There was the smell of Chanel perfume in the room. Jackson rubbed his forehead, rolled over and sat up. He then realized he did not have any clothes on. “Who took my clothes off?”

“Mother removed them for you, fearing that you would not be able to sleep comfortably,” Jade explained.

‘Did I not only drink a few cups of alcohol? How was I that drunk?’ Jackson instantly felt that something was not right. He saw Jade standing there with a bowl of soup, and he got slightly irritated. “Mother, can you go out?”

“I will leave after you drink the soup.”

“Bah, I do not dare to drink your soup!” Jackson smiled coldly. “Please, just leave.”

“Ungrateful,” Jade murmured and left. Jackson got up quickly and put on his clothes. He fumbled around to find his phone but he could not. Thus, he opened the door and yelled at Jade, “Mother, where is my cell phone?!”

“Here.” Jade pointed at the coffee table in the living room.

Jackson rushed downstairs and took his phone. He saw that there was an answ

    ‘Is this not Fiona’s voice?’ Yvonne turned around and saw Susan and Fiona, who were in sunglasses, entering the hospital from the other entrance. “We will not have to wait and queue since we are here early,” Susan answered. “If you are afraid of the queue then you should just come during the night shift. Besides, we have Aunt Peay, so what is the point of coming here this early anyway?” Fiona was unhappy. She only reached home yesterday and now she was dragged out of the house by Susan to head to the hospital for the check-up at such an early time. Her sleep was disrupted, so she really wanted to vent her frustration."We will check your physical condition first. The sooner the better, idiot!" Susan said, grabbing her daughter's hand before hurrying upstairs. The mother and daughter walked in a hurry, and did not even spot Yvonne standing next to the bulletin board.Yvonne heard the conversation between the mother and daughter clearly. ‘Aunt Peay? Roxanne Peay was one of the spec

    “I will be back home in a few days my dear son. Mommy will be back real soon!” Yvonne gave him a kiss through the phone and Leo did the same.“Mommy, hurry up and come back. Uncle Turner has a surprise for you!”“What is it?”“I cannot tell you now, come back and you will know!”“You little one, how mysterious,” Yvonne chuckled. She hung up the phone and noticed that she had a few missed calls from Jackson. He finally remembered to call her after he had dinner with Ella yesterday.Yvonne did not bother and stopped a taxi to go back to Fragrant Hills Valley. After hanging up the phone, Leo swung Yosef’s hand back and forth. “Uncle Turner, I did not tell mommy about the surprise just now. You must reward me!’Leo looked at him with his beautiful eyes, as if there was a sea of brilliant stars in them. Yosef smiled and lifted him up to give him a kiss. He then carried him around the house. Leo smiled brilliantly as the entire house was filled with his innocent laughter. ‘He was

    She had forced herself into the dead end with just one sentence.She was in a daze after she hung up the phone. Jackson’s number was just below Sandra’s and her finger which wanted to press the dial key froze. After a moment, she still dialled the number. “Hello…” She spoke hesitantly; she could feel the bitterness in her words. “Yvonne, what’s up?” Jackson was kind of excited when he received the phone call from her. The other side of the phone remained silent for a long time. He suddenly became fearful as he seemed to have predicted something from the silence. “Yvonne, talk to me.” He hastily urged. “I am leaving. My plane back to the United States will be departing in 10 minutes.” This time, she did not want to hide anything. It was better to clarify things once and for all. Jackson’s fingertips turned pale as he clenched them tightly. “Why? Is it because of Yosef Turner?”He barely had to think before mentioning that person’s name. It had been years but that obstruction

    They drove back to the Turner’s and saw Old Madam Turner and Pearlie sitting in the living room. Yvonne instantly felt awkward as she did not expect Yosef to bring her to the Turners immediately after her flight. “Hello Old Madam Turner, Miss Turner.” Yvonne glanced at Yosef awkwardly. She could not escape the formalities after all. Old Madam Turner stood up and took a glance at Yvonne with a kind smile on her face. “Leo, come over to your great grandmother.”Just as Yvonne thought that she would be on the receiving on of some harsh comments, Old Madam Turner squatted down and waved at Leo. “Great Grandmother!” Leo ran over happily. Pearlie got up and smiled. “Brother, Grandmother wanted to wait for you all to have dinner. I am starving,” she said, ranting as she walked toward the dining hall.After the meal, Old Madam Turner brought Yvonne to her room. She took out a brocade box and Yvonne opened it, finding all this quite odd. Inside the box lied a fine emerald green ring

    He had never taken the initiative to call her. This call turned out to not be for her, but for Yvonne again.“Yeah, she is back!” She still spoke in a joyful tone so that Zachary would not dislike her. However, she would not be this nice to Yvonne herself.She went downstairs after hanging up the phone and Old Madam Turner happened to come out of her room at the same time. She jogged toward her. “Grandmother.”She went to her affectionately, but Old Madam Turner only gave her a faint smile before walking downstairs. Pearlie’s face froze and she pinned all the blame and hatred on Yvonne. At night, Yosef and Leo disappeared all of a sudden. They told Yvonne that they would be going out to buy something, so she did not think much of it and let them be. She went back to her room and phoned the doctor to make an appointment for a full body check the next day. With that matter settled, she noticed that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Leo should be resting at this t

    She looked up and said firmly, “Miss Turner, I know what you are thinking. However, the feelings between me and Yosef are true and we want to be together. I really hope that you can give us your blessings. As for Zachary, I believe that he will understand.”Pearlie was stunned for a moment. She did not understand when Yvonne, who had always been so well-tempered, had become so tough. “What kind of blessings do you expect? How can you, a divorced woman with children, be qualified to be with my brother? Look at yourself, Yvonne Yates, you were not worthy before, and you are even less worthy now!" Pearlier said exactly what she felt, her words became scathing and rather harsh.“Pearlie Turner, watch your words!” Yosef’s voice appeared out of nowhere, alongside his unprecedented anger. When she saw Yosef’s appearance, Pearlie’s face went pale. He walked straight to Yvonne and held her hand, then stared at Pearlie coldly. “You should mind your own business. You are nobody to comment on

    Jackson kept quiet. It did not matter whose child Leo was. What mattered was that Yvonne had agreed to marry Yosef! She finally agreed to his marriage proposal, and Jackson’s heart ached because of this.“Let me tell you, Leo is your son!”“Nonsense!” Jackson was stunned, he had already told James to find out Leo’s identity. Pearlie had to be spouting nonsense.“I am not. Leo is your son.” Pearlie’s voice was clear. “I heard my grandmother and brother talking about it–I cannot be wrong!”He nearly dropped his phone on the floor and only managed to regain his voice after a moment. “How is that possible?”Pearlie sneered. She could already imagine Jackson’s expression at that point. ‘He must be extremely shocked!’“When you two got a divorce, she found out that she was pregnant. Yet, she hated your indifference so she did not tell you. She came back to the South City because of Leo’s illness. She needed to have another child with you in order to save Leo with the cord blood!” Pearl

    His son! He quickly walked to Leo and squatted down. The moment he placed his hand on Leo’s face, the air became stagnant and time stopped. The only thing left in the world was his heartbeat, which was so violent that it was about to jump out of his chest.Jackson gently stroked Leo's face. His delicate skin, his pale face, and those dark shimmering eyes...The corners of his lips twitched unnaturally. This was his son, this was him and Yvonne’s son.Old Madam Turner sighed. Branches were being stretched out after all. “Old Madam…” Yvonne wanted to greet her but she saw Jackson who was dressed in a casual outfit, and her face turned pale. Yosef noticed his presence and took a step forward. He nodded at Jackson and hugged Yvonne by the shoulder. “Do not worry, I am here.”When his voice sounded, she instantly felt relieved, and she stood up straight and looked at him. "Why are you here?"Even this sentence made her feel uncomfortable.Jackson stood up and looked at her, with r

    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
