Once her pregnancy was known to Madam Langford, Cindy was sure that she would be the luckiest woman on earth!“How is Grandma? Why can’t we go inside to visit her?” Cindy asked.Samuel replied, “Grandma still needs some assistance in moving around. We’ll have to wait for a while.”‘Does that mean…’‘Is it like the doctor said? Did the old fart’s condition get so bad, to the point she’s now paralyzed?’Cindy almost laughed out loud. ‘Serves her right! How dare she treat me with disrespect in the past? Look at her now!’Right at this moment, someone pushed the door of the ward and the doctor announced, “Mr. Langford, Madam Langford is in the clear for now.”“However, she’s still too weak to accept too many visits. At the moment, she only wants Mr. Langford to see her at the moment.”“What about me? I’m Mr. Langford’s wife. Can I go in too?” Cindy asked, displeased. The doctor’s reply was immediate. “Of course you can!”Cindy heaved a sigh of relief.The doctor added, “Your na
Lying weakly on the bed, Madam Langford looked older and more frail than before.Tina bawled her eyes out the moment she saw the old lady.“Grandma!”Madam Langford, who was motionless on the bed, looked over with hazy eyes.“Tina…? Is that you?” she asked weakly.“Yes, it’s me.”Tina couldn’t believe Madam Langford’s vision had deteriorated to a point the latter couldn’t even recognize her.“Grandma, I’m here. I’m so sorry…”Madam Langford chuckled, “There, there, child. Don’t apologize.”Madam Langfod mustered all her strength just to give a reply.She wanted to caress Tina’s head, but she could only move her finger. Tina got even more emotional as she placed Madam Langford’s hand on her cheek.“Grandma, I’m so sorry for making you worried. It’s all my fault! As long as you can recover, I’m willing to do anything for you!”Samuel looked at her crying face and immediately felt disgust surging in him.‘I applaud her acting skills,’ he thought.If Tina really cared for his
“Samuel, get rid of the baby now! Or else, I’ll…!” Madam Langford stopped, unable to speak anymore.She was so riled up that the machines connected to her blared their sirens, indicating an emergency.The visitors couldn’t stay in the hospital ward any longer, for fear of endangering Madam Langford’s life. The medical staff politely asked them to leave.“How can she say that?!” Cindy wailed with a pitiful expression, “Samuel, I thought Grandma wanted a great-grandchild! I know she doesn’t really like me, but how could she say something like that? Our child is innocent!”At that moment, Cindy hated that old b*tch and Tina to the core.These two kept interfering with her relationship with Samuel. What was more, they kept embarrassing her in front of everyone.Samuel pulled Cindy into an embrace and promptly comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you abort the child.”“But… What about Grandma?”“I’ll talk to Grandma about this,” Samuel said firmly, his tone domineering. “Right n
At the manor…Cindy discovered the contents of Madam Langford’s conversation with Samuel through the phone.Furious, she exploded into a series of curses.“That f*cking old fart! She should just die already! Before this, she wanted me to get an abortion. But now, she doesn’t even want me to stay in the Langford family after the baby’s born! What an evil b*tch! She still wouldn’t accept me as her granddaughter-in-law even at her deathbed!”In all truthfulness, Cindy wasn’t actually pregnant.In fact, she was just faking it to get Samuel’s approval and attention.Tina, on the other hand, had a baby on the way.The reason Cindy allowed Tina to live until now was because she wanted to claim Tina’s child as her own. That child could guarantee her status in the Langford family!Who knew that old b*tch had already thought about getting rid of Cindy so early on?Victor tried to calm her down. “Miss Young, I don’t think Mr. Langford will do as told.”“Bah! As long as Madam Langford is
“Yes, I am.” Anxious, Tina asked, “Doctor, is there anything I should pay attention to?”“We’ll be responsible for doing her medical checkups. You should pay attention to her hygiene. For example, washing her hair, helping her change, and disinfecting everything around her.”While the doctor was speaking, he sized up Tina.“Being a caregiver is not a one-man job. It’s very mentally taxing and physically exhausting as well. Are you sure you can handle it?”“I can!” Tina said. “I’ve done hard labor before. This is nothing to me.”The doctor complied. “Alright, then. I wish you all the best.”“Thank you, doctor.” When Tina was about to leave, the doctor stopped her and gave her stern advice.“Right, I almost forgot. Make sure to not upset Madam Langford in any way. Today, she almost relapsed the moment she woke up. It’s best to refrain from telling her anything that will get her riled up for no reason. It’s important that she has peace of mind.”“Alright, I understand.” Tina nodde
The person who blocked Tina’s way was none other than Victor.Tina was immediately wary of him.She knew Victor was Cindy’s subordinate.When Cindy plotted her murder, Victor was one of her accomplices.Was he trying to harm her again?Tina put up her guard and frowned. “What are you plotting again?”Victor gave her a hollow laugh.“Miss Lynd, Mr. Langford is inside the ward right now. What can I do to you in broad daylight?”What he said made sense.Samuel was just behind her. If she screamed loudly, it would definitely catch his attention.“What do you want from me?”“Can we talk somewhere else?” Victor suggested. “There’s a cafe near the hospital. Let’s go.”Tina rejected him immediately.“I won’t go with you. Did Cindy ask you to approach me again? I need to take care of Madam Langford right now. I can’t just leave.”Victor’s complexion changed. “You’re such a kind person, Miss Lynd. Madam Langford is very lucky to have you as her granddaughter-in-law.”“Cut the crap
“Miss Lynd, I am deeply sorry for what I did to you! Please, you have to forgive me!”“I know you won’t forgive me that easily! What do you want me to do? I’ll do anything to get you to forgive me!”Tina didn’t expect Victor to grovel like a dog in front of her.Her shock aside, even the customers in the cafe were startled by his sudden actions. They all looked over curiously to see what was going on.Tina didn’t want to be the center of attention. She quickly said, “You don’t have to do anything! Just stop making my life difficult!”Noticing that Victor was about to knock his head on the ground, Tina stood up and left the cafe in a hurry.She was very confused. “Why would he beg for forgiveness all of a sudden? That’s so weird…”While muttering under her breath, she turned a corner and accidentally knocked into a sturdy chest.She jumped in surprise, “I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to…”Tina looked up anxiously, and noticed that she had bumped into Samuel of all people.Being just
Madam Langford was rushed into the emergency room as soon as possible.Samuel and his family also appeared in the hallway right at that moment.“What’s going on? Didn’t you say Madam Langford’s condition has stabilized? How did this happen?”Mrs. Langford shouted at the doctors, enraged.The doctors explained helplessly, “Mrs. Langford… According to Madam Langford’s recent condition, her health has indeed stabilized. However, we also have to take account of Madam Langford’s age. It’s common to have a recurrence at night…”Mrs. Langford, who was still unconvinced, caught Tina sitting on the chair from the corner of her eyes.“You! It’s all because of you and your dirty tricks again that Old Mrs. Langford is sick again! Isn’t that right?!”Without waiting, she gave Tina a slap on the face right after finishing her sentence.Tina’s face was swollen, a bright red palm mark staining her cheek immediately after the slap struck her.She felt weakness taking over her body and tried to
Chapter 826The man's breath was scalding her skin, and his deep, husky voice assailed her eardrums.Like a scared rabbit, Tina abruptly turned around and asked, "What are you doing..."She turned around, only to end up in his arms. The man happened to bend down, but she kissed him by accident. It was not her intention.Tina widened her eyes in astonishment.Samuel hadn't expected her to suddenly turn around. It was such a pleasant surprise.He didn't give the woman a chance to escape. He lifted the blanket to cover Kara and keep her out of the improper scene.In the next instant...He wrapped his arms around Tina's slender waist."Heh, did you do that on purpose, eh?" His voice was thick with playfulness."I didn't." Tina avoided making eye contact with the man.'Come on, it was just an instinctive reaction.'Unexpectedly, things went this way. She found it hard to explain.As expected, Samuel was not convinced. "Stop quibbling."This woman was full of lies.He found
Chapter 825Tina originally felt a little embarrassed. As she listened to Kara's words, Tina's fair face and ears turned red uncontrollably."What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry over here and take a nap?"Tina couldn't help but glare at her daughter.She couldn't understand why her daughter said that. Keith must have taught Kara such things.Tina thought, 'I should talk with Keith.'Although he was a genius hacker, and he knew a lot of things at a young age, he couldn't mislead his sister.Just as Tina was muttering inwardly, Keith, who was talking to Arthur, suddenly sneezed."Wow, boss, I didn't expect you to sneeze like an ordinary person."Arthur said with a voice changer, "Tut, tut. Is someone cursing you?Keith couldn't help but frown."Who dares to curse me?" He narrowed his eyes. Although his face was young, his tone was like that of Samuel. "Is it you?"At these words, Arthur immediately broke a sweat as if a big crime was pinned on him."Boss, I was w
Chapter 824Samuel was walking so fast that Tina had to jog to keep up. She was afraid of being left behind.Finally, Samuel stopped at the door to Kara's room.After he carried Kara inside, Tina came up.The sight of the woman appearing and panting made him frown."What happened to you?""I," Tina stammered, "you walked too fast. I couldn't keep up."She didn't know why she was so weak now.It was not a long way from the courtyard to the room. The trotting had brought profuse sweat to her forehead. Her face was a bit pale, and she was teetering.Samuel saw it, tensed up, and grabbed her despite his anger at her.Like iron, his robust arm wrapped around the waist of the tottering woman.His brows locked in a frown, he said coldly, "Did you cast the doctor's caution to the wind? You're aware of your condition and know that you need to recuperate, yet you ran so fast. You'd get yourself killed."In a deep voice, he reproached Tina for not caring about herself.To Tina's ears
Chapter 823"What?" Immediately, the maid got the attention of the other maids around. The maid glanced at Tina who was chasing after Samuel and gleefully told the others what had happened earlier. "Mr. Langford warned that woman that she was only a maid. "He also told the little princess that the woman was not her mummy. Only his wife could be the little princess's mommy!" The other maids were stunned. "Really, Mr. Langford really said that?" "If Mr. Langford treats her as a maid, how can she come to the party this afternoon and wear such a fancy dress..." "It must be due to the little princess!" "Mr. Langford gave her some decency for the sake of the kids, but that woman went too far. I heard she claimed at the party that she was Mr. Langford's woman. She went out of the boundary." "Mr. Langford must have been angry with this woman. He went to take the little princess away himself and warned..." The maids gossiped and chattered. They used to be careful
Chapter 822Samuel's tone was icy.Kara pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "But Mommy is not a maid. Even if Mommy were a maid, she would always be Kara's mommy."Kara's words gave Samuel a headache.Samuel thought, 'Ah! Like mother, like daughter!'Tina always makes me nervous, and so does Kara. Kara is on her mother's side and doesn't take me seriously.'They may be secretly calling me a bastard.'Samuel stopped in his tracks and asked coldly, "You are very unwilling to let your mommy leave, right?""Yes!" Kara nodded her head repeatedly."Then tell me. Do you want me, or do you want your mommy?"At Samuel's words, everyone around was stunned.Tina was a little confused and wondered if she had misheard. How could Samuel possibly say this?Why...Tina was amused, feeling Samuel's annoyance. The originally cold and ruthless man looked a little childish.The drivers also lowered their heads, trying to pretend they had not heard anything.Samuel, however, did not bother
Chapter 821Once the words were out of Samuel's mouth, Tina's heart was in her throat again.She looked at his dark eyes that were gleaming with playful light and immediately had a bad feeling. Despite that, she asked, "What... is it?""Moving into my room!" Samuel replied.His authoritative tone brooked no argument.In fact, this couldn't be called a request.If he wanted, this woman should have appeared in his room last night. He wouldn't have let her go to the room next to the children's.Samuel was just upset that this woman had failed to appreciate his kindness. Through this, he hoped that she would cooperate.However...Tina subconsciously blurted out, "No!"…The air in the car was frozen in an instant."Say it again?" Samuel forced the words out of his gritted teeth.His scowl frightened Tina so much that a cold sweat broke out on her back.She was too careless to blurt out her thoughts.She had to explain, "It's... not like that. I mean, the children need care
Chapter 820"Haha, Daddy is really nice. Daddy was worried about me and Mommy?!" Kara immediately said. Samuel, who didn't want to admit he was terribly worried, snorted. "Yes, I really was. I was worried that your mommy would kidnap you!"When she heard Samuel had specially come over to pick up their daughter, Tina had had some inexplicable feelings. But after hearing her explanation, she felt like he had poured a basin of cold water down her head, making all her feelings disappear. Yeah, of course, Samuel was worried! He didn't trust her at all, but treated their daughter so nicely as if she was a little princess. Of course, he was afraid that she would kidnap his precious daughter!Feeling so uncomfortable, she could not help but say, "I wasn't thinking about kidnapping the child…""Really?" Samuel asked with a very suspicious eye, "Do you think I'll believe what you say?!"Honestly, this little woman just turned around and ran away without any hesitation. But she d
Chapter 819When the car came into Tina's sight without any presage, her face turned pale.She was afraid that someone would get out of the car to harm her, so having no hesitation, she turned and ran with Kara in her arms.Immediately afterwards, a man's shout came from behind..."Tina! Where are you going?"His voice was pleasant to the ear, though it was tinged with annoyance.Tina's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and a sense of security came over her.‘It's Samuel!’She stopped running. Before she could turn around, Samuel had caught her wrist.It seemed that he was worried that Tina would run away with their daughter.Samuel exerted so much strength that Tina gave a gasp in pain."It hurts!" She subconsciously cried out and struggled. "Release me..."However, upon hearing her words, Samuel got angry.He was going to be infuriated by Tina!He went to the hospital in the morning. During the examination and treatment, he missed Tina and their children a lot.However, w
Chapter 818Mireya was pissed off. She grabbed Madam Langford's arm and angrily complained, "Godmother, look! How dare she publicly say that? She is so ambitious! "We must not let her marry Samuel!" Madam Langford patted Mireya's hand and said, "Don't worry! Samuel will only marry you! Such a slut cannot marry into our family!" "What about our previous plans..." Mireya asked. After thinking for a while, Madam Langford replied, "We'll leave this woman alone for a few days... Then we will..."People saw Mireya and Madam Langford whispering to each other, and they thought that Madam Langford was very fond of Mireya. "Mireya will definitely marry Mr. Langford. Look how close she is to Madam Langford!" "Yes! As for that woman..." Speaking of which, they turned their eyes to Tina. Even though Tina was never conspicuous, and neither did she care about others’ opinion, those people were always picking faults with Tina and slandered her. "Although Mr. Langford loves
