Just when Madeline was carrying her baby up and about to kiss the baby, a few people came rushing into the scene.Madeline could not recognize Ryan's parents, but she spotted Naomi.Madeline let out a smirk at Naomi while her mind was flooded with images of the scene that occurred not long ago. "Miss Lionel is very motivated. I guess those who saw you on the screens will agree to it as well."Rage was buried deep in Naomi’s heart, yet her face revealed a sorrowful and infuriated expression. "Eveline, why did you frame me? Are there any benefits for you to gain by harming me and making me into this state?”"I framed you?" Madeline found it hilarious and handed her baby over to the nurse.The nurse carried the baby in their arms and quickly left the scene."Eveline, you're a precious daughter of an affluent family. Naomi is also a celebrity. With you harming her, how is she going to face the community in the future?!" Ryan's parents roared, defending Naomi."Look at you, you're so
A very strong voice had broken through the crowd.The voice astonished Madeline, and when she looked up, she was surprised to see Karen holding onto an insulation soup pot. She was pushing her way through the crowd to enter the ward, looking infuriated.Ryan's parents had bumped into Karen before at a few business gatherings and even exchanged conversations.In their memories, they only recalled that Karen used to hate Eveline as her daughter-in-law. 'Why is she protecting her now?'As Ryan's parents were deep in their thoughts, they let out a scornful smirk. "Karen, your daughter-in-law did such a thing to my daughter-in-law, yet you're still defending her?!"Karen glanced at Naomi with a critical gaze. "Why can't I defend my daughter-in-law when you guys are even willing to protect your daughter-in-law who’s so wild and shameless? My daughter-in-law is such a well-mannered lady and is far more prestigious than this woman right here!""You…" Naomi thought of throwing a temper, b
"I might as well tell you this. This recording, before it was in your hands, I had already asked the staff back at the restaurant. I wouldn't have displayed this recording if it wasn’t for you guys blaming me."Naomi, you started this first. You invited yourself into this mess.""Eveline, you…" Naomi was flushing out of anger. Unable to suppress the rage within her, Naomi raised her hand and was about to slap Madeline.However, just as she lifted her hand, Ryan's father bestowed her a tight slap across the face."You're one hell of a shameless lady. You've committed such a crime, yet you’re still putting on an innocent look. You misled us to accuse another innocent person. I'm telling you, I'll cancel the wedding between you and Ryan. The Joneses will never accept such a lady like you as our daughter-in-law!"Ryan's parents were apoplectic with rage as they announced their statement publicly and left the scene while feeling exasperated.Karen stopped them and said with a stern ex
Madeline noticed a dark outline in her peripheral vision. She realized that the outline turned out to be a man, and she quickly hid.However, while she was trying to hide, she noticed that the man was Jeremy.Jeremy locked the door behind him and sauntered to the bedside where Madeline was breastfeeding the baby.His elegant face was calm while his deep-seated eyes looked lifeless as he stared coldly at Madeline.Madeline no longer tried to avoid him and faced the man who was walking toward her, her ears suddenly getting warm.“What brings you here, Mr. Zimmerman?” Despite greeting him as such, Madeline knew it well that he was Jeremy Whitman.Jeremy looked at Madeline’s lips. “You’ve made my woman unhappy. So, I’m going to make you feel miserable as well.”Madeline was holding on dearly to the baby, gently squeezing the baby’s little finger. However, given the current situation, she could not take action rashly.The baby in her arms widened his eyes, earnestly drinking milk wi
Madeline was not bothered about the attitude Jeremy had while dealing with her but was bothered that from the beginning to the end, he had never looked at the baby at all.‘That’s his biological kid, yet he didn’t even bother glancing at him.‘People used to say one will have a sense for their biological kid, but to him, it seemed like he didn’t sense anything at all.“Jeremy, perhaps your heart now only contains that lady, Lana, right?”Madeline let out a smile helplessly and went back to the incubator. Staring at the baby who was sound asleep, she felt rather bitter yet comforted in her heart.On the next day, Madeline did not obey Jeremy’s order to head over to the villa.She would not believe Jeremy would lose all his humanity and harm her kid. However, when afternoon arrived, she left the ward for a moment and when she was back, a nurse approached her anxiously. “Earlier when I came in, I saw a man coming out from here. When I headed over to look at the young master, I notic
Jeremy was about to exert more strength, but after hearing Madeline’s comment, his grip loosened.He stared at her cloudy eyes, and he was eventually lost in his thoughtsRight then, Madeline’s tears fell on the back of his palm. The temperature of her tears seeped through his skin, traveling all the way to the bottom of his heart. The warm sensation made him snap out of it and return to reality.“Stop treating me as your dead husband,” said Jeremy coldly as he released his grip.“Cough, cough.” Madeline choked and gasped after she was released.His grip on her neck earlier was indeed painful, but it was nothing compared to the disappointment she felt from his cold and heartless orbs.Despite what she was going through, Madeline remained fearless. “The person who you care most about right now is Lana, am I right? If anything were to happen to my kid, I’ll make sure she pays the same price too!”Jeremy looked at Madeline’s sharp gaze with a look of disapproval on him and chuckled
He grabbed Madeline’s chin and kissed her without giving her a chance to fight back. With his right hand, he violently tore her clothes apart before biting down on her shoulder, leaving a row of teeth marks.“Hiss.” Madeline frowned in pain.Jeremy stopped and looked at Madeline’s tenacious gaze.“Is this the weakness you’re talking about?” There was sarcasm in his voice. “Eveline, I’m not your husband, so I won’t accommodate you nor do I have the time to coax you patiently. It’ll be best if you listen to me. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers the most.”He left her with a threatening statement before removing himself from her.After Madeline heard the door closing, she remembered that Lana and Jeremy might have slept on this bed together before. Immediately, she felt disgusted and leaped out of the bed.She wanted to leave but could not open the door.Did Jeremy lock her up to slowly torment her?However, she just got the news that her child had been hurt by someone. As
He stood behind her while holding her hands in place, successfully trapping her.Madeline was slightly stunned for a moment. When she came back to her senses to fight back, she found that the man was restricting her movements.She could not win against his strength.She did not understand Jeremy’s behavior. Was he not with Lana?Why was he still doing all these to her?If Lana was also the one behind Jeremy’s odd behavior, then everything would make sense.However, when Madeline thought about this, she felt more repulsed.She bit Jeremy on his lips, making the man more aggressive. Suddenly, he picked her up and threw her on the bed.“Don’t try to run away. Before you do what I want you to do, you can only stay here. Do you hear me?”Madeline clenched her fists, and in the end, she could only unclench them without a choice. “I need to make a call. I want to know how my son is.”“I can give you a chance to know how your son is doing, but you have to listen to me.”There was a
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
