Angeline couldn't find a reason for Robert's presence. Her expression was vacant."Of course, Sean doesn't know I'm here in Dmont. If it can be kept a secret, I don't plan on letting Sean know we've met," Robert said. He set aside his glasses and book on a small table beside him. He then picked up a compatibility report and continued, "My daughter needs a kidney transplant. The doctors said a relative's kidney would improve the chances of a successful transplant... I'm too old to be a match, but your kidney is perfect for her. Would you be willing to donate?"Despite requesting Angeline's help, Robert was still reluctant to acknowledge her as his granddaughter."She..." Angeline began. She was supporting her frail body with her weak arms as she lifted herself in bed. Her tear-filled eyes were filled with concern. "What's happened to her?""That's none of your concern. If you're unwilling, I can, of course, find a suitable kidney for my daughter elsewhere. Don't worry about
Upon learning of Angeline's achievements in various competitions, Robert was reminded of his once-brilliant daughter. He felt proud that Angeline was indeed his granddaughter. Yet, this pride was tainted by a more profound loathing for the Emmerson family, which had destroyed his daughter's life. That led to a renewed distaste for Angeline.However, this time, Robert seemed to let go of his disdain for her after seeing Angeline's appeal on a TV program for harsher penalties for kidnappers and traffickers. He sensed that Angeline was giving her all to save the mother she once couldn't. He knew that if given the choice, Angeline would trade her life for a chance to turn back time and prevent his daughter's kidnapping. Thus, Robert found it in himself to forgive Angeline.The talk of a kidney donation in the hospital room was merely a test for Angeline. If his daughter truly needed a kidney with minimal risk of rejection, Robert could easily have arranged for a suitable donor. His v
Following closely behind Sean, Asher stepped forward and announced, "Mr. Lawson Senior, the plane is ready to take off."Robert gave Sean a deep look. "There's also the matter of you marrying her in Ravoria for the sake of the twins she's carrying. Wrap that up cleanly and quickly. "From the public's perception, she is a relative with blood ties to you. What was the meaning behind your marriage? I don't want this to become a scandal for the Lawson family. Both of you... Don't disappoint me."After watching Robert enter the airport, Asher spoke softly, "Mr. Lawson Senior hasn't been completely indifferent to Ms. Angeline over the years. After all, she's part of the family. "In his heart, Ms. Angeline and Benjamin are different. Since Mr. Lawson Senior intends for Ms. Angeline to return to the Lawson family, he will surely look after her well. You needn't worry too much.""Where is Angeline now? Can't you tell me?" Sean asked."That's right. Mr. Lawson Senior knows you've alway
At this moment, Sean struggled with intense emotions surging within him. He felt like his strong desire and longing for Angeline, which he had always suppressed out of fear of frightening her, should have been confessed to her long ago."I admit, when I decided to give up on Ned, I thought of just wrecking everything. So I drank that spiked drink, intending to sleep with someone else as he wished. But... I couldn't go through with it in the end," Angeline chuckled softly. She added, "Because I still had Anne and Henrietta. Anne might not be my biological mother, but she did her best. "She simply didn't know how to get close to me. So, she could only wait cautiously with Henrietta in the distance for me to approach them. That's why Ned was so important to me!"Finally, Sean could hear the emotional turmoil in Angeline's voice."I was wrong! It was my obsession with Ned that led to Anne's death, to Henrietta's death, to... my children's deaths! But... I'm not the only one to blame
Angeline felt incapable of loving someone again. Her heart harbored only deep-seated hatred. "Hatred, huh?"A voice echoed from the doorway.Angeline turned her head. She saw an elderly gentleman standing at the door. He was about Robert's age. His eyes sparkled with kindness. He held a tray with a pot of chamomile tea.She recognized him. He seemed to be the Lawson family's retired butler. She recalled Sean's assistant, Taylor, had mentioned that Paul Danvers, the retired butler, had been managing a farm for Robert on the outskirts of Krontos for many years."What?" Angeline looked at Paul in puzzlement.Paul approached Angeline with a smile. He placed the small table by her bed and set the teapot before her."I mean, Ms. Emmerson, you must hold onto that hatred in your heart. It will give you the strength to face challenges head-on! Constantly yielding and running away from trouble isn't the Lawson way. "We believe in repaying our debts, whether in kindness or vengeance.
Sean's gaze was narrow and deep. He showed no emotion. "Are you threatening me?""Not at all. Regardless of your willingness to cooperate with me, I won't reveal this matter to anyone. You can trust me on this," Monica assured.…Meanwhile, Ned was clad in a sterile suit. He held Ingrid's hand tightly. His red eyes were filled with emotion, conveying his pain as he whispered, "The children are gone! Ingrid, please wake up. I made just one mistake. Don't torture me like this! Once you wake up, we'll get married right away. I've remembered some things, but... it's always been you I love the most! Please..."Ingrid's fingers twitched slightly. Ned abruptly stood up and called, "Ingrid! Ingrid!"Her eyelashes fluttered. Ingrid slowly opened her eyes after a long while. She murmured something, but the oxygen mask muffled her words.Ned let go of Ingrid's hand. He turned and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! She's awake!"Ingrid struggled to grasp Ned's hand from the hospital bed. T
"Her figure clearly shows years of fitness!" fans of Ingrid, who came to pick her up, remarked. They couldn't resist pulling out their phones to snap photos of Angeline and her daughter.Ned's feet seemed glued to the spot. He watched until the black figure almost vanished from sight. Then he snapped back to reality. He pushed through the crowd before him and hurried after her.Once out of the elevator, Angeline's phone wouldn't stop ringing.Angeline and Yasmine Emmerson entered a coffee shop. They ordered hot milk and cake. Then she removed her mask."Yasmine, sit here for a bit. Mommy needs to take a call," she said."Okay!" Yasmine grasped the milk cup with both hands. She took a few sips, leaving a milk mustache on her lips.Angeline pulled out a tissue. She wiped Yasmine's mouth while listening to the anxious ramblings on the phone."Vitality Biotech Group's founder must attend the hearing in Marvonia. Otherwise, they'll take action against all our projects. They said
"Whose child is this?" Taylor and the other executives from Lawson Global looked around. They didn't see any parent in pursuit.Sean spoke on the phone, "If I can't make it back for this afternoon's press conference, have Vice President Mr. Wagler step in. The press release should go out without a single change." After speaking, Sean ended the call and picked up the little girl hanging from his leg. Despite her small size, she felt surprisingly heavy in his arms."Are you lost, kid? Where are your parents?" Sean asked."My mommy went to the restroom! I spotted Daddy at first glance! Daddy... am I smart? Mommy didn't want me to come back with her... I only tagged along and threw a tantrum to return to find Daddy!" Yasmine hugged Sean's neck tightly, continuing, "Mommy said I don't have a daddy, but she's lying. I'm not an orphan..."Yasmine's speech was scattered at three or four years old. She jumped from one topic to another without much focus. Although she didn't convey muc
