warren's nose. When he felt the warm air from Warren's breathing tickle his finger, he was both surprised and ecstatic."He's not a zombie! He's still alive. I told you he won't leave Evie and the baby behind."Warren slapped Chet's hand away. His voice was raspy and filled with distaste when he spoke."Keep your dirty hands away from me. I survived the fire, but I may not survive this smell."Everyone was tense upon seeing him awaken. After seeing that he was doing fine, they all slowly relaxed.Jazzie angrily flung Ethan's
Ethan frowned at Jazzie and said, "Why are you crying instead of Evelyn if her partner is the one who is in a vegetative state? Everyone might assume that the two of you are having an affair if you do so."His voice brimmed with jealousy when he said that.Those words made Jazzie so angry that she couldn't help kicking him again. She complained, "Ethan Xavier, will it kill you to shut up? Why must you say such infuriating words? In fact, how are you still alive? Why hasn't someone killed you in a fit of anger yet?"Ethan grinned mischievously and replied, "If I die, no one will be around to piss you off. Won't that break your heart?"Jazzie nearly fainted from anger.She felt as though the two of them were destined to be enemies.She glared at Ethan and then smiled nonchalantly. After that, she said, "I'm not a fool, so why would I ever be heartbroken for you?"As soon as she finished saying that, she made her way to Evelyn's side. Holding Evelyn's hand, Jazzie promised, "Don't
Davina Teller appeared in trouble when she looked at Ethan.Ethan was in a hurry, so he didn't even think about it before he agreed to help. "Get in the car," said Ethan.Davina's heart started to thump at his consent. She couldn't help her fingers trembling a little as she opened the passenger door. She was about to get in the car when she heard Ethan order, "Get in the back seat."Davina was stunned momentarily. She smiled and replied, "Have you forgotten that I get carsick if I sit at the back? I thought you knew that since we were studying together at the university."Ethan didn't even spare her a glance. His gaze was fixed on Jazzie.When he saw Jazzie staggering toward the entrance and reaching out to hail a cab, he immediately ordered, "Get in quick!"He didn't wait until Davina had settled in. He immediately stepped on the gas.It scared Davina so much that she quickly grabbed the armrest. She was a little angry at him when she looked at him and complained, "Slow dow
Rumor had it that Ethan enjoyed partying at clubs.Thinking that something was about to happen, Davina's heart began thumping even faster.Her face began blushing and feeling hot as well.Unfortunately, she heard Ethan saying something else in the next second. "The train station is right there," said Ethan. "I'll drop you off there since I have to do something today."After saying that, Ethan hit the brakes and unlocked the door. He nodded at Davina to gesture for her to get out of the car.Snapping out of her fantasy, Davina secretly gritted her teeth.The smile on her face stiffened as well. "Okay," replied Davina. "Drive safely, Ethan."She got out of the car unwillingly and noted how Ethan never even said goodbye. He left just like that.That infuriated Davina so much that she stomped a little. The warm gaze in her eyes instantly turned sinister.Ethan drove quickly. In less than ten minutes, he caught up with the car Jazzie was in.The car stopped outside a club.Benjam
Hearing Ezra's response made Ethan chuckle nonchalantly. He replied, "That's not possible. How can I possibly be in love with her? The woman of my dreams is sweet and graceful. She is nothing like the person I was talking about."The person I'm talking about has a sharp tongue and is so violent. I'd rather stay single forever than be with her."It seems you have learned nothing from your marriage. You can't even figure out something so simple. You might as well get a divorce."Ezra chuckled in exasperation and said, "Even a dumb mutt can tell that you're into Jazzie, so don't bother denying it to me.""You can tell?""Of course."While at ease, Ethan refuted, "Then you're an idiot."He hung up the call mercilessly and cussed angrily at Ezra.Ethan's carefree smile remained even as he fished a cigarette out of his pocket.There was no way he was in love with Jazzie. He was simply taking care of her because she was Evelyn's best friend. He was certain that he wouldn't have cared
