Fortunately, Tyler managed to regain enough consciousness to return Dorian's grip on his hand.When Dorian felt Tyler squeeze his hand, he immediately said, "Dad, you're awake!"Upon hearing that, Chris hurriedly sped up to take Tyler to the hospital.After such a scare, a doctor was assigned to follow Tyler everywhere at all times.Jean returned to Teak Villa.The household staff immediately came to greet her and were surprised to find that she had returned alone.Smiling faintly, Jean said, "Dorian went to Larson Residence with his dad."The maid nodded and said, "Alright. I'll make dinner just for you tonight, then."Jean nodded in thanks.After that, she went upstairs. A moment later, she received a call from Dorian.When she saw that her son was calling her, she picked up without hesitation."Dorian, what's wrong?" she asked.Dorian had been with her for a long while recently. Now that Tyler had taken him away, Jean couldn't help but feel nervous.They had only been a
Esme naturally wanted to seize the opportunity she had at this moment.Jean's expression darkened. She headed straight to the hospital after getting her car from the garage.Inside the hospital, Lilian noticed Dorian's strong aversion to Esme.Lilian approached him with a smile on her face. Then, she glared disapprovingly at Esme and said in a stern voice, "Children can distinguish between good and evil. He knows how you've been treating him. I can tell that he doesn't like you at all, so you'd better step aside."Seeing that Lilian was going to try holding his hand, Dorian immediately pulled his hand back.Esme saw that Dorian didn't particularly like Lilian either. She had a smug look on her face as she said, "It seems like he doesn't like you either."Lilian glanced at the smug Esme indifferently and said in a low voice, "Feelings can be nurtured. At least I have a chance to get him to like me. You have no chance at all."Esme's expression changed upon hearing this.Lilian s
Jean heard Esme's voice and looked at her indifferently.Esme had expected Jean to simply walk past her, just as she used to in the past. However, to her surprise, Jean walked directly up to her instead.Esme felt a little uneasy upon noticing the confidence Jean exuded. She unconsciously took a few steps back."You …" Esme began.Jean walked up to Esme and stopped in her tracks. Then, she said coldly, "Oh, if it isn't Esme Page. If I hadn't taken a closer look, I wouldn't have recognized you. Life must've been quite difficult for you in the detention center, huh? Don't worry, you'll be more miserable in the coming days."Esme paled upon seeing Jean's confident expression. She said, "I don't know what you're talking about."Smiling lightly, Jean said in a mocking tone, "It's okay if you don't. You'll know in a few days. The authorities will help you understand. You'll be charged with poisoning and attempted murder. It seems like you'll be spending many years behind bars."Esme p
Upon hearing Tyler's request for Dorian to stay, Jean frowned slightly. Discontent flickered in her eyes.At this moment, Dorian tugged on Jean's hand and said comfortingly, "Mom, you can head home now. I want to stay with Dad."Seeing the determination in Dorian's eyes, Jean nodded and left him in the ward with Tyler.Coleen and Judy followed suit as they exited the ward.Lilian had thought about insisting on staying, but Coleen shot her a cold glare."You have to leave too," Coleen said.Lilian smiled politely and walked out of the ward.Judy took a seat in a nearby chair. She looked incredibly anxious as she asked in a worried tone, "Oh, what kind of damned curse was put upon the Larsons?"Coleen took a seat next to Judy and comforted her. "The doctor said that it's nothing too serious. He just needs proper rest to get better. Mom, your health isn't the best right now. You shouldn't worry about Tyler so much," Coleen said.Sighing, Judy replied, "How can I not worry?"Lili
When Tyler heard that, he reached out to stroke Dorian's head.Nodding calmly, he said, "Yes. I've never forgotten about you."Upon hearing this, Dorian lit up with surprise. He quickly said to Tyler, "I have to tell Mom about this. This is good news!"Tyler immediately grabbed Dorian's hand and said in a serious tone, "Dorian, don't."Dorian didn't quite understand why Tyler stopped him. Furrowing his brows, he looked at his dad in confusion."Why not? Mom will be glad to hear the news. She was really upset when she found out that you forgot about her, you know," he said in a low voice.Sighing, Tyler explained, "Her sadness is only temporary. It won't take her long to forget about me. Dorian, I owe your mother too much. I'm worried that I won't have the time to make it up to her."Dorian still looked puzzled as he listened to what Tyler had to say.He didn't know what to reply, so he simply pursed his lips and stood quietly by Tyler's bedside.After consoling Coleen and Judy
Jean paused for a moment. Her expression remained neutral as she glanced at Lilian casually."Lilian, what would you like to talk about?" she asked.Taking a deep breath, Lilian walked up to Jean with a smile. "I know about what Esme did to you. I'm actually the one who persuaded Mrs. Vale to change her testimony."Jean regarded Lilian indifferently, remaining unaffected by the news.She replied in a somewhat mocking tone, "Is that so? Do you want me to thank you, then?"Lilian replied, "You don't have to thank me so soon, Jean. I know you wouldn't be willing to talk to me if I hadn't helped you with anything. I only have one request for now. I want you to leave Tyler."Jean raised an eyebrow at that. Her lips curled into a cold smile as she said indifferently, "Leaving him isn't something I'll do just because you've asked me nicely. It seems you haven't been able to hold Tyler down recently. Otherwise, I'm sure you wouldn't be here discussing this with me."Lilian took a deep
After returning to her car, Jean glanced at the spot where Lilian had stood a moment ago.Seeing that Lilian had turned back to the hospital, a mocking glint flashed in her eyes.It was no wonder that Lilian had managed to stay close to Tyler for such a long time.Lilian was undoubtedly a clever woman.She had her own grudges against Esme, and it was likely that she had been secretly collecting evidence against her own sister.Lilian had managed to drag Jean into her plan in the end. She created an enticing offer to make Jean divorce Tyler.Jean and Tyler had already signed the divorce papers, after all. As such, the conditions Lilian had stated were already met and didn't affect Jean in the slightest.However, Jean noted that a woman like Lilian concealed her true intentions too well.Taking a deep breath, Jean tightened her grip on the steering wheel.She couldn't let Lilian end up marrying Tyler in the end.…After Lilian and Jean reached an agreement, Lilian returned to
Due to genetic defects, men in the Larson family had a history of falling ill and encountering health problems.Considering Lilian's health issues, it was unthinkable for the Larsons to accept her as part of their family.Moreover, Lilian had portrayed herself as an overly kind person over the years.It made Coleen dislike her even more.In Coleen's eyes, no one in the world was really that good of a person. Even if such a person existed, she was certain that they wouldn't be like Lilian.Lilian sucked in a deep breath upon hearing what Coleen had said. However, she maintained her composure. Even though she felt humiliated, she didn't display any anger."Aunt Coleen, you may have been mistaken. I don't have any hidden intentions. All I want to do is care for Tyler. He's an old friend of mine, so I'm genuinely concerned about his health," Lilian replied.Lilian glanced at Tyler as if seeking his support, but the man never looked her way.Lilian could only sigh in frustration and
