“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
Shaun, who had been poking his head in and looking at them secretly, said, “Although it’s a foreigner’s sperm, there are many other countries with people who look like Australians.”“You have a point there,” Freya said in disappointment. “Charity, you should’ve told the hospital that you want a tall, handsome father with brown hair and blue eyes.”Catherine secretly glanced at her husband upon hearing that. “...”A smile stretched across Charity’s pale face. “You’re right. I should’ve stressed on it back then.”Catherine put her hands around Freya’s waist. “Alright. Even if the baby isn’t of mixed blood, look at his tall nose and huge eyes. He’ll definitely be a handsome boy in the future.”“You’re right too.” Freya was not hung up on the matter anymore. After leaving the hospital, Catherine bid goodbye to Freya. When Catherine got into the car with Shaun, she gave her husband a long side glance. “Does the baby look good?”“...He does.” Strangely, Shaun felt a wave of cold
Only after three days was Charity discharged from the hospital. She specially hired a maternity matron and a caregiver to look after her.Catherine was the one who introduced Aunty Lorrie to Charity. Apparently, Aunty Lorrie was the best maternity matron in Canberra, in terms of quality and professionalism in caring for children. After Charity was discharged, Aunty Lorrie proved what she was made of through her ability. In particular, Aunty Lorrie looked after the newborn babies with great care.As for the newly-hired caregiver, Aunty Queenie, she cooked delicious food. What was more, she was excellent at serving pregnant women. Every day, she nourished Charity to make sure the latter had sufficient breast milk, and Charity recovered very well.On the day Charity left the confinement center, Max came to visit her and brought with him many tonics, as well as toys.At the sight of the motherly Charity carrying her baby on the couch, Max was filled with mixed feelings.He never
“All the residents here are rich, aren’t they?” Charity replied with a laugh.“That’s true.”Max then dropped the subject.Charity did not mind whether she had a neighbor or not. As a public figure, she hardly interacted with her neighbors, so whoever lived next door did not matter to her.After her confinement period, she returned to the office to work.She never used to have many goals for making money, but now she wanted to make more money for her child to spend.Regardless of whether her child would turn out promising in the future, he would not need to suffer if she made more money.In the evening, when her car arrived at the gate of her villa, there was a big lorry parked at the two-story villa next door, and a mover was carrying a wheelchair into the house.Charity frowned, but after reversing her car into the porch, she headed to the garden.While carrying Cal, Larissa was chatting with Aunty Lorrie and Aunty Queenie and watching the sunset.“Mom, our new neighbor has
It had been almost a year since Charity last met the man in Country R.One year ago, one leg of his was empty. Now that he was standing upright in a pair of pants, she could not tell that he had lost one leg.Even so, Charity was sure that that leg of his was probably not the same as a normal person’s.Otherwise, he would not need a walking stick.“When did you return from overseas?” Charity soon pulled herself together from the shock.“Less than three days ago.” Chester fixed his eyes on the woman in front of him. It was hard for him to imagine that she was already a mother.After one year, her face seemed chubbier, and she was not as thin as before but looked more bosomy.A dark glint flashed in his eyes.However, he dared not fix his eyes on that for long. He swiftly averted his gaze and turned to the baby in the stroller.That was when his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Was that… his and her child?He heard Shaun say previously that the child looked rather cute.Howeve
Chester was speechless. If he were to deny it, Charity probably would not believe him. Her eyes seemed to say that he should come clean with the truth or bear the consequences. “Yes. That’s right. I used the seaside villa to make your neighbor move away.”Chester was honest with his answer. Charity laughed out of exasperation. If she had something in her hand, she would have thrown it at Chester without hesitation. “You exchanged a villa worth billions of dollars for one worth 700 to 800 million dollars. I don’t think your legs are the problem. It’s your brain. Why didn't you exchange it with me? I don’t mind moving to the seaside. I’ll offer this villa to you.’Although Charity was financially independent, she was still reluctant to spend billions of dollars bidding for seaside houses. However, that lunatic, Chester, exchanged it without batting an eyelid. What a spendthrift. He truly did not know how hard it was to earn money. Chester, on the other hand, did not f
