Romelius went home to handle Joyce's matters, so Lana stayed behind to look after Mandy.Since her emotions were still unstable, Romelius and Lana discussed it and decided to ask the doctor to perform the surgery earlier.Mandy felt sorry for Liam, who had also stayed behind to look after her."Lee, you should go back. I'm fine with just Lana accompanying me."Liam, who had already settled in, responded righteously, "Wherever my wife goes, I go!"Lana was at a loss for words.How could Liam be so shameless in his sweet-talking?Mandy had never been able to control him, so she could only let him be.However, she was still a little worried about Lana and Liam's relationship.Mandy and Darla were best friends, and Lana was her daughter. However, Liam and Darla were siblings.Mandy couldn't help but smile when she thought about Darla and her becoming a family through Lana and Liam.As soon as dawn broke, Romelius returned to the hospital.He looked haggard, with dark circles un
30 minutes later, Mandy stood firm, refusing to compromise any further. "Lee, I don't want to drink more water. And Xander, I don't want any more toast." In the past half hour, Mandy had eaten nine slices of toast, drunk seven cups of water, and two cups of almond milk. She felt that if this continued, her stomach might explode. Lana heard the commotion and walked over from the small dining table. Seeing Mandy's troubled expression as she repeatedly rubbed her stomach, Lana couldn't help but inquire, "What have you done to my mom?" Both Liam and Xander fell silent. They realized they were done this time. They had intended to make a good impression in front of their future mother-in-law, but things had gone awry, and she appeared even more uncomfortable!"Mom, are you alright?" Lana rushed to Mandy's side and held her hand while checking her pulse. Worried that Lana was getting too anxious, Mandy quickly reassured her, saying, "Lana, I'm fine. I just ate too much." Up
Lana walked Xander to his car in the hospital's underground parking lot. Just as Xander was about to get in, he suddenly remembered something. So, he said, "By the way, the reality show we're participating in is scheduled to start filming next month. "I checked the dates, and with your recent transplant surgery, I'm concerned about how your body will cope. How about I ask them to postpone it? I think it would be easier coming from me." Realizing that Xander was concerned about her health, Lana laughed joyfully. "There's no need for that. I know my body well. By then, I'll be as fit as a fiddle again."When it came to reality shows, everyone had to sign contracts, and there were penalties for delays or breaches. The thrifty Lana would never agree to that! Xander couldn't convince her, so he could only remind her, "Take good care of yourself during this period. I'll visit again on Mands' surgery day." Lana nodded and hummed in acknowledgment. After seeing off Xander, as Lana
The villa owned by the Watson family was given to Marion by her father before she got married. People often said that once a woman was married, she lost her own say. Her in-laws would treat her like an outsider, and even her own family might do the same. Marion's father was unwilling to see his beloved daughter in such a predicament. He worried that if Marion and Devon ever had disagreements in the future, she wouldn't even have a place to stand. Hence, he gave her this villa, which he cherished the most during his lifetime. In fact, Marion considered this place as the one where she could do whatever she wanted. After Lana saved her from a near miscarriage last time, Marion hadn't returned to Quinn Residence. Especially after seeing Rosa's fake façade, Marion chose to distance herself from the Quinn family for her own sake and the sake of her baby. Unfortunately, while Marion was enjoying afternoon tea and basking in the sun in her backyard that afternoon, a servant came to
Marion fainted, and the most anxious person was undoubtedly Priscilla. She shouted, "Quick. Call an ambulance, and get Devon back soon." As Priscilla and the servants were in a state of panic, Rosa on the side stayed cool and composed. No one realized that she was smiling as she observed Marion, whose face had turned pale. It took quite some time before Rosa dramatically ran to Marion, wailing and sobbing loudly. "Aunt Marion, are you alright? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought up the past at a time like this." She continued, "Aunt Marion, please wake up! You and the baby must be safe. Otherwise, I'll be the eternal sinner of the Quinn family. Aunt Marion, why aren't you waking up? If something happens to you, I can only atone with my life." Just as she finished speaking, Rosa grabbed a fruit knife from the coffee table and was about to cut her own wrist. Witnessing the scene, Priscilla was so scared that she couldn't even make a sound. She rushed forward and bumped
After receiving Devon's call, Lana wasted no time and swiftly arrived at the hospital where Marion was. This move surprised Devon immensely. He exclaimed, "I thought you wouldn't come!" "It's not like you're the one in conflict with me. Why wouldn't I come?" Lana replied as they walked, and her speech was faster than usual. In the midst of the conversation, both of them arrived at the ward where Marion was.Marion's complexion was pale as she slept, and there was an IV drip attached to her hand. Lana took a look at it and found that it was just a standard saline solution. Perhaps they believed that the baby in Marion's belly was beyond saving, so the hospital resorted to the most basic conservative treatment. After a brief examination, Lana retrieved her acupuncture tools and silently began the treatment. With the experience from the last time, Devon dared not even breathe as he watched. As Lana inserted the last needle, Devon noticed once again that she was drenched i
There were no secrets that time would not reveal. Despite the Quinn family's efforts to suppress the matter involving Joyce, some details have still been leaked. Somehow, even the fact that Romelius transferred a significant portion of his pre-marital assets to Lana became known.When Joyce encountered trouble, many assumed it was related to Romelius' long-standing affection for Mandy. Even Rosa fell out of favor with her father. Consequently, many people believed that Joyce's situation was irreversible. Many socialites and noblewomen who were once close to Joyce kept silent, wishing they had never known her. They lived in constant fear, afraid of being implicated by Joyce and earning the resentment of the Quinn family.Even Andrew shared this sentiment. He thought that, since Carol and Rosa were close, Carol would likely be affected now that Rosa and her mother had become the least favored individuals in the Quinn family. This made Andrew anxious about his chances of meeting the
Carol felt that if she didn't bring up the matter of meeting Devon now, she might not have another chance in the future. So, without hesitation, she immediately asked Rosa, "Rosa, Mr. Turner wants to meet the president, do you think ..."However, before Carol could finish her sentence, Rosa interrupted her. "Carol, I never get involved in my uncle's affairs. I'm sorry!"This was what Rosa was like. Although she enjoyed flaunting her superiority over others, she wouldn't go out of her way to do favors for others. That was why, over the years, many people surrounded her, but few would maintain a lasting friendship with her."Alright then."Initially, Carol had intended to get up and leave, no longer wasting words with Rosa. However, thinking that she might still be able to use Rosa's status for her own purposes, she stayed for another half an hour before finally leaving.Carol didn't expect Rosa's refusal to be so thorough. She felt like she had wasted her enthusiasm during this per
