Thaddeus drove to the hospital and carried Amy straight to the OB-GYN department to get her treated. Then, some doctors conducted a full body checkup on Amy. Amy had just experienced some shock, so the doctor recommended she stay in the hospital to ensure that her baby was unharmed. She was mostly fine, apart from minor injuries on her knees, rope marks on her arms, and wounds on her face.After making sure Amy didn't have major problems, Thaddeus sighed in relief. He had finally found her. He had spent the entire day riddled with anxiety, but at least things weren't as bad as he thought.Amy was still sleeping. After asking Jordan to keep watch, he went to the inpatient building. He had to ask Jessamine what was going on. When he arrived outside Jessamine's ward, she had already completed the procedures to be discharged and was packing her things.Jessamine saw him come in, but she ignored him and continued to pack her things awkwardly with her bandaged hands. Since she was fin
Thaddeus' words scared Colin into backing down. "Of course, I won't. I'm sure you have a way to deal with that felon."In the ward, Amy was still yelling that someone was clawing her stomach. After a checkup, the doctor explained, "Ms. Quilton must have experienced some kind of shock, causing her uterus to contract from the tension. This isn't good for the baby. We must do something to calm her down."Thaddeus nodded in approval. "Do what you have to, but make sure that nothing happens to her."After an injection, Amy calmed down and fell back asleep on the bed.On the other hand, Margaret had already lost her mind. She was talking nonsense and ignoring anyone who tried to talk to her. Her eyes were unfocused, and her hair was a mess. But at least she had put on a clean hospital gown, so she no longer smelled bad.Thaddeus simply glanced at her in disgust. This ward was a single VIP ward. However, since Colin arrived with Margaret on short notice, the hospital had no vacant
Jessamine returned to her home and changed her clothes before going to the cemetery in the suburbs. Zade had told her that Elizabeth's grave had been repaired, but she wanted to see it with her own eyes to be sure.She took a cab there with a heavy heart, thinking about Margaret and Amy's rabid actions toward Elizabeth. Even if Jessamine had gotten her revenge on her own terms, she still felt she had disappointed her mother.She believed that it was her fault that her mother suffered such humiliation. If it hadn't been for a certain man, she wouldn't have earned the ire of Margaret and Amy.The cab stopped outside the cemetery, and she told the driver to wait for her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to hail a cab when she was ready to leave.Jessamine got out of the car and walked to the entrance. A uniformed man came out of the security room to greet him. She had been coming here for the past two days, so the security already knew her. "I'll go with you, Ms. Patton."Jessamine
Amy was about to cry. "Ted, did someone find out about my pregnancy?"Thaddeus said angrily, "I can't believe you're still feigning ignorance!"Among the wealthy, it was common for someone to use their pregnancy to sway public opinion as a threat. No one other than Amy would do that.Amy cried miserably, "Ted, I really don't know what you're talking about. I don't have my phone with me. Can you show me what happened?"Colin felt distressed upon seeing his daughter in tears and almost cried as well. "Mr. Holt, Amy really doesn't know anything. Your people have been watching her for the past two days, and yesterday's incident happened. "She didn't even have her phone with her, so there's no way she could've done anything. You have to believe her. She can't take any more shock! She's the only daughter I have!"Thaddeus felt uncomfortable upon hearing Colin's words. This old bastard only acknowledged Amy as his daughter, as if Jessamine didn't even exist. Amy wasn't his only daugh
Jessamine returned to her rented home and had a video call with Thomas. After talking for a while, she could tell Thomas was in a good mood.Jessamine said regretfully, "Grandpa, I haven't recovered from my cold yet, so I can't see you for the time being. I may infect you.""You silly goose, I have tons of people with me, so you don't have to worry about me. Just take good care of yourself," Thomas said.Over at the hospital, Thomas looked at the suitcase in the corner and asked, "Your suitcase is still here, though. Do you want someone to bring it to you?"Jessamine hadn't told Thomas that she had moved out. Thomas would find out the truth if someone else brought the suitcase to her. She dared not agitate him right now.The suitcase contained folic acid she took every day, as well as some supplements and vitamins for pregnant women, but Jessamine could just buy more at a pharmacy."Grandpa, the suitcase—" But before Jessamine could finish her words, she saw a handsome face on he
"You bastard!" Thomas yelled. "I can't believe you don't even know your wife is pregnant!"He was feeling both joy and anger. He was happy that he finally had a great-grandchild. He could finally meet him and tell his wife the good news after he passed on.On the other hand, he was furious about the trouble his incompetent grandson had caused. No woman could ever forgive him for that. He had made an unforgivable mistake. Even if Jessamine could still accept a bastard like Thaddeus, Thomas would never be happy about it.Thaddeus licked his dry lips. His throat felt parched, and he didn't know what to do. "I'll ask her doctor, Grandpa."He took back the bottles from Thomas and hurried to the outpatient building to see Wallace. Along the way, he recalled everything that had happened recently, and upon doing so, he was sure that Jessamine was pregnant, even without asking the doctor.He remembered her strange behavior, changes in her appetite, and her becoming sensitive. He also r
After ending the call, Thaddeus got into his car, lit his cigarette, and placed his arm on the window. The cigarette was already half gone, but he still didn't take a puff. After a long while, he put out the cigarette and put away the box with the remaining cigarette as if he had decided to quit smoking. About ten minutes later, Jordan sent a message. "Mr. Holt, Mrs. Holt has moved to this neighborhood. Here's the address."Thaddeus buckled his seat belt and slowly drove out of the hospital.…Meanwhile, Jessamine received an email from the leader of Swan, inviting her to develop her career in Marita. They even increased her salary significantly and provided her with splendid working conditions. However, she hesitated for a long while, not giving a reply at all. She wasn't sure if she could handle living in a foreign country with only her babies. She wanted to leave Zenville, but she had not considered leaving Crestia. At least she still had friends to rely on in her country
Jessamine had ordered groceries online, so she didn't feel suspicious at all. She stopped what she was doing and went to open the door.Upon seeing Thaddeus' handsome face, she froze. It was already too late to close the door. Thaddeus strode into the home as if this place were his own.Jessamine was forced to take a step back and get out of his way.Thaddeus kicked off his shoes when he walked in. He noticed that there weren't any men's slippers at home, so he walked barefoot on the ground. Jessamine couldn't figure out if he was in a good or bad mood now.After a long silence, Thaddeus said, "Jessie, return to Jardin Estate with me."Jessamine refused, "No, I won't."Thaddeus was a little frustrated. "I already asked Amy to move. No one will bother you anymore."Jessamine scoffed. That wasn't the issue here, but there was no way Thaddeus could ever cut off all contact with her. "Where she lives doesn't concern me. You don't have to worry about my feelings if you want to br
