Margaret would never let her daughter go through that kind of anguish. No one should have to go through such a terrible ordeal.Since Colin couldn't do anything to Jessamine, it was up to her to help Amy eliminate her obstacles. "I have something to do, so I'll be heading home. You should keep Amy company." Margaret composed herself and seemed to have made a big decision.Colin cocked his head. "We're already here. Aren't you going to see her?"Margaret explained, "I think I've forgotten to turn off the stove while making some broth, and the maid has taken a break. If I don't get home, the house will be on fire.""Hurry up and get home then!" Colin urged.Margaret hurriedly left the hospital. As Colin watched her leave in panic, he cursed, "What a useless bitch! You can't even remember to turn off the stove."…Jessamine returned to Thomas' ward, drenched in rain. Thomas felt distress upon seeing her. "Why didn't you bring an umbrella with you, you fool? Go and get changed. Don'
Thaddeus opened a gap in the door and leaned in. Then, he quickly closed the door again.Jessamine looked at the intruder warily. "W-What are you doing?"She didn't cover herself, but instead, she instinctively covered her belly.Thaddeus swallowed at the sight of the naked Jessamine. "Did you fall?"Jessamine looked at him warily as she slowly moved away from the wall and stood up straight. Her bath towel was just a step away, hanging on a clothes rack. She wanted to grab the towel and cover herself.Although both of them were familiar with each other's bodies, she felt embarrassed being the only one exposed. She stepped forward, but she was caught off guard and slipped again. This time, she fell into Thaddeus' arms. Fortunately, he was nimble enough and held her steady.Jessamine cleared her throat awkwardly and was about to struggle to get out of his arms.Thaddeus held her waist with his hand and remained silent. He simply stared at her.Jessamine didn't know if it was beca
Thaddeus silently wondered if he would regret his decision. If he continued to persist in this marriage, Amy would kill herself along with her baby. If that happened, he would feel even more regret than he currently did. Soon, he felt his hesitation disappearing. Divorcing Jessamine might be the only way to get out of this impasse, even if he had to hurt her to do so. Therefore, he complied with any of her requests. Since she wanted his shares, he would give them to her.After Thomas lectured Thaddeus, he looked at Jessamine, his expression turning gentle. "Jessie, I've found a few young men who would be perfect for you. You can get to know them when you have the time. Don't worry. No one will look down on you with me around."After saying that, he waved to Joe, who was standing beside him. "Give me my phone."Jessamine didn't expect Thomas to be serious and find some men of suitable ages. He even asked his assistant to make a list of their families, occupations, hobbies, height,
Jessamine panicked for a moment. "I'll go there myself. Since you're busy, you don't have to worry about me," she said"I'm not," Thaddeus insisted.Thomas couldn't help but snap at how Thaddeus and Jessamine were trying to be cordial. "Why shouldn't he be there? Screw that! Let him line up for a number to the clinic! His legs aren't just for show!"Jessamine silently left the ward with Thaddeus in tow. He looked languid as if he was happy to be ordered around by her.Jessamine looked back at the door of the ward. She dared not order an intimidating man like Thaddeus around. Fearing that Thomas would overhear them, she whispered, "I'm fine on my own. You really don't have to tag along. Just go and do your thing."After saying that, she sneezed.Thaddeus scoffed. "Cut the crap. We're running out of time to head to the clinic. If I don't tag along, Grandpa will blow a gasket when he finds out."He walked toward the elevator, and this time, Jessamine walked behind him."I didn't c
Jessamine was half asleep the entire time. She knew that she was being held in his arms and that she shouldn't let him do this, but she didn't have the strength to bother. It felt really comfortable to be in his arms.People were the most emotional when they were sick. She nestled into his chest, her eyes turning watery. At this moment, she craved his gentleness, but at the same time, she cursed her vulnerability. She could never feel peace when it came to him. He just had what it took to make her confused.Soon, they arrived at Jardin Estate. Thaddeus carried her out of the car while Jordan hurriedly rushed forward to open the door.Lana had just returned home after giving Amy food. She quickly ran over when she saw Thaddeus. "What happened to Mrs. Holt?"As Thaddeus carried Jessamine upstairs, he told Lana, "Bring her a cup of warm water and some soup. She has a fever."He carried her back to their master bedroom. After putting her down on the bed, he loosened his tie.It was n
Jessamine leaned weakly against the bed. She couldn't hear what Dr. Fisher said on the phone, but she was feeling diffident. She was curious about how Thaddeus would react upon discovering her pregnancy, but at the same time, she was afraid of him finding out.In just two minutes, countless scenarios had played out in her mind.Thaddeus looked through the piles of medicine as he talked on the phone. After hanging up the phone, he picked out a few of them and said, "Dr. Fisher can't come over because he's out buying some herbs. Just hang on for a little bit and take these two boxes. If they don't work, we'll see another doctor."Jessamine sighed in relief. Fortunately, Dr. Fisher wasn't available. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to deal with what happened next.The two boxes of medicine that Thaddeus picked out were the ones Jessamine wanted to take just now, which were the ones the doctor had prescribed for pregnant women.Thaddeus took out a few pills and placed them in her palm
Jessamine opened her eyes, only to see her familiar surroundings and Lana's smiling face. "What time is it?" she asked."It's 1:00 pm right now. You've slept for more than three hours." Lana passed her a glass of warm water.Jessamine's mind was racing to piece together what happened. She remembered that Thaddeus had carried her home. She looked around the room, but she felt a lot more relaxed when she didn't see him.Lana said with a smile, "Mr. Holt has gone to work. He told me to wipe your body with a wet towel to cool you down. You should take your temperature first. If you don't have a fever, I don't have to wipe your body anymore."Jessamine felt a lot better now. Based on her judgment, her fever must have subsided. What made her uncomfortable was that she was sweating, and her clothes were sticking to her body.She lifted the blanket, only to see herself wearing a nightgown. Her face gradually turned red. She remembered that she hadn't changed before falling asleep.Howeve
"Is there anything else?" Xander asked.The assistant cleared his throat as if mentally preparing himself for what he was about to say. After all, this was a heavy topic. "Mr. Patton, we found something."Xander nodded. "Go ahead.""Your aunt Elizabeth had previously signed an organ donation agreement. Her heart was given to the daughter of Colin Quilton and his mistress. So, there's something fishy about your aunt's death. It wasn't just a car accident that caused it," the assistant explained.At this point, his assistant's voice became lower and lower. He knew Xander's anger had reached its breaking point, and he was afraid Xander would do something drastic when upset.Xander paused. After a few moments, he stubbed his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray with all his strength. "Who does the daughter think he is? She doesn't deserve it!"The assistant trembled in fear. "We haven't found any concrete evidence, but there are two possibilities. Either the murderer had covered t
