Susan had a dream that night. She dreamt about what had happened on the road outside the cafe that day. Cindy was covered with blood and lying in a pool of blood. Susan stood at the door of the cafe and watched her struggle in pain with her gloomy eyes. She watched the blood drain from Cindy’s body, and she felt pleased with the sight.However, the pleasure lasted only a few seconds. Cindy, who was lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and pounced straight at her. She yelled, “Susan Lowe, you shall pay for my life!” Susan was so terrified that she wanted to run away but she could not move at all.When Cindy’s bloody hands were about to clutch onto her neck, Susan immediately opened her eyes. The residual fear made her turn over and sit up. She could feel the cold sweat that had broken out on her back. Jared, who was beside her, was awakened by her movements. He muttered, “What’s the matter?”“It’s nothing, I’m just thirsty and want to get a cup of water.” Susan gently got up after
Susan's words reminded Cindy about it. She had always helped Jared clean his clothes after he came back from trips. It was true that he lost one of his underwear when he came back from that business trip.She had found it strange at the time, and Jared’s reaction was a little unnatural as well. However, he said that he lost it, so she did not think anything else about it.She just did not expect him to lose it in her best friend’s house. It was hard to tell what she was feeling, and Cindy glared at her. “Susan Lowe, I’ve always regarded you as my best friend. Why did you choose Jared out of so many men? Why?”Susan sneered at Cindy’s confrontation. “You should be asking your husband this question instead of me. He wanted to have a relationship with me, could I refuse him?”“I didn’t expect that you’d be such a shameless person. Well, I guess I was blind. Susan Lowe, from now on, you’ll go your way and I’ll go mine!”Cindy contemptuously looked at her, but she was not as mad as Sus
It had been several months since Yvonne returned from abroad. Yosef thought that it would only take a few days for him to handle the factory’s incident and he could return to the country to accompany her. However, the incident got worse and he was being sued by the workers in court. Hence, he could not leave the country and could only stay in the United States.Zachary called Yosef and told him about all the troubles that Yvonne encountered during the days after her return. Yosef missed her and hated that he was incapable of cloning himself so that he could be right by her side to take care of her. Fortunately, Zachary was there taking care of Yvonne for him and this gave him a little peace of mind.He planned to return now that he had dealt with the factory’s incident.Yosef did not go home that day but instead went to a villa in the suburbs.Yosef just bought the villa last year to let Yvonne stay here with Leo. It was located on the outskirts of the city and the air here was ref
After seeing the mesmerizing colors of the rainbow roses, Yosef walked over excitedly. He bent over to smell the roses’ scent and started praising, “It’s as good as they say. Rainbow roses are surprisingly wonderful.”Ella smiled and looked at Yosef’s handsome appearance. She suddenly felt a little disappointed. She had heard from the gardener, who taught her how to care for flowers, that Yosef had a fiancée. The rainbow roses were planted for his fiancée to express his affection for her. She really envied that woman as Yosef was handsome, intellectual, generous, and passionate. ‘How happy that woman must be to marry him!’“El, thank you.” Yosef stood up and thanked Ella gratefully. Yosef had given Ella the nickname El so that it would be more convenient. “Brother Turner, you’re too polite. These roses were laboriously cultivated by Uncle Wilson, I just helped water them.” Ella blushed slightly. She was embarrassed about her gaffe just now.Yosef did not know Ella’s thoughts and
Yvonne sounded tired over the phone. Yosef was a very attentive person and immediately noticed the difference in her voice. "Yvonne, are you not feeling well?" Yvonne smiled. “Nope, I’m good.” “You must take good care of your body now that you’re pregnant and have to take care of Leo. You should not tire yourself out.” Yosef felt sorry whenever he thought about how exhausted Yvonne was. He exhorted her for a while more before he hung up. He was still not assured and immediately called Zachary to check on Yvonne’s condition. “I was about to report this to you!” Zachary sounded solemn when he told Yosef that Jade got into an accident and was in a coma now. Plus, Sarah accused Yvonne for being the mastermind.”Yosef was shocked. “How could this happen? Yvonne would not do that.”Zachary said, "I believe in Yvonne. She’s kind-hearted, and even if she hates someone, she won’t do something evil. She’s definitely being framed by someone else."“Does Jackson believe in her?” Yo
As Pearlie had too many thoughts going through her mind, she did not have much of an appetite. After eating half a bowl of rice, she left and sat on the couch in the living room. She continued to think of a plan.While she was deep in thoughts, Yosef's phone that was on the coffee table rang. Pearlie picked up his phone and took a look at the screen. It displayed the name ‘El’. When she was about to ask Yosef who El was, Yosef got up and took his phone away, answering the call.Pearlie was curious about who it was and decided to eavesdrop. She heard Yosef gently calling out to El. Yosef then said, “Oh dear, look at how bad my memory is! Keep it for me first. When I return, I’ll go get it from you. Thank you.” He then hung up the call.Pearlie asked Yosef, “Brother, who called you? It sounded like a woman? Are you cheating on Yvonne behind her back?”Yosef panicked and quickly explained himself, “What are you saying? I went to the villa in the outskirts to loosen the soil in the ro
Pearlie took a look at the phone and could not help but be surprised. “Brother, why does El look so much like Yvonne?”Yosef smiled. “Yes, even I think that both of them look alike. If it isn’t because Yvonne has no siblings, I would think that El is her sister.”“Really? Let me see.” Old Madam Turner reached out for Pearlie’s phone and took a look at the screen. “They do look alike. This woman is younger and prettier than Yvonne. Besides, she must be very docile.” Yosef smiled. “Grandmother, you’re so great to be able to tell someone’s personality just by looking at their photo. El is indeed very quiet and diligent. Ol’ Wilson and the others like her too. ”When Pearlie saw how Yosef was praising El, she thought of an idea. “Brother, why don’t we invite her over for a meal? It’s pitiful that a young lady like her has to endure such hardships in a foreign land. Furthermore, Grandmother likes a lively a
Those days when Timmy still had money, he often bragged about his relationship with the secretary. At parties, he was often surrounded by both men and women. Naturally, Sebastian’s girlfriend was among them.Sebastian loved his girlfriend dearly but the woman did not have as deep feelings for him. When she heard that Timmy was rich and single, she wanted Timmy.Someone later told Timmy in private that the woman liked him. At first, Timmy did not notice it but once his friend told him, he noticed that the woman often looked at him affectionately. Everyone was interested in Sebastian’s girlfriend but this woman was only interested in Timmy. Every man was hypocritical. Although Timmy was not very interested in her, he could not control himself after being seduced and they h
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
