“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
“Hmph.” Harlow looked at Nathan’s strategies and tactics with contempt. It looked like what women would do. But he had to admit... If Jeffrey really did become the Romeros’ son-in-law, his supporters would include Morgan Group. That would almost guarantee his victory. “Is that your only worth to me? Helping Luis to get a son-in-law?” Harlow questioned Nathan. Nathan had already prepared the answer. “I wonder if you’ve heard of this organization called ‘Tempest’?” “The intelligence agency?” Harlow’s eyes lit up. The Tempest’s reputation was well known internationally, and they had top assassins among their numbers. But they had been quite mysterious all these years. No one knew who they belonged to. “My father left them for me. Otherwise, how could I know secrets that even Joseph doesn’t know? If we partner up, ‘Tempest’ will be yours to command,” Nathan said with a smile. Harlow narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect the Quinns to be the leaders of Tempest! “You’re so di
It was time to show off her acting skills! When Jane saw how saddened Melanie was and how overwhelmed Jeffrey was, she thought that they had fallen for it and immediately tried to make things worse. “Please listen to me, Miss Melanie! Mr. Morgan wasn’t fully awake earlier. That’s why this happened between us. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about this...” “Scram!” Jeffrey stared at Jane. The fury in his eyes was reaching a boiling point. Jane instantly wept. “Jeffrey Morgan... I never thought that you're someone this irresponsible! I’m trying to explain things to you, but you’re trying to get rid of me. You’re afraid that she will see us, right? But she has already seen it! What’s the point of getting rid of me?!” Jeffrey’s anger exploded as he turned around and grabbed the mobile on the desk before dialing a number and giving orders to the person on the other end. “Get someone in here and drag this madwoman out of my room!” When Jane saw that Jeffrey was doing this for
Jane saw that he looked extremely cruel, and was even scarier than Luis and Nathan. With a mumble, she said, “I simply took a picture while posing with him. Jeffrey’s injured... So, I can’t really...”“And you cared about him?!” Harlow gave her a mocking stare.“Is Jeffrey’s wound quite bad?”Nathan asked, “Morgan Group had hidden the news of him getting injured, and despite all my men in the Yorks, they didn’t get any pictures of his injury.”“If you ask me... It’s quite severe...” Jane answered carefully.“Did you get a picture of his injury?” Luis asked.Jane nodded. “I did. I took it all.”“Very good. You performed admirably well. You’ll be rewarded.” Nathan smiled.“Not only will we be able to make Jeffrey leave Melanie, but we can also make the pictures of his injuries publicly available. Jeffrey’s public image had always been a cripple in a wheelchair. Now that he’s injured again, the Morgan Group’s shares will be affected. Harlow, we need to take advantage of this and the Morga
