Chester and Shaun exchanged glances, and both felt guilty.Hence, Shaun quickly opened the door and said with a serious expression, “Wifey, be careful of what you say. Chester said his leg hurt, so I closed the door to check his condition.”Upon hearing that, Catherine said in a serious tone, “Is it bad? Do we need to return to the hospital to get it checked?”“Maybe he overdid it when he was practicing walking earlier in the morning.” Shaun made it sound like the truth. “Take it slow. Your body hasn’t fully recovered,” Catherine said to Chester in a rare, pleasant tone. “Shaun told me off just now too.” A sigh escaped Chester’s lips, and he spoke earnestly. Shaun could not resist giving him a sideways glance. Chester’s acting skills could win him an award. “Alright. I’ll ask Ken to keep an eye on you. Ryan and I are going to make lunch.” Shaun rolled his sleeves up, revealing his firm arms. “You guys are cooking?” Chester was astonished. Shaun glanced at his wife. The
Chester’s heart clenched for a moment. Even so, he said reluctantly, “Charity, why don’t you think about getting a boyfriend and marrying him? Life is long. Giving birth and raising a child is no easy task. Especially when you’re sick, having someone to share your responsibilities will make it less tiring.” Charity thought over the matter seriously.Why was she unwilling to get married?In fact, she had attempted to get into a relationship with Max.However, she discarded the thought after something happened to Chester.After noticing that Charity had been silent for a while, Chester felt a glimmer of hope. “Charity, is it because I—”“You did hurt me.” Charity interrupted him and said honestly, “After going through it, I don’t find relationships memorable. It has brought me nothing but torture and harm, so I think it’s nice to be alone too. What’s more, my parents are dead. Being able to see the world with Eliza’s body is already a blessing. What gives me the right to find happ
Two days later, Charity went to a hospital in Bern by car.Shaun’s friend personally received Charity. He was a middle-aged man in his 40s and had azure eyes and curly hair. His movements looked gentlemanly as well.“Hi. I’m Nison.” The man shook Charity’s hand. Then, he got a female doctor in the hospital to perform a thorough body check-up on Charity.After a series of examinations, Nison was surprised at the results. “Do you have a history of taking stimulants?”Charity was momentarily stunned.If it had not been for the doctor’s reminder, she would have nearly forgotten it.When she was in a relationship with Chester a while back, she did take some stimulants to numb her feelings.“Y-Yes.”Every time she had sex with Chester, she would take the stimulants beforehand. Nison sighed. “Young people like you never care about your health for momentary happiness. You can’t take those stimulants however you like. Overconsumption can damage your body, and it’ll be difficult for yo
As a doctor, Chester could easily understand the report.However, his face turned as pale as a sheet after he took a look at it.“I’m such a b*stard.” Guiltily and miserably, Chester crumpled up the report and trembled in agony.“What’s wrong?” Nison was dumbfounded. “Were you the one who forced her to take the drugs?”“Practically, yes. It had to do with me.” Chester smiled wryly. If he had not forced himself upon her, always criticizing her for being like a dead fish in bed, or insulting her with all kinds of wicked remarks, she wouldn’t have numbed herself using these sorts of drugs.” At that time, he felt great, but now, he regretted it so much that he wished he could castrate himself.“You’ve really taken it too far.” Neeson criticized Chester, “You’re a doctor too. Don’t you know how serious the side effects of those drugs are?”Chester lowered his head dejectedly, not wanting to explain himself.“Forget it.” Nison sighed and leaned back. “However, I need to tell you som
However, when Catherine returned to the bedroom, Shaun actually took the initiative to say, “It seems like Eliza is going to stay here to undergo in-vitro fertilization. Why don’t you stay here to accompany her, and I’ll look after the kids?”Dumbfounded, Catherine looked at Shaun as if he was a monster. “When did you become so kind? Tsk. Could you have met some beautiful lady in a foreign country and so you’re trying to send me away…?”Shaun’s face darkened. “Fine. You can go back with me and come meet the beautiful lady I’ve met.”“No way. I need to stay here to accompany Eliza.” Catherine said with a snort, “She needs to take a trigger shot every day this month. There must be someone by her side whom she can rely on.”“I understand your concern, and that’s why I agree with it.” Shaun pinched her tender cheeks. “Don’t worry. I’ll look after the kids, and as for me, I’ll behave and wait for you to return.”“Since when did you become so nice?” Catherine was quite surprised.“I’ve
“The process of retrieving the eggs and transferring the embryos can also be painful…” Chester sounded like he was murmuring to himself. He did not know when he had become so gentle. He was a doctor, so holding a scalpel and cutting someone open was something he frequently did. He could even be indifferent when patients howled in pain in front of him. However, Chester could not bear to see Charity in pain, not even a little.He had not been eating or sleeping well during that period. Charity glanced at him weirdly. “What about it? Should I give up after having taken the injection for so many days?”Chester could not find the words to respond to Charity, and his brows furrowed in frustration. When did he become so inarticulate? Catherine complained, “Even if Charity doesn’t do it today, her body has been damaged because of you. She can only get pregnant this way.”“I’m sorry.” Chester lowered his head. His tall nose and dark lashes cast shadows over his face. It made th
In the middle of a snowstorm in a foreign country, Charity remained silent for a full two minutes. In the end, she let out a long sigh. “Forget it.”“Forget it?” Catherine was shocked. “I don’t have a boyfriend or a husband. I’m just spending money to buy an unknown sperm.” Charity turned her head back and looked toward Catherine with a serious expression. “The baby’s father’s identity isn’t important, and it doesn’t make a difference to me.”Catherine stared at her for some time, stunned. She seemed to understand what Charity meant but not quite at the same time.“So… You don’t mind even if you’re pregnant with Chester’s child?”Charity put a hand into her pocket and held an umbrella with the other. “If he’s intent on changing the sperm, do you think I can avoid it by switching hospitals?”Catherine was taken aback, but that made sense. There used to be a ranking for doctors in Australia, and she remembered seeing Chester’s name on the top. She heard Chester’s medical skills
“Cindy,” Freya said furiously. “Hunter and his wife brought her along. By the way, that couple even invested 30 billion dollars for Cindy to be a major shareholder of a technology company. Cindy’s net worth is even higher than mine now. It makes me so angry.”Charity was taken aback. Considering Cindy was not even Hunter’s daughter, the Jewell family was too willing to spend money on her. Although Cindy’s blood was useful to Madam Jewell, it was ridiculous. “Let me tell you something. Cindy, Cathy, and I used to be good friends in high school and university, but she betrayed us after that. I didn’t think she would get to a higher position than ours after all these years.”Freya said emotionally, “I used to think Rebecca and Sarah were impressive, but now, I realize the most impressive person is Cindy. Especially with her family’s bad financial situation, how many people can come this far?”Charity had the same sentiments. She had only competed with Cindy in the entertainment
