Judy also found it strange that if Lillian really had a daughter, there would be no reason to hide it.Even if Lillian was a single mother, no one would have anything to say about it, as she had the ability to support her child.The fact that even Lewis didn't know about this made it even more peculiar.Judy said, "John told me that Lillian has a daughter. Lillian should have visited the orphanage I was at before. She went there to find her daughter.""If you're curious, I'll ask my mom later," Lewis said, "or I can ask Perona.""I was just curious."...The next day.Judy went to visit John at the hospital after having breakfast.When Judy arrived, Susan was taking care of John in the ward."Judy, you're here," Susan smiled and said, "I heard John was hospitalized, so I took a leave and I can take care of him here."John felt a bit embarrassed. He didn't want Susan to take care of him, but Susan said she needed to repay her debts of gratitude.Since Susan had already taken leave, Joh
Amelia had heard this kind of talk from Lillian before, and it wasn't the first time.Ever since Lillian returned from Europe, she had urged Amelia more than once to take over the company. Amelia had become numb and annoyed from hearing it so often.Amelia looked up at Lillian with drunken, drowsy eyes: "Aunt, even if my mom likes Judy, it's impossible for her to give Meike Group to Judy, you're really overthinking it. Stop trying to deceive me with this talk. It's not just you who's annoyed, I am too."Lillian could no longer hold back and said, "Amelia, listen to me carefully, you are not your mother's biological child. If you don't live up to expectations, once your mom finds out you're not her own, you'll be kicked out."Was Amelia really not Perona's biological child?This was some explosive news.Ellie quickly took out her phone and secretly recorded it.Amelia didn't take Lillian's words seriously and said with a smile, "Aunt, you're lying to me again. How could I not be my mom
Amelia was bluffed.Lillian had no husband, no children, and Perona's daughter had gone missing right after birth.So, it was quite reasonable for Lillian to find her and bring her back.If she didn't cooperate, Lillian could expose her identity and simply find another girl, claiming she was Perona's daughter.Amelia was at a loss, staring at Lillian for a long time, then she cried, "I'll listen to you, I'll always listen to you in the future, please don't tell my mom."She couldn't afford to lose her current identity.Seeing Amelia become obedient, Lillian heaved a sigh of relief: "Starting tomorrow, go to the company every day to learn. If you don't make progress, don't blame me for turning my back on you and replacing you."In order to pressure Amelia into growing up, Lillian did not acknowledge her; only when Amelia felt she had no support would she truly fight and strive for herself."I'll go to the company, and I'll study hard," Amelia promised."Come back with me," Lillian said
Lillian didn't stop Amelia and pretended she hadn't seen anything.Only after taking a paternity test would Amelia believe it, and that would be more conducive to the plan.Lillian had to push Amelia onto the position of heir before Perona discovered Judy's identity.......At the hospital,Judy came to visit John again.When she arrived at the hospital, she didn't see Susan and casually asked, "Where's Susan?"John replied, "She went out a while ago, probably to buy something, or something like that, I didn't ask."Judy sat down and said, "Has your mom come again after her last visit? They haven't caused any trouble, have they?"John, who was usually quiet and reserved, took a while to answer: "I rented a house for my mom and Zoey to stay in."Judy didn't know what to say at that moment.With Scarlett and Zoey settled, would Aaron and Andrew also insist on staying?All the suffering they had endured would be in vain, and everything they had done would be wasted.Afraid that Judy woul
Judy didn't stay either, as she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control her temper and might cause an unpleasant scene.Seeing Judy about to leave, John quickly called out, "Judy, I...""It's your choice," Judy said. "Take care of yourself and heal well."With that, Judy left.Susan commented, "Judy used to not be such a cold-hearted person, but now she seems to have no sympathy at all."Before, Susan also despised Aaron and his group, but now she stood by John's side.After the rift caused by that incident, Susan was very clear that Judy would always be on guard against her and that things would never go back to the way they were before.She could only look for opportunities through John.John said, "Judy has done so much for me, and it's my fault for not being worthy.""Judy will understand," Susan comforted. "Once you're discharged, just buy some gifts and apologize. Judy won't really be mad at you.""Susan, can you call the doctor for me? I want to be discharged today," John di
Susan hurried away and called Amelia back: "The opportunity has come. Can you get a different kind of medicine? This granule form is not very convenient. Something better would be a powder or liquid. As soon as possible, I need it tonight..."After making the call, Amelia immediately took action.At this moment, Judy was unaware of what was about to happen.That night, she had a nightmare that left her in a cold sweat.Judy woke up abruptly, and Lewis was right beside her: "Judy, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"Judy nodded.Seeing the cold sweat on her forehead, Lewis quickly got her some tissues and poured her a glass of water.Judy took a sip of water to calm herself down and touched her stomach: "I just dreamed that something happened to the baby. The baby asked me to save him; he was so uncomfortable, and then there was a lot of blood."She dared not recall the dream, still feeling shaken.Lewis held her shoulder and gently comforted her: "Don't be afraid. I'm here. It's
"No hurry, I'll wait for you," John said, "You go to the restroom first."Seeing that John did not leave, Susan felt frustrated. He wouldn't leave, and she couldn't switch the milk powder for pregnant women.Susan could only go to the bathroom first, staying inside for a while before coming out: "Let's go.""Okay," John walked in front.Susan carried the bag, unable to find an opportunity to switch it, so she just followed him out.John hailed a taxi, and Susan said, "John, you sit in the front, put all the things in the back seat, it'll be more convenient later."Susan got into the back seat first and placed the things on the seat. John directly sat in the passenger seat.The car started, and there was almost an hour's drive ahead.John made a phone call to Judy, asking if she was at home.The driver drove quietly, and Susan took advantage of John's phone call to discreetly take out a can of the same milk powder as John bought from her bag and put it into the bag John bought.Yesterd
Ellie took a glance at the trash can and reached in to take out the can of milk powder for pregnant women."Why did you throw this away? It's still new," she wondered.Upon closer inspection, she realized it was milk powder for pregnant women.Why would Susan buy milk powder for pregnant women and then throw it away?Ellie had just witnessed Susan and John getting into a car together, carrying many items.From a distance, Ellie couldn't see clearly what the items were, but the packaging seemed to be for gifting.Why did Susan decide not to go and throw away the milk powder halfway?Ellie glanced in the direction where John had left by car, curious about who the gifts were meant for.Ellie's main goal was to make Amelia pay the ultimate price for her parents, and she didn't care much about what Susan had done.At Royal Estate, the rain gradually stopped.John, carrying gifts, went to Judy's house to apologize and thank her.Judy wouldn't really be angry; she had just been busy and hadn
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
