Judy chose to ignore it. At ten o'clock in the evening, when the last of the customers left, Avery asked, "Judy, aren't you going home? It's so late."Judy smiled and said, "Going back won't help me sleep, I slept too much during the day. I'll take a look at the accounts to kill some time."An hour later, Avery was still worried about Judy and came back to the office, "Judy, aren't you going home tonight?""You can go back, I'll wait a bit longer," Judy replied, not wanting to go home and see Serina.As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching the office.Because they were too familiar, Judy recognized the person coming as Lewis.Lewis stood at the office door with a serious expression.Avery sensed that something was wrong—had they argued?—and left quickly without interrupting.After Avery left, Judy pretended to focus on the accounts, but her mind was racing.Lewis, seeing that she wouldn't respond, walked over and picked her up from the sofa, carrying her out.
Lewis, from Judy's words, immediately knew that Serina had told Judy about his visit to the hotel the previous day, and had twisted the truth completely. However, seeing Judy's reaction, he realized that she had not been taken in, otherwise it would not have been as simple as ignoring him. Lewis stared at Judy, his eyes filled with a smile that held an unreadable meaning, making her feel uncomfortable."Do I have flowers on my face?" Judy asked, just as Lewis cupped her face with both hands and kissed her passionately, grinning with delight and saying, "I really didn't choose the wrong person. You're amazing, honey."He had agreed to Serina's unreasonable demand as a test for Judy. With his status and position, he would undoubtedly have countless women trying to seduce him. If a marriage lacked absolute trust, it would be as fragile as a piece of paper, easily torn apart."What are you doing, startling me like that?" Judy pretended to be disgusted and pushed him away, saying, "Spit."
After Judy returned to the room and changed her clothes, Lewis entered the room and closed the door behind him to draw a bath for her. In these details, Lewis was meticulous, which was why Judy trusted him so much.Lewis would even thoughtfully put rose petals in the bathtub and adjust the water temperature before announcing, "Judy, the bath is ready.""OK," Judy replied and went into the bathroom.He purposefully stood at the door of the bathroom, suggesting, "Why not take a bath together? It saves water."Judy poked his chest playfully, "What are you thinking? It would be you who suffers if we did."During the first three months of pregnancy, sexual activity must be prohibited to avoid any impact on the baby.Lewis sighed.Judy soaked in the bathtub for about ten minutes before getting up, wrapping herself in a bath towel and checking her reflection in the mirror, only to find her eyebrows a bit messy. She picked up the eyebrow trimmer to fix them.The trimmer was too sharp, and Jud
That night, Judy and Lewis slept well, but Serina couldn't sleep. She had taken her medication and was sitting up in bed, her mind filled with the sounds she had heard earlier, imagining the scene of Judy and Lewis "having sex".The next morning.Serina woke up early and, when she saw Lewis exercising in the yard, she changed into her exercise clothes and went outside."Good morning, Lewis," Serina greeted with a smile."Good morning," Lewis replied.Lewis asked, "How did you sleep last night?""Very well," Serina lied, "very secure."Lewis's lips held a hint of indifference: "I hope you can last for three months. If you can't, don't force it. Too much stimulation for heart attacks can be serious. Don't eavesdrop at the door; it's not good for your health."Serina: "..."Serina was embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping."I didn't mean to...""Serina." Lewis wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel and stared at her coldly, "I promised you to stay here for three months, but you also
After confirming the news of Judy's pregnancy, both the grandmother and Antonio were very happy.Antonio was very generous and gave Judy a card, "There is five million US dollars inside, use it to buy some nutritional supplements, Isabella's words may not sound pleasing, but she cares about you, and this money is what she asked me to give you."Judy knew that the money was not prepared by Isabella but by Antonio to ease their relationship and said this intentionally.Antonio was genuinely happy; he had previously worried that his son treated marriage as a joke, marrying so hastily, but now it seemed he had found true love and married so quickly.The three of them chatted and laughed, leaving Serina unable to join the conversation. She was also confused about Isabella's motives, as she had been asked to disrupt Judy and Lewis's relationship but was now so generous with money.With the child in her womb as a guarantee, who could easily shake her status?Daniel called Serina and was read
Antonio and Isabella failed to notice Philip's change. Antonio argued, "What enemy? How can you say that? Isabella, Philip in this situation now. Can't we just ignore him? Why begrudge a fool in such a big house?""Antonio, I think you've really lost your mind." Isabella chided, "You will regret it, birds of a feather flock together, and you will end up like your brother Bard, ungrateful.""You're going too far, Philip is Philip, Bard is Bard." Antonio defended, saying, "Anyway, Philip has to stay here, I can't just abandon him. If you can't stand it, I'll arrange for Philip to stay in the back house. That should be fine, right?""Whatever you want." Isabella didn't want to argue with Antonio over a fool, but she warned, "Make sure someone keeps an eye on him, don't let him cause trouble. He's not allowed in the front yard."Seeing Isabella agree, Antonio smiled, "Alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on him.""Philip, come with me to the back yard, take a bath, and change your cloth
Lillian's movements were quick, and her purpose was to check for a birthmark on Judy's waist. Startled by the sudden action, Judy reacted instinctively by quickly pulling down her clothes and taking a step back, her tone becoming a bit sharp: "Aunt Lillian, you don't need to help."Her tone contained a hint of annoyance.Because of Judy's quick reaction, Lillian didn't have time to see clearly whether there was a birthmark on her waist."I should still help you clean it up, I'm really sorry." Lillian was persistent and still wanted to have a look.Judy raised her hand to block, "No need, you eat first, I'll go to the restroom to clean up."Leaving these words, Judy quickly left the booth.When Lillian suddenly lifted her clothes, Judy thought Lillian wanted to hurt her unborn baby, and she was so scared that her heartbeat accelerated.In the restroom, Judy quickly cleaned the stains on her clothes, which she couldn't fully remove, but she had to make do for now.Judy washed her hands
Susan went to a baby store and bought some supplements for pregnant women, then went to a pharmacy to buy health products.After purchasing these items, Susan did not go directly to see Judy but instead called John, knowing that he was still at the law firm. She took a taxi there.John had just finished his work when Susan arrived: "Susan, why are you here, is there anything?"Now, whenever John saw Susan, he felt a bit worried because when Susan sought him out, it was never for something good."I bought some supplements for Judy and want you to pass them on to her." Susan said, handing the supplements to John: "She's pregnant, and I can't help much, so I bought her these supplements.""How did you find out?" John was suspicious.He remembered Lewis's instructions and knew that Susan held a grudge, so why would she be so kind as to send nutritional supplements?Judy's pregnancy was something neither Judy nor John had told Susan about, so how did Susan find out?"I... found out last ti
Serina subconsciously glanced at Lewis, who was standing in front of Judy's tombstone. Could it be for him?During these days, Lewis had been very quiet, and his daily routine was to perform the funeral rites for Judy and accompany her on her final journey.He no longer shed tears, but he also had no smile, as if he were just an empty shell.People lined up to offer flowers in their hands, stood in silence in front of Judy's grave for a few seconds, and then walked away, one after another. The funeral lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning.Lewis unexpectedly spoke, addressing his grandmother, "Grandma, let everyone go back. I'll stay here a little longer to keep Judy company."He hadn't spoken for a long time, and when Lewis finally did, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it had changed a bit.The grandmother's eyes were moist, and she nodded in agreement, asking Antonio to see the relatives and friends off.People gradually left, and in the end, only a few people, including Serena,
The helicopter arrived in Birmingham and landed in the backyard of Lewis's villa, where Lewis disembarked carrying the urn."Judy, we're home," he whispered softly, his tone gentle.The others also got off the helicopter, and Antonio, who had already received the news, had prepared a memorial hall at home.After a year, Judy finally returned, but in such a manner.Antonio was waiting at home, and it was only when he saw Lewis holding the urn and getting off the helicopter that he truly believed Judy had passed away, and what Isabella had said on the phone was true.Soon after,The news of Judy's death spread, shocking everyone. How could someone who was fine before suddenly pass away?In the eyes of outsiders, Judy was a person who had survived a shipwreck.Steven also received the news and quickly went to Lewis's house.A memorial hall was set up, with a coffin placed in the hall, and Judy's urn was placed inside the coffin.Lewis invited high monks to perform a funeral service for J
As Hannah said, even if it was a heart-wrenching pain, Lewis would still want to listen. He wanted to know what Judy experienced before her death.Hannah continued, "Judy was afraid of dying because she couldn't bear to leave you and Angel, but we did our best, and the doctors were helpless. She didn't want to die in the hospital; it seemed she was very averse to hospitals. After the doctor said there was no hope, she asked us to take her away, so I took her home, and she passed away in the attic room...""At that time, I promised her to fulfill her last wishes. She couldn't let go of you and Angel, so I went to your side, impersonated Judy, and took care of you and Angel in her place. But I couldn't do it, and in the end, I chose to make you dislike me, to give up on the marriage voluntarily."Hannah paused for a moment and gave a bitter smile, "Judy died when you loved her the most. You will never be able to let go of her for the rest of your life. Judy thought that if you didn't lo
Hannah was worried and wanted to find Lewis.She called the grandmother and only then learned that Lewis was hospitalized in the hospital next door.Taking advantage of the fact that neither Kim nor Guy were in the hospital, Hannah removed the IV needle from the back of her hand and was about to sneak out.However, just as she stepped out of the room, Kim returned from outside: "Sister, where are you going?""I..." Hannah stammered.Kim immediately guessed: "You want to find Lewis? I forbid you to go. You just had surgery. What are you going to do looking for Lewis? He already knows you're not Judy. If he gets angry and hurts you, what then?"Hannah said, "But I can't hide either. Lewis is ill, and everything is because of me. I should go. I owe it to Judy.""You don't owe anyone anything. Judy couldn't have been saved anyway. Even if you hadn't used Judy's heart, someone else would have," Kim said, "Anyway, I won't let you go.""Kim, why are you so heartless?" Hannah got angry, "Judy
Many children nowadays actually understand that the dead are buried beneath the graves.Angel opened her big eyes, which were clear and naive.Such a look, who wouldn't feel heartache upon seeing it?Lewis forced himself to sit up, leaning against the tombstone, his hand stroking it, not knowing how to explain to his daughter.Angel looked at Louis again, "Who is underneath this?"Louis really didn't know how to answer. He glanced at Lewis.Angel's gaze then shifted to Avery, wanting an answer from him.But no one had the heart to tell Angel such a cruel answer.Just when everyone found it hard to speak, Angel reached out her small hand to touch the tombstone and asked softly, "Is my mother buried here?"Angel's words shocked the three of them. How did Angel know?Could it be that there is truly a mother-daughter connection?Seeing that the adults were all silent, Angel suddenly burst into tears, "Mommy, it's mommy, I want my mommy."Angel cried her heart out, and Lewis held his daugh
When a person is at their most helpless and desperate, they hope for miracles, they wish for time to go back.The rain continued to fall, and the temperature at night was very low, so cold that it made people shiver.Lewis lay on the grave like a walking corpse, devoid of any vitality.Louis walked over with an umbrella and held it above his head: "Boss, don't do this. If Judy sees you like this from heaven, she will be upset."Lewis's eyes were open, but it was as if he couldn't see or hear anything. He didn't care about anything or listen to anyone. He just wanted to be closer to Judy by staying close to the grave.God couldn't hear his hysterical cries or see his heart-wrenching pain."Boss," Louis crouched down and persuaded him, "The rain is getting heavier, let's go back first."Lewis's eyes slightly shifted, finally finding a focal point: "Judy is afraid of the cold and the dark. I can't leave her alone here. I need to accompany her.""Boss, I know you're in a lot of pain, but
Isabella's face showed sadness, "Lewis definitely can't handle it. How can a person endure the loss of their loved one twice?"Isn't that like rubbing salt into a wound?"If he can get through this, then we won't have to worry in the future. But if he can't..." The grandmother didn't finish her sentence.Everyone knew the implications of what could happen....Cemetery.The dimly lit cemetery was quite eerie, and someone with a timid nature would probably be terrified to visit.The weather changed abruptly, and a light drizzle began to fall.Lewis, with Judy on his mind, stumbled towards Judy's tombstone after getting out of the car.There were only a few lamps in the cemetery, and one of them happened to be pointing in the direction of Judy's tombstone, making it easy for Lewis to find it at once."Judy, Judy!"Lewis was too eager and overwhelmed with grief. When he saw Judy's tombstone, the sorrow in his heart surged like a floodgate being opened, pouring out. He was walking too qui
The grandmother sighed, "Lewis found out about Judy's passing and couldn't bear the blow.""Lewis knows?" Serina was astonished, "And you all knew too?"Louis was surprised, "Serina, you knew about it early on?"Serina was among the first to know."Yes, Hannah told me before," Serina said, "I was worried that Lewis wouldn't be able to handle it, so I didn't dare to tell him. How did he find out?""Paper can't wrap up fire," Louis said, "Once Hannah fell and was hospitalized, it was impossible to keep it a secret.""Then when Lewis went out just now..." Serina immediately became worried, "What if something happens to him, or he gets the wrong idea?"Avery said, "He probably went to the cemetery to see Judy."The grandmother quickly said, "Louis, go to the cemetery right away and keep an eye on him. Don't let him do anything foolish.""Okay, grandma, don't worry, I'll go there now," Louis assured her.Louis and Avery went together.Serina took the grandmother back to the hotel first, wh
Lewis was emotionally out of control, looking at Hannah's face, he wished he could peel off her skin.That was the face of his wife.He wished he could dig out her heart, for it belonged to his wife.Hannah was unworthy, unworthy of possessing everything that belonged to Judy.If it weren't for this heart, how could he have been deceived and confused, mistaking Hannah for his wife? All the familiarity that Hannah gave him was because of this heart.Angel recognized Hannah as her mother, and that was also because of this heart.In Lewis's eyes, Hannah was the murderer, one of those responsible for Judy's death.Hannah did not defend herself; she knew that Lewis was in a state of rage and would not listen to anything.No one could accept such a thing.Lewis wanted to strangle Hannah, but looking at that face, he couldn't bring himself to do it; it was no different from killing Judy himself.The people outside the room couldn't see what was happening inside, but they could hear it.Reali
