Margot knew that Curtis wouldn't hurt Lilac. Lilac was an obedient and loveable girl, after all.

However, it would take years for her to wait for his leg to heal.

She stood by the side, for once at a loss for words.

Curtis no longer looked at her. He pressed the call button to summon his doctor.

The doctor rushed over while trembling in fear. He noticed there was someone else in the hospital ward, but he dared not look at them a second longer.

He asked Curtis, "Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Crosby?"

"No. Check the injury on her face," Curtis coldly instructed.

Margot's expression fell. She wanted to reject the offer when she saw Curtis' cold gaze. She could only remain quiet.

The doctor quickly looked at Margot and said, "Come sit here and let me have a look."

Margot walked over to sit on the couch obediently before taking off her face mask.

The doctor asked the nurse to prepare some medicines for him. He then carefully peeled off the gauze from Margot's cheek.

    Even though Margot was now beside Curtis, the thought of her being with someone else and even having a daughter with them made him upset.He truly hated her. At the same time, he couldn't help but miss and want her by his side.However, now that she was by his side, he didn't know how to face her.Curtis knew he was conflicted, but he didn't know what to do.Margot moved in her sleep and kicked her blanket away. Perhaps the air conditioning in the room was too warm, and it made her uncomfortable.Curtis took his walking stick from the side and got down from the bed. He then covered her with the blanket.Before he could cover her up, he saw the blood-red marks below her neckline. They looked like they were whip marks. He felt his heart clenched tightly.Curtis gently lifted Margot's clothes while she was asleep. He saw a large area of her back covered in whip marks. It was a horrifying sight to behold.He was shocked and heartbroken.He looked at her frowning face even when asl

    Margot was speechless."I'll call Chester and ask him to look for buyers now," Curtis said and pretended to make a call.Margot calmly looked at him. She did not believe that he would sell Lilac off.Lilac was his daughter. She would tell him the truth and make him suffer from regret if he really sold Lilac off.Curtis kept his phone and looked at Margot when he realized she did not fall for it.Silence filled the atmosphere as the both of them looked at each other. There was a hint of awkwardness that lingered in the air.Margot quickly avoided his gaze as she continued eating her oatmeal.Curtis no longer forced her as he leaned by the bedside and endured his hunger. He eyed her discreetly when he felt the overbearing hunger.Margot continued to ignore him and went to the washroom after she was done eating. When she came out again, she heard Curtis talking to someone else. She quietly watched him with a tilt of her head.Curtis was facing his phone as he spoke to Lilac. "You

    Kiss him?Looking at Curtis before her, Margot couldn't understand how Curtis would have the audacity to even ask for such a request.Did he really think that she could forget the things he did to her in the past and act as if nothing had happened?Or did he think that she had neither dignity nor a bottom line and she would do anything for him?Margot was displeased. Without hesitation, she dumped the bowl of oatmeal she was holding into the trash can by the side. She then turned to walk toward the balcony.Curtis was speechless. His heart clenched tightly when he saw the way Margot suddenly got mad. She would rather dump the food into the trash can than endure kissing him.He dared not ask for more, knowing that she was angry. He sat there quietly.At that moment, the doctor walked in with some medicine and called out to Margot, who was on the balcony.The doctor said, "Please come in to change your dressing and get your IV drip."Margot turned and walked back to sit on her o

    Curtis wasn't sure why he was so insistent when Margot already had a child with another man. He would not gain anything if he had her body but not her heart.She was no longer the naive woman who could only rely on him. She wouldn't take his words as is and revolve around him.Curtis felt his eyes water and lowered his head to suppress his anguish. He did not speak further.Margot wiped her tears and turned away from him.They sat on their respective beds as silence filled the atmosphere.It wasn't until Curtis saw the food on the nearby table that he felt hungry. He took his walking stick from the side and stood up on his own with some difficulties. He then limped over with the support of his walking stick.Margot glanced at him, unbothered.As Curtis sat down on the couch, he accidentally hurt his leg. Pain colored his face, but he remained silent. He picked up the food that was already cold and started eating.Margot subconsciously looked at him again. She was planning to ta

    Margot carried Lilac over to the couch to eat. She continued to ignore Curtis, who was still sitting on the bed.On the other hand, Lilac ran toward Curtis with a chicken drumstick in hand.She said, "This is for you, Mister! I've tried it. It's very yummy!"Curtis had long since experienced Lilac's enthusiasm but had never accepted her kindness. That was because she was not his child.As much as Lilac was adorable and loveable, she was still another man's child and had nothing to do with him.Even when Lilac was waving the chicken drumstick in front of Curtis and tried to give it to him, he rejected her mercilessly.Curtis said, "I'm not eating it.""Please try it, Mister. You'll become healthy after eating meat! Hurry up and take it!" Lilac said as she refused to listen to him.She then climbed onto the bed and pushed the chicken drumstick at Curtis' face.Curtis coldly looked at Chester.Chester quickly picked Lilac up and said, "Be a good girl, Lilac. You can eat it inste

    Curtis would be reminded of his two unborn babies whenever he looked at Lilac.He hadn't gotten over it and refused to accept that such was his fate.Margot quickly picked Lilac up and said, "Let's go to the other side, Lilac. We shouldn't disturb his rest."Lilac was understanding. She wouldn't impose herself on Curtis if he didn't like her.She slumped against Margot's shoulders and said in an aggrieved manner, "Mommy, I miss Daddy. When will he pick us up to go home?""Soon." Margot could only go along with Lilac in order to comfort her.Curtis felt the bitterness growing in his heart when he heard her words. His expression darkened, and he was about to fly into rage. However, he knew that he was in no position to say anything.He could only endure it as he sulked in his corner.That night, Margot hugged Lilac to sleep on her hospital bed.…Early the next morning, Margot wanted to replace her debit card, but Lilac was still asleep.She looked at Curtis and said, "I have

    Curtis sat by the bedside and coldly eyed the man who walked in. The man had a crew cut and looked tough.He did not recognize such a person. As such, he sat there quietly, looking indifferent.Calvin looked at Curtis, who was on the bed. He could tell with a glance that Curtis was likely a powerful and capable man.He was not bothered by Curtis' status and background. He walked over and politely greeted, "Hello, Mr. Crosby. I'm here to ask about a person."Calvin then took out a photograph and handed it to Curtis, asking, "Do you know the person in the photo?"Curtis took the photo. When he saw the child in the photo, his grip on the photo tightened, and he frowned.Wasn't this Margot when she was young? Why was this man looking for her with a photo from her childhood? Was he Margot's family member?Curtis looked up at Calvin and asked, "Who are you, and why are you looking for the person in the photo?"Seeing that Curtis seemed to recognize the girl in the photo, Calvin said

No one was bothering them, and they were not going out to work.The two of them spent the entire day cozied up at home.It involved either snacking while watching a movie or playing games followed by some cuddling and kissing.Anthony often made delicious food for Lena and took care of her so well that she seemed completely pampered.This caused Len

    "If you won't let me bring her into the family, fine, I'll set up a large estate elsewhere. When the time comes, I won't let you in either."Daniel felt that his father was quite childish.He chuckled and said, "How about this, once the guests leave, I'll take you back to Yasmine. Then you can tell her that you've cut all ties with us and you want nothing. At that point, Yasmine is still willing to stay by your side and take care of you, then we'll do as you wish. How about that?Regarding the greedy Coran siblings, it was important to know that their father didn't have anything valuable left on him, and they wouldn't gain any benefits either.It would be surprising if she still stayed by Frederick's side."Don't underestimate people; Yasmine's love for me is genuine."Frederick didn't want to bet with Daniel.Human nature was something that shouldn't be gambled on.Daniel laughed again. "Are you afraid of losing, Dad?"Frederick stared at Daniel and said, "When have I ever be

    Yasmine was not happy when she heard she would be left alone.She knelt beside Frederick, holding his hand and pleading desperately, "Frederick, you can't do this. You can't leave me here alone. If you leave, they'll treat me badly again, just like before. Can you take me with you? Even if it's just to be your nanny, I'm begging you!"Frederick could not stand seeing women cry.When Yasmine pleaded like that, he softened and turned to look at Daniel.Daniel, with a blank expression, said, "Dad, do you really want your in-laws to see you like this?"Frederick also looked upset and said in a serious tone:"Couldn't you say she's my nanny? Who would know?""We have kids at home, do they lie?"Frederick had no choice but to turn to Yasmine and said, "Just stay here. They won’t dare bother you again. I'm leaving now."He raised his hand to signal Daniel to push the wheelchair.Daniel pushed the wheelchair forward.However, Yasmine was unwilling and tried to stop it again.The he

    "Are we supposed to live here for the rest of our lives? Even if we have to stay here, at least give us the freedom to come and go as we please."Look at how they've sent so many people to watch over us again, clearly treating us like prisoners."Noticing that Frederick's expression was starting to soften, Yasmine continued to stoke the fire."Tell me, is there any way sons should be treating their father like this? They just want to drive you to your limits so they can split up your assets. Frederick, you can't let them have their way, or else you'll spend your whole life working tirelessly for them only to end up in such a miserable situation. How pitiable that would be.Frederick was speechless.He didn't want to go back. But if he did, his sons would have to treat him with great respect.He hoped that Calvin would bring the military seal, and it had been two days now, yet they still hadn't delivered it to him.Was he really planning on not giving it to him?As soon as he th

    She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s

    "How do you think my sister is doing over there? Is Calvin treating her and her son well?"Tommy believed that Curtis, no matter what, grew up together with his sister.He would definitely tell the truth.Unlike his little nephew, who often sided with outsiders and only highlighted their good qualities.Curtis laughed. "If someone were to say that your sister is the happiest woman in the world right now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.During the month of postpartum confinement, Calvin stayed by her side constantly. Even though they were in a maternity center, he personally took care of both children. Your sister married him, you can be completely assured about it. She will only be happier, and he's taking great care of Benjamin too."Calvin was known for his impeccable character and conduct.Tommy felt relieved after hearing that.As long as his sister wasn't being mistreated over there, it was all good.He thought he still needed to take his parents to visit his siste

    Laura felt that she just couldn't stand being alone with Tommy.It felt as though the air was so thin that she couldn't breathe properly.She didn't even want to respond to the last remark. She got up without looking at him and walked straight toward the stairs.Tommy watched her walk away and sighed helplessly.It was good that she was aware of keeping a certain distance from him.At this moment, Jordan came over holding water and handed it to Tommy with both hands."Here's some water for you.""Alright, thank you."Tommy took the mug, pulled the child to sit next to him, and asked, “What’s your name?”"Jordan Crosby."Previously, his master gave him the name Jordan Mahome.After coming back with Margot and Curtis, they gave him the family surname.So now he was called Jordan Crosby.He really liked this name, too."Jordan Crosby, that's a nice-sounding name. So how old are you?" Tommy asked with a smile.Jordan laughed along and asked, "I'm eight years old. How about y

    Ashley sighed."Natalie has always been someone who only shares the good news and keeps the bad to herself. She's always been a child you can't help but feel for. Thankfully, she married such a great person like your eldest brother, which means she can live a happy life."Both Elias and Ashley were well aware of Calvin's character.Back when Curtis had an accident and lost his memory, it was Calvin who stepped in and took care of everything for their family.A man who was both capable and responsible, and held a high position of power, marrying Natalie, who had been married before, indicated that he truly loved Natalie.Fortunately, Natalie lived up to expectations and gave birth to a set of fraternal twins for Calvin."She is genuinely happy right now," said Margot with a smile.She just didn't know how long her father planned to keep doing this.He really shouldn't bring that woman home; it would disgust Calvin and Natalie."Then I'll call the Nelsons in a bit to ask when th

    When Margot and they returned to Amberville, it was already evening.Anthony didn't go with Lena and Margot to the Crosby Residence; instead, he went to Alice Manor.There was no one there, and Edna's mother had also been taken to Emeria to settle down.It was just the perfect romantic time for the two of them.When Margot and Curtis walked through the front door holding their son, they happened to catch their parents having dinner with the two kids.Jordan was the first to see them coming back, and he jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Dad, Mom, you're back!"He was so happy that he quickly got up from his chair and ran toward them.Margot opened her arms to embrace the child running toward her, with an apologetic look on her face."I'm sorry, Jordan. Ever since I brought you back, I haven't had any time to spend with you. You don't blame me, do you?"She'd been gone for about a month.It’d been such a long time, and she imagined that not being able to see her must have made
