Chapter 1525Edwin's long fingers pulled off Joanne's shirt...When her body was exposed to the cold air, Joanne got goosebumps, and her heart sank. She was filled with disappointment."Tail is not like what you said! She did live streams just for interest..."Her mouth was suddenly blocked by Edwin, and his masculine smell completely enveloped her....The sunlight outside the window dimmed.After some time when Edwin untied Joanne's hands, she was in a daze.It was summer. She couldn't even go out in her summer clothes.What alarmed Joanne most was that Tail's crying had stopped in the guest bedroom, where there was no sound at all.As soon as Joanne was released, she managed to sit up and tried to go to the guest bedroom to check on Tail, but unfortunately, she had no strength left.The contented Edwin narrowed his eyes slightly and helped her up from behind.He was just about to tease her when a tear suddenly fell onto the back of his hand.Edwin instantly turned wide
Chapter 1526At the sight of the weak Tail, Joanne felt as if her heart had been pierced, with tears welling up in her eyes. "Tail,” she uttered. Nervousness, worry, anxiety, regret... She had mixed emotions.The next second, she left Edwin’s arms and rushed to pick Tail up from the floor.Due to little strength, the moment Joanne took Tail up, she staggered and then fell down hard on the floor, making a dull and loud sound.When Edwin saw them fall, a wave of sadness came over him.The image in which Tail had scolded him actively came to mind. But now, Tail was frail, totally different from her previous liveliness. Edwin felt anguished, as his heart seemed to be grabbed."Call a doctor! Now!" Joanne shouted at Edwin, embracing Tail tight.With a dark face, Edwin called Lucas at once and then took Tail from Joanne’s arms.As soon as he hugged Tail, he found her body hot all over.She was running a fever.And... She was quite light and skinny. Her bones were against his ar
Chapter 1527Edwin thought in his heart. 'If I have heard Joanne correctly, Joanne said that Tail had leukemia?'Edwin walked to the corridor outside the ward and ordered Lucas secretly, "Go to Mourpa again and reinvestigate Tail's medical records."After Lucas heard that Tail had leukemia before, he nodded. "Poor Tail! She's just three and a half years old. She looks happy in the live streams. Surprisingly, she suffered from such a serious illness when she was a baby."'No wonder Tail's face always looks abnormally pale.'Her face doesn't turn red unless she gets angry.'Somehow, when Edwin heard Lucas' words, Edwin felt heartbroken.Edwin's face clouded over. He pressed his heart tightly with his palm...Seeing Edwin's poker face, Lucas added euphemistically, "Luckily, Miss Tail found matched marrow, and she has no signs of relapse. She will be fine."Although Lucas said so, Edwin didn't feel relieved."Please set off to investigate it immediately."Lucas nodded. "OK."Af
Chapter 1528Edwin stifled a grunt and quickly stood up, sucking in cool air discreetly.The porridge, fresh out of the oven, had been delivered here at top speed.Immediately, his chest was scalded red.Joanne didn't expect Edwin to get burned. A trace of concern flashed in her eyes before she spoke in a hard voice. "As I said, I don't want to eat. Tail isn't your daughter, so you don't have to worry about her. But I do. If you are hungry, you can go ahead and eat."The veins popped on Edwin's forehead. "I didn't know she was so weak."Joanne was speechless."That's not the excuse you can lock a three-year-old child up in a dark room. Would you do that to your daughter?"Edwin's eyes were filled with deep frustration. He had done that in a fit of pique.His eyes stared at Joanne unblinkingly."What can I do to make you satisfied?"Joanne said with a poker face, "You can't, not until Tail wakes up.""You know that's not what I meant." He was trying to get her to accept his
Chapter 1529'I'm sorry for making you so distraught.'And sorry for hurting your daughter...'Even though Edwin really hated the fact that Joanne had a daughter with Patrick, he was simultaneously depressed and chagrined.Why couldn't Tail be his daughter?Edwin's voice was low.A breeze blew in through the window and drowned out his voice....Joanne woke up with the urge to pee.She found herself lying in a soft bed.It was dark around her. Through the gap in the curtains, Joanne could vaguely see the flashing colorful lights on the skyscrapers outside the window.Joanne thought, 'Why was I asleep? Tail is having an IV. Is there anyone accompanying her?'Joanne panicked, lifted the blanket, and strode toward Tail's room.In the silent corridor outside the VIP ward on the top floor, even a pin drop could be heard.As Joanne got close to Tail's room, she heard a deep, charming voice reading the story The Little Prince..."... I will live on one of the stars, smiling, an
Chapter 1530"I know you're afraid that I'll mistreat her, but I really didn't mean to do that today. I promise you that I won't do it again in the future, and you need to plan for her future."Joanne was stunned.'Future?'Tail was weak. It was lucky for her to live. It was not that Joanne didn't think about Tail's future. She just didn't dare to have any hope.Joanne subconsciously pinched Edwin's hand.Her fingernails sank into his flesh...The back of Edwin's hand soon bled, but he only embraced her harder. Sweat dripped down his forehead onto her neck."The environment of the set is not good. Moreover, Tail is already three and a half years old. She can go to kindergarten, and if you don't let her get an education, she won't even know how to read. Puffy could read when she was two. Now she can recite many famous poems.Joanne didn't want to talk to him about Tail's education. His actions today had completely disappointed her.He didn't deserve to be Tail's father."Edwi
Chapter 1531As if to prove she was not lying, Joanne locked eyes with Edwin and said disgustedly, "The smell from your scald makes me feel sick."Edwin's elegance, which had been maintained for the whole night, instantly disappeared.His face darkened as he said through clenched teeth, "Say that again."Seeing his sullen face, Joanne put a finger on her lips and chided with a regretful look, "Keep your voice down. Don't disturb Tail."She pushed Edwin out of the ward. "Go to the doctor. I will stay here."Edwin clasped her wrist, thinking, 'Does she really not care about me at all?'"Go with me.""No...""I'll have a nurse watch Tail. Don't forget who got me hurt like this."Edwin guessed her answer and quickly cut her off. He dragged Joanne away.Inside the doctor's office.The doctor looked in shock at Edwin's bloodied chest and abdomen.He thought, 'I gave Mr. Atherton the ointment for the burns. Why does it not work? His wounds are even getting worse.'The doctor put
Chapter 1532Edwin looked pale, and he was putting on a show. With that bloody chest, he seemed really weak.Joanne decided to ignore him.No matter how much it hurt, Edwin asked for it.Even if he was covered in wounds, Tail suffered much more than him...However, despite this thought, Joanne's hands naturally spread the hospital gown, raised the right sleeve, and then grabbed Edwin's arm to put it in.Edwin smiled slightly with smugness when she wasn't looking.When his eyes inadvertently glanced at the hickeys on her neck, his pupils suddenly shrank.He made love to her so fiercely that her body was covered with the hickeys. When Joanne came to the hospital, she had to wear a silk scarf and pull her collar up.As Joanne put his other arm into the sleeve, Edwin turned his head. His thin, cool lips just brushed past her delicate earlobe.Edwin thought, 'Damn, she's so seductive.'Yet Joanne didn't even notice the small change in his emotions."Okay, I'll do it myself." Edw
