Roxanne picked up the newspaper, and her face darkened as she took her first glimpse. She was featured in the newspaper’s front page. She was described in the media as having tainted medical ethics, and not only did she perform artificial insemination without the patient’s consent, but she also had a tumultuous private life and had affairs with several men.Roxanne’s expression darkened, and the dean’s icy voice emerged, “You can look for another job. Our hospital has no need for a person like you!” The dean flung the notice of her dismissal in her face and stormed away, infuriated. She felt ashamed and furious, but she eventually left the hospital and returned home, utterly frustrated.‘That b*tch Susan must have done this along with her partner in crime, Calvin,’ Roxanne gritted her teeth in hatred as she cursed in her mind, and schemed of ways to deal with Susan and Calvin. However, when she arrived home, the house had been flipped upside down, and all of her possessions had been
Susan and Sarah, on the other hand, were all over each other as well. Sarah, although having one blind eye, had been a nanny for many years, and she was unlike Susan, a noblewoman. Susan was at a disadvantage, as she was beaten by Sarah and had no chance of retaliating.Max and Susan could no longer fight back. Jasper fetched a rope to bind them both, then turned to Sebastian, who had helped in tricking Susan to open the door, and shook his hand. “I appreciate all of your help. You are no longer required to remain here. You may leave first. Leave the rest to us!” Sebastian nodded and left. Susan and Max were being brutally glared at by Jasper and Susan. When Susan observed the viciousness in their glares, she knew the odds were against them rather than in their favor, so she passed the blame onto Roxanne. “It was Roxanne who killed your son, not us.”“You still dare to debate when faced with imminent death. Roxanne is no better either, but you and Max were the ones who did the deed
Roxanne was gravely injured and was transported to the hospital for emergency treatment, while Sarah and Jasper were taken to the police station.Yvonne soon knew of the incident, that Susan and Max had been burned alive, and Roxanne had been rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. What awaited her was a lifetime in prison to serve her sentence. The perpetrators who murdered her mother一一all got their dues end. Although her mother had been avenged, Yvonne did not feel joy in the slightest. If it were possible, she would rather have her mother back than having vengeance for her. Roxanne was rescued from life-threatening injuries by a doctor in the hospital. After several days of rehabilitation, she finally regained consciousness. Roxanne’s thoughts were all about Fiona since she regained her consciousness, and she questioned herself. ‘If I ended up like this, what would happen to Fiona?’ Roxanne had her mind occupied with Fiona the entire time. However, Fiona did not miss her
When Yvonne visited Jared at the hospital, he mentioned Fiona and the antique paintings. He hoped that Yvonne could either give Fiona one of the paintings or give some money for her to live a better life.Although Yvonne did not take money that seriously, she was outraged with Jared’s request. Those paintings were Frank’s belongings, but Jared shamelessly took possession of them, and now he still dared to ask about them. Hence, Yvonne asked Jared, “Talking about the paintings, I have something to ask you. You said that the paintings were inherited from the family, but is that really the case?”Jared felt a little awkward. “Of course it is from the family, otherwise where could I have that huge amount of money to buy something that expensive?Yvonne did not expect that Jared would still quibble at this time. The reason that she kept telling herself not to argue was that she did not want to embarrass him. However, Jared’s attitude disappointed her thoroughly today. She sneered and ask
Yvonne did not refuse it since she said this and she took a few sips of the soup. The two chatted familiarly for a while and Jade asked Yvonne to move back to the Millers’ house, so that she could take care of her.Yvonne understood her intention. “I’m used to living here, I won’t be able to adapt to the sudden move. We’ll discuss it after the child is born.“Yvonne, just give me a chance. Let me take care of you during your childbirth. I promise that I will love you like a mother would.” Jade begged.The word mother made Yvonne tear up. It had been years since she was married to Jackson. Although she always addressed Jade as Mother, she knew that she had never accepted her internally. Now that her expression was full of expectation and her words were sincere, Yvonne knew she really wanted to make it up for her. However this was not the time, she could only thank her. Jade was disappointed and left after Yvonne still refused to move back.At night when Jackson came back, Jade told
Fiona could not dodge and her face was splashed with water. That splash of water on her face revealed her true appearance. The makeup that was supposed to fool Jared was all washed away. He was mad that he almost coughed blood again when he saw that she tried to deceive him this way.He directly pointed at Fiona at that moment and screamed, “B*tch, get f*ck out of here!”“Father, are you mad? I’m Fiona, your daughter?”“Get lost! You b*stard illegitimate child!” Jared’s hand was shaking. Jackson sneered. “Miss Summers, have a look at this!”Fiona took the DNA test report and looked at it. “Whose is this?”“It’s Secretary Summers’s and yours. Do you still think that you are still his daughter?”“This is impossible! “Fiona was stupefied, she always thought that she was Jared’s daughter. She never dreamt she was actually not related to him.“How is it impossible? Your mother, Susan Lowe, was a well-known hussy back when she was at Cat Lane. As for whose child Miss Summers is, it re
“I really made a mistake with you in the past. I trusted you as my best friend. It’s funny to think about it now. You were a noble woman on the outside but a vicious viper on the inside. You committed adultery with gangsters and had a relationship with Jared Summers. Apart from harming me, you also killed your own sister. How could you be so vicious, Roxanne Moss?” Jade Lewis confronted her.“I did not!”“Roxanne, don’t deny it. I knew everything about you. I didn't come here to see how you are today, I’m here just to see how retribution catches up to you. By the way, I shall tell you the truth of the incident to make you happy.” Jade looked at Roxanne contemptuously. ‘How will this vicious woman react once she knows that Fiona was not her biological daughter?’Roxanne bowed her head and was afraid to look at Jade when she saw that she contemptuously looked at her. Even though Jade had a bad temper and she was snobbish, she was really good to her. She would share the good things wit
“No! I don’t believe it!” Roxanne screamed. ‘If whatever they said was right, then my plan all this while benefitted Susan’s daughter and it ruined Ella, who was my biological daughter.’ It would be impossible for Roxanne to accept the fact that she killed her own daughter.“I suppose I know why you don’t want to admit all this, you used Ella to scheme against Jackson and you are worried that this incident will be exposed thus you send Lil Nine to kill Ella. You deny all these acts because you don’t want to admit that you killed Ella with your own hands but this is the truth. It is also true that Ella is your daughter and if you don’t believe it, you can do a DNA test with Fiona to see the results.”Roxanne was about to break down. “I am not doing it, Fiona is my daughter, there is no point for you to provoke me. I will not believe it!”“Roxanne, you are really stubborn. You don’t have to deny it anymore, we did a DNA test with your hair and Ella’s hair. The result showed that both
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
