The caregiver approached, "Miss Ackley, it's time for your medication."

With practiced ease, she poured water for Penny and helped her sit up carefully. It was evident that she was an exceptionally professional and skilled caregiver.

As Penny took her medicine, she noticed Lydia's gaze on the caregiver and couldn't help but smile lightly. "This caregiver is quite good, isn't she? Lambert specifically arranged for her to take care of me. He said he's too busy with work to be with me all the time, and he didn't feel comfortable leaving me alone here!"

Lydia was taken aback. Hearing Penny mention Lambert so casually made her inexplicably bitter!

The caregiver, upon hearing Penny's words, chimed in, "Yes, I've been a caregiver for a long time, and this is the first time I've seen such a caring boyfriend. Miss Ackley is really fortunate! Mr. Halsey's care for her makes even us feel inadequate. Surely, for Miss Ackley, he must have self-taught a lot of nursing knowledge."

    Lambert's heart tightened at being addressed as Mr. Halsey. The distance in Lydia's voice made him focus on her, his gaze lingering without turning away.Yet, his rationality reminded him to endure. Now was not the time.Penny evidently noticed Lydia's slightly reddened eyes, which only fueled her satisfaction. Despite this, she feigned concern. "Lydia, what's wrong with your eyes?""Oh, it's nothing. A little bug got in earlier. I rinsed it out with water," Lydia lied expressionlessly.Penny, seemingly eager to flaunt her diamond necklace, picked it up. "Look, Lambert gave me this as a birthday gift. Isn't it beautiful?"Lydia's gaze swept over the necklace with little emotion. "Yes, it's indeed beautiful. Miss Ackley, take care of yourself. If you need anything, feel free to contact me. I'll take my leave now."Lydia just wanted to escape as soon as possible. She felt like she would go mad if she stayed any longer!But Penny thwarted her plans. "It's a shame you're leaving so soon.

    Just a few days left, and he had already arranged for someone to handle this matter privately.As long as he could completely refute the accusations against Lydia by the Ackley family, he could finally rid himself of this bunch.Lambert was also well aware that his actions today had hurt Lydia. When he saw her eyes turn red, his heart felt like it was being tormented as if dipped in oil.He wished he could just go up to her and hold her in his arms, but he couldn't.Sitting in his black Maybach, furrowing his brow, Lambert began dialing the thirtieth phone call of the day eagerly longing to hear Lydia's voice.Even if it was reproachful, perplexed, angry, or displeased, anything was better than this silence.The night breeze was cool, but Lambert's forehead was already sweating from anxiety. The face that usually showed no expression was now filled with worry.After hearing the beep of the phone once again, Lambert reluctantly hung up. He closed his eyes slightly, his emotions gradual

    "Lydia, can you give me a little more time? Just a few days! In a few days at most, I'll have this matter completely sorted out...""That's enough, Lambert!"Lydia interrupted Lambert impatiently. In her eyes, besides determination and pain, there was no longer the trust and tenderness usually found.Lambert felt a sudden pang in his heart, as if it had been squeezed tightly, suffocating him.Lydia was truly exhausted. She felt like she couldn't fit into Lambert's life no matter what she did.Sometimes, she couldn't even understand his thoughts, especially after seeing how affectionate Lambert was towards Penny. It was as if she was witnessing her first failed marriage all over again.To Lydia, relationships couldn't tolerate any flaws, and men seemed to enjoy having their cake and eating it too.She had always been uncertain about her feelings for Lambert, and with the lack of approval from his family, Lydia felt isolated.Lambert's love had always been Lydia's greatest courage, allo

    Wythe nodded, feeling strangely curious. "Uncle Fraine, where's my mom?"Andrew placed the prepared dinner on the table. "Your mom is sick. Her fever just subsided, so she might need some more rest."Wythe learned for the first time that his mom was actually sick.As they spoke, the door opened, and Lydia stumbled out, still half-asleep, with disheveled hair."Mom, are you feeling better?""Lydia, are you feeling any better?"Wythe and Andrew spoke simultaneously, both looking at Lydia with concern."I'm fine, just feeling a bit hungry."Andrew reached out to feel her forehead. "Looks like the fever's gone. As long as you're hungry, that's good. Dinner's ready; try my cooking."Lydia felt a bit embarrassed. "Thank you for today, Andrew.""Why be so polite with me? We've known each other for more than just a day or two."Lydia smiled. Indeed, Andrew had always been considerate of her at school."Alright, let's sit down and eat!"Lydia nodded, and Andrew promptly prepared utensils for h

    Lydia earnestly replied, "Yes, I think maybe we can give it a try!"Andrew was overjoyed. He took a step forward, embracing Lydia as if he had finally obtained a long-awaited treasure.Lydia's body stiffened, but she didn't push him away.Andrew felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest. He carefully held Lydia's hand, his eyes filled with affection. He almost stuttered as he spoke, "Lydia, I will take good care of you!"Lydia sighed inwardly, suppressing whatever emotions she felt and trying hard to adapt to Andrew's affection.Fortunately, Andrew understood that this matter couldn't be rushed. Lydia was giving him a chance, and he was already very happy about that. As for the rest, he wasn't in a hurry.The years of their relationship weren't fake. Since he could wait for so many years, why worry about a day or two?Andrew was a gentle and considerate lover, and Lydia deeply felt that. He always politely asked for her opinion, seeking her thoughts, unlike Lambert's sel

    “Don't be foolish! Penny has nothing to regret! Since even Nydia has admitted Penny, even if Lambert doesn't love Penny, so what? As long as she becomes his wife, nothing else matters!”"Sigh, I'm just worried. What if Lambert no longer feels threatened by us? I heard that he and that Lydia had a fight and broke up, so we might not be able to control him in the future."Wythe was astonished to hear this!So that's it! He knew his dad suddenly treating Penny so well must have something to do with Mom!In that moment, Wythe was excited. He couldn't wait to tell Lydia immediately, to make it clear to her that Dad hadn't betrayed her but was protecting her in his own way!Deciding to inform Lydia as soon as possible, Wythe didn't go directly to Lambert but turned and left the hospital, heading to Lydia's workplace.Wythe's sudden arrival puzzled Lydia. Especially seeing him gasping for breath, Lydia couldn't help but pick him up. "What's wrong, honey? What's the rush?""Mom, I already kno

    Shortly after, Lambert strode away while Andrew stood there, unable to regain his senses for a long while.When he prepared to chase after Lambert, he found that Lambert's figure was nowhere to be seen."Lambert! Let go of me!" Lydia struggled and wriggled incessantly on Lambert's shoulder, intense shame turning her face as red as a beet."Behave yourself!" Lambert's voice was low as his large palm patted Lydia's buttocks twice.Lydia widened her eyes in astonishment, feeling everything going wrong. He was punishing her like a child? Lydia's body froze, allowing Lambert to carry her to the parking lot.It wasn't until they were seated in the car that Lydia finally regained her senses, her eyes blazing with anger. She reached out and slapped Lambert's face.Lambert caught her wrist with one hand, his deep eyes now filled with fury. With his other hand, he swiftly fastened the seatbelt, restraining her in her seat."What do you want?" Lydia glared at Lambert. "We've broken up! Andrew is

    Warm fingers intertwined with Lydia's hand, accompanied by a familiar scent. "Lydia..."Tears fell more fiercely from Lydia's eyes at that moment. She lay there, not wanting to move at all.Lambert sighed softly, reaching out to stroke her long hair. His voice was low as he spoke, "I'm sorry. I didn't realize this would matter to you so much. But believe me, there's an explanation for all of this."Lydia gradually stopped her tears, her emotions calming. She gathered both her distress and vulnerability, leaving only reason and composure."Fine! Speak," she said."Lydia, I never loved Penny. My actions towards her were merely a necessity dictated by circumstances. They caught you in a compromising position. If you were to be prosecuted, you'd face at least three years in prison."Lambert lowered his eyes with a hint of helplessness and regret. He loathed his own powerlessness. "Lydia, I don't want to see you in prison...""So you sacrificed your dignity to deceive Penny, is that what y

    "Lambert, at this rate, you could almost switch careers to become a nanny!" Horace teased, noticing how expertly Lambert cradled the baby.Unfazed by his friend's jest, Lambert beamed with happiness. "You wouldn't understand if you don't have kids. Once you get married, you'll know. This is my legacy, and I didn't get to care for Wythe when he was a baby, so I'm determined to be hands-on with Candice."No one could truly grasp this sense of compensation!Horace rolled his eyes, clearly at a loss for words. It was pointless to engage with someone so enamored with fatherhood.While the men gathered to chat, Thera leaned closer to Lydia and whispered, "So, Lydia, are you really back together with Lambert?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah. After everything that happened, I realized I need to cherish every single day. And Lambert is sincere—I can feel it.""That's great!" Thera sighed in relief, finally putting her worries to rest."What about you, Thera? I see you and Andrew getting along quite well!

    At this moment, Lambert felt completely at ease. It seemed that Lydia's earlier words were not just talk; she was genuinely ready to give them a chance!A smile crept onto Lambert's lips, but there was no time to think of anything else; he needed to take care of their baby, Wythe. Thanks to the maternal training classes he had attended with Lydia, he had learned a lot about caring for newborns. Gently, he picked up his daughter and quickly checked her diaper, only to find that she had wet it.With nimble hands, he changed her diaper, and the little one fell back asleep. Looking at her innocent face, Lambert's heart melted. This was his child, the result of his and Lydia's love.The baby slept soundly, and Wythe had been temporarily taken away by Bob, who had come to deliver some items. Now, only Lambert and Lydia remained in the room, but Lydia, having slept quite a bit earlier, was no longer drowsy."Are you still feeling unwell?" Seeing Lydia frown slightly, Lambert asked with conce

    Lambert glanced at his son's disapproving expression and was momentarily at a loss. "Wythe, you might've looked even more wrinkled than her when you were born, yet look at you now—a handsome young man," he teased, smiling at his daughter. Though wrinkly, he found her to be the most beautiful and precious little girl.Wythe huffed proudly, his lips in a slight pout. "I wasn't this ugly! Besides, you didn't see me when I was a baby." A hint of sadness crossed his face; he hadn't been as lucky as his sister—he hadn't had his dad by his side when he was born.Hearing the touch of bitterness in his son's voice, Lambert immediately understood. Wythe was jealous, understandably so. For all his maturity, Wythe was still just a child. For his first five or six years, he had only his mother and no father. He often envied kids with both parents, and when Lydia finally returned home, her on-again, off-again relationship with Lambert had left Wythe hurt and forced him to grow up faster than other

    Lambert paced restlessly in the hallway, nearly losing his mind. Every moment was agonizing, with Lydia's screams from the delivery room piercing his heart. He prided himself on being strong, yet in that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to flee, especially as her cries of pain echoed through. Angry at himself, he slapped his own face—Lydia was suffering because of him, and he'd never realized how terrifying childbirth could be."Calm down. This is what childbirth is like," a woman nearby said kindly. She was the mother of a little girl, and both she and her husband couldn't help but notice how visibly nervous Lambert was. "You've been through this once before, so you should be able to handle it," she added."Why isn't it over yet? Is she in danger?" Lambert's mind was in turmoil, fighting the urge to rush inside and see Lydia himself.The little girl's father stepped in, attempting to reassure him. "You and your family will be just fine," he said. The man recalled his own frantic

    At that moment, Lydia was on the verge of total collapse, as if her entire world had crumbled in an instant, and sorrow overwhelmed her.What had she done? What had she been doing these past days?She had been recklessly indulging in Lambert's affection, without any sense of gratitude or restraint. Now, she regretted her actions deeply. If only she had known this day would come, she would never have argued with Lambert or dismissed his love and efforts out of a misguided sense of pride.All she wanted was for him to be safe, to live happily with her and their children, never to be apart.Lydia's vision blurred as she stood in shock, unable to step closer to the crowd to confirm what had happened. But through a gap, she caught sight of a blood-red stain spreading across the ground. The sight was so jarring that it felt as though her heart had been ripped out of her chest."Mom, are you okay?"Wythe ran over, panting, to see Lydia sitting dazed on the ground, staring at the red stain in

    Lambert's words made Wythe roll his eyes, secretly exasperated. What was going on with his dad? Wasn't everything decided? Why was he suddenly backing out at the last moment?Men! Their thoughts are just impossible to figure out!Lambert had indeed changed his mind unexpectedly. He didn't want to deceive Lydia, even if it was just a harmless joke. Something about it felt wrong. Even if it was to bring them closer, lying to her didn't seem right.Wythe's plan had been simple he wanted Lambert to stage an accident, making it seem like he'd been hit by a car. He was certain his mom would show her true feelings; if she still cared for him, there was no way she'd just stand by. It was a good plan, but now that the moment had come, Lambert didn't want to test Lydia this way.People's feelings shouldn't be tested.Wythe grew increasingly anxious. They'd prepared everything, but now his dad was retreating? That wasn't like him at all! Taking advantage of n

    Half a month had passed since Lydia's last check-up. Lambert continued caring for Lydia with the same attentiveness, unbothered by her cold attitude towards him. Although her indifference saddened him, he was undeterred; his determination grew in the face of difficulty, a testament to his personality.But little Wythe had had enough. He felt it was time to give his parents a nudge towards reconciliation. Yes, it was his turn to step up!So, one morning, when Lambert went out early to buy groceries as usual, Wythe found an excuse to tag along. Lydia didn't think much of it; over time, she had noticed Lambert's earnest efforts and couldn't deny feeling somewhat touched, even if her heart remained conflicted. Deep down, she feared reopening herself to love, only to be hurt again.After all, "Once bitten, twice shy," as they say. Lydia never saw herself as particularly brave—in fact, in love, she was timid and afraid. She longed for a peaceful, uncomplicated l

    Once, Lydia believed she and Lambert would grow old together, inseparable and loyal. But her genuine love had only brought repeated hurt and disappointment. That's why she had fled Nova City, leaving behind everyone she knew, so this time, she refused to open her heart again.Lambert sighed, his tone gentle. He knew Lydia wouldn't easily open up to him again, but he didn't mind; he was willing to wait. Determined, he led her to the prenatal clinic, aware of the many tests ahead—ultrasounds, blood tests, monitoring the baby's heartbeat—a series of over ten examinations. Each department was exceptionally busy, requiring an immense amount of patience.Throughout, Lambert remained unwaveringly attentive, showing no sign of impatience. He stayed by Lydia's side with the eager anticipation of any expectant father, his heart fully in it.Before the ultrasound, Lydia needed to drink water, but Lambert, inexperienced in these matters, hadn't prepared any. She didn't feel inclined to remind him

    Happiness, it seems, makes people wish the same for those around them. Like the husband in the next hospital bed—he had the sense to keep quiet the moment he sensed the tension between Lydia and Lambert.Lambert didn't seem to mind Lydia's sudden outburst. He simply took off his suit jacket, now stained with soup, and said regretfully, "The soup spilled, Lydia. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. I'll have someone bring a new one right away! Why not have a piece of cake to tide you over?"Lambert's calm demeanor only made Lydia feel as if her anger was landing on nothing but soft cotton, frustrating her even more. What was Lambert up to? Was he mocking her on purpose?It was infuriating!Lydia knew her emotions were out of sorts lately. Ever since Lambert left, she hadn't had much of an appetite. When she found out his trip was delayed, everything around her began to irritate her. It was as though a cloud of anger clogged her heart, but she couldn't find a way to let it ou
