When Jeremy saw Karen who was in shock, he assumed that Karen thought that he was the man named Jeremy.When Karen saw that Jeremy was safe and sound, her eyes turned red. After all, it was her own son. "Jeremy! Jeremy, it’s really you! It turns out that you’re still alive!"Karen got emotional and started to run toward Jeremy.Madeline grabbed Karen in a hurry. "Please, leave this place."She tried to persuade her, but Karen threw away Madeline's hand in dissatisfaction. "Eveline, what game are you playing? Jeremy is alive and well, why are you hiding him here? And why are you forbidding me to see my son?!"Madeline did not know how to explain it to Karen. Karen had always been pretty unreasonable and she was still the same.Jeremy had no patience for all that was happening and continued coldly, "Since she wants to come, then she can.”When Karen heard that, she hurried to Jeremy's side. "Jeremy, Jeremy, let me take a good look at you. You..."She tried to touch Jeremy's face,
Karen was so scared that she hurriedly blocked her face with her hands, and the blade brushed across the back of her hand, drawing blood from the cut."Ah!" Karen screamed in pain. She was shocked by Lana's fierce methods. "You, you—""Hmph." Lana sneered and looked at Madeline. "Eveline, what do you think? You hate your mother-in-law, right? I'm helping you to teach her a lesson. Don’t you feel great?”Karen looked at the bleeding wound. When she heard those words, she poured her anger onto Madeline. "Eveline, is this your doing? This woman is clearly targeting you! Jeremy is only this way because of you! I’m hurt right now because of you! You jinx!”"Tsk, tsk, tsk. What an annoying pair of lips." Lana waved the sharp knife in her hand impatiently. "Eveline, since she’s so annoying, let me give you a hand and shut her mouth forever."When Karen heard that, her face instantly turned pale with fright.She wanted to escape but was grabbed by two bodyguards."Let go of me! Let go o
Karen looked at the space by Madeline’s feet in a panic.It was the middle of summer and Madeline was wearing a dress. There was a pool of liquid at her feet.It was her amniotic fluid!If her water had broken and she was not sent to the hospital in time, the fetus might suffocate in her womb.Karen did not know how far along Madeline was in her pregnancy, but she was sure that it was not anywhere close to the due date yet. "E-Eveline! How far along the pregnancy are you?”Madeline breathed hard. "Exactly 30 weeks.""What?! Only 30 weeks?!"If she was 30 weeks pregnant, it meant that she was about two months away from her due date!Karen panicked and did not know what to do. When she saw Jeremy standing by the side and not doing anything, she shouted anxiously, "Jeremy, what's the matter with you? Are you just going to stand there and watch while your wife is in trouble?!”"Wife?" Jeremy chuckled and watched Madeline's face grow paler. He turned around dismissively.His indif
Madeline used her peripheral view to glance at the man who did not even want to look at her. "I don’t have any other choice."She stopped looking at him and swallowed her tears into her belly.Karen did not know what else to do either, so she helped Madeline lay down slowly on the sofa.When Karen saw that there were two other bodyguards in the living room, Karen drove them out angrily. "Get out! Get out! All of you!"She looked at the man who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at his phone."Jeremy, even if you don't recognize Eveline, are you really that cold-blooded to ignore her in her current situation? Will you ignore a person’s life and her unborn child?”Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows, and when he turned around, he was obviously very unhappy.He was about to warn Karen when he caught a glimpse of Madeline who was lying on the sofa, sweaty and pale.For some peculiar reason, Jeremy suddenly felt a piercing pain in his heart.He glanced at the two bodygua
When Jeremy suddenly heard Karen shouting at Madeline with such anxiousness, he was also inexplicably shocked.When he saw Madeline's sleepy appearance, he walked up to her again.She was sweating profusely and her face was as white as a piece of paper.He could see how hard she was trying to give birth to the child, but she seemed to not have enough energy.Madeline saw the man standing next to her in a daze, and she stretched out her hand to him strenuously. "Jeremy..."She gasped hard and looked at him with expectation in her misty, damp eyes.Time passed quietly, and when she saw that Jeremy was ignoring her, Madeline smiled bitterly before slowly putting down her weak hand.At that moment, Jeremy suddenly reached out and took her hand.His touch seemed to have injected a surge of strength into Madeline's body and mind.She opened her increasingly weary eyes in surprise and saw the cold man."If it hurts, just scream." The man's tone was cold, but there was warmth at the
Madeline parted her pretty pale lips and smiled slightly. "As long as it's a child with Jeremy, I don’t mind having a boy or a girl.”Eloise was initially very happy, but when she heard her answer, her eyes got wet again.She squeezed Madeline's hand and said, "Back then, you held this same belief and risked your life to give birth to his child too, didn’t you?"Madeline smiled without denying it.Back then…Back then, she loved Jeremy so badly that she would not mind if it meant dying for him.She did not think there was anything different now too.She still loved him a lot."It's a boy," Eloise told her as she teared up and laughed. "An ugly boy.”Madeline smiled as well. "When he grows up, he’ll be handsome. I bet Jack was ugly when he was born too,” she said , suddenly turning silent.She had never seen how Jackson looked like when he was born…Madeline spent more than half a month in the hospital to recuperate from her injuries and for her postpartum confinement.Altho
"Jeremy," Madeline said with joy, "Did you come to see our baby?"Jeremy looked at Madeline who was smiling and walked to the glass window indifferently. He looked at the newborns lying in the incubator in the nursery. His thin lips parted slightly as he asked, "Which one is yours?”His tone was so weak that one could not tell any emotions from it.Madeline smiled and told him, "The second in the last row, the smallest one."There was a beam of joy in her beautiful eyes as her slender fingers pointed at the little infant who was fast asleep. "It's a boy. He’ll probably look like you in the future.""How can your son look like me?" The man's words suddenly felt like a basin of cold water that was poured over Madeline.She looked at the cold man in surprise. "Jeremy?""Are you still dreaming about that? Your husband Jeremy is already dead," he said bluntly without mercy, his harsh words piercing Madeline's heart like an invisible ice pick.When Madeline heard him, she slowly clen
She looked at him sadly and turned around decisively.Before she could take a step, the back of her neck was grabbed by the man's warm palm and Madeline was forced to turn around. He held her right in front of him.The man's bottomless round eyes shrouded her vision like a deep and vast night."Do you know that you’re asking for your own death if you continue acting this way?”"So are you going to kill me, Mr. Zimmerman?" Madeline sternly greeted his sharp and frightening icy eyes.Her beautiful, clear, and charming eyes that looked like autumn were reflected in his eyes. It was as if the sight of her was tugging on his heartstrings, leaving him in a trance for a while.He quickly returned to his senses and focused on Madeline's eyes."Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I’ll show you the consequences of offending someone you shouldn't have offended."The word of warning came out of his thin lips without a trace of warmth.He let go of her, leaving Madeline alone as he drove aw
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
