Yvonne remained silent, it was out of her expectation that Jackson was acting sentimentally. He mentioned so many details when they were in love, it struck Yvonne so hard. She had always thought that it was only her who remembered those memories, she did not expect Jackson would remember them all.After Jackson finished his love story with Yvonne, he changed the topic and started to talk about his family. His father passed away when he was young, his mother raised him up alone. The Miller family had only one son for a few generations, and his mother had always wanted a grandson. Yvonne was diagnosed with the news that her body was too weak to get pregnant, his mother was anxious, so she forced him to divorce Yvonne. This side was his mother who raised him up, while the other side was the woman he loved the most. He was in a dilemma, and he could not choose sides, after that his mother threatened to commit suicide, and forced him to divorce Yvonne. Although he had a divorce, he w
Yvonne could imagine what Jade looked like at that moment. She must be fuming whether it was true or not and guessed she would have smashed her home into a mess. Yvonne’s guess what not far from what happened. After seeing her son’s interview, Jade hit the roof and smashed the things in her house into pieces. She even called up Jackson to come back quickly and explain. On the other hand, Fiona and her mother watched the show and too, were raging. Jackson pushed them to a point where Fiona and Susan could never dream of. Susan only thought that Jackson and his mother would sympathize more with Fiona because of her ruin and that they would present a united front because they were attacked. However, they never thought that Jackson would go all out and dealt with it in that way. Fiona initially got close to Jackson by playing the same trick, but Jackson used her tricks to attack her now. The thought of it was ironic in every way. Seeing how the host praised her for her kindness,
“Jokes? Who dares to make fun of me?” Jade suddenly remembered that there was an outsider in the house. Considering how Jackson could get anything he wanted wherever he was, it was too much for her to beat him right then and there. She then glared at Sarah and she instantly got what Jade meant and retreated outside but did not go far. She continued to wait and watch at the door. “I’m telling you, if you don’t want Fiona, that’s fine. I don’t have opinions on that, but if you’re thinking of starting anew with Yvonne, you need to stop dreaming. I’m using my life to prevent her from entering the Miller household.” Jade’s roaring voice came out from inside the room. Sarah shook her head. It was difficult enough for Jackson to have a mother like that. Jackson calmly helped her sit down when he faced Jade’s screaming. He even went and poured two glasses of water and placed one of them in front of Jade. “Mom, drink some water to calm down and listen to me slowly explain it to you.” Jade
Jade rolled her eyes in anger. “Just you wait, just you wait! I won’t let it go just like this.” Jackson slammed the door and headed out while Jade leaned onto the couch in anger. Jackson used to appease both parties but now he was completely one-sided. If he really married Yvonne, could she live through her days? She will not agree to this matter even if she died! Firmly disagree! Before she slept, Yvonne tested her ovulation again with a test strip and two red lines appeared in front of her. It also meant that she was ovulating on those two days. Yvonne was nervous yet excited. It seemed like she should find a chance to meet Jackson tomorrow. No matter what was to be said, she must grab hold of the chance and it was best if she could succeed at once. Yvonne turned on her phone and realized there were many missed calls. There were calls from Sandra, Zachary, Jared, but the most were from Jackson. She was a little anxious and called up Jackson. Jackson did not expect a call fro
“Did the child fall from the sky?” Yvonne sneered. “Must there be an intercourse to conceive a child?” Jackson fired back. “There are so many ways to have a child in this world.” “Do you mean artificial insemination?” Yvonne responded and looked at Jackson in shock. Jackson nodded. “Yes, it’s artificial insemination, and the sperm isn’t even mine!” Yvonne’s eyes widened. “How could that be possible?” “At that time, I was forced by my mother. She wanted me to divorce you. I had no choice back then. I was only thinking of giving her a grandchild for family stability and had James find that sperm from a sperm bank.” “Impossible!” Yvonne did not believe it at all. “Are you lying? Jackson, do you think that there’s not a way to check all of this, so you lied?” “I’m not lying, Yvonne, I’ve never touched Fiona before. I divorced you that time because I was forced to. My mother was threatening to die, that’s why I forced you to sign such a contract. I thought you wouldn’t accept
Jackson’s words were said with firmness and honesty. It was like that time when he proposed to her, but Yvonne knew she will never believe him again. They missed out on each other for too long and could never put the pieces back together. She would not imagine or think that Jackson would sincerely love her, get back together with her, or give her children and a home. All the sufferings that she experienced gave her a clear mind. She was clear of the reason she got entangled with Jackson and of what she wanted. She will no longer be foolish nor dream of anything unrealistic because of any of his actions and behavior. However, Jackson seemed to believe that she would forgive him. He stretched out and held onto her hand again. Yvonne was resisting him, but now was not the time for her to be pretentious. Where was her son’s sickness? As far as her son’s disease was concerned, nothing was even worth mentioning. The thought of her son made her control herself and let Jackson hold her
“Did you watch the TV?” “No. Gordon was sick today, I didn’t have the time.” Susan recounted Jackson’s remarks on TV. “What do we do now?” Roxanne complained, “I felt that something was not right when you said you wanted to do that. Look at what has happened now. Your actions have implicated you in the end. I don’t have any ideas either. Since it has come to this, there’s no other way but to give up!” “Would I be this anxious if I could just give up? This woman’s brain has turned to mush. She said she’ll die if she can’t have Jackson and she’s been kicking up a fuss until now. It worries me to death. It’s because I have no other choice that I’m begging you right now. Please, help me think of a way!” Roxanne was silent for a moment. “I’ll go look for Jade again and see what she says. Don’t let Fiona and Jackson see each other in the next few days. Wait for my information.” The call ended, and Susan let out a deep sigh. Jared was lying in the hospital yet Fiona had caused tro
When he said this, it did not provide comfort. Fiona sobbed and sniffled, overwhelmed with greater sadness. Compared to Jackson, Jared’s compensation was only a drop in the bucket. The most important asset was secondary. She loved Jackson to death. After so many years of painstaking effort, how could she possibly give up in vain? Seeing his daughter crying in misery, Jared handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears and continued to comfort her. “Don’t cry. I’ll look for someone better than Jackson for you!” At that moment, a doctor came in to check on Jared. Fiona stopped sobbing. When the doctor saw Fiona’s red eyes, he comforted her. “The secretary’s body will recover, don’t worry.” The doctor thought she was crying because she was worried about Jared’s health. Jared did not speak out either. It was at that moment Fiona’s phone rang and it turned out to be Jackson. Fiona went outside to answer the call. “Fiona, do you have time now? Let’s meet up.” “I’m taking care of Da
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
