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
Margaret remained calm. "He can't do anything! He's just a browbeater who intimidates others into doing his bidding."Her words made Colin snap. "What the hell do you know? You're just an ignorant wench who can only sulk and throw tantrums! You, of all people, have no right to judge me."However, Margaret simply smiled and remained silent. She had already seen this bastard's true colors. If she upset him, he would divorce her and marry a younger woman at any time. If that happened, all of Margaret's efforts would be in vain. She would leave her legacy as the biggest laughingstock of the century. For women her age, it didn't matter if their man returned to their side. Their children and reputation were more important. Otherwise, they wouldn't have any purpose to live.As long as she was still Colin's wife, she would be respected everywhere she went. No matter how many secretaries Colin had, they still had to nod and greet her with respect.Therefore, Margaret could only smile at
Amy really couldn't come up with a better idea. However, things were different now. She was now carrying the great-grandchild of the Holt family. No matter what, Thomas wouldn't treat her harshly and would have to show deference to her."Let's give it a try, Dad."And just like that, they had made a decision.Colin brought Amy and Margaret to Thomas' ward. He had gotten word that Thomas was staying in the VIP ward on the top floor.Soon, they arrived at the top floor. Amy let out a nervous breath. She was still a little anxious. However, she felt a lot more confident since she had Colin and Margaret's support this time. There was also her baby as a trump card.Thomas had just finished his call with Jessamine. After hearing that her fever was gone, he relaxed. Suddenly, a knock came from the door. Joe went to open it, only to see the Quiltons standing there with slightly nervous expressions. He knew about Thaddeus entangling himself with Amy. Therefore, it was inappropriate
"Mr. Thomas! Mr. Thomas, please don't scare me!" Joe shouted.One of the caretakers ran to get the doctor while the other hurriedly brought a washbowl, fearing that Thomas would vomit blood again. Soon, chaos ensued in the ward.Joe was so frightened that his hands were trembling. Thomas couldn't take any more surprises in his condition.A few minutes later, Dallas hurried in with several doctors to check on Thomas. If something happened to Thomas under their care, their hospital would be in danger of closing down.Colin and his family stood in shock. They didn't expect things to turn out this way.Amy thought Thomas would just scold her since he didn't like her. Instead, he vomited blood without even saying anything. If Thaddeus knew about this…She was too afraid to even think about it.Colin was a prudent man. He realized something was wrong and hurriedly led Amy and Margaret out of the ward. "Hurry, let's go!"Since he had angered Thomas, he feared that Thaddeus would bankr
Meanwhile, Amy brought Colin and Margaret to her home in Jardin Estate, which Thaddeus had bought for her. She realized the gravity of the situation, and now, she could only hope that Thomas was fine. Otherwise, Thaddeus wouldn't show her mercy, even if she had his child. She felt she was getting further away from her goal of becoming Thaddeus' wife."Dad, look at what you've done. What do we do now? If anything happens to Mr. Thomas, we won't be able to stay in Zenville any longer." Amy was about to cry in panic.Of course, Colin was frantic as well. He simply pretended to be calm around Amy and Margaret. "Calm down," he said. "I've checked with the people at the hospital, and they said Mr. Thomas is fine. He's just unconscious and will be fine when he wakes up.""Dad, do you seriously think we'll be in the clear if Mr. Thomas is fine?" Amy scoffed. "Who do you take Thaddeus for?"Upon hearing her words, Colin couldn't maintain his composure any longer. "Stay put, Amy. I'll go
When Thomas insisted on something, no one could change his mind.Joe brought a paper and a pen. "Mr. Thomas, everything is ready."Thomas leaned on the pillow. Looking around the ward, he said slowly, "I'll give 15% of my shares to both Corey and Noah. Both of you have the same amount. I trust that's fair?"Corey stepped forward and held Thomas' hand. "Dad, we're family. We don't care about that."Thomas continued, "Heather has been with our family for many years and has kept everything in order. She's a good person. I'll hand over all the properties under my name to you and Sasha."Heather wiped her tears and said, "Dad, you're still strong and healthy. You should take care of those properties yourself."Everyone was about to cry except for Sasha, who was overjoyed. Thomas had properties all over the country. With the money she earned from selling either one of those properties, she could live comfortably for half a year. She used to complain that Thomas favored Jessamine more
Right now, everyone in the room wasn't calm in the slightest. Corey was fuming, but he dared not voice his dissatisfaction. Although Jessamine was a well-behaved daughter-in-law, he neither liked nor disliked her. At the end of the day, she was still an outsider. Moreover, he heard that Thaddeus and Jessamine were getting a divorce. However, Thomas still gave almost half of his possessions to her.Corey didn't find Thomas' decision to give his assets to any of his family members unfair. However, he felt uncomfortable that Thomas would give his assets to an outsider who had only been part of the Holt family for three years.At this time, Heather and Sasha were even more uncomfortable.Heather had been married to Corey for decades, had children, respected Thomas, and even took care of her husband. She had kept the family in order, but all she got in return was some of Thomas' properties. Those properties were just a drop in a bucket compared to what Jessamine would get. She wa
