"Okay." Sabrina obediently nodded and watched as her father walked toward Lena.Branden went into the kitchen and gestured to the nanny. "You go take care of something else, I'll handle this."The nanny was very polite and said, "Mr. York, you are a guest. How could I possibly let a guest do the work?""This isn't my first time here, no need to be so formal. Go ahead with your tasks, I'll take care of myself."The nanny saw that the other person was insistent on handling it themselves, so she had no choice but to leave.Lena stood nearby and was in disbelief. "You can make lunch too?""Yes, but the taste likely won't be as good as what a real chef makes."Then, Branden rolled up his sleeves and started working.Lena couldn't just go back and sit, so she helped out nearby.However, the silence between them was becoming quite awkward, so she decided to break the ice and start a conversation."Um… Sir, did you and Sabrina's mother get divorced?""Yes," he replied very straightf
Branden deliberately didn't dodge, and his exceptionally handsome face ended up taking a punch, causing blood to immediately trickle down from the corner of his mouth.Lena was startled and instinctively pushed Anthony away. She stood protectively in front of Branden, and yelled, "What are you doing? Why are you getting physical now?""Because he deserved it!"Someone who interfered with another person's relationship deserved more than just being hit.Still feeling unsatisfied, Anthony pulled Lena away and then grabbed Branden by the collar.When they were about to start fighting again, before Lena could stop them, Sabrina was already standing by the two men's legs. She looked up with a fierce but cute expression and said, "You can't bully my Dad. Let go, or I'll bite you."Sabrina was acting aggressively, clinging to Anthony' leg and looking like she might bite at any moment.Anthony was taken aback as he looked in disbelief at the child by his side and the words coming out of
Where did she get her confidence from?Lena stayed silent and didn't want to engage with him anymore.Anthony, growing impatient, banged on the door again and shouted, "If you don't open it, I'm going to kick it open!"An angry voice from Lena can be heard as she said, "Do it then! We're already broken up; there's nothing more to discuss. Just leave.""When did we break up?" Anthony was immediately annoyed. "Lena, don't push me, open the door.""I told you before, we broke up. If you forgot, I'm telling you again: we broke up."Fuck! Unable to bear it any longer, Anthony violently kicked open the door in front of him.He strode in with an imposing air.Lena stood up and glared at him fiercely, ready for a confrontation."Say that you're breaking up with me again."Anthony's face turned pale with anger. He roughly grabbed her thin shoulders and growled loudly, "Lena, what have I ever done wrong to you that makes you treat me this way?""When have you ever been good to me?" Le
Lena never thought about breaking up with Anthony.He was too self-centered and always controlled her.Moreover, due to Regina's interference and his constant misunderstandings of her, she had no choice but to tell him they should break up.Hearing him ask about the breakup again, Lena hesitated as she was unsure of how to respond.Anthony saw that she was at a loss for words and couldn't figure out what she was thinking. He felt a mix of sorrow and bitterness in his heart."Let's put our discussion on hold and talk about it later. We should talk about Margot now. I need to hypnotize her, so please stop stirring things up on the side.""Are you sure you hypnotized just for her sake?" Lena questioned him back.Anthony was quite displeased. "She's my sister. Would I harm her?"Lena nodded and let out a cold snort."Sure, she's your sister, so you wouldn't want to harm her. All right, then you go ahead and hypnotize her. I really want to see if you can actually help her remember
Anthony sat in the living room for a while and started to feel bored. His gaze involuntarily drifted toward the dining room, and he called out to Sabrina."Sabrina, where did your godmother go? When is she coming back?"Sabrina hurriedly said, "My godfather said he was taking her out to get some fresh air. I'm not sure, but if it gets dark, they should be back by then."Dark?Did that mean Anthony had to wait almost the whole day?The thought of seeing Branden downstairs made him feel uneasy, so Anthony got up and headed upstairs again.Branden checked the time. After having lunch, he told Sabrina, "Go upstairs and tell Lena that we're leaving first."Sabrina was very curious. "Aren't we going to wait for Mommy and Daddy to come back before we leave?""Nope. You've missed several days of class already.""Alright, then how often can I come visit Mommy again?""When she needs you."Sabrina didn't quite understand.Generally, when would Margot be needed?She didn't think much
"Why? If you love her, then why did you marry me? Please don't go, Curt. If you stay with me, I can have children with you.""Margot, you will never be Mrs. Crosby. Let's get a divorce!"In an instant, countless disjointed fragments flashed through Margot's mind, and numerous voices echoed in her ears.She suddenly panicked, lost control of her emotions, crouched down holding her head as she tried hard to piece together all the fragments and remember what had happened.Why was she hearing those sounds?Why did her chest suddenly hurt so much?"MArgot, what's wrong?"Curtis crouched down and hugged her with concern. "Did you remember something, or are you feeling unwell?""No, Curt, please don't leave me, don't..."Margot had completely lost her normal consciousness. She was trembling all over, and was muttering to herself in a daze, "Curtis, I hate you. How could you treat me like this?""No, it's not my fault.""Curt, I'm sorry. Please don't leave me. Curtis, I don't love y
Curtis didn't trust the doctors' medical skills. When he saw Lena hurrying over, he quickly stood up and spoke to her."Take a look quickly, what's wrong with Margot?"Lena rushed over so quickly that she forgot to bring her silver needle.She stepped forward to give Margot a preliminary check-up.Anthony also had a bit of medical skills, but his methods were completely different from those of Lena.They each focused on their own thing without getting in each other's way.Lena paused and looked at Curtis."There's no risk to her life. What did she experience before she fainted?"Curtis said, "I took her to the place where we used to live together. A lot of her belongings were still there. After seeing them, she started acting strangely and saying all sorts of incoherent things.""Could it be an awakening of consciousness?" Lena muttered."What does that mean?"Anthony explained, "It's about using past items to trigger lost memories."Curtis was still puzzled. "Does this mea
Lena pushed aside Anthony's hand with a nonchalant expression on her face.Anthony noticed that Frederick's expression had darkened a bit and, fearing that Lena might say something else that would cause the whole family to develop a prejudice against her, he quickly pulled her away.Lena didn't want to leave, but Anthony was very strong, and she couldn't resist, so she had to follow him out of the hospital ward.Calvin, worried that the noise might wake Margot up and upset her further, went up to remind his mother."Mom, let's leave for now and let Natalie and Curtis stay and keep an eye on things.""Yes. Dad just got back and hasn't even rested before coming to the hospital. You should go back with him and get some rest. I'll let you know if anything changes with Margot," said Natalie.Regina glanced at her and reluctantly nodded."Alright, Natalie, please take good care of Margot for me.""Don't worry. I'll take good care of her.""Okay."Regina walked over to her husband a
