"You're not allowed to have any contact with Curtis from now on."Curtis had just walked into the ward with food when he heard Anthony's words clearly at the entrance. He froze in place, standing there motionless for a long time. Meanwhile, by the bedside, Margot was also surprised. She looked at Anthony, hesitating. Anthony also looked at her and spoke with difficulty, "Margot, are you unwilling to do so?"Margot hurriedly shook her head. "No.""Then swear to me, you won't have any contact with Curtis ever again."Margot hesitated. Not having any contact with Curtis? In the past, she might have agreed, but... But now, Curtis was sick. He was the only man she loved, the father of her child. She couldn't bear to push Curtis away at this time. But if she didn't agree, how would Anthony cheer up?"What are you hesitating about, Margot?" Anthony's tone became somewhat forceful.Coming back to her senses, Margot firmly said, "Okay, I swear, I won't have any contact with Curtis anymo
Margot saw that Curtis seemed a bit guilty, so she asked frankly, "Did you hear what I said to Anthony just now?""No, what did you guys talk about?" He pretended to be clueless.Margot stared at him intently and said, "You did hear, right? Curtis, I only agreed to him to reassure him. I don't really want to cut off contact with you."She took the initiative to hold his hand, encouraging him, "Don't worry about it. Anthony might need a long time to recover. During this period, you just don't have to meet him. Although I agreed with him, he can't leave the ward and doesn't know about us. So, don't overthink it, okay?"Both of these men were important to Margot. But they were facing the brink of death, and she had no choice but to lie. She hoped that the man in front of her would understand her.Curtis looked at Margot in front of him and fell silent. So, she didn't really want to leave him. She had said those words just to reassure Anthony. For some reason, Curtis suddenly felt dee
After all, Margot was soft-hearted and knew how to be grateful. Was it because she was afraid he would have regrets that she forced herself to stay by his side, or was it because she truly loved him and couldn't bear for anything to happen to him?Margot avoided his embrace and looked at him with a firm gaze. She said, "Curtis, can't you see my feelings for you? Before I knew you were sick, I had already slept with you. If I didn't love you, would I have done such a thing with you? Or is it that in your heart, you think I'm just—""Enough, stop talking." Curtis raised his hand to cover her small mouth and hugged her again. "I just felt it was a bit unreal. I felt like you were a little hedgehog that wouldn't let me get close again."He continued, "But now I understand. You're still the same as before, always loving me. You can't leave me."With that, it was enough. Curtis held her in his arms again. He felt his heart, which had been beating bloody, gradually being filled. He was
The doctor had just finished administering the medicine and left.Margot asked, "Anthony, what do you want to eat? I'll go out and bring it for you."Anthony didn't know where Margot had been during her absence, but the fact that she came back made him content.Looking at Margot, his voice still sounded weak. "I don't feel like eating anything now. Just stay with me and talk."Margot sat down. "What do you want to talk about?""Has Curtis been bothering you recently?"This was Amberville. It was Curtis' territory. If Margot stayed here, she would inevitably be harassed by Curtis. Regina's intention was for him to persuade Margot to return to Emeria.Anthony thought it would be better to return. That way, Curtis wouldn't have the chance to get close to Margot again.Margot's eyes flickered and she lied, "Curtis knows that Lilac is his daughter, so he will occasionally appear. But I promised you that I won't have any contact with him. You can be rest assured.""I'm not assured."
Margot paused her steps, her gaze falling on Zyla."What do we have to talk about?" She still didn't want to engage and tried to walk around her.But Zyla persisted and blocked her path. "Margot, I can give you my identity as the youngest princess of the Morris family, but you must not compete with me for Royce."Zyla stared at Margot with hostility in her eyes.Margot stopped again and looked at the crazy woman in front of her. She couldn't help but sneer coldly. "Give it to me? Let's not even talk about whether you're qualified to use the word 'give.' I'm not interested in being a daughter of the Morris family. Furthermore, I wouldn't stoop so low as to compete with you for anyone. Get out of my way and stop blocking my path."Margot stood there, her petite stature exuding a fierce aura. Her entire body seemed covered in thorns, discouraging any attempts to come closer.Zyla felt a bit fearful of her, but she didn't want to lose her dignity. Throughout her life, nobody dared to
Zyla would absolutely not let Margot take away everything that belonged to her, Including Royce.Everything was hers, all of it, and all of her family were hers alone.As long as Margot disappeared from this world, there would be no one to compete with her.Yes, Zyla must find a way to get rid of Margot.Thinking of this, Zyla touched her swollen cheek. She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with revenge and resentment....Margot went to the pizzeria and had the chef prepare some meals for her. While waiting for the food, a waiter came to her and said, "Boss, there's a man over there looking for you."Margot came out of the kitchen and looked in the direction the waiter pointed. When she saw it was Gabriel, she was somewhat curious.Why was Gabriel looking for her?Margot approached him with suspicion.Gabriel found a seat. When he saw Margot coming over, he greeted her with a smile."Margot, you're doing well. The pizzeria is fairing well."Margot sat down opposite him an
Gabriel stood up, a restrained smile hanging on his handsome face. "I just wanted to ask. It's nothing. Since you're busy, I'll leave first."It wasn't until Margot watched Gabriel leave that she realized what he meant.She messed up.Natalie must not have wanted Gabriel to bother her, so she lied about being with Calvin.And what did Margot do just now? She denied it.Margot hurriedly took out her phone and called Natalie.When Natalie answered, Margot apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Margot, I ruined your plan."Natalie was puzzled. "What plan did you ruin for me?""Just now, Gabriel came to ask me about you and Calvin. He asked if you two were together, and I said no."There was silence on the other end.Margot continued to apologize, "I'm sorry, Natalie. I didn't realize it until Gabriel left, but it was too late.""Margot..." Natalie suddenly called out."Hmm?""I think Calvin is a pretty good guy. If I really got together with him, would you support us?"Natalie was
Margot said, "Alright, Natalie. No matter what you do, as long as you're happy, I'll support you."Natalie couldn't help but laugh again, "Thank you, Margot, I love you, mwah~"Margot felt it was too cheesy and quickly hung up the phone.After the chef finished preparing the meal, she packed it up and took a cab back to the hospital.Coincidentally, she met Calvin coming out of the hospital building again when she was entering.Calvin was on the phone. When he saw Margot, he gently said to the person on the other end of the line, "I've met my sister. I'll hang up now and talk later."After hanging up, he smiled and approached Margot. "Margot, did you bring food for Anthony?"Thinking of Natalie's affection for this guy, Margot reluctantly responded, "Hmm."She couldn't help but ask again, "Do you... like Natalie?"Calvin didn't expect his sister to suddenly ask about this. He smiled gently and admitted without hesitation, "Yes, I like Natalie.""But you two have only known ea
