”Thank you, President Miller.” Yvonne tried her best to sound normal. “President Miller, could you please lend me your phone?”Hearing her speak in such a formal manner, a throb of pain pulsed in his head. He was speechless as he passed the phone to her.Yvonne’s hands were trembling as she dialed Sandra’s phone number, “Sandra, please come over and pick me up.”Jackson stared at her for a few seconds before telling her the location coldly. Yvonne repeated the address once more and hung up the phone. She returned the phone to Jackson and thanked him. Jackson snorted, “Why are you just standing there? Do you need me to invite you over for a seat before you'll sit down?”Yvonne had no intention to remain in front of this man for a minute longer, especially after she had experienced such things. She was too embarrassed, but she still wanted to maintain her pride.“Thank you for last night. I should leave!” She turned around after saying that.A trace of frustration flashed across
When Sandra arrived at the hospital, Yvonne was put on fluid therapy. Jackson’s face was worried as he sat beside her ward bed, and Sandra could see Jackson holding Yvonne’s hand. She rushed forward, “Miller, what have you done to Yvonne?”“Be quiet!” It was rare for Jackson to be in a good mood. “She got into an incident.” “What happened? Miller, Yvonne went on a date with her boyfriend last night. Why is she with you now? What do you want from her? Is having an affair not torture enough for Yvonne? Do you still want to ruin her hard-earned happiness, which hasn't come by easily?” Sandra did not have a good impression of Jackson, so she did not watch her words. Jackson did not refute her. What happened last night had indeed been bad for Yvonne. He had already taken care of the police to stop the news from getting out, as he was afraid that if the news was disclosed it would affect Yvonne badly. Although Sandra was Yvonne’s best friend, it would be better the fewer people knew a
"He has a very simple motive—you embarrassed him thoroughly. He’ll have to get some of his dignity back, won’t he?" Sandra Willis reminded Yvonne."Will he?" Yvonne still found herself unconvinced that Jackson Miller would do something like that."I’m just reminding you that the human heart is sinister and that Miller has shown that he’s capable of something so disgusting since the beginning. You must be wary against him. As far as I’m concerned, just make sure that you aren’t grateful to him for this. Remember—he’s the reason you’ve even become like this!"Yvonne nodded, "I know. Rest assured, I won't have anything to do with him!"Sandra did not believe that Vincent Harold would intentionally set up Yvonne, and neither did Jackson. Jackson suspected that someone else was pulling the strings behind the scenes. As far as the relationship between Yvonne and Zachary Quimby was concerned, the Quimbys would be the first to come to his mind.Although Zachary had a bad reputation, Old M
"Yvonne is only like that because she resents us. It’s us who have wronged her in the beginning. Her resentment is justified. You should see her more often, and perhaps, you’ll touch her heart as time passes," Susan persuaded Jared."No matter how resentful she is, she mustn’t treat the most important day of her life as a joke. Just look at the person she found! What kind of person is he?" Jared was angered just thinking about it."All the more reason to persuade her!" Susan acted like a virtuous stepmother. "I asked Ms. Lane to buy fresh seafood today. Give them to Yvonne. Use this opportunity to talk to her. She’s still your child, no matter what. You can’t just abandon her!"The way Susan spoke sounded as though she actually harbored good feelings for Yvonne. Jared was very satisfied with her actions and soon went out with the freshly bought seafood in hand.Fiona remained at the side the whole time. She could not figure out why her mother did that. Her mother hated Yvonne as mu
"The doctor said she’s just down with a little fever. Nothing a drip can’t solve." Jared sighed, glancing at his well-behaved and sensible daughter. "Fiona, about you and Jackson… I think we should forget about it.""Dad, what do you mean?" Fiona turned pale suddenly."What happened?" Susan was also taken aback by Jared's tactless announcement."I saw Jackson Miller in Yvonne’s ward." Jared hesitated for a moment and decided that telling the truth would benefit everyone."Has he found out the relationship between you and Yvonne?" Susan's heart sank. If Jackson Miller found out about Jared and Yvonne's relationship at this juncture, Fiona would have to abandon all hopes of getting engaged to Jackson."No, I’m just thinking. Jackson staying at Yvonne’s side when she’s sick just proves Jackson’s feelings for Yvonne. We all know what happened between Fiona and Jackson. If it wasn’t because Yvonne can’t give birth, none of this would’ve happened. Now that Yvonne’s back and Jackson seem
It never occurred to Fiona that her mother could have planned all this. She was now convinced that her mother was no ordinary woman—she would not give anyone a way out once she set her sights on them. Yvonne Yates would soon die.However, recalling Jared clakming that Jackson had stayed behind at Yvonne’s ward, Fiona felt as uncomfortable as a cat clawing at her chest. "Mom, Jackson is staying by Yvonne’s side right now.""Don't worry, I’ll make him unable to stay there any longer!" Susan sneered. Then, she picked up her phone to call Jade Lewis.When Jade heard that Jackson was watching over Yvonne in the hospital, she was furious. Her son was the classic example of thinking with his second head—how dare he willingly go to the woman after all the harm that the woman brought onto them. Therefore, she hastily ordered her driver to bring her to the hospital.Since her son chose to obsess over the woman, Jade would have to play the villain again. Jade pushed open the door to the ward
This time, Jade had experienced Sandra’s power. "What’s so good about that woman? She’s vicious, unfilial, and can’t bear children. Why do you keep clinging to her? You don't know how horribly she insulted me just now. She embarrassed me thoroughly!"As she spoke, Jade began to wipe off the tears that trickled from her eyes. Jackson frowned. His eyes flashed with impatience as he said, "I’ll send you home!”On the way home, Jade brought up how vicious and evil Yvonne and Sandra were. Jackson remained in silence for a long while until he reached his limit. "Mom, you can stop pretending now. I heard everything you said just now."Jade's face exploded with redness. "What did you hear?""Mom, I'm your son. Don’t you feel tired from pretending all the time?""What am I pretending to do? I simply told her to stay away from you. Am I wrong?" Jade remained unreasonable."No, you’re not wrong. It’s me who’s at fault. I’m the one who has approached Yvonne so brazenly. Do you get it now?”
Jade knew that Jackson was not kidding. In the three years after Yvonne left, she had been living with her son. Besides Fiona, there was no other woman who got near him. The reason Fiona was allowed to meet him was because Jade made sure of it. After three years, her son and Fiona's relationship still had not gotten any further.That was the first time her son told her what was on his mind. Jade sighed dejectedly. "What evil have I done in my past life to deserve this?”Yvonne not going to work for a day felt as painful as a cat’s scratch on Zachary’s heart. ‘This woman is really too much. Can’t she at least apply for leave if she’s not coming to work? What is she trying to do?’‘She’s probably out happily with her sweetheart.’ When Zachary thought of that, he got especially angry. Initially, he wanted to call Yvonne directly, but when he realized that would make him look bad, he got Felix to call Yvonne to warn her that she could forget about her job if she was not coming to work.
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
