Curtis lost it after Margot disappeared for a month.He locked himself in his room and desperately took sleeping pills. He wanted to fall asleep.However, his mind was filled with Margot's face as soon as he shut his eyes. He couldn't find any rest.Curtis missed her so much he was going mad.Doris couldn't open the door to his room. She then called for a cab to the Crosby residence to get some help.Other than Martin, almost everyone else in the Crosby family left to help. When they rushed to the Royal Villa, Curtis was out cold due to overdosing on sleeping pills.His entire family rushed him to the hospital for resuscitation.Curtis was in a daze when he regained consciousness in the hospital.He muttered, "Margot… Margot…"The elders of the Crosby family surrounded Curtis at his hospital bed.They saw the way he was emaciated to the point of becoming unrecognizable in just a month's time. He was even muttering gibberish to himself. They felt heartbroken.Linda Curtis, hi
Ashley felt heartbroken as she pushed him down and said, "Don't be like this, Curtis. Margot has already left. She didn't want to be with you. That's why she aborted your child. She never actually loved you."Curtis was speechless. It wasn't like how Ashley said.He looked up at her and listlessly held onto her while explaining, "It's not like that, Mom. I was the one who drove her away, and I was also the one who secretly got her pregnant. She never stopped loving me. She thought that I had cheated on her."That's why I have to find her and explain that I did not cheat on her and never had children with another woman. Perhaps she will come back after I explain to her."Upon thinking so, Curtis ignored Ashley's obstruction. He tugged the IV patch down and forcibly got off the bed.Ashley said, "Please don't do this, Curt. You just got resuscitated from overdosing on sleeping pills. Please don't risk your life again, okay?""I'm fine," Curtis replied as he pushed Ashley away with
Margot was just about to fall asleep on one of the islands of Emeria. Suddenly, she felt as if something rattled within her heart.A flash of searing pain made her sit up. Her breathing became irregular as the discomfort grew.She couldn't ease the discomfort despite waiting it out. She then got up to get herself some water.Anthony might have heard her as he got up to knock on her door.He asked, "Are you alright, Margot?"Margot pressed on her chest as she went to open the door.She replied in discomfort, "Do you have any medicine for heartache? I don't know why, but I suddenly felt uncomfortable. I can't catch my breath.""What happened?" Anthony asked as he hurried her back to her room and sat her down. He then took her wrist over to check her pulse.Margot frowned while looking at him as she asked, "You know how to check pulses?"Anthony replied, "I know a little."He looked solemn after checking her pulse and asked, "Why is your heart beating so fast? You don't have any
Anthony woke up early the next morning to prepare breakfast. He then went to knock on Margot's room.He asked, "Are you awake, Margot?"Margot was washing up in the washroom.Her mouth was full of toothpaste foam as she replied inarticulately, "Yeah, I'm awake now."Anthony opened the door and saw that she was washing up.He asked with concern, "Are you feeling better now? Is your chest still hurting?"Margot smiled and said, "I'm feeling better today, but it's still somewhat stuffy."Anthony replied, "You should head down for breakfast after you wash up. After breakfast, you can get some fresh air outside.""Alright."Margot went downstairs after she finished washing up. She felt a little embarrassed when she saw that Anthony had already prepared breakfast.She said, "I'm sorry. I slept late last night and didn't get up to prepare breakfast."Anthony scooped some oatmeal for her. His lips were pursed as he looked at her with a solemn expression.He asked, "Can I tell you s
Curtis lay on the hospital bed in Amberville. His body was covered in tubes.He had an oxygen mask over his sunken and pale face. Beside him, the electrocardiogram ran irregularly. It was as if it might turn into a flat line anytime, announcing his death.Every member of the Curtis family was in the hospital ward. Martin's hand, which held a walking stick, trembled badly.He shouted angrily, "From today onward, Margot can never step foot into the Crosby residence anymore. As long as I'm still alive, she could never get back together with Curtis!"All of his daughters were choking with sobs beside him.They said, "Why are you saying this now, Dad? Margot is gone. Curt only became like this because he couldn't find her!""Perhaps Margot never loved Curt. She also didn't want to step foot into our house anymore.""Margot is such an ingrate! We treated her so well. What else was she not satisfied with? How could she hurt Curt like this?""I'll skin her alive if I were to see her ag
Lilac immediately hung her head low.She replied with a soft voice, "Daddy said I should listen to Mommy when he's not home. I need to take care of Mommy."Margot said, "But you shouldn't use the stove for food. Don't forget that you're just a three-year-old! How would a three-year-old know how to prepare food?"Lilac said, "But I just know how to!"She jumped down from Margot's embrace and ran to pull a chair out.She gestured at it and said, "Hurry and sit, Mommy! Daddy will come pick us up after breakfast!"Helpless, Margot sat down and pulled Lilac into her lap. Margot then started feeding her some food.However, Lilac quickly waved a hand and rejected it. "I can sit beside you and eat on my own, Mommy!"Margot replied, "No, I want to feed you. You're just three. You still need Mommy to take care of you, okay?"Lilac said, "But I'm already three! Sunny is just two, and he could go to the seaside to catch fish for his daddy and mommy on his own!"Margot was speechless and
The three of them boarded the cruise ship back to the city center after breakfast.Anthony had arranged for lodging at the capital of Emeria, Helio City. It was near the Morris and the Evans residence.In the past four years, Margot had not left the island for two. The first year, Margot was pregnant and couldn't travel by sea, and the following year, she had to nurse Lilac.However, Anthony had taught her many things in those two years.Additionally, there was no longer news of the search for Margot in Amberville, so Anthony willingly stayed on the island to help her take care of Lilac.He let Margot travel across the sea to help him deal with his business and to train her courage as well.Of course, Anthony would send his men to secretly protect her every time she went across the sea.Margot did not disappoint him. The business that he had entrusted to her was now blooming. She could handle it on her own, even if he wasn't there.Margot had even opened a few jewelry stores on
"I'm not sure. My family made me do it," Anthony replied casually.Margot no longer pressed on and said sincerely, "Take care of yourself. Lilac and I will be waiting for you at home."Anthony said, "Okay."He then looked at Margot. It was evident that he had something else on his mind.Margot subconsciously eyed Anthony. She could read him like a book now. She held him dear to her heart and treated him as family.She then asked him, "Is there anything else?""There is," Anthony said without denying it.Margot laughed and replied, "Go on, then."Anthony said, "You might not agree to it."Margot was speechless.She appeared flabbergasted as she frowned and said, "How would you know I wouldn't agree to it if you wouldn't even tell me about it?"Anthony gave it some thought before bracing himself to ask, "Can you help me out with something? When I get back from Amberville, come meet my parents.""Huh?" Margot replied, stunned.Anthony's gaze wavered, and he looked embarrassed
