At this time, Lambert's condition wasn't too good. Just now, he was only focused on protecting Lydia and didn't have time to take off his clothes stained with concentrated sulfuric acid. As a result, the sulfuric acid seeped in through the clothes. Now his back was burning intensely and he didn't even have the strength to speak. His forehead was covered in cold sweat!"Are you okay?" Lydia asked nervously, her eyes full of worry."I'm fine! First, go and see who that person is?"At this time, Lambert was already in so much pain that he was dizzy and his vision was starting to blur.Lydia's eyes were also red. She supported his arm with one hand. "Don't hold on anymore. Other things can be dealt with later. Going to the hospital is the top priority."Lambert was still hesitating. On one side, Wythe also quickly took Lambert's hand. "Dad, go to the hospital. Seeing you like this makes me very uncomfortable."Seeing the worry in his son's eyes, Lambert finally gave in.A short while late
Wythe quietly walked out and took Lydia's cell phone with him. He left Lydia and Lambert bickering in the ward. He hadn't seen such a lively mom for a long time. Sure enough, Mom actually still likes Dad in her heart, right? So, for now, he could only feel sorry for Uncle Fraine.Wythe sighed guiltily. As soon as he went out, the cell phone rang again.Looking at the name on the cell phone, Wythe couldn't help but sigh again. "Really, you adults are so troublesome. We kids have to worry about everything!"He sighed like a little adult. After hesitating for a moment, he had to answer the phone and spoke weakly."Hello! Uncle Fraine?""Wythe? Where's your mom? Where are you now? Why did it seem like you were in a hospital before? Which hospital are you in?" Andrew's voice was very anxious.Wythe thought for a while. "Uncle Fraine, don't worry. When school was over today, we met a bad person. Dad was injured to protect us, so we came to the hospital."Andrew immediately exploded. "Lamber
"Andrew?" Lydia was extremely surprised. Why would Andrew come here with Lambert's bodyguard?"Boss, when I came up just now, I happened to meet Andrew looking for your room. So I brought him here." Bob seemed to see the confusion in Lydia's eyes. While reporting to Lambert, he also answered Lydia's confusion.Andrew had a gentle smile on his face, but there was a hint of worry in his eyes. As soon as he entered the door, he directly came forward and looked Lydia up and down. Only then did he finally feel a little relieved."Lydia, you really scared me. You don't know how scared I was when I heard you say you were in danger. It seems that you'd better not go out alone in the future.""It's not that exaggerated. Andrew, you are too nervous." Lydia was both touched and embarrassed, and there was also a hint of discomfort."Lydia, it's not that I'm making a fuss. It's just that your situation is special now and you can't afford any accidents." Andrew's smile burned Lambert's eyes. Anyone
Bob nodded. "Yes. And judging from your father's intention, it's obvious that he wants to recognize that mother and child."Lambert pondered for a moment and muttered to himself, "It seems that father is planning to leave himself a way out."He sneered. Saying that his love is as deep as the sea is just so much."Boss, now that woman is not so important yet. Do you think we should...?"Bob made a gesture. Lambert didn't agree. "No need. For now, don't do anything. Just wait and see.""Yes!"Lambert waved his hand, indicating Bob to leave first. Bob nodded. In his heart, he admired Boss's calmness even more. He could remain unruffled in the face of such things. Truly worthy of being the boss.But Odgen is really full of vitality in his old age. Just one night and he managed to create an illegitimate child! Perhaps soon it can't be called an illegitimate child anymore. After all, Odgen means to let that pregnant woman live in the Halsey family to wait for childbirth.Recently, Heloise h
Hearing this, Odgen frowned. "Isn't it? If it's not for the company, then why on earth did you come back? I know you may have heard some rumors. But you should believe that for so many years, I have always been training you as the heir."Although he wants to warn his son, the child in the womb still doesn't know if it's a boy or a girl. Even if it's a boy, it's hard to say whether he will be capable in the future.Besides, it will take at least twenty years to stand on an equal footing.In these twenty years, he has to rely on this son in front of him."Father, you don't need to be so excited. I don't mean anything else. I'm just purely curious. What kind of woman made you pave the way for her in such a short time? If I remember correctly, it hasn't even been three months since my mother passed away."Lambert's tone was somewhat cold. He didn't oppose his father finding another woman. It's just that he couldn't accept another woman replacing his mother and entering the family so soon.
Ben knelt in front of Lambert and Odgen, his head hanging low, looking wretched and decadent yet extremely pious.Odgen sighed. "Ben, get up first."After all, they were friends for many years. He couldn't bear it.Ben pleaded humbly. "Boss, don't persuade me. I'm not a human being! I was blinded by greed and did so many things that were sorry to the company and you. But now I really know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. Whether it's being an ordinary worker or a cleaner, as long as you don't drive me out of the company!"Odgen looked at Lambert with embarrassment. Since he couldn't pull this person up all the time, he simply stopped trying."Ben, if you want to kneel, then kneel. But don't kneel at my house. This is not a church. If you want to confess, go to the church!"Lambert's tone was casual. The contempt and humiliation in his words made Ben's face extremely ugly, but he obediently stood up."Boss, how can you forgive me?
However, facing such a result, Ben was not very satisfied. Before he came, he had estimated the amount he might get. No matter what, it should be more than ten million. As a result, it was directly discounted by 20%. This was still obtained by him begging shamelessly.But now that things had come to this point, Ben also understood in his heart that Odgen probably wouldn't add more money to him. He gritted his teeth but showed a grateful smile on his face. "Odgen, you are really a good person!""We are all brothers. Why say such things? It's rare for you to come today. Let's have a drink together." Odgen felt very comfortable in his heart. He felt that he had done a great good deed and was very proud.Ben naturally would not refuse such an opportunity. But he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He endured the discomfort and said all kinds of nice things, making Odgen beam with joy.After leaving the Halsey family's house, Ben spat at the vermilion g
Thinking of this, Sibyl spoke decisively, "You just said that you would get me out as soon as possible. How soon can it be at the fastest?""In half a month?"Before Ben finished speaking, he saw Sibyl looking at him with a fierce expression and cold eyes. His heart skipped a beat and immediately changed his words. "Within a week. I will definitely get you out of here within a week.""Okay! I'll be waiting for you. Remember, when I get out, I want to see my mom! At home, not in a sanatorium!" Sibyl was extremely arrogant as if she had the upper hand.Since he was here to ask for help, then show some sincerity.Ben nodded repeatedly. Even if Sibyl didn't say it, he also planned to pick Janet up from the sanatorium. After all, only when Janet was in his hands would Sibyl be obedient. Ben was very clear about this.After leaving the prison, Ben quickly found a lawyer. They began to study Sibyl's case. Fortunately, the result was good. Since the
Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden
Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart
Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov
Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her
As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
Upon seeing the information, Lambert felt as though he'd been tirelessly searching, only to stumble upon the answer effortlessly.Watching him hold the household registry, his hands trembling, the elderly woman knew that this young man truly loved his wife. She couldn't help but sigh. Why couldn't people just talk things out calmly instead of storming off? When this Lambert finally found his wife, she made a mental note to have a good talk with her. After all, finding someone who genuinely loves you these days isn't easy, especially someone as handsome and devoted as him.As she shared more advice, Lambert listened attentively. A couple of hours later, there he was, standing outside apartment 803 of Building 6, disguised in a delivery uniform, complete with a sunhat and a package in hand.*Ding dong, ding dong...*Lambert stood at the door, feeling anxious. He feared the person inside wouldn't be Lydia, but also worried they wouldn't answer at all.
The intense longing Lambert felt was like ants gnawing at his heart—an unbearable pain that consumed him. Yet, this separation made him realize even more clearly how deeply Lydia had become a part of his life. Without her, he felt utterly lost, as though she had completely permeated his existence without him even noticing.After a brief rest, Lambert began his search for information. He quietly arrived at the neighborhood where one of the pregnant women named Lydia was living and started asking around about her."You seem unfamiliar. You're not from around here, are you?" An elderly woman approached him, curiosity in her eyes.Lambert's heart leaped at the question. He had been wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone had given him the perfect opportunity. "You've got a sharp eye, ma'am. I'm new here.""I thought so! We don't usually see such a handsome young man in our neighborhood," the woman commented."Are you here for work, or are you planning to settle down? You
