At the hospital.Rebecca listened to Sean's report.When she heard that Zachary had come to the hospital, she immediately panicked. "I knew that woman was bad luck! Ever since Zachary got together with her, he's been plagued with all sorts of misfortune and illness!"Eric hesitated before speaking. "Zachary went to see the doctor because of morning sickness?""What?"Rebecca couldn't believe her ears. "Do you even hear how ridiculous that sounds?"Sean chimed in, "It’s true."Rebecca was rendered speechless.Sean explained, "I consulted with an expert. This kind of situation is rare but does happen. If a husband deeply loves his wife, seeing her suffer during pregnancy can cause him to experience symptoms like morning sickness."At that moment, Rebecca felt like a beehive had exploded in her ears.All she could hear was a loud buzzing noise.It took her a long moment to recover before she scoffed."He’s such a good husband, isn’t he? I risked my life to give birth to him an

The Collins family’s expressions all changed.Although Madam Collins had spoken so casually, deep down, she was certainly still displeased about Zachary marrying Jane.She had simply seen the deeper truth. Zachary was resolute about Jane.She also understood that Zachary was no longer someone they could control.But when this was bluntly laid bare, her chest still tightened.“What do you mean by that?” Rebecca pressed.Sean merely replied, “That’s all I can say. And that’s because of the bond we share as former master and servant. After all, now I must follow Mr. Collins’s orders.”The room fell into a prolonged silence.Madam Collins broke it with a soft chuckle.She looked at Rebecca and said, “You said he doesn’t acknowledge you as his mother, yet he could have quietly gone off to register the marriage without us knowing, but instead, he let Sean inform us.”Rebecca didn’t immediately react.Madam Collins clarified, “He specifically instructed Sean to pass the news to you

“These are all the photos of landscapes and animals you’ve taken over the years?”“Yes, I didn’t have anything else to gift, but I thought the baby could experience these through pictures while young and then go see them in person when older.”“You’re so thoughtful! I’ll thank you on behalf of this little embryo, Auntie.”Jane genuinely liked it. After flipping through the album, she instinctively tried to pass it to someone nearby but then remembered that Zachary had gotten out of the car when Jordan got in. He was now riding in the vehicle behind them.She placed the album into the front passenger seat’s storage compartment and then started chatting with Jordan about her recent experiences.Jordan said, “Not much, really. Things went pretty smoothly overall. I gave all the photos to the media. I hope it can raise awareness and help save more girls. That place was hell on earth for them.”Jane nodded. “You did an amazing job.”After her praise, she asked, “What do you want to e

It was the habit of someone accustomed to a high position."What’s wrong?" the man asked, his deep voice carrying a clear warmth."Look at you, acting so cheap. If you’re happy, just smile. Why pretend?"Frank, after all, was now happily settled.Seeing others in turmoil, he liked to tease them."No wonder you can’t win your wife back."Westley was rendered speechless.Jordan, not wanting to join the topic, quickly ran off.Frank joked, "See? Your wife just ran off again."Westley clenched his molars tightly.One by one, these happy people were taking turns mocking him."If you’re not going to help, at least don’t make things worse."Frank clicked his tongue and said, "Wow, the resentment is strong."Charlotte, holding Frank’s arm, tried to smooth things over. "That’s enough, Mr. Smith. Stop making fun of others."Westley was rendered speechless.‘Thanks. Appreciate that...’Charlotte added, "And stop mentioning Zachary’s pregnancy symptoms—it’s a sign of love."Frank chuckled. "If it’

After all, most marriages were alliances based on mutual interests, with little emotional connection at the beginning.As the ties between the two families grew closer and pressure to have children increased, feelings gradually developed.His mistake lay in the three years of neglect.Even when he knew she was struggling, he didn’t step in to help.His purpose was to make her forget her feelings for him.But when she truly forgot, the pain in his heart became unbearable."If even the marriage certificate is gone, I’m afraid..."It was the first time Frank had ever heard the word "afraid" come out of Westley’s mouth.The Howard family was a renowned and powerful family. When others were still struggling with startups or working regular jobs, they had already monopolized the shipping industry and begun expanding into other sectors.As the eldest son, Westley had not only been showered with love since birth but also carried the responsibility of ensuring the Howard family’s conti

Even with two people between them, Westley could hear clearly. She was sitting right next to them—how could she possibly not have heard?Charlotte glanced at Westley, then raised her hand to gently smooth Jordan’s hair."Just small talk. Why are you so nervous? I was just thinking, if you don’t have someone you like, once you’re divorced, I could introduce someone to you."Westley gripped the glass in his hand tightly.The transparent glass began to show faint cracks.Frank’s lips curved slightly, and a hint of mischief flashed through his eyes."Mr. Howard, if you’re getting divorced, you shouldn’t stay single. The Howard family still needs a proper hostess to run the household."Westley’s sharp phoenix-like eyes narrowed slightly.What kind of game were these two playing, singing in such perfect harmony?"I have no intention of getting a divorce."Frank dragged out an exaggerated "oh" and shifted slightly, moving the arm he had draped over the back of Charlotte’s chair. His

She felt unsettled under their stares.She stiffly tried to change the topic, "Jane, was Zachary really having morning sickness?"Jane smiled. "It’s a little late to ask that, isn’t it? He’s probably done now."The aroma of the fish was irresistible, and she couldn't hold back any longer.She hadn't wanted to ask initially.After all, she had already learned about Zachary's morning sickness at the door.This was just her trying to find something to say."Oh," she said awkwardly. "Zachary really loves you...""I know that," replied Jane.Jane put some food on her plate. "So, you and that mentor of yours, there's nothing romantic going on?"Jordan's eyes widened in shock, and even the fish in her mouth suddenly tasted bland."Don't talk nonsense! My relationship with Oliver is nothing special.""Then you truly don't have someone you like?" Charlotte asked again for confirmation.At that moment, the three men just happened to walk to the screen nearby and stopped upon hearing

Jane didn’t miss the cold glint that flashed in Zachary’s eyes.It seemed he wasn’t really planning to escort Westley, nor was it because Frank had something urgent to attend to.It was likely because he had his own matters to deal with.She didn’t ask, though. Instead, she curved her lips into a smile. “I’ll wait for you at home.”Zachary picked out a bone in the fish for her. “If you’re tired, go to sleep first. I’ll definitely come home, I promise.”“Alright.”Beside them, Frank whispered something to Charlotte.Charlotte nodded to show that she understood.Jordan glanced left and right, feeling like she was the third wheel.Better to just eat.She was about to turn the table to get some muffin when the lazy Susan rotated toward her the moment she reached out.The muffin landed right in front of her.She didn’t lift her head to look, but she could feel a scorching gaze focused on her face.Her long lashes fluttered quickly, and she paused, not reaching out to pick up th

"Good.""Alright, eat well."In the car, Zachary was still checking his watch every second.He keenly noticed that Jordan had been looking at his car for quite a while.She had noticed him, so Jane couldn't have missed it either.It must have been an act.Unable to hold back, he sent a message back.Jane replied, "Did you finish seeing Westley?"Zachary immediately understood why she had been so warm and enthusiastic yesterday, but was much colder today.It was mostly because of Westley and Jordan’s situation.It was still connected in some way.He typed. "I didn’t see him. I asked about the bodyguards and then came over."Jane sent a nodding emoji.Zachary waited for a while but didn’t see any new messages from her.He had quit smoking, and when he was feeling impatient, he chewed on mint candy.The sound of him biting the mint candy felt like he was chewing on bones.It sent a chill down the driver’s spine."Sir, please don't do anything impulsive.""I won’t."Zach

“But didn’t you say you acknowledged him as an uncle?” Jordan asked in confusion.“Sigh.” Jane waved her hand dismissively. “That was just to prevent him from maintaining a marital relationship with you. At the time, I didn’t know you were already divorced. Since you two are truly divorced, there’s no need for any connection.”Jordan caught the key point. “The divorce certificate is real?”“Not only that, but your divorce status is also officially recorded. According to the Civil Affairs Bureau, you are now legally divorced.”Jordan should have been happy, but suddenly, she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.She couldn’t quite put her finger on what that feeling was.Pressing her lips together, she said, “It’s good that it’s real.”The dishes were served one after another. Jane placed some food onto Jordan’s plate. “So, you don’t have to dwell on what happened at the black market last night. Everything is settled.”Settled.It was good that things were settled.Jor

Jordan, concerned about Jane’s pregnancy, found a quiet restaurant for them to eat."Sorry, Jane, because of me, you almost got into trouble.""What does that have to do with you? Don’t be so polite with me all the time—we’re sisters."As Jane ordered her food, she added, "Your problems are my problems."Jordan was deeply moved.Sometimes, family bonds couldn’t be put into words.She and Jane hadn’t grown up together, yet when they met, everything just felt right. They clicked in every way.After their grandfather passed away and her love for Westley ended in failure, she thought she was destined to wander through life alone.But fortunately, fate hadn’t treated her too unfairly."Precisely because we’re real sisters, I’m afraid something might happen to you. I finally found my sister, and I want us to live to a hundred together."Jane flipped the menu and continued ordering. "We will. We’ll both live to a hundred. Now, pick what you want to eat."Jordan leaned in to look, f

The ward door slammed shut.From that moment on, their worlds were completely separated."Jordan."Jordan happened to run into Jane, who had just arrived at the hospital."Your eyes are red. Were you crying?"Jordan shook her head. "I’m fine, Sis. I cry easily when I get emotional—tear incontinence."Jane nodded. "Have you eaten yet? Let’s go get something to eat.""Something sweet—it’ll lift your mood."Jordan nodded again.Since Jane wasn’t there to see Westley anyway, she linked arms with Jordan and walked away.Zachary was rendered speechless.He wanted to follow but was immediately shot a glare by Jane.With a change in his steps, he walked into the ward instead."Jordy!"Westley thought Jordan had returned. The composure he usually carried was completely gone, and his voice was filled with obvious panic and nervousness.Even when he had relapses of his illness, Zachary had never seen him this vulnerable."You pissed her off so much that she left?"Westley turned

She thought about it and realized that saying too much to Westley was meaningless.He was injured because of her, and she was taking care of him—doing what she should."I've made my stance clear. I won't leave, no matter what you say. If you think I'm not professional enough, I can hire a caregiver and assist them. I don’t want to say anything else. Just rest. If you don’t want to rest, then wait for Buck to return with the food."Westley’s thin lips moved slightly, but in the end, he didn’t say a word.It wasn’t that he didn’t know what to say.Rather, he knew exactly what to say—but he couldn’t.Besides, with what she had already said, what was the point of saying anything more?"If you want to eat something, just tell Buck to buy it."But the next second, Jordan’s phone rang.It was a call from Jasmine.She answered, "What’s wrong?"Jasmine’s voice was filled with excitement. "Ms. Hickey, we’re going to Breckil! The monkey, the Saguinus—the Saguinus!"Jordan didn’t immed

"Carter!"Westley finally lost his composure completely. "You’re really annoying. No wonder your sister doesn’t even want to acknowledge you."Carter was always cold-faced, but now, his expression grew even darker.The temperature in the ward seemed to drop several degrees.Jordan was so startled that she instinctively moved aside.Westley noticed, his gaze shifting to Carter, his expression also turning heavy."If you know where to strike, you should also know your limits."Carter turned and left without another word.Westley's eyes fell back on Jordan’s face, and his expression softened. "Did he scare you?"Jordan shook her head and sat down by the bedside.The nurse entered right after, removed the catheter, and gave Jordan some instructions.She memorized them carefully.Once the nurse left, she turned to Westley. "If something’s wrong, just tell me. Don’t let pride get in the way or feel ashamed about anything.""Just treat me like a caregiver."Westley’s Adam’s appl

Carter didn’t seem to expect him to ask such a question."My examination results show that you didn’t injure your brain."Westley took a deep breath. "I mean, if I can't get up, how do I walk to the bathroom?"Carter glanced at the catheter and understood."It can be removed today. After that, you can handle things in bed, have a family member push you in a wheelchair, or call a caregiver. You have plenty of subordinates who can help you."Westley’s breathing grew heavier, clearly on the verge of losing his temper."Just hurry up and fix me!"Carter closed the medical record, clipped his pen back into his pocket, and said indifferently, "I can’t. You need my sister-in-law for that.""Then call her.""I can’t reach her. My brother made her mad again. I don’t know where she is, and she blocked me."Westley had every reason to suspect that Carter was messing with him."I’ve never done anything to wrong you, have I?"Carter shook his head. "No. But everything I’m saying is the

"Well, Ross is sick."Forced to be sick, Ross was actually chiseling ice in the Arctic at that moment.Raymond was forced to accompany him.This was because Zachary was afraid Ross would cause trouble."You said that Mr. Collins wants to give Mrs. Collins an ice sculpture and wants to carve it himself, so he asked me to get ice for him. But this ice will melt by the time it reaches Jeswood, right? After all, summer is approaching."He had a brain, but not much of one.If Zachary wanted ice for a sculpture, he could have just frozen a batch in a storage unit.Making them go to the Arctic was purely a punishment.Unfortunately, Raymond had to suffer along with Ross.Raymond couldn't help but kick Ross. "Get to work! Mr. Collins is waiting for the ice!"Ross was happy chiseling ice, but without good food, he became unhappy again.Seeing him stop, Raymond urged him on.Ross simply tossed aside the iron chisel in his hand.Raymond, being a sensible person, immediately went to f

The second reaction was, could Leanne really take care of him? She was probably just going to send him off on his way to hell.The third reaction was that this might actually be a good opportunity.They could start over from scratch.The fourth...There was no fourth.Westley said, "If it were anyone else, I'd save them too. Jordan, you're not special to me, don't overthink it. Since we're divorced, let's not drag things on. This is what you want, and actually, it's what I want too. Just leave, let's keep some dignity between us. If I have someone ask you to leave, it won't look good. After all, we were once married. Let's just do this for the sake of our grandfathers who are watching over us."Jordan felt her nose tingle, her emotions rising, and the tears were starting to gather.She really didn't like to cry.Especially during confrontations and arguments. It really made her lose her strength.But after holding it back for so long, the tears still fell."I'm not crying bec
