‘But could it be one of them?’ Without any evidence, Yvonne naturally did not dare to accuse anyone, so she just shook her head.

Since the police officers did not get anything from Yvonne, they left the ward after asking Yvonne a few more questions.

Yvonne saw the police off and met Jackson at the elevator who had come in a hurry. "Yvonne, I heard something happened to Leo."

"Yeah."

"What's the situation now?"

"The situation is how it is," Yvonne replied simply.

"Can I go see him?"

"That's not necessary." Yvonne rejected. "Mr. Miller, I think you ought to spend your time with your fiancée.”

When she said the word ‘fiancée’, the expression on Jackson's face changed. Yvonne pretended to not see the uncomfortable look on his face. "As a man, you have to be responsible. Secretly meeting up with your ex-wife behind your fiancée’s back is going to make everyone involved look bad when the news gets out. Perhaps you don’t care about your reputation, Mr. Miller, but I do! So to keep my

    Yvonne was annoyed at the sight of Jackson and started yelling before he had a chance to say anything, "Miller, what the hell do you want from me?""Yvonne...""Don’t you know how annoying it is to see you show up here every day like this? Don’t you know that I almost lost my son because of your shameless pestering?""Yvonne, what happened to Leo was an accident...""An accident? Who told you it was an accident? Jackson, your mother was the one behind all of this! Your mother got someone to take my son away to try and threaten me!""My mother did it? How is that possible?""Why is that impossible? Your mother has come to me and threatened me several times before. An evil woman like her will go to the extent of doing anything!”"If my mother really did it, I’ll give you an explanation." Jackson assured."I don't want an explanation from you, Jackson! I beg you, please let me and my child go! I can't afford to provoke your family, I really can't, so please just let me live my lif

    "You’re right, I can't lord over everyone, but at least I can lord over you." Jade sneered. "Of course, if you don't care about the safety of your own son, you can try me!""Jade, what goes around comes around. You’ll be punished for your evildoings.”"I'm not afraid of retribution! I can do anything for the sake of my son's happiness!" Jade did not care. "Mark my words, don't mess with Jackson again or don't blame me for being cruel! I’ll do anything for my son!"Jade left arrogantly, and Yvonne stood in a daze downstairs.Jade was not just threatening her. As she had said, if she wanted to take Yvonne down, it would be easy. Most importantly, Yvonne had her son with her and knew she could fight with someone like Jade head-on because she had her son to think about.Yvonne stood there for a long time when an arm suddenly went around her shoulder. "What are you doing standing here alone at this late hour?"Yvonne turned around and saw Zachary standing beside her with a smile on hi

    ‘What’s happening? Why does she look so happy?’"Yvonne, you look so pretty when you smile, so please smile more from now on!" Zachary greedily stared at Yvonne's pretty face. ‘This is the Yvonne I know. This is the woman I want. Beautiful, but not naive.’ When Zachary thought about how he would be able to see such a beautiful smile every day in the future, he was very happy."That also depends on your performance. If I'm not happy, how can I smile?”"I'll make you happy, then."The car stopped downstairs and Wesley greeted her with Leo. "Mommy!" Leo threw himself into Yvonne's arms and got some attention from her for a while before he ran to Zachary."Uncle Quimby!""Call me ‘Daddy’!" Zachary looked at him while Leo looked at Yvonne. When he saw her smile, he called out sweetly, "Daddy!""Good boy!" Zachary lifted Leo above his head and Leo giggled. "Higher! Higher!"Wesley was happy too. "Dinner's ready, let's eat!"While they were eating, Wesley mentioned Leo going to kinde

    When it was 11 o’clock at night, Zachary finally reluctantly left Yvonne's house. When Jackson saw Zachary’s car leaving, he moved his car out of the shade and followed it.‘I can't go on like this! Waiting at the same spot at the same time every day is too excruciating and it isn’t going to change anything.’ While Jackson drove, he kept thinking about things. He had already revealed the news to the Quimby family, so why had the Quimby family not taken any action?‘Are they really going to let Zachary marry a divorced woman with a child?’ After thinking about it, he shook his head. Although Zachary had a bad reputation, he had always been favored by the old master. What concerned the old master the most was a marriage between families of equal social status. ‘No matter what, he’ll never agree to it, so where did I go wrong?’Jackson was confused. Meanwhile, in the Quimby family’s manor in the United States, the old master was holding two iron balls in his hands while lying on the ga

    "They’re afraid that I might worry? Hah!” The old master sneered. "I’m even more worried if they don’t say anything to me.”"Old Master, you ought to think about how to deal with Young Master Zachary’s matter first.”"What can I do? I’m also at a loss!" The old master rubbed the space between his brows. "You know what Zach is like. The more you try to stop him from doing something, the more he’ll do it. I think we should ignore this matter for now. She’s just a divorcee with a child who’s a little more beautiful than other women. I’m sure a popular star will have more allure than her, so let’s just observe for some time before doing anything.”The next day at noon, after Zachary and Yvonne came back from lunch, an unexpected visitor came to the office. The visitor seemed to have traveled a long way. When Zachary saw the visitor, his smile turned into a frown. "What are you doing here?""I came to see you.""You came here to see me? Did you hit your head or something?” Zachary snee

    "Nothing." Zachary calmed himself down and looked at Yvonne. After that, he felt a little better and said, "That man just now is my father, but I don't recognize him as my father."Yvonne froze and was about to say something when Zachary got up. He walked to the window to light a cigarette, his handsome face clouded with gloom.Each family had its own problems. After being with Zachary for so long, she had never heard him mention his family.The first time his father showed up, it caused such a tense atmosphere. It was true that rich families had secrets as big as the sea, and for some reason, Yvonne felt bad for Zachary.After Gordon's appearance, Zachary was in a bad mood all day. Even Yvonne did not dare to bother him, so she just returned to her office. When it was time to get off work, Felix entered Yvonne's office carrying a beautifully designed package."This the gown that Mr. Quimby bought for you. Go ahead and try it on.”"Why did he suddenly spend money to get a gown fo

    Ella was wearing a pink gown. Her fair skin looked like snow in contrast to her pink dress, while Jackson stood tall and graceful. The two of them made a stunning couple.When Jackson saw Zachary and Yvonne walking toward him hand in hand, his eyes narrowed slightly. Zachary was wearing a black suit with no tie and the same colored shirt. Two of his buttons were carelessly yet deliberately unbuttoned, revealing the silver chain around his neck. His other hand was in his pocket.A long and slender arm was linked around his arm and Jackson's gaze slowly followed the arm to see Yvonne dressed in a purple gown. It had a long hem that dragged across the floor.The fine diamonds on the hem of the gown shone with a glittering light while her long black hair that was without any accessories was draped over her shoulders.She looked just like an angel that had come down to earth with her clear and bright pupils, arched eyebrows, long eyelashes that faintly fluttered, fair and flawless skin

    Yvonne felt like saying something just for the sake of it. “You aren’t allowed to touch me. I’ll take some food for you!” Jackson paid attention to Yvonne’s actions from the corner of his gaze. He felt extremely displeased after catching sight of this scene. Therefore, he walked over with Ella and said, “You won’t mind us sitting here, right?” Zachary’s smile did not reach his eyes. “I don’t mind. Please sit, President Miller!” Yvonne came back with the plate of food. Zachary took the plate from her and said, “You got all of my favorites. Thank you, my love! Let me give you a kiss!” His words were so cheesy that Yvonne almost threw the food at him. Jackson’s expression darkened as Ella obediently got up and told him, “Jackson, I’ll take some food for you too.” Ella quickly took some food and came back. Yvonne glanced at the food that Ella had placed in front of Jackson. They were all his favorite foods! A mocking glint appeared in her eyes. Jackson’s lover knew his pref

    Jackson had to run back and forth as he had to take care of Yvonne while checking on Leo’s condition. He was most concerned about his son, although the cord blood had been successfully transplanted into his body but it was not guaranteed that everything would be fine. The doctor informed Jackson that after the cord blood was transplanted into Leo's body, he still needed to pass through the infection barrier, reposition in the body, and the rejection barrier before it could truly be considered as a successful transplant.The rejection stage might be the most difficult to overcome. The rejection reaction may occur at any time such as fever, vomiting, and difficulty in eating, diarrhea, etc. Leo had to receive medical treatment according to his condition, along with his cooperation. Once he was fully recovered, he would be sent to the general ward after 3-4 weeks.Jackson would visit his son every hour. Due to the uncertain factors, he was extremely anxious but he could not show even

    The heart-wrenching scene finally drew to a close. The umbilical cord blood transfusion was successfully completed and Leo’s heart rate returned to normal—everything seemed to have fallen back into place. Jackson could feel the weight of a boulder lifted off his chest.As soon as the doctor walked out of the transplant chamber, Jackson stepped forward and took his hand, showering him with words of gratitude.All this while, Yvonne had been trying her best to stay awake. She was dying to hear of Leo's condition post-operation, but ultimately gave in to the anesthesia and drifted off. She felt utterly drained and all she could hear was a gentle whisper by her ear—it was Jackson. “Yvonne, don’t fret,” he said, “Our child will be just fine. Rest without a worry, my dear; when you wake up, all will be well.”And so she slept. She slept for a long period of time and did not even realize that she was wheeled into the ward. In her deep slumber, she could vaguely hear familiar voices, many o

    Fiona and Pearlie were about to slip away after beating her until she miscarried. However, they did not expect to see the police standing in front of the door, both of them were then arrested and the pregnant lady was also carried out. The two realized in shock that the lady was not Yvonne, but a random stranger. “What’s happening?” Fiona pointed at the pregnant lady as she asked Donavan in a hysterical scream. “What do you mean by what happened? Didn’t you ask me to kidnap this woman?” Donavan asked.“You… How dare you deceive me?” As matters stood, Fiona had realized that she got fooled. However, it was too late for her to turn things around as the police had charged both of them for kidnapping and murder. Section 239 of the Criminal Law prescribed a minimum of 10 years of penalty in prison or life imprisonment for the crime of kidnapping for the purpose of extorting money. Furthermore, kidnapping another person as a hostage would either result in a fine or confiscation of pro

    Yosef and Ella’s engagement was being announced and Pearlie who was in the States obviously knew about it also. Hearing that Ella was Yvonne’s sister, she felt even more uneasy. ‘Yvonne is gone but now we have Ella? Did I get lured into this?’As Pearlie was still reeling from the news, something worse happened. Under the pressure of the Quimbys’, Pearlie’s parents made the move to terminate the marriage agreement for her and Zachary. She was still dreaming about marrying him after the 3-year promise, but she did not expect her parents to terminate the agreement, she was so pissed.‘It’s all because of that b*tch Yvonne Yates! If not, I will not become like this!’ Pearlie then returned to Coreulu in anger.Pearlie was thinking of a plan to ruin Yvonne’s life. ‘Since you’ve destroyed my happiness, you don’t deserve to have any either, I will make you pay.’ Knowing that Fiona was now working as a wine girl in a bar, Pearlie personally went to her and persuaded her to deal with Yvo

    “Is Leo willing to give daddy a chance?”“Leo will as long as mommy gives daddy a chance.”Yvonne touched Leo’s head. “Good boy.” She then noticed a gaze staring at her from behind. She turned around and saw Yosef looking at her and Leo from behind.“Yosef, when did you get here?”“Just now.” Yosef walked over. “Yvonne, let’s talk.”Yvonne nodded and went to the garden with Yosef. He helped her to sit down on the bench. “Yvonne, do you believe in destiny?”Yvonne shook her head without knowing why Yosef said so."I never believed in destiny. I always believed that hard work could make everything I wanted, but I guess I was wrong!" Yosef looked at her delicate face. "Since that thing happened, my heart has been very hesitant. I'm struggling and I didn’t dare to face you. I thought about it for so many days and watched it coldly for so many days. Today I finally mustered up the courage to come to you."Yvonne sighed. “I am sorry Yosef, it’s all my fault.”“No! It’s not your fa

    Yvonne promised Yosef that she would stay with him and also promised to forgive him but now she faced a bigger problem. After all, Ella was her sister and they have the same blood flowing in their bodies, she could not accept a man who had a relationship with her sister.Now it was not about whether she accepted Yosef or not, it was the matter whether Ella really liked Yosef. Yvonne saw how Ella looked at Yosef with a longing gaze and thinking of the child in Ella’s womb, she wanted to persuade him to accept her. Ever since their conversation that day in the hospital, Yosef avoided being alone with her and Yvonne knew that it was because he did not want Yvonne to tell him to take responsibility for Ella. Yvonne also felt bad as Yosef wasted nine years because of her and how could she persuade him to marry Ella now?As Yvonne felt hesitant, Sandra came to persuade her. “Yvonne, you should give Jackson a chance.”“You guys have been speaking on behalf of Jackson these days? Didn’t y

    “Do we really need to give her money to settle this?” Sandra asked. Jackson sneered. “Why should we? Just let her file the report.”“Are we really letting her do it?” Most of the people knew about the paintings, if it was further exposed, it would not look good on Jared. “Fiona knew that we wouldn’t want to cause any more trouble, that’s why she threatened us that way. If we were to be afraid of her, she would be even more extreme next time, just let her report it,” Jackson explained. “I will ask someone to take care of her in there and she will know what to do by then.”“We cannot let her run amok anymore, she deserves whatever she will be getting, just let her file the report!” Yvonne agreed to his statement as well. Evil could never win against good, if they kept on tolerating people like Fiona, she would definitely take another step further. Fiona initially planned to just threaten them once to get some money so she could live a better life, but she did not expect Yvonne

    Yvonne nodded while looking at Ella. Jared then called out to Jackson. “I’ve made too many mistakes in my life, I’ve betrayed my wife and wronged my daughters. I really hope that you won't repeat what I did. I am handing Yvonne over to you and I won’t forgive you if you dare to wrong her!” “Father, don’t worry, I will not let Yvonne down!” Jackson swore. “Yvonne, you are a good child. Father knows that you still love Jackson in your heart, so does he. It’s all my fault back then, for the sake of Leo and the child in your womb, forgive him!”“I have forgiven him!” Yvonne answered“I still have one last request...Please bury me...beside Cindy...after I die…” Jared panted as he spoke. Yvonne nodded. “Don’t worry, father!”Hearing what Yvonne said, Jared showed a smile of relief, and his last wish was granted so he had nothing to worry about anymore. He gradually said, “Cindy, I am coming!” and closed his eyes. “Father!” Yvonne and Ella exclaimed at the same time but Jared coul

    “Don’t cry, it’s over!” Yvonne patted her shoulder gently and comforted her. “This is actually a relief to her as well!” “Yeah, it is better to die if a person is alive with nothing but pain. Since she is reluctant to die, this is the best way to relieve her at the moment.”Yosef stood aside. Seeing Yvonne and Ella hugging each other crying, he felt extremely complicated. Yvonne was a righteous person and he knew that it would be impossible for him to be with her anymore. He sighed in his heart, ‘Loving each other doesn’t necessarily guarantee a good relationship!’Ella seemed to have heard Yosef’s sigh, she looked up at Yosef with teary eyes. “Brother Turner, I will not hold you back, I won’t let the child bother you.”“What nonsense is this?” Yvonne glared at Ella, the hug earlier cleared out all the barriers between the two girls. “Yosef is not a cruel person! You are my only sister and this is his only child, he will let you have the child.”Hearing what Yvonne mentioned, Yos
