Tears streamed down Margot's face as she looked dazedly at Anthony, who was lying motionless on the ground.Then, she started to shake his body with all her might as she cried out in despair, "Anthony! Anthony, wake up! Please don't die. I have a secret to tell you. Anthony..."No matter how loudly she shouted, the man in her arms did not respond.Margot was devastated. She held Anthony tightly in her arms as she knelt on the floor. In her despair, she didn't know what she should do.Watching as the woman he loved held another man in her arms and cried her heart out like she wanted to die by his side, Curtis, who was standing next to Margot, felt heartbroken.Only then did Curtis realize Margot was no longer his.His Margot had fallen in love with another man. She did not love him anymore.Why should he hold on to a woman who loved him no more?Curtis steered his wheelchair and left the warehouse. He did not want to see her crying aggrievedly for another man.Chester took out
Lilac sat on Curtis' lap. She blinked her eyes and answered Curtis' question, "The old witch in Daddy's house is mean, and she never lets Mommy stay with me. She also stops Daddy from spending time with Mommy. I hate that old witch. That's why I left the house to look for Mommy. Then, I met you."Curtis was at a loss for words.He finally understood nothing had gone wrong between Margot and Anthony.The Morris family was the source of all their problems.A family like that would never allow Anthony to marry a divorced woman.Margot and Anthony were just a couple of lovebirds separated forcefully.It irritated him to see Margot dating another man. But seeing her getting hurt because of another man made him feel frustrated."Mister, I'm hungry. Why don't I cook something for us?"Lilac hopped off Curtis' lap and wanted to go to the kitchen.Curtis stopped Lilac. "You are so young. How are you going to cook? I'll get someone to bring us food now.""I can cook. Daddy taught me."
Margot loosened her grip on Curtis' collar and pushed him away. Emotionally broken down, she yelled, "Do you think I won't do it, Curtis?""Do it, then."Seeing how she threw a massive fit at him because of Anthony, Curtis was driven to the edge by jealousy. He lost his composure and growled, "Stab me with the knife, then. I'll leave and stay away from you forever if you injure me for his sake.""As you wish."In a moment of rage, Margot turned around and grabbed the fruit knife on the coffee table. She held it with both hands and pointed it at Curtis.Her hands shook violently as she was about to stab him.She glared at him as she gritted her teeth. Yet, she could not bring herself to stab him.Curtis looked at her with despair in his eyes."Do you love him so much that you can just kill me without giving our past a second thought?" Overwhelmed with grief, Margot dropped the fruit knife. She fell to her knees as tears flowed down her cheeks."Why did you hurt him? He's lyin
Curtis looked into Margot's eyes and saw her hatred for him.He didn't care about that, though. He didn't want to upset Lilac again either, so he turned his wheelchair around and left.Margot kept hugging Lilac even after Curtis left. She couldn't pull herself together.Lilac had to insist that Margot let her go. After that, Lilac gently wiped Margot's tears away. In a soft voice, she asked, "Don't cry, Mommy. Will you take me to go see Daddy?"Margot worked hard to suppress her emotions. She caressed Lilac's face and replied, "Don't worry, Lilac. He'll be fine. I'll make dinner for you now. Be a good girl and go to sleep after that.""But I wanna talk to Daddy.""He's swamped and can't talk to you now."Margot then got up and went to the kitchen.Lilac followed Margot gleefully. "So, is Daddy alright? Can I see him again?""Yes."Margot suppressed her emotions the best she could and spoke sweetly to Lilac, "You have to be a good girl, Lilac. I'll tell him to visit you whe
When Margot heard that, she lifted her head and glared at Curtis."Do you think I'd fall for that? Curtis, let me make this clear to you. Even if all the men in the world were dead, I still wouldn't reconcile with you!""Then you can let him die. I'll have the doctor cut off his oxygen supply now."Curtis was a man of his word. He stood with his head held high and barked fiercely, "Hey!"A doctor in a white coat hurried over and greeted courteously, "Mr. Crosby.""Go cut off the oxygen supply for the man inside this room. Cremate his body after he dies."The doctor was going to obey his orders, but Margot was startled into action. She put herself in front of the door and glared at Curtis."Don't you dare!" shouted Margot. "If you cut off his oxygen supply, I will kill you with my own hands."Curtis ignored her empty threats. He sneered and narrowed his eyes at her."It's not like I didn't give you a choice. You can save him. As long as you return to my side and stop arguing wi
After hanging up, Margot rushed to the hospital's entrance to meet with Natalie.Margot scanned her surroundings. As suspected, she caught someone spying on her from some distance away. She knew that was the guy Curtis sent to keep an eye on her, so she wasn't bothered.She waited approximately 30 minutes before a luxurious black car stopped in front of her.Before Margot could confirm whether the person inside the car was the one she was waiting for, the car door swung open from the inside, and Natalie emerged from within.She stepped forward and held Margot's hand excitedly. "I've got a surprise for you," said Natalie.Margot was about to ask what that surprise was when she saw another person exiting the car.That was someone she didn't want to meet.Calvin could never even have imagined that Margot was the one Natalie brought him to meet. He got a little annoyed with that. He turned to Natalie and complained, "I'm busy, Ms. Nelson, so will you please take me to my sister righ
Margot shouted, "What rights do you have to yell at me now? So what if I don't admit to it? That daughter of the Morris family that you knew is long dead! I'm not her! I'll never see eye to eye with that family of yours!"The truth was out now, even though she was reluctant to admit it. Why should she run away from it?Margot should let Regina know that she was the one who gave birth to a lowborn pleb like Margot in the first place.So, who exactly was the one who was unworthy of stepping into the Morris family now?Calvin was speechless. He stumbled back in disbelief upon hearing Margot's words.He couldn't believe that Margot, now disfigured, was actually his biological sister whom they had been looking for over the past 20 years.He refused to believe that she had gotten together with Anthony and even had a daughter with him. Regina had even left her all bruised and battered.Calvin was at a loss on what he should do now."You're just in time. Anthony is now in the hospital.
Lilac was Curtis' daughter?Natalie stared at Margot in shock.So, Margot had never aborted her baby back then. She had never fallen for Anthony as well.Did Margot keep Curtis' baby because she still had feelings for him? That must have been what happened then.Natalie couldn't believe that Margot would keep even her in the dark, but she did not hold it against her.She felt distressed seeing the wound on Margot's face. She then wordlessly pulled Margot into her embrace.Natalie knew that Margot must have suffered so much grievance during that time. She thought it would be good to hold onto Margot so that she could feel comforted even for the slightest.Margot did not resist Natalie's embrace. It was as if all her grievance and hurt had turned into tears. She did not make a sound, but tears wouldn't stop streaming down her cheeks.Natalie reached over to wipe her tears away. Her hug tightened as she said, "Just let it all out. Everything will be fine after this."Margot quick
