When Sarah heard that, she was sure that they were talking about her son. That useless oaf, how dare he extort Roxanne? Did he have a death wish?

Sarah did not dare look for Roxanne anymore. She had to get a clear explanation from her son first. If her son had really extorted Roxanne, she would have to bring him along to apologize to her and clear things up.

With one eye blind and no money with her, Sarah had nowhere she could go and thus pretended to be a beggar. During the day, she slept underneath bridges and rustled through garbage cans for food to eat at night. Whenever she had time, she would swing by her son’s rented place, hoping she could meet him there.

That night, Sarah returned to where her son lived to take another look. When she got there and saw police cars parked outside, and a crowd of onlookers gathered outside her son’s place, she pretended to be another nosy passerby as she walked up to the crowd.

She pieced together what had happened through the chatter. Ap

    Ella was still deep in thought when Linda pushed the door open and walked in with a bowl. “Ms. Ella, you haven’t fallen asleep yet?” Ella nodded. Linda handed over the bowl she was holding and said, “I noticed you hadn’t eaten much during dinner, so I prepared you some bird’s nest. Try it.” “Thank you, Linda!” Ella was touched. “No need to thank me. You’re pregnant now, and you should take more nutritious food. It’s our duty to make sure you’re taken care of.” The smile on Ella’s face faded when she heard Linda say that. Why should they be bothered about nutrition when they did not even know if she could continue carrying the baby? Linda had been working at the Turner family for so many years that she was now an expert at gauging people’s moods from the look on their faces. She knew that Ella was feeling nervous when she saw the look on her face, and thus asked tentatively, “Ms. Ella, what are you thinking now?” Ella had a complicated look on her face as she glanced at Lind

    “Master Turner doesn’t know that you’re pregnant yet. But he’s a big fan of children and treats Ms. Yates’s kids kindly. You’re pregnant with his child. I’m sure he’ll like the child.” Linda continued persuading Ella and knew she had a chance of success when Ella did not flat-out refuse. “Ms. Ella, I’m here to ask a favor from you today. Why don’t you give birth to the child since Madam Turner likes kids so much? Think of it as repaying the kindness Master Turner showed when he saved your life.” Yosef’s saving her life was a favor she could never repay, and she wanted to carry the child herself. Thus, Ella nodded after hesitating for a short while. Linda happily went back to tell Madam Turner the good news after seeing her nod. Upon taking care of Timmy, Susan and Max began discussing leaving South City to go into hiding for a short while. How could Jackson let them get away so easily? Before Susan and Max could even get started, their only source of income, the beauty salon, was

    “Terminal stage stomach cancer!” the doctor replied. “How is that possible?” Yvonne thought she had misheard him and widened her eyes as she stared at the doctor. “Could there have been a mistake?” “There wouldn’t have been a mistake. We’ve already asked an expert to confirm the diagnoses…” the doctor sighed. Yvonne’s mood sank to the deepest of pits. She would not have imagined that this would happen even in her wildest dreams. She had hated Jared, but she had never thought he would be diagnosed with an illness as terminal as such. “Doctor, is there any way he could be cured?” The doctor shook his head. “All we can do is try to prolong his life as much as possible…” Yvonne’s footsteps were heavy as she walked into the emergency room, where Jared had already regained consciousness. Tears appeared in his eyes when he saw Yvonne. “Yvonne… my daughter!” When Yvonne saw Jared, her nose became stuffy as tears welled and then flowed from her eyes. “Dad!” This was the first ti

    Yvonne got up and walked out of the room with Ms. Lane. When the door closed, Jared heaved a long sigh and said, “I don’t have much time left.” “Don’t worry about that and focus on healing. You’ll recover if you work with the doctor’s treatment plans,” Jackson said comfortingly. “I know my body’s condition. I called you here today because I have something to tell you.” Jared heaved another long sigh before he said, “I’m having an internal investigation conducted against me!” “What did you say?” Jackson was shocked. “When did that happen?” “The official notification is not out yet, but I’m sure it’s coming soon. I called you here because I wanted you to make some arrangements for after my death.” Jared had a complicated look in his eyes as he gazed at Jackson and said, “I’ll be handing Yvonne over to you. I hope that you will treat her well.” “Don’t worry. I will treat her well,” Jackson promised. “I don’t think your issue is that serious. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to h

    “Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid,” Calvin said as he grinned. “As long as you listen to me and remain obedient, I won’t tell anyone about what happened.” Roxanne had no other choice and decided she would let Calvin have his way for a few more days before getting rid of him. Jared had not told Yvonne about how there would be an internal investigation launched against him, and Yvonne was shocked when Ms. Lane called her and told her about it. She immediately raced to the hospital. Yvonne did not know what had happened, but she guessed that it had something to do with Jared’s government job and that it was connected to the phone call he had received before his illness struck. She decided to ask Jared herself at the hospital. She raced over to the hospital’s wards, where the elevator doors opened the minute she walked up to them. Yvonne stared in shock as Jared was helped out by two other people. “Dad!” She did not finish the rest of her sentence because she noticed that her f

    Roxanne brought Fiona back to her apartment from the hospital. Seeing Roxanne having such a spacious apartment, Fiona took a glance around the place. “Not bad, this place is quite beautiful! I like it!”Roxanne was happy when she saw Fiona satisfied. “Fiona, have a seat first, I will make something for you to eat.”Fiona was sitting on the sofa, having some snacks while Roxanne went to prepare food for her. It was at that moment where Calvin came back and greeted Fiona with a smile. “You are Fiona, right? I am your uncle, Calvin.”Fiona squinted at Calvin. The person in front of her was not tall, he was tan and skinny, with a wretched face. He did not look like a good man at first glance. ‘The people that Roxanne hung around were all cultured professionals, since when did she know such a sketchy person? How did she even take notice of him?’ Fiona snorted. "Uncle? Sir, please do not try to randomly find a relation between the two of us.”“I am really your uncle, I am cousins with yo

    ‘If I can get Calvin to cause Yvonne to lose her child, wouldn’t I be killing two birds with one stone?’Fiona felt so smart at the thought of this. Harboring the idea that she could make use of Calvin, she felt less hostile towards him and started to approach him in person, saying that she was too young and did not recognize him. Now that she had heard about everything from Roxanne, she felt sorry for her previous attitude towards him. Calvin knew that Roxanne and Susan were not good people, but he did not expect Fiona to be worse. When she apologized to him while sporting such a huge belly, he forgot about her arrogance and impoliteness from the start. He even started to think of her as a kind person. Fiona started work on her plan when she noticed that Calvin had fallen into her trap. In order for him to drop his defenses, she often brought him out for meals at high-end restaurants. Calvin started to trust her as days went by when he saw how Fiona was treating him well.Today,

    Fiona cried loudly after falling hard onto the ground, and Yvonne was startled.Fiona covered her tummy with her hand in pain on the ground and shouted hysterically, “It hurts… It really hurts... Help me!”Fiona’s cry frightened everyone. The bodyguard and Yvonne immediately looked at her. Yvonne motioned for him to let go of Calvin and Calvin ignored the injury on his face and rushed to Fiona. “Fiona, are you okay?”“My body hurts… My tummy hurts…” Fiona’s face was twisted in pain. Calvin had never encountered something like this before. When he saw Fiona suffering in pain, he was also dumbfounded and did not know what to do at that moment. Fiona felt liquid flowing out of her body and was horrified. She grasped onto Calvin’s hand and pleaded, “Send me to the hospital now, my children… It hurts…”Seeing Fiona’s pants being drenched in blood, Yvonne was also dumbfounded and her dissatisfaction and hatred towards her disappeared instantly. Nothing was more important than a perso

    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
