“Let’s talk about this later, you have to bring Leo back first! He is the grandson of the Millers, He must be admitted to the family.” Jade was still doubtful about what Jackson just told her, she was well aware of Jackson’s personality, he could do anything just to get Yvonne back. What if he was deliberately lying to her just to remarry Yvonne, would it not be a waste of joy? Jade could only feel at ease if Jackson brought Leo back for a DNA Paternity test. However, Jackson was still being obstinate. “I will bring Leo back for sure, but you must promise me that you will treat Yvonne better, or else she will not let Leo acknowledge me nor remarry me for sure.” “What? She will not let Leo acknowledge you?” Jade got annoyed after hearing this. “Leo has the blood of the Millers, what right does she have to stop you from acknowledging your son? I will go to the States right now, I will help you to bring back Leo!”“Mother, can you stop making this any worse? I can settle it on my own
“Mother, it’s not as easy as you think it is. Yvonne did not tell Leo about us, and she is going to marry Yosef Turner soon,” Jackson told her in detail. Jade was furious after hearing what Jackson had said. “This woman wants to take my grandson away from our family? I can’t let this happen! My grandson will not be taking outsiders as his family!”“Mother, can you please let me settle it on my own?” The relationship between him and Yvonne had already become like this, he hoped that his mother could stop making things even worse. “You can’t solve this alone, I must step in.” It was impossible for Jade to listen at this point. “I have to see my grandson first!”“Leo is still sick, and you should stop being so reckless. He still does not know we are his father and grandmother, and also quit mentioning about grandson.” Jackson frowned. Jade felt unpleasant after seeing her son defending Yvonne. ‘It seems like I have to step into this matter no matter what. I can't just rely on my
Jade turned her head and gave a cold smile when she heard Yvonne’s voice. “Oh, I did not recognize you there…”In a blink of an eye, Jade saw Leo who was asleep in Yosef’s arms and her eyes immediately became emotional and frantic. If her son did not mention it, she would not have noticed that Leo was related to the family. Now that she knew, she found Leo who was in Yosef’s arms looked more and more like her son when he was young. Therefore, she could not help but walk over, she even reached out her hand trying to caress Leo’s head. However, Yosef tilted his body away from her. “Madam Miller, what are you doing?”“Is he my grandson?” Jade was upset about not being able to caress Leo’s head, but her heart was filled with joy.“I supposed that Madam Miller might have been mistaken. This is my son but he’s not your grandson!” Yvonne stepped forward with a stern gloomy look. She might have been patient if it was Jackson, but not to this lady... she did not want to meet her ever again
Leo frowned slightly and shook his head. “You are not my grandma, you are a witch, a witch fighting my mommy!”Jade was stupefied again, she stood up looking at Yvonne bitterly. ‘This might be Yvonne’s idea. She deliberately concealed the birth of the child and instigated the child to hate me and my son. Yvonne Yates is too evil.’Yvonne was upset looking at the way her son defended her. She always wanted to provide her son a peaceful environment, but it backfired. She did not want her son to be seeing Jade’s disgusting behavior, so she got up and walked to Leo. She carried him. “Honey, let’s play upstairs!”“Where are you going, we are not done here!” Jade became anxious when she saw Yvonne bringing Leo upstairs.“Madam Miller, please behave and leave the house if you do not want to embarrass yourself. I’m telling you, this is my son and he has nothing to do with you. So, do not make the wrong decision!”How could Jade possibly let them go, it took her so long to know that she ha
Yvonne approached Jade with her red eyes. “I will kill you if you make trouble here again!”The chill in her eyes made Jade shudder. She did not know why she suddenly felt a sense of fear. Yvonne had always been docile and never been so scary. Jade had a feeling that Yvonne would really murder her so she retreated with fright.Leo kept on crying, Yosef and Yvonne anxiously sent Leo to the hospital again. The doctor had checked on Leo and said that he was just frightened. However, he asked Leo to be hospitalized and to be observed for a while. In the ward, there was only the sound of the instruments. Looking at her son, Yvonne was distressed and tears leaked out of her eyes.“Leo... It’s mommy’s fault…”Yosef reached out and hugged her in his arms, he patted her gently. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine!”“Yosef…” She held her tears. If it was not for her, he would not encounter these unbearable things. “I’m sorry!”“Silly, I did all of these willingly. As long as you are happ
Jackson was speechless as Yvonne was right. His mother was indeed such a person, and he could not find anything that could be refuted at this moment.“Jackson, we are over. If you still have a little affection for me, and if you are really dedicated to the child, I beg you to leave me alone. Besides, I will marry Yosef soon, so please stop disturbing us!” Jackson was upset hearing that. ‘Yvonne, are you so impatient to marry Yosef? Can’t you think of me at all?’Seeing him being silent, Yvonne did not want to stay any longer. So, she walked directly across from him to the other side.“Would you really not give me a little chance?” Jackson’s pleading voice sounded as she passed by.Drops of tears rolled out of her eyes, Yvonne turned her head to prevent him from seeing her cry. “What can you do if I’d given you the chance? We will never be happy as you have a stereotypical mother who has prejudices against me. Jackson, love is not a panacea, I cannot bear it anymore. I have been dev
Jade also felt that it was all Yvonne's plan, she deliberately wanted to retaliate against her and her son. Roxanne’s words touched her heart. “Yes! It must be so, she must have hated us so much that she wants to retaliate. This woman is too malicious, I must find a way to foil her conspiracy.” “What’s your plan?” Roxanne asked tentatively.“The child should belong to us Millers, so of course I want to take him back. As for Yvonne Yates, she won’t be able to step into Miller’s house. As long as I am still alive, she won’t have that chance in this life.” These were what Jade said and she was desperate for the child. She would never allow Yvonne to enter the house since they fell foul of each other. Besides, Yvonne was no longer suitable for Jackson.“But she won’t agree on giving you her child.”“She could not disagree, would she be able to go against us?” Jade became domineering again this time. “We will just pay her a sum when the time comes, and if she doesn’t, I will file a law
“What do you mean by that?” Jade felt guilty being stared at by her son.“How can you speak like this? Even if he’s in good condition, he won’t be able to take much discomfort. Besides, he is sick now! He is your grandson! How can you be so indifferent and cold-blooded?” Jackson was suddenly furious. Yvonne was about to marry Yosef and his son was sick again. He felt that he was inhuman internally and externally.“Wait! The child is sick? What disease did he have?” Jade was very anxious about it.“Leukemia!” Jackson sat down with his head in his arms, his tone was full of frustration and sadness.“What happened? How did my grandson get diagnosed with such a disease! It’s all that woman’s fault, if she was not being secretive and mysterious, how could he be diagnosed with such a disease?” Jade was worried and distressed at the same time. She immediately blamed it on Yvonne as she had always been accustomed to making excuses for herself. “How could you still be blaming others at th
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
