Half an hour later, Sonnet and Esther sat opposite each other."What did Elijah's father tell you?" Esther asked first.Sonnet repeated what Elijah's father said to her on the phone before.After hearing this, Esther clenched her fists and cursed. "Damn it, he told me he didn't agree to let the boy donate his bone marrow, and forced me to call you on the spot, but I didn't expect him to turn around and call you again to try to extort more money!""Why...you..." Sonnet was also surprised."He is my ex-husband." Esther looked at Sonnet, "When we got divorced, our child followed him at first because he had a good financial background. Later, he gambled and lost all his family property and couldn't afford to support the child, so my son came to me. We live together, but the custody of the child is still with him."So I told him about my child donating bone marrow this time because my son is underage and needs a guardian's signature. Who would have expected him to firmly oppose his so
"No, just do what she says!" Maxwell interrupted Marcus, "Whatever she wants to do, let her do it, and don't let her find out that we are helping her behind the scenes!""Alright."After Marcus hung up the phone, he could not help but roll his eyes.Carter had complained in front of him more than once, saying that Maxwell was now a wife-spoiling madman. He never believed it before, but now he finally does.Now, the wife holds the biggest position here for Maxwell. If the wife says to go east, he would be reluctant to go west. When the wife kills, he hands the knife. The wife can do whatever she wants. When the conditions are not met, create the conditions to let the wife get what she wants!Within a few days, Esther called Sonnet to inform her that after the negotiation with her ex-husband failed, the lawyer had already helped her go through the legal procedures to change the guardianship, which should be successful in about half a month.Sonnet's mood became better, and she bega
Everything went smoothly. Half a month later, Sonnet welcomed and hosted both Esther and her son.She booked a good hotel in Harbor City and bought a lot of gifts for Elijah.That night, she took Jaybie to have dinner with Esther's mother and son and let the two children bond with each other.Elijah was in his second year of high school. He probably did not want to delay his studies, so he brought his books with him, and read them in his spare time after dinner.As Sonnet and Esther were talking about some family matters, Jaybie leaned over to look at Elijah's book.Esther described the battle of wits and courage with her ex-husband in the past few days to Sonnet, and Sonnet smiled. "No matter what, you can finally get custody of the child, and many things in the future will not be subjected to his control." "Yeah, fortunately, we did a good job and did not let him find out about the bone marrow donation." Esther laughed.The two of them were talking, when Jaybie next to him su
The pain turned into rage for Bernard, so he slapped his son across the face."Stupid boy, how dare you bite me? I think you owe a beating!"Elijah covered his face and staggered a few steps. He saw an iron rod on the ground, picked it up, and hit Bernard.Bernard's reaction was fairly quick. After dodging his son's attack, he snatched the iron rod.Then he raised the iron rod and beat Elijah right on his head. "The world has gone mad, the son beats the father! if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who I am!"Elijah was knocked down to the ground, curled up with his head in his arms.Sonnet quickly ran over to stop Bernard but was forcefully thrown by Bernard and fell to the ground."You want him to donate bone marrow, right? I'll beat him to death today so that you can't get your bone marrow!" Bernard said, waving at Elijah with a stick more vigorously.“Bang!” The metal rod landed on Elijah's head once more.Elijah, who was originally curled up, twitched, and s
Bernard was arrested, but this cannot change the fact that Elijah died.Sonnet took Jaybie to Elijah's funeral, and Esther cried the whole time as if she had aged ten years overnight.Sonnet felt very sad and blamed herself. ‘If it wasn't for the bone marrow donation, maybe Elijah wouldn't have died.’After returning from North City, Sonnet was in deep distraught.At night, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.Maxwell went to bed early, muttered a few words, then sat up with a yell, panting heavily.Sonnet got up quickly, stroked his back, and asked, "Maxwell, what's wrong?"Maxwell’s face was bitter. "I saw something terrible.""Are you having a nightmare?" Sonnet asked softly.Suddenly, Maxwell hugged her. "He's dead!""Who died?" Sonnet asked in surprise."Little Greg.""Who is Little Greg?""We go to school together every day."Sonnet thought, ‘Probably Maxwell's childhood classmate.’"I saw his face covered in blood, walking on the road, and calling
The distress Maxwell felt as he watched her frown from her worries was a no-brainer. He also knew what happened before, so he knew that she must be blaming herself for this.However, he could not comfort her like a normal person, so he had to come up with the method just now, pretending to have a nightmare and letting her comfort to enlighten herself with a new perspective.‘I really had a tacit understanding with Darling Wifey, she found relief from a new perspective as expected.’Her kindness, strength, and intelligence filled his heart with love. He could not help lowering his head, and cautiously yet lovingly kissed her on the cheek.Then he lay down again, hugged her, closed his eyes, and fell asleep peacefully...——After Elijah passed away, Jaybie's hope of life was shattered again.Sonnet once again entered a prolonged wait.In Harrison Estate that day, Lindy sighed. "Jaybie had to go through so many twists and turns. Other people can easily find a match for their bone
"I've also investigated this; his hometown is a county under Wind City. Tami traveled to Wind City for a vacation, and she probably met him in the countryside. I'm just surprised. Tami is a classic upper-class lady, beautiful, elegant, and talented. Meanwhile, Samuel is average-looking, not highly educated, and has nothing special about him, so why did Tami fall in love with him?""Then, according to this, Samuel is not Kenji?" Sonnet sighed.Lindy put her arms around Sonnet’s shoulders. "At present, the two people have nothing to do with each other except that they look alike. Maybe... they really just look alike..."——About a week after the investigation, Sonnet met Izzy's mother, Tami.She looked about twenty-five or six years old. She wore a shift dress, her hair coiled up, highlighting her delicate face, exuding a kind of classical beauty all over.At this time, she finally believed Lindy's words.Compared with Tami, Samuel differed too much in appearance and temperament,
"Wifey is here, yes I can!" He replied without thinking.Sonnet did not say anything.She was a little hesitant, subconsciously not wanting to disclose her husband to the public."Wifey don’t want to take me there," Maxwell saw Sonnet's hesitation, and his handsome face immediately collapsed, "Wifey dislike me..."As he spoke, he turned his back to her and stood at the window in great disappointment.Seeing his lonely back, Sonnet's heart softened.‘Selfish.’ She secretly scolded herself. ‘Before, I was thinking of introducing him to her father, but now I don’t even dare to take him out.‘Enjoying all the comforts he provided, but not even taking him out, I’m being too mean.‘Now that my life has temporarily stabilized, and my father's health is much better, it's time to make our relationship public. Let's start with this music concert!’After she made up her mind, she walked over and put her arm over his shoulder.He stiffened his back and refused to turn around.Sonnet h
