Calvin agreed to let Anthony find Branden. Anthony went to the hospital ward to call Lena, wanting to take her with him.However, Lena didn't want to go. Standing in the corridor and looking at Anthony, she said, "I want to stay and keep Margot company. Can you go by yourself?"She still remembered the moment before she descended the mountain when she saw Branden for the last time.If she truly cared about Branden's well-being, she should avoid seeing him again."Alright. Since both Natalie and Edna aren't here and there's no one around to personally take care of Margot, you stay here and look after her. I'll go find your master now.""Okay. Take care on the road," Lena reminded.Only she knew how much she wanted to follow Anthony up the mountain and how much she longed to see Branden and Lilac.However, she had to follow Branden's wishes and keep her distance from him. If they couldn't meet in this life anymore, then it was best not to meet at all.She wished Branden could liv
"Alright. I'm going to sleep," Margot said.Curtis nodded. "Okay."Maybe it was because Calvin and Lena were with her that Margot, who had lost a lot of blood, quickly fell asleep.Once she fell asleep, Curtis gently placed her hand under the blanket and stood up to look at Calvin."Let's go outside and talk," he said.Calvin looked at Margot with concern. After following Curtis out of the hospital ward, he turned to look at him."What are you thinking?" Calvin asked.Curtis pressed his lips together, and his eyes reddened as he said, "I'll listen to you and separate from Margot. If my condition doesn't get better, then just keep giving me painkillers. Just make sure Margot doesn't have to draw blood for me.""But if you don't have a constant supply of blood, you will always be in a state of suffering. Taking too many painkillers can also be fatal," Calvin said."If Margot keeps donating blood for me, she won't be able to handle it either."Curtis looked at Calvin and said, "
Calvin hesitated as he looked into Curtis' gaze, who was unwavering in his determination to be hypnotized.He pulled away from Curtis' hand and said, "I told you to wait until Anthony comes back."If Branden was unsuccessful and couldn't prevent Curtis from suffering, the only remaining option was hypnosis.Otherwise, what else could be done? They couldn't just stand by and watch Curtis suffer or watch him and Margot split up, right?Seeing that Calvin agreed, Curtis finally felt at ease.They returned to the hospital ward, and then they stayed by Margot's bedside, waiting for her to wake up.Margot didn't dare to sleep for too long. She was worried that if she woke up too late, Curtis' condition might worsen again. Thus, she only slept for two hours.When she opened her eyes, she saw that Curtis was indeed sitting beside her and holding her hand.Margot quickly sat up and asked, "You haven't started to get a headache yet, have you?"Curtis shook his head and said, "No. Why ar
"Don't worry. I lost control earlier. That's why I acted that way. This 50cc will be enough," Curtis assured.Margot finally gave in and allowed the doctor to finish the treatment.Calvin quickly served the custom-made pork liver oatmeal from a restaurant, scooping it with a spoon to feed Margot.Margot needed to boost her iron levels, and even though she really didn't like eating pork liver, she forced herself to eat them anyway.While eating, she began to smile optimistically and teasingly said, "How come your cooking skills seem to have gotten worse, Calvin?"Calvin honestly said, "This was custom-made from the restaurant, not by me.""Oh? I thought you went back home and made it.""Nope.""I'll do the feeding!" Curtis reached out to take the bowl from Calvin.Calvin didn't argue with him, but just in case Curtis had another outburst, he stayed nearby and kept an eye on him.He felt awkward as he watched the couple exchange loving glances and display their affection for ea
Lena held Margot's hand reassuringly and said, "Nothing's going to happen to Curtis. Don't worry. Isn't Calvin with him?""That's true."Margot relaxed and felt at ease as she returned to the Crosby residence to visit her in-laws and her beloved son.By the time the two of them reached home, it was already dark.The housekeeper saw that Margot had finally returned, and she quickly ran into the living room to report, "Mr. Elias. Ms. Anderson. Mrs. Crosby has returned."Ashley and Elias were playing with Louis, and when they heard the housekeeper's shout, all three of them looked toward the door at the same time.Upon seeing Margot walk in, Ashley quickly approached her while holding Louis in her arms. "Louis, look who's back!"Margot greeted her in-laws first, saying, "Mom, Dad. Thank you so much for taking care of Louis these past few days.""It wasn't hard work. Having Louis around is what makes life interesting for Elias and me."Seeing Lena, Ashley smiled and said, "Lena is
On the cell phone screen, Louis' face appeared, looking fair and soft. Curtis felt his heart ache, and despite himself, he couldn't help but feel his eyes welling up with tears again.When Louis saw Curtis, he softly called out, "Daddy, hug me… I want a hug from Daddy…"Curtis swallowed the lump in his throat and said with a choked voice, "Daddy can't hug you right now. Be good and stay by Mommy's side. Listen to her, okay?""Daddy… I want a hug…"Louis might be a bit unclear in his speech, but his intention was obvious. He extended his arms to reach out for Curtis through the cell phone.Curtis watched Louis' actions and felt uneasy in his heart.He repeatedly urged Margot, "It's better if you don't let him see me. I can't hold him, and that would make him sad and disappointed.""Okay."Margot understood how Curtis was feeling and quickly turned the camera toward herself. She noticed Curtis didn't look very well, and she felt a bit worried."Are you having headaches again? A
"You're five weeks into your pregnancy. Since your health isn't the best, you must watch out for …"Margot Stone didn't hear what the doctor said afterward. All she heard was that she was pregnant.She was pregnant …She couldn't believe she was having his baby.Didn't this mean that their contract marriage would now turn into a real one?Margot was over the moon. She remembered that he was returning from his business trip tonight, so she grabbed her pregnancy report and dashed home excitedly.As the sun set and the sky began drizzling, Margot returned home completely drenched.As soon as she entered the house, her housekeeper, Doris, rushed over with a towel to dry off Margot's hair."Oh, look at you! You'll catch a cold at this rate! Hurry upstairs and take a warm bath."Still, Margot kept beaming from ear to ear.She bent over to change her shoes. That was when she saw a pair of well-polished leather shoes on top of the shoe cabinet.Pleasantly surprised, Margot spun arou
Margot knew Curtis had given her a lot, and she shouldn't cling to him.However, she was pregnant with his child, so she must think for her child as well."Are you trying to start a fight, Margot?" Curtis' scowl deepened.Standing beside the bed, he looked down at Margot but didn't explain why he was marrying the other woman.Margot didn't want to anger him, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.Working hard to keep her emotions in check, she replied, "I just want to know if you'll stop talking to that woman if I have a baby with you."She was giving him a chance.Curtis pressed his lips together, displeased. Without hesitation, he said, "We will still be getting divorced, just not now. Don't worry. You can have anything you want when we get divorced."Hearing this, Margot shut her eyes as hot tears rolled down her cheeks.Her heart throbbing, she threw herself across the bed, unable to stop her cries any longer.Curtis watched her sob, and his heart began to ache
