'What is going on? Is that Mr. Valor? But what is he doing here? This is an antenatal class for expecting parents! Is Mr. Valor joining the lesson?'Mr. Aston blinked, trying to confirm whom he had just seen. Was this real?"What's wrong with you? Why are you blinking so much?" Mrs. Aston asked in confusion."I-It's nothing!" Mr. Aston squeaked, scrambling to an empty seat. He never expected to see Mr. Valor here. Not many people could stay calm in this situation! Mr. Aston quickly led his wife to the row behind Jackson. He then took a close look at the man sitting in front and realized… Indeed, it was Mr. Valor. He seemed to be accompanying the woman next to him.The woman next to Mr. Valor wore a loose-fitting dress. ‘She must be pregnant,’ Mr. Aston thought. 'Who is she? A relative? She can't be his wife! Mr. Valor is married? If that's the case, the news will be media headlines!'Serenity had even brought her notebook. She was planning on taking important notes from the clas
"Anyone else? Any volunteers?" The nurse asked before walking to Jackson. "Hey, Handsome, why don't you come up here and give it a try?"Jackson was the exquisite beauty and eye-catching one among the group of expectant fathers. He attracted a lot of attention, including the nurse. The nurse wanted to get Jackson on stage, hoping to see more of this handsome man.Dr. Ryleigh who was on the stage was shocked by the nurse's bold action! The nurse was trying to get Mr. Valor on stage, but this was not something he would do!Surprisingly, Jackson did not immediately reject it and instead turned to Serenity, who was sitting beside him. "Do you want me to go up there?""Would you?" Serenity asked in reply."If you want to see it, I'll do it for you," Jackson said.Serenity looked at the man in a neat suit. To be honest, she wanted to see what he would look like with a baby in his arms!Serenity nodded expectantly. "I want to.""Alright, then!" Jackson rose to his feet with a smile. A
Serenity needed to receive the injections daily for the next few days. However, she did not have to go to the hospital daily. Jackson had already arranged for the nurse to give her the injection at home, which made things a lot easier for her.The pain gradually increased as the frequency of the injection increased. There were often marks on the area on the stomach around the location of the injection, which looked a little scary.At night, Jackson looked at Serenity's slightly bruised stomach with pain in his eyes. "Why don't I talk to the doctor? Maybe something else can be done instead of injections.""No, it's fine. The doctor would've told us if there was a better way," Serenity said. "Besides, it looks a little scary, but it's not that terrible. Many pregnant women have it worse than me. Those who're going through IVF have to receive multiple injections from the start of the pregnancy until the baby's birth."Jackson fell silent. Serenity had been receiving the injection for
Jackson was surprised to hear about Clara's change of mind."Clara said Yanny would have a better future with Wilson. She didn't want to involve him in adult issues. But it's not like there haven't been problems before, and Clara never had the intention to give up custody at that time."Serenity had a feeling that something had happened and made Clara change her mind. Besides, Wilson was going to marry Sandra Cooper. How could Clara entrust her child to the woman who had harmed her?"But there's nothing wrong with her decision. Letting Wilson have Yanny is indeed the best for the child. It's better than her raising the child," Jackson analyzed. "Besides, her chances of winning have always been very slim.""It isn't the end of the lawsuit yet. We can't conclude so quickly. Besides, you're helping me now. Maybe things will become clearer once we find the doctor in charge back then!" Serenity said. "I can't leave it be. I'm going to find Clara!""It's very late now!" Jackson stopped
Clara followed Wilson into the living room of the hotel suite. Only then did he stop and turn around, glaring coldly at her as he asked, "So, you're saying you'll agree to my request? Why? Do you intend to give up fighting for Yanny's custody now?""Yes." The word came softly out of Clara's lips, but as she said it, she felt as if it shook the core of her soul.The word "yes" made Wilson frown. It would indeed save him a lot of time and effort if Clare would give up her fight for their son's custody. He should be happy hearing this from her, yet for some reason, he felt no pleasure at all at the moment."Are you really giving up the fight for custody?" he asked, narrowing his eyes and staring at her with his sharp gaze."Isn't that exactly what you wish for?" she responded with a bitter smile. "Although I do hope that you can promise me two things."It hurt him exceedingly to see that bitter smile of hers, but he still sat down on the couch in a leisurely manner and said, "Okay,
"This is my life, Wilson. It's none of your business! All I want is for you to promise me these two things and I'll give up my custody over Yanny to you!"Clara stepped away from Wilson, desperate to keep a distance between them."Since Yanny is nothing to you but a burden, then why should I wait for three more months? I can just take him away right now!""No!" She screamed the word in such a shrill voice that it sounded as if someone had just tried to kill her. "Wilson, I'm only asking for three more months! Can't you even give me the chance of being with him for three more months?""Three months?" He sniggered. " Since you don't want your son anymore, then what's the point of delaying it for three more months?She bit her lips hard, and after a moment of silence, she told him, "If you won't give me three more months, then… I won't give up my custody rights to you."He stared at her as if he had suddenly thought of something and asked her, "Did you run to me with all these reque
"No…" she tried to reply with visible difficulty. "Nothing…"It had been mere minutes, but her face had turned as white as a sheet of paper, and it was clear from her expression that she was enduring a torturous pain.Seeing her like that almost made him panic."I'll take you to the hospital," he offered."No!" She grabbed his arm and clutched at it so tightly that he even started to feel the pain. Then, with strenuous effort, she continued, "I'm fine. It's just an old sickness of mine. It'll be… It'll be gone in a minute. Will you promise to give me what I… asked you earlier?"He stared at her. An old sickness? When did she start having such a sickness? He did not remember her in such a state before back when they were together. Or did the sickness start when she was in prison?"Will you… Will you promise me?"She asked him that question again, almost as if it was a question that she must hear the answer to no matter what happened.His dark eyes were fixed on her. After a long
"What on earth happened, Clare? Why did you suddenly decide to give up on your custody rights?""The chances of me winning have always been very slim, anyway," Clara explained, "and besides… you know how it is. Right now, the only way I know how to make a living is through the food stall. I can't earn much money. Yanny will need more and more money for a different host of things as he grows up. If he stays with me, he won't be able to get into a good school, and I won't have any spare money to take him to hobby classes, not to mention how I'll only be able to afford poor food and clothes for him.""But I can provide Yanny with everything that he needs!" Serenity hastily interrupted. "I love Yanny! He's like a godson to me!""Thank you, Serenity."Clara forced a smile and added, "You've helped me enough, although… If Yanny doesn't have his father, perhaps I would've accepted your help. But seeing that his father is perfectly capable of providing him with a good life, I'll just let h
