“Yvonne told you about my mother, right? I suspect that Roxanne had something to do with this.”Jackson felt sad when he thought of his mother who was still in a coma at the hospital. He then told Frank about the fact that Roxanne had helped Susan and her daughter to conspire against him and his mother. “To be honest, I was afraid of accusing the wrong person. After all, she was my mother’s best friend and my mother had treated her wholeheartedly all these years. I started investigating everything from the beginning so that I would not accidentally accuse the wrong person or overlook the actual culprit. I am here today because I cannot understand why Roxanne would treat my mother this way, and why would she help Susan to deal with her own niece.”“She is a person who will do anything to achieve her goals. I do not know why she connived to harm your mother, but I know why she helped Susan to deal with Yvonne. She hated Cindy, and naturally, hated her daughter as well.”“Yvonne’s mo
Since Frank did not know the details, it seemed like Jackson had to look for Calvin to find out more. Still, before going to him, he needed someone to perform a background check on him first. Thus, Jackson immediately told James to settle it as soon as possible. Frank was pissed after he met Jackson and returned home. He knew that Roxanne was not a kind person, but he did not expect her to be so vicious and wicked. Frank was a kind-hearted man. Despite knowing that Roxanne had done countless bad things to Cindy in the past, she was still his younger sister, so he wanted to give her a chance. All these years, he thought that Roxanne would change, but he did not expect her to still be the same. She was even willing to kill in order to separate Yvonne and Jackson. Now, Frank finally recognized that she would not change, and his silence would not lead to her repentance; on the contrary, it would contribute more to her arrogance.Roxanne had been threatening him about the fact that h
Although the doctor was shocked about Fiona’s actions, she was observant enough and immediately helped her to record her body weight, blood pressure and heartbeat. Jackson was standing beside Fiona as she underwent her check-up. After everything was done, he started questioning the doctor in detail about Fiona’s body condition. The doctor told Jackson that the fetuses were growing well, so Jackson was satisfied. “She is so skinny, and I am worried about her body, but after you told me this, I feel relieved.”Fiona’s heart melted when she heard Jackson’s words. Later on, he asked the doctor if they could check the baby’s gender. The hospital had regulations prohibiting the disclosure of the gender of the fetus, but Jackson’s identity was different, so the doctor performed an ultrasound for Fiona. She said that she was unsure due to the position of the fetuses but it should be two boys. Jackson was very excited when he heard that. "Is it true, can the ultrasound be wrong? Even if
“How can I not worry?” Jackson asked, “Didn’t you say that her body was not well? The fetuses will definitely be affected if the mother is weak. Fiona is carrying two children and I remember that she has had problems with her body during her previous check-ups. No, this is too dangerous, I must confirm that my children are fine.”“Jackson, the children will be fine,” Fiona said."I am worried, okay? All unfavorable factors should be eliminated. A female employee from the finance department in our company gave birth to an unintelligent child because her check-ups were not conducted properly..." After saying this, Jackson stopped for a moment, then turned his head and asked the obstetrician in a harsh tone, "You are Fiona’s obstetrician. Can you guarantee that the babies in her womb do not have chromosomal aberrations or other birth defects?"Jackson had a solemn expression as he spoke in a cold tone. The doctor immediately felt chills run down her back. Although fetal malformations
Director Chamberlain performed another ultrasound after the amniotic fluid was pumped, then allowed Fiona to see the baby’s small heart, which was beating vigorously, also proving that there was no problem at all. Director Chamberlain advised her to take some precautions and allowed her to remain in bed. He then urged her not to take a shower on the same day and finally asked her to get up after. Jackson came in after Fiona got up, and she pounced on him in tears. “The needle was so long. I was terrified just now!” Jackson held her, and said gently, “You have gone through so much for the child.” Fiona was about to snuggle into Jackson’s arms when he supported her up onto a chair, then turned to Director Chamberlain to ask some questions concerning the operation. Director Chamberlain informed him that the results would take about two weeks to finalize, and that he would call Jackson when the results are ready. Jackson expressed his gratitude to Director Chamberlain, then exited th
Jackson was adamant that Fiona give birth to the child. He told Yvonne the reasoning behind all this so that Yvonne did not misunderstand him. In order to persuade Fiona, Susan, and the others to let their guard down, and now he had to convince them that he had begun to have a change of heart about the child in Fiona’s womb. Not long after Fiona returned home from the hospital after undergoing amniocentesis, Jackson instructed James to prepare gifts and send them to the Summers.Meanwhile, Fiona was lying on the bed, telling Susan how Jackson acted in the hospital today. Even so, Susan had a bad feeling upon hearing that Jackson had uncharacteristically accompanied Fiona to her pregnancy check-up, and even asked her to do an amniotic fluid puncture.Susan was deep in thought. ‘Jackson’s attitude towards Fiona has changed considerably. When Jackson first found out about Fiona’s pregnancy, he gritted his teeth and threatened to kill the child in her womb. Will he seize the opportunity
The results were revealed two days later, and the fetus in Fiona’s womb turned out to be a pair of baby boys. Fiona was completely relieved upon hearing this. With these two boys in her womb, she would surely be able to curry Jackson’s favor, and she would also have an advantage over Yvonne and her children.Fiona was relieved; Roxanne, however, was not. Roxanne began to plot in her mind, ‘Although Jackson and Yvonne had their reservations up to this point, Yvonne’s children are nevertheless still of Jackson’s flesh and blood. Her child’s existence is a hindrance, so I have to find a way to make Yvonne leave without leaving a trace, just as she did before. It has to be a hiding place that Jackson can never find, to spare us all trouble later on.’ Roxanne met with Frank again to recount how Jackson had accompanied Fiona for the check-up, and how he purchased high-end supplements for her. She even did so with great exaggeration. “Jackson regards Fiona as a treasure and has abandoned
“I cannot believe my good intentions are being taken as ill intent. What could my supposed ulterior motives possibly be?” Roxanne responded with another question, but she did so hesitantly.Frank cast a glance at Roxanne. “You know your reasons better than anyone else, but what I would like to tell you is that Yvonne will never leave South City, and that I will never reach any agreements with you. I believe I have already made it clear that we should go our separate ways. Please do not come to me again in the future!” Roxanne and Frank eventually parted on bad terms. On the way back, Roxanne had a disgruntled expression on her face as she cursed in her mind, ‘Now that Frank is being incredibly stubborn, my plan will not work with him. If that is the case, you cannot blame me for being cruel. It appears that I must inform Yvonne about the fact that Frank is not Wesley. When Yvonne finds out that he is not who she thinks he is, and even has other ties with Cindy, it will lead to an am
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
