“What?” Tamara couldn’t believe her ears and gawked at Anthony in disbelief.Not only her, but Old Mrs. Moore, Jonathan, Cheryl, and even Margot all widened their eyes at the news.“What did you say, Anthony?” Margot stalked closer to Anthony.Anthony pursed his lips and swallowed hard before repeating, “Miss Melly has leukemia.”Tamara’s slim figure stumbled backward, and she almost fell over.Margot caught her. “Calm down, Tammy. Maybe this is…”Even the witty Margot was at a loss for words. She didn’t know what to say to comfort Tamara.Anthony never lied.A young and cute girl like Melanie had leukemia?How was anyone supposed to accept this news?Tears slid down Tamara’s cheeks as she grabbed Margot’s hands. “How could this be? Melly is still so young. Why would she have leukemia?”Margot tried to speak up, but no words came to mind.Jonathan was pissed. “I’ll go and get the girl back right this instant! That asshole Elijah! How dare he do this to a child?”Then, Jona
“Bring us there now,” said Tamara to Anthony.Anthony nodded and led them out.Tamara observed Anthony’s muscular frame and had a weird feeling about him, but she didn’t have time to ponder over it. Her mind was occupied with the news of Melly’s sickness.At the hospital that was under Morrison Corporation, Tamara and the others got out of the car and headed straight for Melanie’s ward.However, when they arrived at the elevator, they saw two bodyguards standing guard there.When the guards saw them, they exchanged looks. One of them came forward to stop them while the other made a phone call.“You can’t go in there,” the guard said, stopping them.“I’m here for my daughter. Who are you to stop me?” Tamara’s beautiful face was icy-cold. She stomped on the guard’s foot.Tamara was wearing sharp heels, so when she stomped down, the guard’s face immediately twisted in pain.Tamara cruelly retracted her gaze and turned to Anthony. “Which ward is she in?”“The one at the end of th
Elijah’s expression hardened at this. He even had the urge to call for his bodyguards and throw Jonathan out!Jonathan chuckled darkly. “I know how deep your hatred runs, Elijah. But you shouldn’t have brought the innocent child into this mess. You almost killed Tammy. Are you planning to try the same moves on Tammy’s children too?”Elijah’s face darkened. “I didn’t expect the child to come down with leukemia. I’ve searched everywhere for a suitable donor, but as of now, we still haven’t found one.”Tamara immediately chirped, “I’ll do it! I’m her mother! I’m sure I’ll be a suitable candidate!”Elijah snorted coldly. “If I want to, I can have you dead before you can leave the hospital.”Tamara stomped her feet. “What the hell do you want exactly?”“It’s still the same deal. Leave the Moore family. Then, we’ll talk,” said Elijah.“Don’t even think about it!” Jonathan cut Elijah off. “Even if Tamara leaves us, she’s still part of the family. If you hurt her, the entire Moore famil
Tamara’s hands curled into a fist. She recalled Melanie’s condition and shut her eyes. In the end, she agreed.All of a sudden, the door flung open and Margot rushed in. She grabbed Tamara’s hand. “You don’t have to agree to him, Tammy! Someone’s here to help us!”Tamara was stunned. “What did you say?”Margot smiled brightly at her. “Why should you agree to his shameless terms? You not only have the Moore family backing you but also the Custry family!” Then, Margot pulled Tamara out of the room and they practically ran downstairs.When they came out from the stairway, they saw that the entire floor was in a mess. Some bodyguards had apprehended the previous bodyguards. A lean and tall man stood in front of Melanie’s ward and was looking inside.Not long after, a few doctors came out from the ward. One of the doctors was carrying Melanie!“Melly!” Tamara choked as she rushed over.Melanie was awake. She was scared when she saw the group of strangers, but upon hearing the famil
The outside of the hospital was not as safe as Jeremiah made it out to be.The people from the Morrison family had arrived. Both they and the Custry family’s bodyguards were at a standstill. Jeremiah had exited the building as well. When he saw the scene, his eyebrow quirked up. “That old man sure acts fast.”Tamara paused. She knew Jeremiah was referring to Elijah.“It seems we won’t be able to leave,” muttered Tamara softly.Jeremiah heard how soft her voice was. It reminded him of a sweet melody that was pleasing to the ear. Her voice alone was enough to melt his heart.“You have a nice voice, my dear sister-in-law.” Jeremiah smirked devilishly.Tamara’s beautiful eyebrows knitted together as she created some distance between them.“Put the child down, Tamara!” Elijah had arrived at the scene as well. He gave Tamara a dark look before turning to Jeremiah. “This is between the Morrison family and the Moore family. The Custry family should mind their own fucking business!”“
Tamara was reluctant to part ways with Melanie. However, Elijah was threatening to take her life even if it meant causing him his own. He would even go as far as to hurt Melanie.Tamara couldn't sit by and watch as Melanie got hurt. She had to ensure Melanie's safety.Tamara composed herself and started walking over to Elijah with Melanie in her arms."Tammy!""Don't go over, Tammy!" yelled Jonathan and Joseph at the same time. They were like cats on hot bricks, and their hatred for Elijah only grew.Elijah smiled victoriously. "Once I bring Melly to a safe space, I'll send someone to bring you over. Then, we'll run some tests to determine your compatibility. If you're a suitable candidate, you can donate your bone marrow to Melly. But if you aren't, then you can just fuck off to hell. Doesn't that sound great?""Not at all!" Tamara stared coldly at Elijah. "I despise you, Elijah. I hope you burn in hell!"Elijah laughed in her face. "Once all of you die, I’ll have no regrets le
The doctor had never been in this predicament before.The three parties crowded in front of the hospital, and their gazes landed on the doctor.The doctor grew paler, and their body started trembling."Sir, I secretly took some of your blood and ran some tests on it with Miss Melly's. And you're compatible. And…And Mr. Custody told me to do a DNA test on you and Miss Melly. The report shows that you're related. Miss Melly is…your g-granddaughter!" stuttered the doctor. They trembled under the dark look Elijah was giving them.As they said that, the crowd fell silent. It was as if time had stopped."What the hell are you talking about? How could Melly be that bastard's granddaughter? Then wouldn't that make Tammy…" Jonathan was the first one to break the silence.He shot the doctor a glare and stepped forward to kick them.The doctor fell to the floor in pain. "I'm not lying. Here’s the report…"The doctor shakily took out the paternity report and handed it over to Jonathan."D
Tamara turned to Sebastian.Sebastian had turned to her too.When their eyes met, Sebastian’s dark eyes softened as his lips curled upward playfully. He stalked closer.But Tamara pursed her lips and moved away.“Tammy!” When Sebastian saw her leaving, he hurried forward.Joseph stopped him. “Tammy doesn’t want to meet you. It’s best if you leave her be.”Sebastian’s face fell, and he gave Joseph a cold glare. “Get the fuck out of my way!”Joseph snorted. “What strong words, Mr. Custry. And if I don’t? Will you ask your men to remove me?”Sebastian’s face darkened. He looked past Joseph and saw Tammy getting into the car.The atmosphere grew tense.Joseph was actually scared shitless. Sebastian was a powerful person, after all. One glance from him and Joseph immediately felt like he had lost.But Joseph wouldn’t back down!If Tammy were to reconcile with Sebastian in the future, Joseph would be Sebastian’s brother-in-law!Joseph had to show Sebastian who was the boss!Jer
The bed was also adorned in striking white. Margot's bridal gown gradually slipped off, and her hair spread out behind her on the bed. Her smooth skin shone beneath the dazzling light.Benjamin stared at her. "Margot, you have to spend the rest of your life making up for your lies.""Okay," Margot agreed without hesitation.The temperature in the room rose, and the night had just begun.It was as Tamara said. Because of their tragic past, the heavens decided to bless them in this life. They lived happily ever after from that day onward.Benjamin successfully inherited the Inkling Corporation. A year later, Margot gave birth to a daughter. She resembled Benjamin and was as beautiful as a doll.Their little girl grew up in a loving family, and the love between Margot and Benjamin only grew with time. They developed Nammu Bay, transforming it into a popular tourist destination.Another year passed, and Tamara and Sebastian got married. The wedding was almost identical to the one fr
The newlywed walked into the wedding hall hand in hand.The wedding hall was also well-decorated. Shane, Trevor, Jacob, and Alex sat in the front row.The host congratulated the couple, and after the couple exchanged rings, the crowd erupted in cheers. The wedding went past quickly. And when Margot was led to her bridal room, she was still very much in a daze.Because of Margot's condition, she had to leave early and let Benjamin deal with the guests alone.As time passed, Margot grew more and more anxious. But she didn't dare move a muscle. Benjamin had told her to keep the veil on and wait for him.Margot had never been this obedient before. But she had no choice. Disobeying wouldn't do. What if her husband ran away?Just then, the door opened. Margot's heart tightened, and she immediately went tense in anticipation.A faint stench of alcohol wafted over, and she saw his shoes from under the veil.He was standing before her but made no move to greet her.Margot couldn't help
When the others saw Benjamin standing still in a daze, they all asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why did he stop?""What is he thinking about?""Did he lose his mind because he was too excited to meet his bride?"Someone made a joke, and others burst into laughter.Downstairs, Sebastian exchanged looks with Tamara, who was upstairs. His gaze returned to Benjamin.The wedding had been going on smoothly. But it seemed that Benjamin's memories might be their biggest challenge.Now that Benjamin had recovered his memories, what would he do next?However, Benjamin quickly came back to his senses. He walked forward calmly until he reached the door. As his gaze swept over Tamara and Natasha, a small smile appeared on his face.Tamara piped up, "Mr. Inkling, Nat and I had planned to set up some challenges for you. However, considering the hardships you and Margot have gone through, those challenges seem trivial in front of you. So, I thought, why not give you a clear path that led
"Shit! Isn't that too ruthless?""Leave it to the four Moore brothers to pull this trick!""Stop standing around and start drinking!"Benjamin watched on without any change in expression. He turned to the last row of men and smiled. "I'll leave the first round to you."Those men were all eager to try. They rolled up their sleeves and loosened their ties, their eyes gleaming with excitement.Benjamin made room for them, and they eagerly stepped forward. They picked up the glasses and downed them in one gulp."Let's go!" The cheers that erupted motivated them further. But despite their fierce drinking, they were no match for the abundant alcohol. When they looked up, they found that they were only halfway through. Some of them were already feeling tipsy!Sunlight spilled onto the drinks. A gentle breeze caused ripples on the liquid, resembling scattered stars.The men noticed the entrance was within arm's reach, and they gritted their teeth to endure the torture.Harris was th
The morning sunlight bathed the earth, casting a brilliant glow on every corner of Simmons Residence. Everyone's faces were filled with smiles. In the room, the styling team was already in position. They first helped Margot into the wedding gown and began styling her hair.Although Margot never decided on her bridal makeup, she did try each style. To surprise her, Benjamin accompanied her to try out the bridal makeup but kept the final choice from her.Now, dressed in the beautiful wedding gown, Margot remembered the makeup styles she had tried before, and a smile graced her face. Tamara and Natasha also changed into their bridesmaid dresses. The makeup artist was working on them when Alex walked in with a gentle smile. "Have you done your preparation for the challenges?"Tamara gave a thumbs up. "Don't worry, Mom. I won't let them take your daughter away easily."Alex giggled. "That won't do. We have to see if Margot agrees."Margot immediately exclaimed, "I'm all in favor!"
"You're right!" Tamara exclaimed, and the three women chatted for a while before gradually falling asleep.In the Inkling Manor, lights were on, and a festive atmosphere filled every corner. Wealthy young men who knew Benjamin gathered there, celebrating the night.A few people sat on the couch by the pool. There were various drinks on the table. Jack picked up a bottle and praised, "This is a good wine. It's at least 30 years old! You're going all out, Mr. Inkling."Benjamin's face carried a contented smile. "It's my big day, so let's all have a good time together."Jack gave him a thumbs up. "You're very generous, Mr. Inkling."The others laughed along.Benjamin turned to Sebastian and suddenly smiled. "Why are you so calm? When we go over tomorrow, I wonder what challenges Tamara has for you."Sebastian calmly muttered, "She'll only cause trouble for you."Benjamin cocked an eyebrow. "You're quite confident. I can't wait to see you eat your words tomorrow."Sebastian shrugg
Margot responded, "Yes, but I believe he will recover his memory soon."Joseph chuckled. "It doesn't matter if he does recover his memory. He loves you either way."A sweet smile appeared on Margot's face.He was right. Benjamin loved her with or without his memories. Nothing could ever change that.Joseph gazed at Margot for a while before shifting his gaze away. He turned to the night sky outside. "It seems that tonight will be a special one."Margot looked at him. "Do you have any plans for the future, Joseph?"Joseph smiled. "I will work for Moore Corporation. After all, I'm the only one in our family who studied business."Margot's eyes flickered. Joseph's life was still the same as in her past life. He would still manage Moore Corporation while the other brothers shine in their respective fields."That's great! I'll have a powerful backer now. I can just mention your name if someone bullies me. As the cousin of the Moore Corporation's president, no one would dare lay thei
Margot reached out to touch the wedding gown, feeling the expensive fabric. Every stitch and thread carried Benjamin's love for her. She looked up at Tamara. "I'm scared, Tammy."Tamara seemed to know what she was afraid of and hugged her close. "Don't be. This is real. It's really happening.Tears welled up in Margot's eyes. Tamara understood her the best. She feared this was just a dream, an illusion she would wake up from. There was no rebirth, cat-and-mouse games, or Nammu Bay destruction. Everything was just a trick her mind had made up.After all this time, Margot finally felt fear.She held onto Tamara tightly. Even when tears streamed down, Margot didn't dare to blink, afraid that she would return to a cold room if she did, a world without him.Tamara gently stroked her back. "Hold me tight, Margot. I'm real. You've felt the wedding dress. That's real, too. Nothing is an illusion. It was all real."Margot finally calmed down. She suddenly felt embarrassed. "Sorry about
"I do! I do want to be your daughter," Margot hurriedly exclaimed. She looked flustered. "I was just a bit overwhelmed. I never expected this. Aunt Alex, I …"Tamara laughed. "Since you're now her daughter, why aren't you referring to her as your mom?"Margot felt even more embarrassed!She grew up in an orphanage and had little concept of parental love. Although she had fantasized about having a mother like Tamara's, it was just a dream. She didn't have a mother. That was why she felt close to Alex. With Alex officially adopting Margot as her daughter, Margot gained a mother from that point onward.Margot's eyes watered. No matter how hard she tried to hold it in, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.Seeing this, Alex quickly took out tissues to wipe them away. "Don't cry. You'll get wrinkles if you cry."But the comforting words only made it worse.Margot threw herself into Alex's arms.Alex comforted Margot patiently, her eyes also glossing over.However, Jacob fr
