Curtis had no choice but to do this to protect Margot and Lilac. He had no other way.

He took out his phone and called the hospital. In a solemn tone, he said, "I'm coming to the hospital today, so make the necessary arrangements."

He couldn't stay in the hospital for treatment all day. He still needed to go in occasionally for a check-up and find ways to treat his condition.

If there was hope and a chance that he could live, he wouldn't push Margot and Lilac away.

...

Lilac was very well-behaved today. She did not make a fuss about leaving because she thought she could see Curtis in the evening.

Royce drove them to the pizzeria.

As Margot was going to be busy managing inventory and having discussions with her business partners, she didn't have the time to take care of Lilac.

Afraid that the Crosby family might take Lilac away if she was left at the kindergarten, Margot brought Lilac to the pizzeria and asked Royce to help look after Lilac.

At first, Lilac didn't want to play

    Margot explained, "I'm not that busy. I've delegated all the tasks to the staff. I just have to check on the ingredients and negotiate with business partners every now and then."As Margot's store was popular among internet celebrities, business was booming, and the restaurant was always packed with customers.It was now 4:00 pm, and the dinner crowd was starting. "I think you've made the right decision in opening this store. Your business is always good every day. Actually, I came here to tell you something," Natalie said.Margot's eyes lit up with anticipation. "What is it?""I'm also planning to move back here. The two of us can buy two adjacent houses like before. How about it?"Margot was somewhat surprised. "Really? So, will we be able to spend every day together like we used to?""Of course. I've already found the houses. I'll take you there to have a look later, okay?""Okay."Margot's expression turned serious when she thought of something. She asked, "Aren't you afr

    Margot nodded firmly. "I made it clear to Curtis that I won't give birth to another child for him."Natalie pondered. "So, Curtis pushed you to another man because he didn't want you to be troubled by his family?"Margot shook her head. "No. He just sees me as an easy target and is deliberately disrespecting me."No matter what happened in the future, she would never forgive Curtis again.If Lilac didn't need him, Margot wouldn't want to see him again.Natalie contemplated for a moment and said, "I have a feeling there are other reasons behind Curtis' actions. Should I talk to him on your behalf later?"Margot declined, "It's fine, Natalie. As long as Lilac doesn't insist on seeing him, I want to establish a clear boundary with him too."It was best if their paths never crossed again.Natalie fell into silence. She sensed that Margot still harbored feelings for Curtis. However, she couldn't comprehend why Curtis kept acting foolishly. She refused to stand back and do nothing. S

    "Gabriel." Before Gabriel could finish his words, Curtis interrupted him and glared at him coldly. "Shut up! Have you forgotten what I said?"He had instructed Gabriel to keep it a secret, but as soon as Natalie showed up, Gabriel couldn't control his tongue.Did Gabriel even consider Curtis as his friend? Gabriel couldn't even fulfill such a simple request.Gabriel glanced at Curtis and reluctantly chose to remain silent when he realized that Curtis was vehemently trying to stop the conversation."What's wrong with the both of you?" Natalie looked at Gabriel and gestured for him to continue. "What's wrong with Curtis?""It's none of your business."Curtis interrupted Natalie. "Are you here just to seek justice for Margot? You've cursed at me and vented your anger. If you have nothing else to say, leave."He knew that if Natalie found out, she would go and tell Margot. He didn't want Margot to be upset because of him.Natalie didn't leave. She completely disregarded Curtis and

    Everyone who got sick thought hiding their illness from their family was for the best.But Curtis must have known that after he died, his family would feel guilty and blame themselves when they found out. The ones left behind would live a life of agony.Curtis, feeling weak, leaned back and let out a sigh."I wish I could fulfill my duties, but if my health doesn't improve and Margot doesn't return to the Morris residence, my family will fight her for the child. I'm not trying to push her onto anyone. "I just want someone to take good care of her and our daughter. I hope the Morris family can take her back to Emeria so that no one can separate them," Curtis said.It was clear Curtis couldn't bear to be apart from Margot.But at the thought of Ashley and Martin's demands and Margot's unwillingness to have another child, Curtis felt he had no other choice."You think you're doing what's best for them, but have you considered Margot's feelings?" Natalie couldn't help but scold him

    Natalie felt that no matter what Gabriel said or did, she wasn't interested in him anymore. Since that was the case, she didn't care, even if he insisted on staying in her car.Gabriel was silent. He looked down, feeling upset. But when he thought of the man who had been with Natalie earlier, he couldn't help asking, "Are you serious about that man?"Natalie frowned, puzzled.After a moment, she realized who Gabriel was talking about.She replied, "What does it matter to you whether I'm serious with him?""How long have you two been together?""Gabriel, don't you find it ridiculous for you to ask me these questions?"Gabriel looked up at Natalie. "What's so ridiculous about wanting to know?""Does it concern you?" Natalie asked again.Natalie and Calvin had only met a few times. They weren't close, so she didn't see why she should involve Calvin further."Nat, I'm just going to say it bluntly. You're not allowed to marry someone else while you're raising my son, or I'll fight

    Margot crouched in front of Lilac and spoke with a voice laced with irritation."Lilac, you've got to stop this. I'm getting really upset. We managed just fine before he came into our lives, so why does it feel like you can't go on without him now?"Lilac, come on. Stop crying, okay? What if we visit Anthony at the hospital? Would that help?"Lilac shook her head and softly said, "But Daddy promised he wouldn't leave me behind. I don't want Daddy to go away. If Daddy doesn't come back, we'll never see him again. Mommy, can we please go look for Daddy?""Lilac Stone!" Margot stood up suddenly, her patience finally wearing thin. She had enough of Lilac's crying.When Natalie entered the room and saw Margot losing her cool with Lilac, she quickly went to comfort her. "Lilac, honey, please stop crying."While soothing Lilac, Natalie gave Margot a look. "Margot, try to cool down. There's a special connection between a daughter and her father. You have to understand."Margot struggled

    Curtis was ill. He had less than two years left.Margot's mind went blank upon hearing Natalie's words. Shock was written all over her face as she sat there with listless eyes.Natalie reached over to pat her on the shoulders.She then said in a low voice, "Gabriel said that he might be able to survive it if they could find a suitable heart for transplant surgery. But Curtis had given up on treatment. He wanted to wait for his death."He was afraid that his family would cause trouble for you and take Lilac away from you. That was why he had been pushing you away. He wanted to let the Morris family protect you."She continued, "How about you talk to him, Margot? Make him change his mind and continue with his treatment. He is still so young, after all."Natalie knew that Margot still had feelings for Curtis. She only refused to admit it out of stubbornness. She didn't want to see them taking a toll on each other.She wanted Margot to face her emotions so that she could find the ha

    But despite not returning and not meeting Curtis, the past four years still couldn't make Margot forget about him. She was even eager to see Curtis now.Margot understood that she would have to face her emotions the moment she stepped past the gate. It might even be the start of a new beginning after that.She could only hope that she wouldn't regret her decisions this time.Margot wiped her tears away from her cheeks before walking over to unlock the steel gate. She hadn't expected the password of the steel gate to remain unchanged. She pushed past the heavy gates and walked in.It was already 8:00 pm, and the living room was dark. Margot could only vaguely see a silhouette on the couch through the motion-sensing streetlight beyond the floor-to-ceiling glass wall.Margot knew that it was Curtis. She did not bother turning on the lights as she dragged her feet toward him.Curtis did not expect Margot to really show up. It appeared that she still cared for him. But what did he

    Curtis didn't argue with her, and instead, he took her hand and led her inside.Margot noticed that despite Curtis' stern demeanor, he still showed care for her through his actions. She smiled knowingly and playfully asked while walking beside him, "What, can't find me at certain times and you're worried I ran off with someone else?"Curtis glanced at her and scoffed."Would you dare? If you dare run off with someone else, I'll break your legs."Despite speaking harsh words, the expression on the face and the gaze in the eyes directed at Margot were so gentle, it seemed as if they could bring forth tears.Margot listened to his violent words and stared at him, "Say it again, whose legs are you going to break?"Curtis was standing there. Although he still had a bit of presence, his facial expression already showed defeat.Before he could try to please his wife again, Margot had already brushed past him and slipped through the mansion's front doors.While running, he shouted, "An

    So Gabriel had to personally drive her wherever she needed to go.Curtis listened to the two people and narrowed his eyes again."Who else?""Anthony."Anthony?Curtis was momentarily taken aback.Then, he saw Anthony coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron and carrying a plate, and walking into the dining room.He set down his coat and told Luna, "You sit, I'll go help.""Go ahead."Curtis followed into the kitchen and saw that Anthony and Gabriel were acting as if they were in their own home, helping themselves to whatever they wanted to eat and making it themselves.He also felt a bit embarrassed and walked over, saying, "It's not right to have you cook since you're visiting, let me do it instead."Gabriel glanced at him and said, "We all treat you like one of us, so why are you being so formal with us?"Anthony responded, "I'm making it for my wife, after all, she only eats the food that I make."Curtis shook his head helplessly.They were showing off their relatio

    Margot and Lena turned their heads at the same time.Jordan was dressed in a British-style uniform with a backpack. At eight years old, he stood around four feet tall. His smile was like a little ray of sunshine and could really brighten anyone's day.He shouted, "Mom, Aunt Lena, did you come specifically to pick me up?"Every time Margot heard Jordan call her "mom," it filled her heart with warmth.She raised her hand to give him a hug, gently ruffled his hair, and said, "Of course I'm here to pick you up, get in the car.""It's been a month since I last saw you, and you've grown taller."Lena pulled Jordan onto the vehicle and started driving.Sitting in the car, Jordan couldn't help but smile as he looked at his senior.Lena looked at him and smiled, "Living here, how does it compare to being up in the mountains?"Jordan's eyes landed on Margot, filled with warmth and joy."Wherever my mom and dad are, I feel is the best place. Of course, I'm not saying that being with Mas

    Margot greeted them with a smile, saying, "I thought you two would be quietly enjoying your romantic time at the estate. I didn't expect you'd come over to see us!"Lena reached out and gently pinched Louis' round cheeks, then looked at Margot and said, "You keep saying that, but you're not working, so why don't you come visit us?""I'm at home taking care of the kids. You have no idea how challenging it is.""Heh, you're just unfairly blaming Louis. Our little Louis is clearly very well-behaved."Lena ignored Margot and couldn't help but give Louis a couple of kisses after picking him up.Anthony walked over and asked, "Where is everyone else?"Margot motioned for them to come over and sit down, then poured them some water."Natalie just had her baby not long ago, and my in-laws went with Natalie's parents and the others to visit the babies, and they're also going to visit Dad."Whenever Anthony talked about his oblivious elderly father, he got frustrated.He didn't ask any m

    Frederick, exuding the presence of the head of the family, welcomed the arriving in-laws with a smile.Afterwards, he behaved well and didn't mention anything about Yasmine, nor did he cause any trouble with his sons.The in-laws were very careful not to mention Frederick's injury, as they didn't want to hurt his pride.Daniel saw how lively it was at home and decided to bring Ena's mother over so that the in-laws could take the opportunity to get to know each other better.In the days that followed, everyone got along very well.In Amberville, Alice Manor.Anthony and Lena were enjoying a peaceful and romantic time together here. 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
