After breakfast, the man put on his coat, grabbed his keys and briefcase, and left for work. Ms. Susan started to clean up the dining table. “Madam, since Sir has already left, you’d better go too. It’s getting late.”

Although Jessica was mute, Winson, her son, was able to talk because Ms. Susan, Blake, and the early education computer taught him to.

Because she could not even teach her son the most basic things, she had to do her best to demonstrate her love. From washing him up to preparing his breakfast and dinner, and buying his clothes and shoes plus baby products, she did them all by herself.

The doorbell rang. Whenever he heard the pleasant chime of the bell music, Winson would wave his little toy car in the air.

When Ms. Susan turned around to Jessica, she noticed her clear black eyes turn a little gloomy. Even her smile somewhat froze.

Ms. Susan stopped tidying the table and sighed as she wiped her hands and went to answer the door.

“Ms. Jackson, you are early.” Ms. Susan opened the door for Kim.

Ever since Winson uttered his first word, the family realized that the child might face difficulties in speaking, so they started to search for a linguistic teacher to teach him how to speak.

Kim was undoubtedly spectacular. She came from a family of scholars besides being beautiful and kind herself. She graduated from a famous university with a bachelor's degree and had mastered Mandarin, English, French, and even Spanish. She even possessed the qualification as a nursery teacher.

“Morning, Ms. Susan, Mrs. Ferguson.” Kim changed into the soft indoor slippers at the entrance before she walked in. Her beautiful eyes scanned the living room and the kitchen. “Has Mr. Ferguson already gone to work this early?”

Ms. Susan nodded. “Yeah, Mr. Ferguson is always early. He doesn’t like getting stuck in traffic.”

While Ms. Susan might not be highly educated, she had been a nanny for many upper-class families, so she had seen many kinds of people throughout her career. She knew that Ms. Jackson was not merely here to teach Winson how to speak.

She glanced at Jessica again. The reason why she had reminded Jessica to leave early was that she did not want the latter to run into this woman. After all, hiring another woman to teach her own child how to speak was not the best feeling a mother could experience.

On top of that, when Ms. Susan noticed how elegantly Ms. Jackson was dressed, she knew what the woman was planning.

“Take care of Winson. I’m going to work,” Jessica communicated with Ms. Susan by sign language before she smiled and nodded at Kim. She then kissed her son, who was playing with his toy car in the baby chair before she took her bag and left.

She was a teacher at a deaf-mute school. Ever since the Fergusons hired Kim as a nursery teacher, she decided to go back to work.

The Fergusons was a respectable family in Beijing. They had countless properties under their name, be it villas or an entire skyscraper.

When Blake and Jessica got married, they were still staying in the old Ferguson manor, but after Winson was born, the grandfather was worried that his precious grandchild might get infected or fall sick, so he told Blake and Jessica to move out.

Blake bought a single-story mansion for that purpose. Although it was not exactly big, it was not entirely a small shack either. The mansion was around 300 square meters large.

There were no stairs in the house, so there was no risk of the child falling down from the stairs. Most of the furniture in the house had rounded edges. Even those with sharper edges were padded with soft edge covers. The floor was covered with a velvet carpet so that even if the child fell down, it would not hurt as much.

They chose a reasonably sized house because if the child decided to run around, his parents would be able to locate him easily.

Looking at all the signs, be it Blake himself or his entire family, everyone doted on Winson tremendously.

    Traveling from the mansion to the deaf and mute school using the Second Metro Line required a little more than an hour since she had to commute from the first station to the last station. Jessica was the daughter of the Scotts, another respectable family in Beijing. Her father, Donald, was over the moon when he got a daughter in his senior years. He had happily claimed that as long as the Scotts had a daughter, he would not ask for anything else, but unfortunately, sometime later, his happiness was replaced by sorrow when the family realized that their precious daughter was mute. Donald was a proud man and his mute daughter was probably the biggest shock to his life. He did not hold a grand baby shower for his daughter, and when she was of age, he also did not send her to a prestigious school, where the children of dignitaries and respectable families went to. Instead, he sent her to a deaf and mute school quietly. He barely let his daughter step out of the house. Many teachers

    The performance was great, but it was just a rehearsal. No one knew what would the children be like when they truly went on stage, performing for a real audience. The local television station was hosting a Mid-Autumn Gala, and all the schools signed up for the competition segment. After several rounds of selection, Jessica and her play “Hear Your Voice” were fortunate enough to stay till the end. Dean was a voluntary teacher at the deaf and mute school. He came to the school when Jessica had gone on her maternity break, and when she came back, he had already served at the school for a little over half a year. He usually dropped by on the weekends. Every time he came, the children welcomed him like he was king. They loved to gather around him. Since the school had been having rehearsals for the play recently, he would drop by in the afternoon if he was free. Jessica waved at him. “The children worked harder than me. They are nervous,” she signed to him, looking worried. She fu

    Before he arrived, the driver called Jessica, “Ma’am, Mr. Ferguson went to the Mid-Autumn Gala as per the invite. He told me to drive you to the old manor first.” Jessica tapped on the phone screen as a sign to express her acknowledgment. She then carried Winson in her arms. On the couch was the gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival which she had prepared for the elders in the family. Miss Susan helped her to take the gift down. The driver stood beside the car, but when Jessica came out, he did not even welcome her or open the door for her. Miss Susan glared at him before she put the gift in the car. The driver was a veteran driver for the Fergusons, and he was good at choosing sides. He knew that Jessica barely had any power in the family. Although he might call her ‘Madam’, he never treated her as Mrs. Ferguson. Jessica never liked to cause trouble, so she tended to be less calculative. The driver started the car and reached the old Fergusons’ manor in 20 minutes. Jessica got

    Robert had reached the age at which he had to read the newspapers with a pair of glasses as it was quite demanding for him to discern the tiny words. He looked serious as he concentrated on the articles, but Jessica knew he was merely putting on a show because he did not want to look at her. Nevertheless, Jessica forced a smile on her face and put the gift she had gotten for Robert on the tea table. Lady Cecilia played with Winson for a while before she carried him to the garden. On the left of the manor was another smaller building. To be exact, it was a newly built single-story building for Old Master Ferguson after he fell sick. Old Master Ferguson was confined to his sick bed all year long. He would go out to the balcony for some sunlight if the weather was good and he only had a handful of visitors. As Lady Cecilia carried the great-grandchild to the old master, Jessica followed. However, when she reached the entrance, Jessica stopped. Without the old master’s permission,

    Although it was just a single question, Old Master Ferguson was already tired. He waved his hand to send everyone out so that he could rest. When the group walked to the garden, the servant came by and informed them that dinner was ready. They then moved to the dining area. The table was filled with scrumptious dishes. Jessica waited for Robert and his wife to sit first before she took her seat beside the baby chair. Jessica had to prioritize feeding Winson at the table. She would feed him with a mouthful of baby food first before she ate from her own bowl. It was rather fun when the mother and son took turns to eat. However, it could only happen at home, not in the old Ferguson manor. Jessica would have to feed Winson first and make sure he was full before she could eat. There were rules in the family, and she was not allowed to casually have dinner with her son. If Blake was around, the situation would be better because he would usually carry Winson and feed the child. No o

    Delighted, Lady Cecilia carried Winson and put him on her lap. “Little Winson is really smart and sharp. You spotted Daddy at first glance.” Lady Cecilia glanced at Jessica and saw her peeling an apple with the fruit knife. The moment Jessica saw the TV screen, her hand slipped and she cut her finger with the fruit knife. Fortunately, it was just a shallow cut. While she was not seriously hurt, it still stung just like how the scene stung her heart. Beside Blake was Kim. It was apparent that Kim was Blake’s partner for the Mid-Autumn Gala. Jessica and Blake had been married for a little more than two years. However, the heat surrounding their marriage had faded, and the husband and wife almost never got together in the public eye. She was the mute wife who appeared in her husband’s bed in such a degrading manner and was forced to get married because she got pregnant. The marriage was stretched to its limit. It was hanging on the edge and could break at any moment. Everyone

    “Winson is already a little over a year old. You know, a child can barely remember anything before the age of 4. If you leave him now, he might not remember it in the future.” Jessica clenched her fists tightly without showing any response. Lady Cecilia noticed Jessica’s clenched fists. Her proud and contempt gaze at Jessica softened a bit as she sighed and said, “Why do you even insist on staying? There’s no love between you and Blake, and our family doesn’t like you. I’m sure you feel the same about us.“You used every possible method to get into our family back then because you want to save your family, the Scotts, am I right? Now, Scotts Corporation might not be as strong as it was, but it has overcome the financial crisis.“You can see it for yourself. With Blake’s status, what he needs is a wife that can help him in public and care for him in private. Unfortunately, you can’t do either.“As for Winson, I know it’s hard for you to leave him, but the child will grow…Of cours

    She turned around and looked at Blake’s handsome face as he was still asleep. She smirked ironically and then turned back to the moonlight, enjoying it until it disappeared at dawn. At daybreak, Jessica finally felt sleepy, so she succumbed to slumber but woke up soon after that. The sun was already up, and the first light shed its brilliance over the floor while the dust danced in its rays. Jessica took a while to wake up from the dizziness. She was not used to sleeping with Blake. Every time she was in bed with him, she would sleep late and wake up early. Blake was still asleep, but his arm around her had softened. Jessica looked at his sleeping face again. Blake’s features were flawless. His brows were thick, his nose was high, and his facial features were pronounced. Everyone in the Fergusons had good looks, but as the son of the first beauty of Beijing, Lady Cecilia, Blake stood out. Be it when he was asleep or when he was awake, he was the perfect man. Jessica focused

    This was his daughter, who had half of his blood on him. It was said that the daughter was like her father, and this child would look more and more like him in the future.This was his work.Mo Feitong was very satisfied with the person he created. The more he looked, the more satisfied he became. When he held her in his arms and looked at her, he laughed foolishly."Blue carp, look at you. You knead the mud every day. It's better for me to make it for you."Lan Li saw someone coming from the corner of her eye. She secretly stepped on him and whispered, "Shut up!"Blake came over with Jessica and said with a smile, "I heard it. I hope this child will grow up and not be as thick-skinned as you."He looked at the baby. Half a year had passed, and the little girl was growing up to be white and tender, more and more beautiful.Blake said to Lan Li, "It's better to act like you."Mo Feitong glared at him.

    "What if you add his surname?""Mo, Mo, Mo Xiao?" Jane came to her senses and tried hard to hold back her laughter.Indeed, such a good name, coupled with Mo Feitong's surname, had no meaning of blessing at all. No wonder Lan Li disliked it."Even now, the two of them are still arguing over names. Old Mr. Mo is urging to them register. Alas, the baby's completion of its first month of life dinner is about to start, and the name on the invitation card is still empty..."Jane smiled and listened to him.In the past three years, they had no contacts with phone, app, or emails, not even a letter on paper.However, after three years, they didn't seem to have been separated for a long time at all. It seemed more like they had returned to the days when they were together before.Calm, occasionally look at other people's lives, and talk about themself."I think it's a good name.

    At the last moment, Pei Xian gave up. Wasn't she resentful?As everyone's faces lit up, Jane's lips twitched. "I can only thank him."She saw him putting on the ring to Yan Ling and could understand him. She could only thank him for agreeing to marry Yan Ling at that time.Putting aside the fact that he didn't have time to think about it at that time, it was the last request of a dying person and her last hope.It was she, Jane, who owed Yan Ling.

    If she had not been born, as long as she took the blame for feticide, those people would have been able to live well.They would not know each other. If they did not know each other, they would have a different life.Jane fixed her eyes on Lian Liang and unconsciously tightened her grip, as if she wanted to crush her shoulder.Lian Liang looked at Jane's ferocious face and was so scared that she forgot to cry. She sobbed again and again and didn't dare to cry out because of the pain in her shoulder. She just frowned tightly.They looked at each other for a long time as if they were confronting each other.Jane's throat was stuck. After a long time, her face softened and tears trickled down from her eyes. With difficulty, she said, "But so many people... because of you, because of me, they lost their lives... only the two of us have to bear all of this... ... we have no reason to cry. We have no right to blame anyone...""There is nowhere for us to retreat to..."Jane felt a fire

    The ward was empty. There was only his voice, and no one responded to him.Glancing at Jane, Zhang Yeting knew that he had finished what he wanted to say, so he turned around and walked towards the door.His trip to the United States this time was actually to convince Zuo Yiming to write his will first, but he didn't expect that...At this time, Joe stopped him and said, "You'll report the truth to that person, won't you?"Joe picked up the document, walked up to Zhang Yeting, and said, "Tell him that Lian Liang has been killed by Zheng Zai. His last heir is gone."Zuo Yiming yearned for someone to inherit the kingdom, and in the end was told that there was no one to do so. It was the greatest blow to him and also the greatest irony."The sins of the Zuos can't be redeemed even in hell!"..."Joe, the girl is crying again.

    She had worn a wedding dress and married him...Pei Xian's eyes burned. He clutched her hand tightly and swallowed it slightly. He nodded. "Alright."Pei Xian asked Lin Feiran to go buy a diamond ring immediately. Jiang Shu hurriedly took out the ring from her bag and said, "No need. There's one here."Pei Xian had bought the diamond ring at a jewelry shop. Yan Ling had said that the engagement would be canceled, but she was reluctant to throw it away and had been carrying it with her all the time.Pei Xian took the ring and slowly put it on her finger with trembling hands.Yan Ling's fingers were red and swollen. After wearing the ring for a long time, she was satisfied. She looked at Pei Xian with her eyes shining, and a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.Outside the ward, Jane watched blankly as Pei Xian put the ring on Yan Ling's finger and saw her trying her best to put on a happy smile.The doctor's regretful words kept echoing in her mind: "Miss Yan's injury is so

    Zheng Zai's car exploded. He was severely injured, his spleen ruptured, and his back was seriously burned. He was temporarily sent to the intensive care unit. Whether he could survive the 24 hours or not depended on his luck.Yan Ling's situation was similar to Zheng Zai's, and she was in a critical situation.In comparison, Lian Liang's situation was the best, but she had a fracture and a concussion.The dark clouds covering the sky finally came down.Jane had no idea how she came to the morgue to take the last look at the couple.She fell to her knees with a plop, but there were no tears in her eyes at all.She gazed at the corpse covered in white cloth and did not dare lift it.Joe walked up to her slowly, lifted the cloth, and took a look.

    Blake frowned. They had already returned to Shujinyuan. How could there be a car accident?However, the location of the incident wasn't far from Shujinyuan, which meant that the Lians wouldn't be coming out until they arrived at Shujinyuan."Mr. Ferguson, you seem to know something. Who is Zheng Zai? Why did he hold the little girl hostage?"The police kept asking. Blake looked calm and said, "Captain Li, the situation is chaotic now. We'll investigate after the operations are over. What do you think?"The police looked around. There were nurses coming in and out, and someone was stopping the media from coming in for an interview. It was indeed chaotic, so they agreed.Blake gave Pei Xian a look. The two of them walked to a quiet corner, and Joe also came over.Blake asked, "Is Zheng Zai from Zhang Yeting's side?""He was behind this?"Joe pursed his lips and frowned.
