Chapter 1539 "Mr. Atherton, Miss Atherton was diagnosed with leukemia at birth. Mrs. Atherton was badly injured at that time. If it weren't for the Brown family, Mrs. Atherton and Miss Atherton would have..." Lucas reported on the phone. Edwin could imagine how miserable Joanne was when she was taking care of Tail in the hospital, and she was badly injured. His eyes darkened. "Bring me Tail's medical records," Edwin ordered. With the medical records, he could gather all the medical specialists to give Tail a consultation to prevent the recurrence of leukemia.Since Edwin didn't ask anything else, Lucas asked curiously, "Mr. Atherton, don’t you want to know who donated bone marrow to Miss Atherton at that time?" "Give him money in return," Edwin grunted. Lucas was silent on the other end of the line for a moment. Then he said hesitantly, "Mr. Atherton, do you want to reconsider it?" Edwin only cared about Joanne, so he didn't give much thought to the person who dona
Chapter 1540"You..." The seriousness on Harry's face immediately turned to anger. He held one hand over his chest, as if he was so enraged that he couldn't breathe. "I've introduced you to so many noble ladies over the years, but you wouldn't look at any of them. You insisted on marrying Sharon, and I allowed you because I knew you couldn't forget Joanne. But why did you marry Joanna? She had divorced before and has a daughter! What do you think people will say about you?" Edwin suddenly narrowed his eyes, a frightening look in his eyes. "Isn't that all thanks to you?" Harry was silent. "If you hadn't forced Joanne to sign the divorce papers in my name four years ago, maybe I'd have several kids by now." Harry was choked. He was silent for a long time. Sometimes he wondered why he had done all of these things. He had driven Joanne away to find a woman from a powerful family for Edwin, but Edwin had always held a grudge against him for that. And now, Edwin ma
Chapter 1541All of Harry’s hope and nervousness turned into rage. ‘Since Edwin loves Joanne deeply, he is unlikely to lock Tail if she is his daughter.‘So, Edwin is raising another man’s daughter, and he is willing to do so. Huh! He must have gone mad!’Harry tried hard to suppress his wrath and took the matter further. "Doesn't Joanne love my son dearly? If that girl is not my granddaughter, who is her father?"Sensing Harry’s stubbornness, Callum, Harry’s assistant, felt resigned. "I hear that Mr. Atherton did a paternity test between that girl and Patrick. The result shows that... they are father and daughter."Harry’s entire face became distorted with fury. He was thoroughly disgusted. ‘What a brainless thing Noah has done! She made Joanne and Patrick sleep together. Now Joanne has his daughter! Bah!’…Back at the office of the Atherton Group, Edwin called the private hospital and directed that Harry should be shut out of the hospital.At the same time, he found an agi
Chapter 1542The sun was setting, and the clouds were brimmed with golden color. The evening sky was beautiful. Edwin had arranged for the cook to prepare a great dinner. There was so much delicious food that Tail ate too much. After dinner, Joanne took Tail for a walk in the garden to help her digest the food. "Tail, do you want to go to kindergarten?" Joanne asked after they had walked around the garden. "Go to kindergarten?" Tail looked up at Joanne with a confused look on her face. "Yes. You will meet lots of friends and teachers in the kindergarten. You can make friends with them." Joanne explained to Tail seriously. She made going to kindergarten sound like fun. Tail looked at Joanne and said in a pitiful voice, "Mummy, you said you would take me to go on set, didn't you?" "It doesn’t matter if you want to go to kindergarten and also want to go shooting with me. I'm not going to be filming all the time." Joanne showed a hesitant look. In fact, she thought it
Chapter 1543 Joanne immediately covered Tail's eyes and ears. The staff nearby were stunned at the sound of the strike. Then panicked voices rang out in quick succession, "The billboard fell down! Help! We have an emergency here..." Joanne was freaked out. Her heart was in her mouth. She hugged Tail tightly and asked in a shaky voice as she nervously examined her daughter, "Are you hurt?" Tail's arms went numb from Joanne's grip. Her eyes were wide and her face was pale. She looked like a fragile doll. Her body was shaking in Joanne's arms. The little girl must have been terrified. Joanne was relieved to see that Tail was not hurt and only got some dust on her clothes. "Thank God! You're not hurt. Don't be afraid. I'm here." "Mama..." Feeling Joanne's concern, Tail finally made a sound, and her eyes welled up with tears. "It's so scary." Joanne knelt down in front of her daughter and touched the girl’s frightened face. "Don't be afraid. It was an accident.
Chapter 1544Joanne's phone rang almost at the same time.She glanced at the screen and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.She hesitated and then thought it could be the crew calling. So, she put Tail back to bed and went to the balcony to answer it."You and your daughter got away this time, but you might not be so lucky next time."The hoarse, subdued voice belonged to a man who she hadn't seen for a long time. Even so, she was able to recognize it immediately. She was surprised and felt a surge of anger rushing to her head.Regardless of her image, she gritted her teeth and growled."Harry Atherton? You monster!"Harry was not annoyed by her curses but chuckled. "It's good that you're scared. Remember, keep your love child from my son. Otherwise, I don't mind making your lovely daughter a dead body.""Don't you dare!" Joanne seethed."Try me. I made you disappear four years ago. I can do it again. This time, it'll be you and your daughter."Joanne was stunned.Four ye
Chapter 1545'Damn it! How am I supposed to explain this to Mr. Atherton?'If only she had known better than to step outside for a phone call. She should have always stayed by the mother and daughter's side.Speak of the devil...Before Sonia could even locate Joanne, Edwin came racing to the hospital. His face, usually so playful and carefree, had turned blue with worry and fear. The veins on his forehead bulged with tension.When he arrived at the ward, he found only empty rooms."Where is everyone?" he asked.Sonia hung her head in shame. "I... I came back from my phone call and found that Mrs. Atherton and her daughter were gone. The nurse said they had been discharged.""Discharged?" Edwin fumed. "I told you to protect them around the clock! The billboard nearly smashed them, and you let them leave the hospital?"A wave of oppression washed over Sonia, and she felt even more guilty. "I'll go find them right away.""Wait."Edwin called out to her before she could leave.
Chapter 1546"But I'm remarried now," Joanne said.Jack pondered for a moment and looked reluctant. "It's not like you cared about that marriage contract, and isn't it only valid for three months? In that case, I'll wait for three months, and then I'll give Tail and you a warm home.""I appreciate your kindness, but I can't marry you."Things would not work out, and she would rather break his illusion sooner than later.Jack had no lack of women and even less of beautiful women.His family would never accept a woman like her who had a child and was divorced.It was better not to start than to make everyone awkward later.Jack felt frustrated."Am I that unpopular? I don't think I'm inferior to Edwin.""No, you're a playboy, but not a total jerk," Joanne said seriously. "You can't compare yourself to a man like him."Jack was surprised by her compliment and laughed. Only there was a hint of dismay in his laughter.In the past, he wooed women by just giving them gifts.They
