She was... She was still stuck with William all this while... “Mom... I’ve been trying to tell you that... William and I... We’re... Not... Anymore...” She wanted to explain that there had been nothing between her and William. But after giving it a thought, she said, “There’s been nothing between us for a long time.” “Really?” Eliza was shocked. “Then, your separation...?” “I got to know another man after that, but it’s in the past now, too... Mom, I’ll tell you all about it eventually, alright?” Melanie said. “Huh? Sure, sure.” Only then did Eliza agree to it while still baffled. After seeing Melanie leaving in her car, she shook her head and sighed. After her daughter had grown up, she also had a lot of complications. Meanwhile, Melanie could only shake her head with a bitter smile when she was in the car. She felt like she was on a rollercoaster just now... She wouldn’t have known what her mom knew if she didn’t test her, and she couldn’t help but heave a sigh
Gemma used this chance to rile up the atmosphere as her eyes moved to Grant, who was sitting in the corner.“Stop it.”Melanie smiled at Gemma and waved her hands, preparing to leave the stage.“Wait!”Suddenly, Grant got up from the corner and yelled, “Don’t leave just yet! I haven’t confessed my love for you yet!”As he said that, Grant had already walked over to the stage and stood in front of her.“Wow!”The people under the stage all cheered, not stopping even after a long time.“Gemma is just messing around. Are you going to mess around too?” Melanie said helplessly.However, Grant stood there with a serious expression on his face, “If she didn’t mess around, I would never know when I would have the bravery to confess my love to you.”“Together! Together!”The people off the stage cheered even louder.“You never told me before this that you’re in a relationship,” Grant said sincerely. “I don’t care who you loved in the past. All I want is for you give me a chance...”
When William and the driver, who were further away, heard Melanie screaming from inside the car, they immediately realized something was wrong and ran back to the car. “Madam? What’s wrong with the boss?” they instinctively asked. Melanie helped Jeffrey to sit on the seat as comfortably as possible. She wasn’t going to answer stupid questions. Instead, she looked around and asked, “Where’s the nearest hospital?” Before William could answer, Jeffrey immediately said in a coarse voice, “Go to a Morgan Group’s hospital.” Melanie glared at him. But seeing the seriousness in his eyes, she knew that his injury was a secret, and it needed to be kept a secret. Morgan Group was huge. As the leader of Morgan Group, he couldn’t let anything happen to him. If the outside world knew about his injury and spread the negative news, it would affect Morgan Group as a whole. Melanie knew about his worries, so she ordered the driver, “Go to the nearest hospital owned by the company!” “Unders
“Madam! Madam!” Melanie’s vision turned dark. Luckily, the moment she fell, William managed to react quickly and ran over to hold her. “Doctor!” William cried. Only then did the medical staff realize that Melanie had fainted and came to help her. “Melanie!” Jeffrey’s eyes instantly turned red as he struggled to get up from the bed, but two doctors held him back. “Sir! The madam merely fainted because of fatigue and worry. She’ll be fine. We’ll immediately arrange for her to get some rest in a nearby ward. But you can’t have anything happen to you anymore.” “She’s pregnant!” Jeffrey screamed with his eyes scarlet red. “She’s...” “Yes, don’t worry. We’ll guarantee her and the baby’s safety!” All the doctors guaranteed it together. “Sir, the only reason she fainted is because she was worried about you. If you care about her, then please take care of yourself first.” William agreed as he stood close by. Very quickly, the nurses pushed out another gurney. Under Jeffrey
“If purely from a doctor’s perspective, my recommendation is to not have any babies. Forever.” The doctor then said in a neutral tone, “But she’s already pregnant now. That’s all... up to you.” Melanie clenched her fists tightly, her heart thumping. She had already made all the necessary preparations. As soon as Jeffrey said he wanted her to abort the baby, she would escape! She would escape far away... Even if she had to change her whole identity, she would never let him find her! The office was very quiet, so quiet that the silence in the corridor made her own irregular heartbeat deafening. She finally heard Jeffrey’s voice a long while later saying... “That’s her child. Her opinion on this is the most important.” Melanie’s grip instantly loosened. She didn’t hear it wrongly, right? “Mr. Jeffrey, our families have been acquainted for a very long time. Please allow me to be straight with you. I know that her heart once belonged to Emma, and she donated it to her. If she
Melanie wiped her tears away and said, “I have a few questions that I want to ask you.” “Say it.” Jeffrey sternly looked at the woman that was being serious. As long as she wasn’t asking for a divorce, he would do whatever she wanted. “When did you find out I’m pregnant?” she asked. Jeffrey stopped, frowning. So, she heard it... “After you received your report,” he answered honestly. “But I thought the Snows’ private investigators...” “They secretly changed the result of your report and even dealt with the doctor. However, that was because I made them believe that they succeeded,” Jeffrey said. Melanie rolled her eyes. He was truly quite tyrannical. That was why Jeffrey kept on shadowing her after she joined the York family’s party, always within a certain distance. It was all to protect her. “I see.” Melanie nodded and took the handkerchief that Jeffrey gave her, wiping her tears away. Then she said, “I’ll give you a chance to confess everything. From the beginni
“Because someone told me that Emma didn’t die of natural causes back then. That she could still be saved when she reached the hospital. When your father realized she was a match with you, he pronounced her brain dead and, before her family could get there, used the reason that she had already signed up for organ donation while she was alive to transfer her heart to you without consent.” “How’s that possible?!” Melanie sat up, angered. “My dad’s not someone like that!” “Everyone who was part of that surgery has either died or left. I’ve spent a long time investigating it and I’ve found some clues, but not enough to reach a conclusion.” Jeffrey put his arm around her shoulders and consoled her, but he forgot he was injured, and he instinctively frowned when his action caused him to tug at his wound. Melanie then lied down together with him. “You don’t believe me?” “I trusted the person who told me this too much all those years ago. But I’m now restarting the investigation. It
By the time Melanie reached Annie’s apartment from the hospital, she was fully engrossed in everything that was happening in the ice-cold monitor, refusing to eat or drink. “Hey, you’re pushing yourself too hard, aren’t you?” Annie shook her head helplessly. “What can he do when he knows that you’ll be watching his every move? Come on, drink this orange juice.” Melanie took the glass of orange juice and sipped it mechanically. She had seen Jane have dinner with Jeffrey in the ward. Night had descended. Jeffrey said he was getting tired. He lied on the bed while Jane handed him a wet towel to wipe his face. Jeffrey frowned but didn’t refuse. “He didn’t refuse it!” Melanie gritted her teeth. “Please. Didn’t you personally tell me that you allowed that woman to do anything she wanted to Jeffrey?” Annie gave her a snicker. “Is wiping his face that bad?” Melanie bit her lips. “She’s doing more than wiping his face.” “What else was she wiping?” Annie instantly became inte
