Tyler brought Jean to Aquaria Villa.Jean's expression changed when she saw the familiar surroundings.She had stayed here for several days before this. She didn't think Tyler would bring her here.She was baffled as she looked at him. She asked in a low voice, "Why did you bring me here?"Returning her gaze, he said calmly, "There may be reporters waiting near where you live. Also, they'll do anything to get an exclusive. Are you sure you can cope?"Jean felt a flicker of gratitude after listening to his explanation.What he said didn't cross her mind. She said appreciatively, "Thanks."Tyler took a deep breath when he heard her thank him. He gazed at her. "There's no need to be so distant," he said impassively.Pressing her lips together, Jean calmly replied, "It doesn't hurt to keep a proper distance. I don't want to owe you too many favors."Tyler turned gloomy when she said that looking so resolute. Seeing how she was keeping him at arm's length, his tone grew cold. "Well
Mrs. Vale nodded and smiled sheepishly. "You're the most casual lady of the house I've ever seen."Upon hearing that, Jean's expression shifted. She calmly said, "I'm not the lady of the house. I'm only staying here temporarily."Mrs. Vale smiled. She gently said, "Ms. Michaels, you must've quarreled with sir."Jean frowned. Noticing that, Mrs. Vale immediately pressed her lips together. She dared not say more about that topic. Instead, she said, "I'll get dinner ready."Nodding, Jean's gaze followed Mrs. Vale as she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner. She gathered her thoughts. She thought Mrs. Vale seemed peculiar. It was as though she was trying very hard to please Jean.But she considered it was common for an employee to try to please the employer. So, she let the thought slide.Dinner was ready an hour later. Mrs. Vale came to call Jean to the dining room for her meal.As Jean sat at the dining table, she saw Mrs. Vale standing at one side. She said, "Mrs. Vale, only t
Jean hurried in with Dorian. She felt a flicker of suspicion when she saw Mrs. Vale panicking.But she didn't have the leisure to care about that. She strode out of the villa.Dorian called out, "Mr. Anders, Mr. Anders, are you feeling sick?Albert saw Jean and Dorian approach him, but he was in too much pain to speak.Tyler immediately started the car and drove him to the hospital.Upon reaching the hospital, Albert was sent to the emergency department.Jean and Dorian waited anxiously.After half an hour, the doctor walked out. "The patient may have eaten something bad. Plus, he's an elderly, so the spicy food he ate may have been the cause. I suggest he eat milder food after this."Jean felt guilty when she heard that.If she hadn't persuaded Albert to join them for lunch, he wouldn't have ended up in this state.Soon, Albert was released from the emergency department. He looked much better.Jean immediately went to him, looking very guilty. "I'm sorry … Mr. Anders."Upo
Jean wanted to hire a housekeeper to take care of Dorian.Mrs. Vale contacted her after seeing the vacancy notice. Then, she also applied for the job Tyler offered. She was obviously here for Jean.Tyler gazed at Jean, feeling a dull ache in his heart. He looked even more guilty as he said sullenly, "I promised I wouldn't let anyone harm you. I seem to have failed to keep my promise again."He felt very downcast. This situation made him feel helpless.As it was, there was no way they could save the fetus in Jean's womb.There was no telling when the fetus would lose all signs of life.Jean had to receive treatment too. The doctor suggested that she undergo blood purification treatment.However, Jean's blood type was rare, and they didn't have many units of that blood type in the blood bank. So, they had to contact blood donors.Tyler knew how to resolve this issue. However, they still didn't know who gave those instructions to Mrs. Vale. Jean was worried that the mastermind was
Tyler nodded firmly. He walked to Dorian, stroked his hair, and said in a low voice, "I couldn't protect your younger sibling. Now, I'll make sure to protect your mother."He was also disheartened that they couldn't save the baby.But Jean was risking herself for this. He couldn't just stand and watch.Dorian nodded despite not fully understanding. "Go now, Dad."Albert's expression turned grim after listening to Tyler.He knew something was wrong when Dorian started vomiting.But learning of Jean's pregnancy came as a total surprise.That baby couldn't be saved now it was affected by the poison.If not, it was only a matter of time before Jean and Tyler made peace.It would be harder for them to reconcile now that the baby was gone.After leaving the hospital, Jean finally dropped her impassive expression.After all, she was the mother of the baby. She would surely feel emotional about it.She must have gotten pregnant that last time.Her period had always been inconsiste
Mrs. Vale sat beside Jean. She kept scooping up more food as though to prove that nothing was wrong with the food she cooked.Jean watched her emotionlessly before withdrawing her gaze. "I really don't have an appetite. I'll go to my room."After saying that, she got up and went upstairs.Tyler scarcely ate anything. When she left, he rose from his seat. "Are you feeling unwell?" he asked.Jean didn't answer him.Mrs. Vale sat alone in the dining hall. She heaved a sigh of relief when they left one after another. She started tidying up after finishing a portion of the dishes.At night, Mrs. Vale prepared supper solely for Jean.She brought the food to Jean's room and knocked on the door. "Madam, do you want some supper? I made you some sandwiches. How can you eat nothing at all when you're in early pregnancy?"Jean arched an eyebrow when she heard Mrs. Vale's words. She opened the door after getting up and took the plate from her. "Thank you, Mrs. Vale. You can go on with your
Mrs. Vale panicked when she saw Tyler carry Jean downstairs.But the person who contacted her said she should stay cool. She should never give herself away now, so she could only force herself to calm down.Chris came down later.Mrs. Vale took a deep breath, trying her best to control her emotions. She should look worried but not anxious. "Mister, what happened to Madam? Is she sick?"She looked innocent and concerned, but Chris only looked at her coldly. "It's nothing to worry about."Upon hearing that, she was secretly relieved and followed with another question,"Then why did sir carry her out? He looked like he was in a hurry."Chris glanced at her indifferently. In a surly tone, he retorted, "Didn't your superior tell you there are things you shouldn't ask?"That shut her up.She smiled sheepishly. "I'll be in my room, then."Chris ignored her.After returning to her room, Mrs. Vale made another call but realized it was a defunct number.The same thing had happened befo
Jean was admitted for three days.After undergoing the blood purification treatment, the toxins in her body were greatly reduced.Mrs. Vale was on tenterhooks these three days.She couldn't contact the person behind her, and she also didn't know what happened to Jean.Besides, the household staff from Larson Residence were shrewd. They were a close-knit group and would always discriminate against her.She was having a hard time every day, constantly worried if she would give the game away.She was so nervous she even thought about giving up on everything.Moreover, it was almost as if the other household staff were keeping an eye on her. Someone would always appear before her if she tried to do anything.She was a bundle of nerves.On the day Jean was discharged, Chris went to Aquaria Villa to inform everyone beforehand."Ms. Michaels' baby is in unstable condition. So, you must take care of her the best you can. Mr. Larson treasures this baby very much. "So, please be care
