"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

Jessamine felt herself freeze upon hearing Thaddeus' words. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word. She didn't know what she should say.Jessamine knew Thaddeus didn't like children. She didn't have much confidence and wasn't sure if he would accept the existence of her babies. She observed him carefully amidst her panic, but she couldn't see any hints of displeasure on his face. In fact, he looked loving, almost like he was looking forward to having the baby. Someone like him would never show that kind of attitude."H-How did you know that?" she finally uttered after a long time.Thaddeus rubbed his temples in exasperation. "I already know everything. So, do you want to move back to Jardin Estate, or do you want me to move here?"Jessamine looked like a child who had been caught stealing food. She dared not face him at all. She didn't expect him to find out the truth. She thought he would never find out about her pregnancy. In that case, her plans to bring her

Thaddeus scoffed at her ridiculous question. There was no way he would abandon his own child. What on earth was she saying? As the people on the Internet said, pregnancy brain really was a thing. "Why do you ask?"Jessamine licked her lips nervously. "Since you don't like children, I thought you'd make me… get rid of them." She was tense when she said those words.Thaddeus hung his head down. "Is that why you never told me about it?"Jessamine's silence was enough of an answer for him.Thaddeus chuckled and gently scolded her, "You fool." Then, he asked, "When did you get pregnant?"He remembered that he had used protection every time they had sex. He was always cautious when it came to this. He was surprised that Jessamine's babies had been conceived despite the precautions he had taken.Jessamine lowered her head and recounted, "When you came home drunk in the middle of the night. We never used protection."Thaddeus had zero memory of the scenario Jessamine described. Upon hea

In the building across from Thaddeus and Jessamine's, Xander looked unhappy as he asked, "Didn't you tell the security guard not to let Thaddeus in? Why did he let him in?"His assistant looked aggrieved. "Mr. Patton, that cunning bastard bought a place in this neighborhood and became an owner. The security guard didn't have a reason to stop him from coming in."Xander stubbed his cigarette and threw it into the trash can. "What about Margaret and Amy?"His assistant answered, "They have gone insane.""I'm going back to Hajera for a few days. Stay here and keep things in order. Make sure Ms. Patton is safe," Xander instructed.His assistant nodded. "All right, Mr. Patton."…At dinner time, Thaddeus asked someone to bring Jessamine some nutritious meals.Jessamine had been cooking simple dishes for herself recently. Coupled with her depressed mood and poor appetite, she hadn't eaten a rich meal for a long time. When she saw the table filled with delicious food, she thought it w

Thaddeus had zero knowledge of how women thought.Thomas said in disgust, "Fine. Go and ask Jessie when her due date is. We can prepare in advance and make an appointment with the best gynecologist in Zenville to deliver the baby."Thaddeus hung his head down. Thomas never showed him mercy, not even when Joe was around. He even gave him instructions as if he was a child. He nodded. "I got it."Right now, Jessamine was the one in power. If she was upset, Thaddeus would have a hard time.After seeing Thomas, Thaddeus called Jordan. "Bring the cardiologist here and get him to diagnose Amy later."Thaddeus became gloomy at the topic of Amy. He reluctantly walked toward her ward. Amy was currently sleeping soundly. Margaret had been transferred to another ward, so the room was silent.Colin was sitting on the bench outside the ward and quickly stood up upon seeing Thaddeus arrive. "Mr. Holt, you're here!"Thaddeus nodded in greeting and looked at the room. "Why is she sleeping at t

"We're here, Mr. Holt," Jordan informed them. Along with him was the doctor, Gavin, a man in his 50s. After a brief greeting, they entered the elevator.Jordan led the way, and when they were almost outside of Amy's ward, they heard crying from inside the room.Everyone paused and looked at each other.Thaddeus strode to the room and opened the door. Amy had already woken up and was sitting on the bed with disheveled hair. She held the corner of the blanket with both hands, and her eyes were unfocused.When she saw the group of people at the door, a frightened expression appeared on her face. "No, get away from me! I didn't hurt you! Go bother someone else…" She was talking nonsense, just like Margaret.Colin burst into tears. "Amy! Why did you end up with the same condition as your mother? Don't scare me!"The director noticed the grave situation and asked Thaddeus, "Mr. Holt, do you want to get a psychiatrist to check on her?"Thaddeus nodded. "Hurry!"He then walked into t

Thaddeus was dumbfounded. Why hadn't he considered using blood types to eliminate the possibility first?"My dad has type O blood."Jessamine's stroked his Adam's apple softly and deliberately. "My mom has type B blood, and I have type AB blood. Do you think it's possible that we could be long-lost siblings?"Thaddeus thought for some time and couldn't help but burst out in hearty laughter. It was impossible for someone with type B blood and someone with type O blood to have a child with AB type blood. What was he worrying about?At that moment, he couldn't believe how foolish he'd been. Biology was his best subject in school, yet he didn't think about this until Jessamine reminded him. His biology teacher would be furious if they knew."Why didn't you say so earlier, Jessie?" He regretted not talking to her about it sooner and ended up suffering in prolonged silence by himself.After Jessamine got bored touching his Adam's apple, she started playing with his rough chin. "I just

Jessamine lay still for a long time, aware that Thaddeus was also awake, battling insomnia just like her.This visit to Zenville to solve one mystery ended up bringing her an even bigger one.The gathering took place years ago in the restaurant owned by Benji's family. She had even asked Benji about it. The surveillance footage from over 20 years ago wouldn't be around now, and even the staff had changed several times. The restaurant's manager from back then had left the job many years ago.It wasn't easy to uncover the truth from back then unless they found the people who were directly involved. The closer they got to the truth, the more pressure she felt.By investigating this matter now, she was essentially peeling back the layers that had been hiding a much deeper issue. As she confronted the dark side of human nature, the ultimate victim ended up being her beloved mother.If Jessamine didn't look into this matter, she felt like she would be letting Elizabeth down. She wanted

Thaddeus frowned immensely at his request. "Don't be ridiculous!""I'm serious. You could help me rent one too. You know, the kind that charges by the day. I'll fool my dad first. We'll deal with everything else once he gets better," Benji said.Thaddeus cursed inwardly, "Dude, don't drag me into this, especially with my wife watching. It sounds like you're implying I have ways to get or rent women."Thaddeus glanced back at Jessamine and said, "I don't know about this. You should ask someone else. If you're at your wits end, go ask one of the assistants in your company to help you out."Benji seemed to come to a realization. He said, "It's getting late. You all should go back and rest. There are doctors here. I'll stay and keep watch."Jessamine asked, "Can you handle this on your own, Mr. Moore?""Sure, thank you… all of you," Benji replied.After saying a few more words of comfort, Jessamine and Thaddeus went downstairs to the car. Thaddeus' phone started ringing again."Mr.

Maya also knelt by the bed and started crying."Dad, don't speak for now. Please be okay."Benji zoned out. Seeing Carmen and Maya crying, his mind was in a mess. He realized that he couldn't continue to live aimlessly—his family needed him now."A girlfriend, a girlfriend..." he mumbled, not even sure of what he was saying.The doctor hurried to the room upon hearing the call, checked on Jonathan again, and then sent the family away."The patient needs rest and should avoid additional emotional stress. You all can wait outside for now. There's no need for everyone to be here, one would be enough. The room can be stuffy if there's too many people here, too."They then left the room. Benji was holding the X-ray images of Jonathan's brain, but he couldn't make any sense of it. He felt completely lost.Shane quietly slipped away from the crowd after watching from afar. He went to an empty hallway and called his father. "Dad, are you free to analyze some X-ray images? It's for a fri

Benji had always lived a smooth and pleasant life. It hit him hard after hearing what the doctor said, leaving him in a state of shock and bewilderment."Mom, hasn't Dad always been in good health? How did he suddenly..."Carmen's eyes were red and swollen from crying."He mentioned feeling dizzy a few times recently and said he'd go for a check-up but actually never did. Plus, he's been swamped with work lately and hasn't got any time. Today, he suddenly fainted at the office. His assistant called an ambulance right away and brought him to the hospital. By the time I got the call, he was already being examined inside."Benji's face turned pale. With Jonathan down, the burden of supporting his family fell on him. He had been free from responsibility for the past 20 years, and now, suddenly having to shoulder this heavy load, he felt completely lost.His father had been asking him to get familiar with the company's operations a long time ago. However, he was too lazy to bother abou

Benji never had any grand ambitions. From the day he was born, people always told him that he didn't need to worry about anything since most problems in this world could be solved with money, and his family had plenty of it. He just wanted to drift through life."I don't need to surpass him. As long as I can cover my daily expenses and not have to ask him for money, that's enough," Benji replied.As they were talking, Shane had prepared a table full of dishes. He set out four sets of plates and cutleries before calling everyone over to eat. "It's time to eat."The four of them hadn't seen each other in a long time, so they had to have a drink.Jessamine looked at the beautifully prepared dishes on the table and couldn't help but offer a compliment. "Shane, your cooking skills have gotten so good."Shane opened a bottle of red wine and poured some for everyone. "What can I do? There's a glutton at home."Benji was not happy with Shane's comment. What did he mean by saying there wa

"It's great that you came by today, Jessie. I'll pay you back the money. Friends who are willing to lend money these days are rare, so I want to thank you again," Benji said.He hadn't repaid the money he borrowed last time yet. Coincidentally, he received some money today, so he decided to settle the debt in person. With that, he picked up his phone to make the transfer.Jessamine's phone chimed, indicating that a payment had been received. The amount was a bit more than what she had lent out."Mr. Moore, I'm not here to ask you to settle your debt. You can keep it for now. I won't need the money for the time being," Jessamine said."If one borrows and returns promptly, borrowing again won't be difficult. You're much easier to talk to than Thaddeus. Despite knowing him for so many years, borrowing money from him is such a hassle. You saw it last time yourself. That scoundrel's attitude was terrible!" Benji complained.At this point in the conversation, Thaddeus happened to arrive

Thaddeus tightened his grip on Jessamine's slender waist. "What am I going to do with you, Jessie?"He thought to himself that if things really were just that coincidental, he would rather play the fool and pretend to know nothing at all. He just couldn't leave her.Jessamine asked softly, "How about you ask your dad?"Thaddeus paused for a moment and took out his phone to call Corey. He couldn't calm his mind at all.After a few seconds of hearing the dial tone, the call was answered."Dad," Thaddeus said.On the other end of the phone, Corey was about to go to sleep. He had been adjusting his routine lately, aiming to go to bed early and wake up early."What’s up?" Corey asked."Do you remember the gathering over 20 years ago with Mr. Hardy, Jacob Langston, Leon Lincoln, Paxton Loomis, and a few others?"After that, Thaddeus added, "That night, a beautiful woman came over. She drank some alcohol and was drugged."There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the ph

On the other side, Jessamine and Thaddeus got into the car.Jessamine and Beatrice were quite familiar with each other. However, it was Jessamine's first time meeting Sabastian. Surprisingly, she had a pretty good impression of him."Do the Hardy and Holt families have business dealings with each other?"Thaddeus drove as he answered her question, "We don't have much interaction. We would occasionally invest in small projects and conduct some charity work in Zenville together."Mr. Hardy is an upright and trustworthy person. He has a good relationship with Grandpa. Hayden would often come to my house with him when I was young."Jessamine paused for a moment and asked, "Does he have a wife?""Hayden's mother passed away from an amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth. Since then, Mr. Hardy has remained single and never remarried."Jessamine was deeply moved. In this era, who would remain loyal for a lifetime to their deceased wives? Most men like Sabastian, who had both power a
