Upon hearing this, Lilac looked at Curtis with a distressed look. She blinked her big eyes, pouted, and was about to cry.Curtis tenderly stroked her little face and explained, "Darling, didn't you promise Daddy that you would stay with Daddy today and Uncle Anthony tomorrow? We agreed on that, right?"Lilac nodded and said, "I promised Daddy, but Daddy didn't say that I would be separated from Daddy.""Daddy has to work, so isn't that why you and Daddy will be separated?""Then Daddy, promise me not to be apart for too long, okay?"Curtis smiled, hugged his daughter, and sat her on his lap. "Okay, we won't be apart for too long, just a few days. You go with Mommy to accompany Uncle Anthony, and Daddy will wait for you at home."Lilac agreed and nestled into Curtis' arms, not letting go of his neck.Margot put away her spoon and stood up. "You two continue playing. I'll go get some medicine from the doctor.""Go ahead."Curtis didn't mind.He knew that Margot was probably jus
Accompanied by Calvin and his team, Margot arrived at the airport. Originally, they were supposed to board the Morris family's private plane bound for Emeria. However, she had already obtained her boarding pass in advance. After passing through security, she took her daughter and headed to a boarding gate for a flight to another city.Calvin was worried about her and followed to inquire. "Margot, where are you taking Lilac? I'm really worried about just leaving you two alone. Where are you going? Can I accompany you?"At this moment, Lilac was asleep in Margot's arms.She looked at Calvin in front of her. She was afraid of waking her daughter, so she covered her daughter's ears and replied in a low voice, "No need for you to accompany us. I'm taking Lilac somewhere else for something. You go and take Anthony home first.""But...""Calvin, I'm an adult now, and I know what I'm doing. Don't worry about me and Lilac."She had arranged everything for their return to the mountains.
"Whether you go back to Emeria or not doesn't matter anymore. I'm just informing you, don't waste your energy on me. I... am going to marry someone else. Why don't you come and drink at my wedding before you leave?"Upon hearing this, Margot's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt dizzy. Her steps involuntarily faltered.After a while, she stabilized her emotions and hurriedly apologized, "Curtis, I won't leave. I'll bring Lilac back immediately. Can you wait for me at the hospital?""I've already returned to the Crosby residence. Let's not see each other privately anymore. I'll have Chester send the wedding invitation to you later.""What did you say? Curtis, are you joking with me? Curtis—"Before Margot could finish her sentence, the other party hung up the phone.She stood still, feeling blank in her mind.What did Curtis mean?He was marrying someone else?Didn't he love her very much? Why would he marry someone else?It must be a lie.Margot quickly turned around
Curtis, remaining at the Crosby residence, disclosed his situation to his parents in full. Ashley sat beside, unable to contain her emotions. Tears streamed down her face, while Elias' eyes turned red. They couldn't imagine their son falling seriously ill at such a young age. If he were to collapse, the entire Regal Enterprises would likely undergo a change in leadership soon. But what could they do? They could only advise their son to cooperate with treatment as much as possible while they made every effort to find a suitable heart for him.Just after Curtis hung up Margot's call, he looked towards his mother and made a request, saying, "Margot is coming to see me, but I don't want to meet her again. She might come with our daughter. You go to the gate to meet her, tell her I'm getting married, and ask her to leave."Ashley asked, "Who are you marrying?""The family is arranging the wedding for my aunt and the young master of the Bailey family. I'll just use that as an excu
Seeing that Ashley wasn't moved at all, it seemed as if she and Curtis had conspired together. Margot didn't want to struggle pointlessly, nor did she want them to detain her child. As long as Lilac was with her, she still had some hope."Fine, I'll go. But can you let Curtis come out to see me once? I want to have closure with him before I leave," she requested.She wanted Curtis to tell her in person. If he truly didn't need her anymore, then she would disappear. There was no need to fabricate lies about him marrying someone else and that person being pregnant with his child just to force her to leave. She knew he wouldn't be involved with anyone else.Ashley hesitated. Seeing that Margot did indeed have feelings for their son, she compromised and turned away, saying, "Then wait here."Margot found a place to sit down and tried to adjust her state of mind. She told herself not to cry. Even if Curtis really didn't want her, it was okay. She still had her daughter. But the
"Who are you marrying? What Ms. Bailey from the Bailey family? Do you think I'll believe it just because you paid someone to act?" Margot couldn't help but yell at him."Can you pull yourself together? Can you show some responsibility? Can you set an example for Lilac? Do you think it's good for us to leave you and Lilac? Don't you know how much I love you? Both Lilac and I will be in pain without you. Have you ever considered our feelings?" Her emotions surged, and tears filled her eyes involuntarily. Glaring at him with frustration, she really wanted to slap him and wake him up."Even if my marriage to someone else is fake, do you think you can still stay by my side?" Curtis didn't want to bring another woman into this just to upset her, but he was still determined to push her away."Margot, do you know why I desperately pursued you four years ago? I just couldn't accept it. I just wanted to see how much backbone you, Margot, really have. Look, with just a little effort, I got y
Margot had just left the Crosby residence with Lilac when Calvin hurriedly caught up with them."Margot, why did you suddenly come back here? Is something wrong?" he asked anxiously."No, let's go," Margot replied, not wanting to linger at the gate of the Crosby residence any longer. She hurriedly left with her daughter in her arms.Lilac nestled against her shoulder, looking pitiful as she said, "Mommy, why are we leaving? Aren't we going to see Daddy?""He's busy. Let's go home first.""What about Uncle Anthony? Aren't we going to see him either?"When her daughter mentioned Anthony, Margot stopped and looked at Calvin walking beside her."You didn't leave? Why did you follow us? Where's Anthony?"Calvin explained, "Anthony saw that you didn't follow, so he didn't want to go back. I had someone send him back to the hospital. I'm sorry, Margot, I didn't handle this small matter well. It must have delayed your plans, right?"Margot said, "No, let's get in the car."She took t
Soon, Calvin's car stopped at the Rio Residence.He got out of the car with Lilac in his arms and looked at Margot who also got out of the car, saying, "I guess you also hope I can bring the person over as soon as possible. I just checked the address you gave me. It's over 600 miles from Amberville. I won't send you upstairs. I'll hurry over to find the miracle doctor you mentioned."Margot took her daughter from him and nodded. "Okay, have a safe journey."Calvin got back into the car, but before leaving, he reminded Margot, "I may not be back for two or three days at the latest. When you have time, comfort Natalie for me. Bring Lilac to accompany her, okay?"In fact, he was worried that Margot would quarrel with Curtis and feel upset. With Natalie accompanying her, maybe she would feel better. The two women had a good relationship and could comfort each other.Margot nodded. "Don't worry, I'll go find Natalie later. If there's anything on your end, remember to call me.""Okay,
