Yvonne was surprised that Jackson did not pester her. She felt relieved and fell asleep soundly. As for Fiona, she felt bothered the whole night.Fiona had two thoughts going on in her mind and one of them was Jackson. These days Jackson had changed and treated her nicely as he was concerned about her health. He said that she was too thin and needed to recuperate. He even brought her out of town along with James to find a famous Chinese doctor to help her recuperate.Other than that, Jackson called her every single day to remind her to take her medicines. Though the medicines were bitter, due to Jackson’s concerns, she pinched her nose and drank those medicines on time three times a day. After she finished them, she would call him and complain coquettishly. Jackson did not get annoyed with her and every time she called him to complain, he would gently persuade her by saying good medicines were bitter and good for her health. He even told her that he took the medicines too.Through r
Wesley had no idea that Yvonne had changed her job. These days when she came to visit him, he did not see Zachary anymore. He then simply asked Yvonne, “How come I did not see Zachary these past few days?”Yvonne became silent and then answered, “Uncle, Zachary got engaged! I had also resigned and found a new job.”“When did all this happen?” Wesley was shocked.“It has been a few days.”“That b*stard! He is the same as his dad, b*stard!” Wesley scolded.At first, he thought that Zachary was someone that Yvonne could be entrusted with for life, who would have thought that the same situation would happen again just like Gordon Quimby and Cindy Yates. Cindy waited for Gordon painfully but he got married to Janice Hardy without giving her any explanation.“Don’t blame him, it is all my fault. It is my fault!” Yvonne smiled bitterly and told Wesley what happened.Wesley sighed. “Yvonne, it is not like that. Your mother did not do anything wrong. It is just that Zachary’s thoughts ar
Wesley was furious when he saw Zachary going silent. “Zachary, you will regret it! I’m telling you that you hate the wrong person. Yvonne’s mother did not wrong you and you have no right to hate her. It was all your b*stard father’s fault that chaos and abandonment happened. If you want to hate, you should hate your father as he did not take up the responsibility of being a father!”“I know everything that you are saying!” Zachary was very calm. “I did not hate Yvonne’s mother.”“Then why did you get engaged with another woman?” Wesley glared at Zachary as he felt disappointed with him. “Zachary, you are a b*stard! You are just the same as your father, b*stard!!”“I know I am a b*stard, but what will you do if you face the same thing? Are you gonna keep hiding it? You cannot use paper to wrap fire, if Yvonne knows that her mother’s death was caused by my mother, how should I face her? Won't she have to continue suffering then?” Zachary voiced his worries to Wesley.“Cindy’s death h
At that time, Cindy had tears on her face and looked heartbroken. She was stunned for a second only and then she followed her out. Cindy did not leave immediately after she left the cafe as Janice saw that she went to a telephone booth next to the cafe and called someone. She cried while talking on the phone.Later on, Cindy left the telephone booth and walked towards the road. She wiped her tears as she took heavy steps and walked towards the middle of the road when suddenly a big truck roared and ran over Cindy in front of Janice’s eyes. Janice still felt the fear whenever she recalled the scene. The truck sped off immediately after hitting Cindy and she was seen lying on the ground in a pool of blood.She saw her struggling in that pool of blood but she did not come forward to help her. If she had helped her that time and sent her to the hospital, then maybe Cindy would not have passed away.In that situation, she chose to sit on the fence as all she thought of was the situation
“What do I mean? I have a three-year agreement with Pearlie Turner, if three years later she still wants to marry me then I will. But you have to make things clear with her, the life that you are having right now is a portrayal of her in the future!” He dropped his words and left. Janice froze at the scene! She was very clear on how she went through those days and it was hard to imagine such a beautiful young lady like Pearlie needed to go through the same ordeal. ‘Gordon Quimby, you are really a bastard. Why did my son inherit your infatuation when you did not look after him at all!’Zachary huffed angrily and left his mother’s courtyard and went back to the main house. He went straight to the airport and planned to go back to South City as he was not in the mood to see his grandfather. On his way to the airport, he thought of something, his mother said that Cindy Yates got into an accident after she met someone in the cafe and left the cafe heartbroken. He forgot to ask his moth
After they got off work at night, Jackson and James had driven off in their own cars and left the office, Fiona was following Jackson’s car from far away. Jackson parked his car at the supermarket’s car park. Fiona did not dare to follow him inside, she waited outside instead.After half an hour Jackson’s car got out from the supermarket, she followed immediately until at last, they came to the Fragrant Hills Valley.Fiona knew a rich lady was staying at the Fragrant Hills Valley, she was invited to her house before. The construction and decorations of the villa were made with the best quality. She knew Jackson had a villa here, but he had never brought her there before. After she got engaged with Jackson she had been anticipating, looking forward to moving in with Jackson after they got married.Fiona’s car was stopped outside the villas of Fragrant Hills Valley, it was because the car she rented was a low-class car, the security guard stopped her and prevented her from entering
Jackson’s facial expression changed when he heard the word second-hand man, he stopped walking while he was on his way back to the kitchen. “Who are you calling a second-hand man?” “Of course it’s you. Wait no, you’re not a second-hand man. You messed with Fiona and Ella, and there must be some other women that I didn’t know. I was kind enough to call you a second-hand man, I guess a Casanova suits you more!” Jackson glared at Yvonne for a few seconds with his eyes that were almost sparking with fire, he took off the apron and threw it on the floor, and left. Yvonne laughed, and let Jackson be, that was exactly what she wanted.After Jackson left, Yvonne opened her bag, and took out the ovulation prediction kit, and tested herself. She found out there were two red-purplish lines appearing, but the color was slightly lighter, it looked like her ovulation would be around these few days.Fiona drove the car back angrily and told Susan that she saw Yvonne entering Fragrant Hills Va
When Jackson got back to Fragrant Hills Valley, he did not buy ingredients to prepare dinner at home after being insulted by Yvonne last night. Instead, he brought Yvonne to a Sichuan restaurant that they went to before. Sichuan-style cuisine was Yvonne’s favorite, she enjoyed the food happily. …Back at the villa, Yvonne went to the bathroom to test her ovulation again while Jackson was busy with his work in the study room. She realized the color result was almost the same in the morning, her ovulation was around these few days, which means she had to roll in the hay with Miller these few days, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.It was all or nothing, for the sake of her son! If Miller wants to f*ck her, she would not reject him tonight! Yvonne was prepared to face this. After she was mentally prepared, Jackson was still in the study room doing this work. Yvonne fell asleep after that, it was not the actual ovulatory period after all, there was no need for her to take the init
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
