Thaddeus was about to leave home when he got a call from Colin. He had missed a lot of work recently. "Mr. Holt, you need to come over. Amy isn't doing good."Thaddeus paused as he held his clothes, instinctively glancing at Jessamine, who was planting flowers in the living room. "What's wrong?""Amy's suicidal tendencies have returned. She just walked to the rooftop of the hospital and was just a step away from falling to her death. We've kept her under control, but you need to see her. She may actually lose her life if I'm not careful," explained Colin.Colin made the situation sound more serious than it actually was. He almost cried to make it more believable.Thaddeus looked solemn. "I'll be there right away."Judging from his tone, Jessamine knew the phone call had something to do with Amy. The Quiltons must have gotten news about her return. Now, they wouldn't let up on her at all.She stood up and looked at Thaddeus. She asked bluntly, "Will you be home tonight?"Thaddeus

Thaddeus had just learned that he was having twins. He had even brought Jessamine home, and their relationship improved because of it. But now, Amy and the Quiltons were forcing him to abandon his wife and children.He stood outside the ward with a heavy heart until the doctor came out when he was done.Thaddeus asked, "Doctor, how has she been in the past two days? Is she getting better?"The doctor shook his head and said, "She is very nervous, and her condition hasn't improved. I'm worried that something in her might snap one day, and she may do anything drastic. "Moreover, her condition has worsened more than yesterday. At this rate, she won't know who she is anymore."Thaddeus trembled upon hearing the doctor's answer. Amy was in a really bad spot. "Doctor, is there any way to help her recover as soon as possible?"He figured that the incident that night must have frightened her. She was still lucid when he carried her out of that cemetery, so how could she have gone insane

Thaddeus worked in the company until late at night. By the time he felt hungry, the lights outside the company building had already lit up.The dinner Jordan brought him had gone cold on the dining table, but Thaddeus had no appetite. He was feeling confused.Just now, Amy called again. She told him that she had ordered a wedding dress and asked him to accompany her to try it on the next day. He didn't know how to answer her. He feared that she would kill herself, but at the same time, he also feared that she would torment him as long as she was alive. She would constantly torment him with her presence, no matter whether she was dead or alive.Just then, the housekeeper at home called him, telling him that Jessamine had been waiting for him to return home for dinner. Therefore, he turned off the lights in his office and drove home.Jessamine had been sitting in the same spot until nighttime. When she heard the familiar sound of a car, she was relieved. He really came home.Thadd

When Amy saw Thaddeus, she hopped out of her chair excitedly like a child.Thaddeus knew that Amy's mentality had returned to when she was 19. He recalled the way they had interacted back then. She would talk about her whimsical ideas and voice out tons of unrealistic wishes. She would even whine at him to help her realize those ideas and wishes.Back then, he was busy with work and immediately agreed to her requests when he got annoyed by her whines. But right now, he severely regretted doing so. His words had given her false hope, which also became a shackle that bound him to her."Amy, my meeting is about to begin. Don't disrupt me and get back to the hospital," said Thaddeus.Amy frowned. "I don't want to! I'll keep you company! I won't cause you any trouble."Thaddeus felt helpless. He couldn't drive her away at all.Jordan arranged the meeting in the multimedia conference room. During the meeting, Amy had the CEO's office to herself.The secretaries Amy had ordered around

"Didn't you get someone to tail her?" Thaddeus questioned.Jordan quickly explained, "I did. Our men jumped into the lake with her. Two of them who know how to swim pulled her up while the other called for help."Thaddeus rubbed his temples, clearly not having the motivation to work anymore. "Is she okay?" he asked with a trembling voice."Nothing serious happened to her. She may have choked on some water, but her life isn't in danger," informed Jordan.Thaddeus dropped the documents in his hand and hurriedly stood up. "I'm going to see her."Jordan quickly ran to press the elevator button and drove straight to the hospital. When they arrived, Amy was already lying in bed in her ward.After a round of check-ups from the psychiatrist, gynecologist, and cardiologist, they discovered that Amy had a schizophrenia attack and nearly had an abortion.Suddenly, Colin came out of nowhere and ran to Thaddeus, his face covered with tears and snot. "Mr. Holt, Amy almost had a miscarriage.

Thomas looked healthy. The doctor said he could be discharged from the hospital in a week. At that moment, he was really excited. He was eager for time to pass by so that he could meet his great-grandchildren.After hanging up the phone, Jessamine checked the time. It was around 9:00 pm. She felt bitter as she ate alone in the dining room. Her food didn't taste good at all.In the nursery, there was a baby swing that Thaddeus asked Jordan to bring home. Jessamine unwrapped the package and sat on the ground as she slowly installed it. When she didn't understand what to do, she watched the instructional videos over and over again.A housekeeper brought her some milk and looked at her from the door for a long time. "Mrs. Holt, why don't you have a glass of milk? It'll help you sleep better."Jessamine gave her a calm smile and took the cup. Right now, she wasn't alone. She had to consider the well-being of her babies. She would try anything beneficial for her health, even though she h

On the other end of the phone, Colin was left stunned and speechless by Jessamine's question.After hanging up the phone, Jessamine blocked this number. She slowly drank her soup until the bowl was empty. Then, she opened her private chat with Thaddeus and sent a text. It said, "Thaddeus Holt, reply to his message when you're free. We're going to the courthouse to settle the divorce."…Meanwhile, Thaddeus had stayed in the hospital all night. When he walked out to smoke in the morning, he noticed that he had muted his phone at some point. He had several missed calls in his call history. When he saw Jessamine's caller ID, he raised his eyebrows. Then, he saw a message from her on WhatsApp. Upon seeing her message that she wanted to settle the divorce at the courthouse, he felt his heart pounding. He quickly opened his contact list to call her, but he noticed he had zero way of explaining what had happened last night.He had left behind his pregnant wife at home and stayed up

Thaddeus' eyes were red and his throat was dry. He rasped, "Then, you might as well die."The ward was eerily silent. Then, the silence was broken by Amy's hysterical cries. "You said you would marry me! I've liked you for over a decade, and I'm pregnant with your child! How can you do this to me? I'm not a rag you can just toss aside!"Amy hit her stomach and cried, "I should be dead, and so should my baby! We don't deserve to live! We're just unwanted and annoying people who don't deserve to live! We shouldn't even be here!"Hearing the cries in the ward, Colin dashed into the room with the doctor. He grabbed Amy's arm. "Amy, calm down! Please! Mr. Holt's the father of your child. He wouldn't abandon you like that! You've misunderstood him. He's just fooling around."Amy gradually calmed down as several people held her steady. She glared at the heartless Thaddeus with tears in her eyes, feeling wronged. She was unhappy. Why should she let him go?Since she was a teenager, she ha

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
