The only thing she wanted right now was for her son to grow up happily and healthily. She was willing to endure more pain and suffering as long as Leo was fine. The plane landed in South City safely. Yvonne walked out of the customs and hailed a cab. She brought up Leo's condition to Wesley but omitted the fact that she was kidnapped. Wesley was very happy to know that Leo was in good condition. The two talked for a little longer before Yvonne returned to the Summers’ house. She had thought about it on her way back. ‘It’s finally time to face Jackson Miller.’ During her days abroad, she had gotten many anonymous calls from home and they were all from unknown numbers.Yvonne suspected that Jackson was the one calling her. She had blocked his phone number, so he definitely realized it when his calls were not getting through to her. Hence, he probably tried using other numbers to contact her.Yvonne obviously did not want to entertain Jackson. The reason she went abroad was to esc
He did not expect Yvonne to have never understood his efforts. She even said that a person who truly loved her would never be disgusted by her looks. Jared took a sip of soup and looked at his daughter. “Did you go abroad to visit Yosef this time?”Yvonne kept quiet, but Susan could not read the room and decided to bring up a sensitive subject. “Did Old Madam Turner make things difficult for you?”Yvonne placed her chopsticks down. How could she let Susan Lowe get away with this? “Madam Summers, thank you for your concern. Old Madam Turner didn’t trouble me, she also told me to get along well with Yosef if I wished to be with him. She won’t stop us anymore.”Jared was happy after hearing her words. He knew about the relationship between Yosef and Yvonne back then. They did not get together back then because of Old Madam Turner’s objections, and because of his daughter, Yosef did not marry anyone as well. If Old Madam Turner was not against the idea of them being together anymore
Yvonne turned around and saw Gordon staring at her with widened eyes. The two stared at each other for a moment before Gordon came back to his senses. “You… Are you Cindy’s daughter?”Yvonne nodded but looked at Gordon with a hostile gaze. “Sir, may I know who you are? What are you doing here?”“I was Cindy’s friend…”“Friend? Sir, are you in your right mind? My mother was a person with a family, how could you be friends with my mother?”Yvonne was not polite at all. Regardless of the feelings they had for each other at the beginning, as long as they had their own families, they should be responsible for their families. Her impression was that her mother and Jared Summers were once a loving and harmonious couple. They had a flawless relationship. Yet, this Gordon Quimby abandoned his wife using the excuse of ‘love’. Not only did he ruin a woman and her family’s happiness, but he also damaged another woman’s reputation. Yvonne did not have a good impression of him. “I… I was y
“I was caught in the rain,” Yvonne said bluntly and rushed upstairs to the second floor. When she closed the door, she heard Susan’s voice. “Oh my! Fiona, what happened to you?”Yvonne removed her drenched clothes and got into the bathtub. The feeling of comfort washed over her body. However, she soon started sneezing.After an unknown amount of time in the bathtub, she heard someone knocking on the door. She went out to put on her clothes. She opened the door and saw Ms. Lane with a cup of tea.This act made Yvonne tear up. Ms. Lane was the only one who truly cared about her. She let her in, and before she closed the door, she saw Jackson walking over from the other side of the corridor. She remembered that Fiona’s room was on the other side of the corridor. ‘Jackson is indeed caring and loving toward his partner.’ Yvonne closed the door expressionlessly. When she turned around, Ms. Lane was still holding the cup of tea. Yvonne quickly accepted it and said, “Ms. Lane, have a se
Jackson’s indifferent voice sounded. “You don’t actually have any medicine with you, right?”Yvonne did not answer and focused on eating her noodles. Jackson took a few more steps forward. “Yvonne, I underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to acquire such great acting skills. Have you been studying performing arts in the past few years?”“Mr. Jackson, no, Brother-in-law, what are you trying to say?” Yvonne looked up and stared at Jackson. “Fragrant Hills Valley, A8. I’ll be waiting for you there!” That being said, he placed some beautiful keys in front of Yvonne and left. When she saw the keys, she smiled mockingly. She slowly finished her noodles and took the keys upstairs. It was ten o’clock in the evening, and Jackson had been waiting for Yvonne for almost three hours. At that point, he was extremely impatient. Just then, he heard the door open. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not look at whoever was coming in. Instead, he continued watching TV. The person
After the woman was kicked out by Jackson, she gave Yvonne a call. “The customer kicked me out.”Yvonne had expected Jackson to kick the woman out. Her purpose was solely to disgust him anyway. Based on the woman’s recount, he must be feeling extremely angry. The corners of Yvonne’s lips curved into a small smile. ‘Miller is a clean freak, he won’t be able to sleep tonight.’Just as Yvonne was gloating, Ms. Lane came and knocked on her door. “Yvonne, someone called just now and said that something happened to your uncle. You should go over!”When Yvonne heard that something had happened to Wesley, she immediately grabbed her bag and ran out. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, another car rushed over and stopped in front of her. When she saw Jackson, Yvonne immediately realized that she had been fooled. She got into his car while being stared at by him. He looked at her eerily for a few minutes. “Yvonne Yates, how bold of you!”“Mr. Miller, what do you mean?” Yvonne stared back
Although he had eliminated a strong opponent, Jackson’s ease was only momentary. ‘Zachary was set on getting Yvonne, no? Why did he suddenly get engaged to Pearlie? Is it because he made Yvonne his lover?’No man could accept the fact that the woman they loved was sleeping with another man. Obviously, Zachary was no exception. Jackson suddenly felt a little guilty. Yvonne’s hatred for him was probably also because he was the one who separated them.He picked up his phone and called Yvonne, thinking of asking her out. However, no one answered the call and it kept ringing. In the end, Jackson could not take it anymore. He had to see Yvonne. After waiting around the Summers’ house for more than an hour, Jackson finally saw Yvonne. She had both her hands in her pockets and looked upset. He immediately walked toward her. “Yvonne Yates!”Yvonne looked at Jackson indifferently. “Do you need anything, Mr. Miller?”Jackson reached out and held Yvonne’s hands. “I have something to say.”“
Fiona’s facial expression was amusing to watch. Yvonne knew that she definitely had complicated feelings in her heart. After venting her anger, she swung Jackson’s hand away and left. After her departure, the man and woman left behind would be left to their own devices. It was no longer Yvonne’s business whether they ended up quarreling or reconciling.Fiona opened her car door and walked toward Jackson. “Jackson.”Jackson did not explain further, which meant that he admitted to whatever Yvonne said earlier. Fiona was furious on the inside but she did not show anything on her face. “Jackson, I know that you can’t forget about my sister. I don't blame you.”“I’m sorry.” Jackson left after saying that.Fiona watched as he took his leave. When she went back to her car, a look of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes. “Yvonne Yates, just you wait. I’ll not let you get away with this!”When Yvonne reached the entrance, she heard the sound of a car. Fiona was back. She wondered, ‘Logicall
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
