After Dorothy finished drinking water, she paused for a long time before she returned the empty cup to Credence. She closed her eyes slowly and said in a hoarse voice, "Credence, you can leave now. I don't want to see you right now." Once she saw him, she would be reminded of how he ignored her unwillingness and forcefully tried to send her and Belle away. She would think of how she tripped over a suitcase and landed on her abdomen. She had almost lost her child because of that. If it weren't for God's blessing, both her and the child in her womb might not be able to survive this time. If that happened, not even the terminally ill Belle would be able to survive. When she looked at the man who had almost indirectly taken her life, she was really scared and disappointed in him. In the end, she was still too silly. She mistook Credence's occasional gentleness as a sign that he really loved her, and she was slapped in the face by that. That was why she felt so bitte
Around 11 o'clock in the morning, Credence was sent to Scott Group's office building by the captain of the bodyguards from the hospital. As soon as he got off the car, he saw Benjamin, who had been waiting at the gates of the building for a long time. Benjamin ran to him in a hurry. There was a faint trace of worry on his calm face. "Mr. Scott, Melanie reached here before nine o'clock. She was so skillful that our security department couldn't stop her at all. We could only follow her as she barged into your office.' "From the looks of it, she might be here with some bad intentions this time. Mr. Scott, you must be careful." Credence's face was cold and indifferent. It was so calm that there were no wrinkles on his face. He nodded and said, "I know." In the car, he changed into a custom made high-grade tailored suit which was pure black in color. It was simple and did not have many accessories. When Credence wore it, he seemed colder than usual. Apart from
Credence was welcomed with a delightful scene of a man and a woman making love. The woman's fair and soft body could be seen, and she was only wearing a thin and transparent dress. Her snow white skin was smoother than jade. The most beautiful scene was exposed to the camera, as well as the man f*cking her. Her hands were so soft that it seemed like she did not have any bones. Her beautiful eyes were half-closed, and there was a faint blush of intoxication on her little face. As for the man, his thin and strong chest was exposed, and only half of his face was revealed. His thin lips were raised, and his deep eyes seemed to be immersed in a raging flame. His gaze fell on the woman's red lips and his breath was rapid. Credence could tell at once that the man in the video was himself, and the woman there was Dorothy. The background of the video was the small guest room where Dorothy used to live when she was in the Fisher family's villa. That was the only tim
Dorothy spoke in a very low voice. However, Juelz, who was standing by the corridor, miraculously heard all of it, and he heard it clearly, too. He wanted to rush in immediately, but he was stopped by the bodyguards at the door. He was furious and said, "Dory is awake. I want to go in and see her. Get out of my way, all of you, f*ck off!" After yelling, he held Belle in his arms and ran straight inside. These dutiful bodyguards were afraid of harming Belle, thus they had no choice but to let Juelz enter with large strides. The captain of the bodyguard's face turned cold as he stared at Juelz's furious back. He walked over to the other side, called Benjamin and told him about the overall situation. On the other end of the line, Benjamin said that he understood and would let Mr. Scott know as soon as possible. ...... Juelz held Belle tightly in his arms and quickly passed through the hall of the outer room. He reached the inner room and gently pu
Benjamin walked into the office with a steaming hot meal. He went straight to Credence and said, "Mr. Scott, you have been working for more than five hours in a row. You should eat something." Credence put down the black pen in his hand and glanced at the bag of food. He realized that it was a delicious set of food from a restaurant that Dorothy liked very much. His eyes darkened and he nodded slightly. His voice was like a machine, he said in a hoarse voice, "Put it there first. I will eat it later." He received a call from the captain of the bodyguards and was told that Dorothy and Belle had left the hospital with Juelz. She did not even look back once during the whole process, as if she was very eager and excited to leave. What could this possibly mean? It meant that she found it extremely hard to forgive the physical and mental pain he had caused her this time. If she'd been the only one harmed, then she might still forgive him because she loved him.
"Germaine, I'm fine. It's better this way, it's really great!" Even though her heart was constantly hurting, Dorothy's pale face still shone with a smile. But when Germaine saw her smile, she could tell that it was a forced smile. She wanted to comfort her, but she knew that no comforting words would work right now. The only people who could work through the pain were the victims themselves. Nobody could truly put themselves in others' shoes, and no one could bear the pain on their behalf. It was like the time when she was cruelly whipped by Jeremy. Apart from gritting her teeth and slowly letting time heal her, no one else could help her. "Dory, you have to be fine, for the sake of Belle and the child in your womb! It's just a man. Without Credence, you'll definitely be able to find yourself plenty of others. For example, Juelz's feelings for you are as strong as ever. Maybe you can consider him? "Germaine, don't make jokes like this again in the fu
Dorothy lay on the bed, and she was facing Belle with a soft smile on her face. She was reading comic books with her. She was enjoying herself. However, after being blamed by Leilani for no reason, she was not furious, but she was still somewhat unhappy. More importantly, that odd terror rose in her heart once more. She did not know what Credence gave her newly reconciled mother, however, it should be enough for her to put in so much effort to put in a good word for Credence. Dorothy put down the comic book in her hands and gestured for Belle to read it on her own for a while. After that, she turned to stare at the righteous Leilani, smiling faintly as she said, "Mom, you don't know anything about Credence and I. The pain and suffering he's given me can't be forgiven with just a simple coaxing. I can't just pretend it never happened. I can forgive some mistakes, however, some mistakes are just unforgivable, and I can't bring myself to do it." Leilani snorted. Sh
Juelz didn't mean anything by it, but Dorothy took it seriously. Dorothy's heart skipped a beat when she heard Juelz's grumbling words. Although Leilani thought of herself as Dorothy's mother, she did not feel much affection from her at all. At first, Dorothy thought that it was because she had not seen Leilani for a long time, thus she could not get enthusiastic towards her. She would even feel somewhat distant from her. However, Juelz's words made her think deeper. What if, what if she was really not related to Leilani at all? However, Dorothy immediately remembered that Credence once asked Jonathan to help her and Leilani do a DNA test, and the results came back positive. If so, what went wrong? Dorothy frowned, she could not help but speak out her thoughts, "Juelz, you are not the only one with doubts. In truth, I have those doubts, too. As a mother myself, I would want nothing more than to give Belle and my unborn child the best of the bes
Dorothy and the group didn't buy plane tickets. Instead, Credence used his insane wealth to charter a private jet for them to fly straight to Monticello. Ten hours later, Dorothy and the others arrived at a warm city in the south of Monticello from Talco City, where the north wind whistled past. When she got off the plane, Dorothy felt dizzy. Credence held her in his arms as he gently guided her forward. When she turned around, he saw Yezoo's kind smile, as well as Ysabelle's cold, fake smile. Dorothy suddenly felt uneasey. She lowered her head, pulled back her hair that was hanging from her ear, and asked Credence, "If we really expose her true intentions, do you... do you think that my father... wouldn't be able to accept it?" After getting along with each other for the past few weeks, Dorothy could tell that Yezoo really loved Ysabelle wholeheartedly. He didn't detest her for having worked in nightclubs before this. She concluded that Yezoo was very att
Dorothy looked at Ysabelle, who was standing by the door. She had a bad feeling. She felt that Ysabelle gave off a different vibe compared to Yezoo's kindness. This seemingly noble lady may be her biological mother, but she still felt that something was off about her for some reason. Credence noticed that Dorothy's expression had suddenly soured. He followed her gaze and saw Ysabelle standing with a group of ladies. He immediately pushed the wheelchair to the door and spoke politely but in a somewhat distant manner, "Ysabelle, how long have you been there?" "Not long! Credence, as you can see, Yezoo has hired these nannies for Dorothy. I'm here to see if you need anything else." Ysabelle smiled. The smile on her face was somewhat ambiguous. "I have already arranged for some other people to take care of my wife!" Credence frowned and continued, "However, I've yet to call them over for the time being because Dorothy is still weak." "Well, since you 've already arr
Dorothy recognized this woman who had a sexy body and a pleasant face. She had a good impression of Minnie. She heard Credence mention her a few times from time to time. It seemed like Jonathan was pursuing her. She didn't know how that was going. However, seeing as Jonathan liked to tease Minnie and call her names, she guessed he had little to no chance of winning her over at all. Dorothy slowly turned her head and looked outside the door. She said softly, "I'm fine. I don't need your help right now. My child was only three pounds heavy when he was born. I want to know how he's doing now, and my daughter as well. Her name is Belle. Yesterday, she had a bone marrow transplant operation. The doctor told me that the operation was successful, but I fainted after giving birth to my baby. I don't know how my daughter is doing." Minnie hadn't slept all night. Not only was she looking after Dorothy, she had a hunch that Dorothy would ask these questions right after she woke
Jonathan had a hunch about what was going on. He had been following Credence closely. He stared at Credence's every move with his burning eyes, waiting for the first sign of his weakening. The special drug from Monticello that had been injected into him would last for five hours at most. Credence's body was strong enough to hold on until now. He was able to last for the full five hours. At that moment, Jonathan saw Credence's hands slowly let go of the bed's railings. He was falling backward, Jonathan quickly ran towards him like a gust of wind. He frowned and supported Credence's back. "Credence, hold on, you need to hold on! You mustn't be a cause of concern right now. Dorothy has just given birth. She's so weak that a gust of wind is enough to make her collapse. If she still needs to worry about you, how long do you think she'll last?" The moment he made contact with Credence, Jonathan keenly examined his hands. Credence's muscles and bones seemed to be falling apa
"What's the matter? Why isn't the baby crying?" Dorothy's voice was hoarse, and she looked very worried. She remembered when Belle was born, she wasn't as quiet as this. Her cries were so loud it almost caused the delivery room to collapse. When they heard her loud cries, almost everyone assumed that Belle was a naughty little boy. Instead, she was an adorable and naughty girl. Perhaps she had suffered too much pain and torment when she divorced Credence, and all that despair had affected her in the womb. As a result, when Belle was born, her body was in a poor condition, and she often had to go to the hospital for medicine and infusions. Later, she was diagnosed with leukemia. Fortunately, in the end, Jeremy was kind enough to hand Rosalie, who had matching bone marrow to Belle's, over to them so that they could save her life. Dorothy was elated at the thought that Belle was going to recover. Since Belle's illness could be cured, this little b
Inside the delivery room, Dorothy was given an anesthetic. However, she didn't know whether it was because her nerves were too thick or if the anesthetic didn't have much of an effect on her body. She was still very conscious, and she could very clearly feel the pain. Her stomach felt heavy and was in extreme pain. She felt as though the injection was given to someone else and not her. After struggling for over an hour, she was in so much pain that she had almost turned mad, her mind was in a chaotic state. Her face was as pale as a piece of paper, and she was lying on the delivery bed with sweat all over her body. Her breathing was weak. Sometimes she could breathe properly, sometimes it was difficult. The smell of blood lingered in the air. The attending female doctor continued to cheer her on, "Mrs. Scott, the child hasn't come out yet. Hold on, hold on for a little while longer." Dorothy nodded. As soon as she responded, she suddenly felt her stomach b
When she saw a familiar man rushing inside, Dorothy, who was sweating profusely, and was in so much pain that her vision had gone blurry, thought that she was dreaming. Her pale lips trembled greatly, and her eyes were dull as she looked straight ahead. "Credence, why, why are you here? Your injuries..." Before she fainted, she clearly remembered hearing Jonathan shouting loudly at him, telling him that his body was on the verge of collapse. Where was his wheelchair? Why wasn't anyone helping him push his wheelchair in? He should have gone back to his wheelchair, but why was he suddenly standing in front of her again with such a straight and domineering posture? Dorothy's heart became anxious. She was worried about Credence's body, as well as the child in her womb. Her face turned extremely pale as if she had been thrown into an ice cellar. Her entire body was cold. She was wrapped in two thick quilts as she dealt with the immense pain and shivering cold. The te
Credence raised his hand and massaged his stiff neck. He held that posture for a long time as he stared at the white wall that was connected to the delivery room. His neck was as stiff as a board. It felt numb, sore, and was quite painful. But the pain was nothing to him. He could tolerate it. But on this day, the strain from the gruesome rehabilitation training had begun to spread from his arms to his thighs, torso, and gradually, his entire body. It felt like his muscles were being stabbed with a knife. It was so painful that he, a man who used to train in the special forces, almost couldn't bear it. It was especially painful now that he was standing firmly beside Dorothy as they waited for Belle's bone marrow transplant surgery to end. At 6:30 in the morning, he forced Jonathan to inject him with a stimulant. It was an extremely strong one that could revert his body back to a normal state for a short period of time. However, there were certain rules to
Germaine grabbed the frame of the door and slowly walked out of the toilet. Her face was pale and her body was covered in a cold sweat. She looked like she had just stepped out of a swimming pool. She was wet and sticky all over. During the past month, she had been so worried about Dorothy and Belle's health. She hadn't eaten or slept well for several days, which caused her to have stomach pain and constipation. Every time she went to the toilet, she would be constipated for over half an hour. She tried out all kinds of solutions such as holding her breath, which nearly cost her life. A while ago, while she was waiting outside Belle's operating room, she felt unbearable pain in her stomach and rushed to the bathroom. After over half an hour of torment, she was finally done. Just as she was about to pull up her trousers and leave, she heard someone walk in with high-heels. Then, the woman who walked in closed the door and made a phone call. As soon as the woman s
