"You didn't tell me anything because you're afraid that I would be heartbroken if you didn't survive the blood parasite removal, right?" Lisa asked, finally understanding his hesitation and silence.Terry didn't give her a direct answer. Instead, he said, "When I miraculously survived and all the blood parasites were finally removed from my body, what did I find waiting for me? It was you, in the hospital, planning to abort our baby. It was you who said you had no feelings for me anymore and would never love me anymore!"Each word felt like a painful blow to Lisa."I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." Lisa choked out, filled with remorse."There's no need to apologize. Even if you tell me that you love me now, it's already meaningless," Terry responded coldly.But Lisa's hand remained on Terry's cheek, refusing to let go."It's not meaningless. If I made your heart turn cold and lifeless, then I'll warm it up again. Terry, please, give me a chance. Just one chance!" Lisa pleaded desper
He instinctively resisted, refusing to even hear it! Terry ignored Lisa and proceeded to open the files on his desk, focusing on his work. Meanwhile, Lisa sat on the nearby sofa, placing the snacks she brought on the coffee table. She went to the water dispenser to pour herself a glass of warm water, then ate the snacks while browsing through parenting websites on her phone.In this unusual yet peaceful atmosphere, everything felt natural. Lisa stole glances at Terry, who was deeply absorbed in his work. At this moment, it felt like things had returned to the way they used to be.In the past, if he was busy when she visited him, she would relax on the sofa in his office, enjoying snacks and drinks. His office was always stocked with various snacks she enjoyed, to the point where she once playfully complained, "Look at me, I'm gaining weight. You always tempt me with the snacks in your office. I'm going to get fat.""What's wrong with that? Even if you get fat, I'll still love you,
Wait a minute... Lisa suddenly realized that her phone was not in her hand. She sat up abruptly. When she saw her phone on the coffee table, she let out a sigh of relief. However, she suddenly thought of something. She immediately grabbed her phone and opened the photo album to check...She almost choked on her breath from shock. Where were all the photos of him that were in her phone?! They're all gone! She was looking at them earlier before she fell asleep!Lisa, holding her phone, quickly walked up to Terry. "Did you delete the photos in my phone?" she questioned."I only deleted photos of myself. Don't I have the right to decide what to do with my own photos?" Terry calmly replied."You..." Lisa's eyes turned teary. "Do you have any idea...""All I know is that they’re all photos of me," Terry interrupted. "And also, I don't appreciate being disturbed when I'm working."Lisa was speechless. In the end, she silently sat back down on the sofa. She was initially happy when she
She was crying. Standing on the roadside, she kept wiping away tears from her face with one hand, while tightly gripping her phone with the other."Stop the car!" Terry shouted.The driver quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Terry immediately got out of the car and approached Lisa. "What are you doing here? Why..."His voice came to an abrupt halt when he saw her face as she looked up at him. Her eyes were red and filled with tears. The sight tugged at his heart."Waah!" Lisa suddenly raised her hands and pounded Terry's chest repeatedly.Terry grabbed her hands with a frown. "What's gotten into you? What happened?""They're gone! The photos... they're all gone! The phone repair shops all said the photos can't be retrieved anymore, they're completely erased!" Lisa sobbed. "Do you have any idea how important those photos are to me? How could you delete them?"Terry's frown deepened, his voice turning cold. "I already told you, those are my photos. I can do whatev
Because... that's their baby!He still cared about the baby after all!When the car arrived at the best maternity hospital in Jorvik, Terry carried Lisa out of the car. Inside the hospital, doctors and nurses were already waiting for them after receiving prior notification.Lisa was taken directly into the examination room for a check-up. Terry stood outside the room, still holding the phone that Lisa had been holding the entire time.He had no idea that she cared so much about those photos. She had actually spent the afternoon running around visiting phone repair shops to try retrieving the photos.They're her memories?Terry didn't know how to feel about that.Suddenly, the phone rang. The caller ID was "Mom."After a moment of hesitation, Terry answered the phone. "Auntie Hersha? This is Terry."Lisa's mother on the other end of the phone sounded surprised. "You... Why are you the one answering the phone? Where's Lisa?""She's feeling a bit unwell, so I brought her to the
When Terry returned to the White family mansion, he saw his mother, whom he had not seen for a long time, in the living room. She was elegantly dressed, adorned with expensive jewelry, as if she wanted everyone to know that she was now the mistress of the White family.Their relationship was not exactly good or bad; they were more like partners than family. She gave him life and fed and housed him, investing time and effort into his upbringing. Even when the family's main branch tried to get rid of him, she fiercely protected him. It could be said that she played a significant role in his rise to power.However, his mother only saw him as a tool to improve her own status. She had no real affection for his father. In the pursuit of a wealthy life, she chose to become his father's mistress. Of course, her ambitions didn't stop there; that's why she worked hard to conceive him and raise him.When he was young, his mother often told him, "You're a child of the White family. Just lik
The plan her son came up with to deal with the Hart family was so meticulous, every element was intricately connected. When she later found out about it, she was shocked. She never imagined that her son could devise such a grand scheme to take down the Hart family. Her son had grown even more calculative with time. Fortunately, he was her son, so there was no reason for her to be afraid. All she had to do was reap the benefits."Is that all, Mom? Because I'd like to go to bed early," Terry said, massaging his temples.He did look exhausted, Glynnis thought. "Alright, go get some rest. Your birthday is coming up soon. I've organized a birthday party for you and invited many prominent individuals from the city. Make sure you don't be late."Her son had recently ended his relationship with Monica Hart, and the White Maple Group had successfully acquired most of the Hart family's businesses. In the past, she had to feign smiles for the Hart family, but now, she could finally stand t
In the wee hours of the morning, the nurse was startled by the sound of the door opening. Momentarily frozen, she saw a tall figure enter the room."Excuse me, sir, what...""Please step outside for a moment. I wish to be alone with her," Terry cut her short."But..." the nurse hesitated."I'm Terry White," he said.The nurse was taken aback. Terry White? The person who arranged this job for her had instructed her to be careful when she cared for the pregnant woman because the person hiring her was the CEO of the White Maple Group. She knew that the CEO of the White Maple Group was Terry White. This was her first time seeing him in person.Silently, the nurse left the hospital room, gently closing the door behind her.Terry gazed at the sleeping Lisa whose face was illuminated by the moonlight seeping through the window. Her serene expression seemed to calm the restlessness in his heart."Lisa, how much do you truly love me? How much of what you said was true?" Terry murmured
