The cab drove through the rich neighborhoods and stopped outside the entrance of a beautiful villa in the best location in the neighborhood. After paying the driver, Thomas slowly got out of the car and rang the doorbell.The household staff of the villa had finished cleaning and completed the work for the day when Thaddeus and Jessamine weren't home. When they heard the doorbell ring, a maid went toward the door. Upon seeing Thomas, she quickly opened the door and respectfully greeted him.Thomas looked around, but there was no sign of Jessamine. He asked, "Where's Madam Jessamine?"The maid answered honestly, "Madam Jessamine hasn't been home for three days. We can't reach her through the phone, and we can't reach Mr. Thaddeus, either. We have no idea what happened, but we can only wait for them."The maid's words made Thomas even more anxious. He went up to the third floor, his hands trembling. The master bedroom and the nursery were on that floor.The nursery was intricately
Thaddeus dared not tell Thomas the truth. He said stiffly, "Grandpa, where are you? I'll explain it to you in person."Thomas was furious. He yelled, "I'm in Jessie's villa. You'd better be home within half an hour and tell me where Jessamine and my great-grandchildren have gone!"After ending the call, Thaddeus sat up with Jordan's help and changed his clothes.Since Thomas had given his orders, no one dared to dissuade Thaddeus from leaving. He would have to explain things to Thomas sooner or later. If he didn't say anything, Thomas would eventually find out the truth on his own. If that happened, the consequences would be dire.The skilled Jordan drove Thaddeus back to the villa as quickly as possible.…Thomas was sitting on the sofa with a murderous expression on his face.Thaddeus pushed aside Jordan's and Joe's hands, which were holding him steady. He did his best to pull himself together and pushed the door open. "Grandpa!" he yelled, his voice so hoarse that it was
After carrying out a series of surgeries on Jessamine in the morning, the doctors notified Xander to prepare for the worst. However, he refused to give up, even if Jessamine's vitality was waning. He brought her back to Hajera on a private plane. To his surprise, after transferring Jessamine to the hospital in Hajera, her vitality returned gradually. Just like that, she had a chance to survive.Hope filled the despair in the Patton family's hearts. They prayed that Jessamine would wake up soon and meet the family that was protecting her. She would never be alone ever again. She had supporters and a family. No one would dare to bully her anymore.Gloria Norman, Jessamine's maternal grandmother, had dry eyes and hadn't cried for years. But now, her eyes were red from crying. "When will my poor granddaughter wake up?" she asked Xander. "Ask the world's best doctors to treat Jessie. I've already lost Elizabeth. If I lose Jessie, I won't be able to keep living."Xander comforted he
Gloria talked about stories from Elizabeth's childhood. "Your mother truly had grand ambitions. After graduating from college, she traveled to Zenville. When she was there, she met your scumbag of a father and insisted on marrying him. "I didn't approve of it, though. I'm not one of those snobbish rich folks, but your father seemed so unreliable and wasn't a good match for your mother. In order to marry him, your mother ran away from home, and they eloped. "Her actions angered your grandfather so much that he fell ill and died within a week of being admitted to the hospital. Let me give you some advice. When you find a partner, you have to spend more time with them. "Observe his personality, his attitude when interacting with others, and his family's views. You can't let your feelings cloud your rationality. When you wake up, I'll give you a hand in finding a new partner."Gloria talked for a long time, but Jessamine didn't respond to her words at all. She didn't even know if Je
Just like that, three days went by. During that time, Jessamine's limbs would move occasionally.When the doctor on duty did a routine examination on her, he noticed that she had opened her eyes and was staring blankly at the ceiling. He excitedly ran out of the ward and told the Pattons the good news.Since her vital signs had returned to normal, and she was out of danger, the doctor said she didn't have to be in the ICU anymore.The news pleased the Pattons. They were even happier than when they made millions of dollars from their family business.Xander had already arranged for the best VIP ward. It had a large space, good lighting, and first-class service.When Jessamine woke up, she was brought to the VIP ward before she could even figure out where she was. She stared at the strangers surrounding her bed with a joyful expression.Everything felt so unfamiliar to her that she felt as if she was reborn, but at the same time, she felt as if she were in a nightmare.When she sa
Jessamine cried, "My mother asked me to look for Malcolm before she died. Xander, I've been looking for you for years!"The Pattons wiped away their tears of joy.Xander eagerly introduced Jessamine to the family. "Jessie, this is your grandmother. This is Uncle Carter and Aunt Brooke, and that's my wife, Irene Harper, and your niece, Victoria. Remember, never give up your life for someone who isn't worth it. You'll always have our family's support."Jessamine blinked, signifying her agreement.The Pattons cried in joy in the ward. They were finally reunited as a family.Jessamine had just gotten out of the woods, so she was still very weak. In particular, since she had lost so much blood, she couldn't just recover in a short period of time.Soon, the nurse came into the ward and escorted them out. "The patient needs to rest. Only two of you can stay here to take care of her. The rest must wait outside."Upon hearing that only two people could stay, Gloria sat on the chair and d
As the cars started moving, Jessamine looked at the scenery outside the window. This was her first time in Hajera. Everything felt so unfamiliar.Then, they arrived in a villa area. Gloria took her hand and showed her around. "This house is for the household staff. That one is for Carter and Brooke, and the most beautiful one is for you…"Jessamine knew that the Pattons were the wealthiest family in the south of Crestia, but she didn't expect them to be so wealthy that even their household staff had a villa of their own. Moreover, since these villas belonged to the Pattons, they definitely built these homes under their real estate company. They used the best materials and the most luxurious decorations for their homes.The Holts were already a wealthy family in Zenville. They were considered to be as famous as the Pattons in the South. However, their housing arrangements weren't as exaggerated as the Patton family's.Jessamine felt like an inexperienced country bumpkin as she let
"Don't be afraid, Jessie. I'll be right by your side. I won't go anywhere," Thaddeus murmured. Suddenly, Jordan hurried over from the company with some documents that urgently needed to be signed. "Mr. Holt, we can't delay these contracts anymore. We'll have problems in the company's operations if we do this again. Please look through them."However, Thaddeus ignored him. He had been sleeping in the cemetery for so long that he already had stubble on his chin.Jordan didn't have any other choice with those shareholders forcing his hand. They were clamoring to hold a meeting to elect a new CEO to take over Thaddeus' job.Therefore, Jordan was determined to bring Thaddeus back. "Mr. Holt, the shareholders are demanding that you step down from your post."Thaddeus slumped in front of the grave, hugging the headstone. He said indifferently, "That's fine. I'll have more time to be with her."Jordan looked at his boss in pity. He had worked with Thaddeus for years, but he had never se
