Angeline looked at Ingrid briefly before finally asking, "Ingrid, this isn't like you. Weren't you deeply in love with Ned?"I remember you telling me when I just woke up from my coma that Ned was your everything. And because you grew up with your uncle's family without your parents, Ned was the one who gave you all the happiness you'd ever known. You should use this opportunity to get Ned to fall for you!""I love him! I really do!" Ingrid choked up. "But Angie, his love for me was stolen from you. I know that full well. I heard from others that truly loving someone means wishing them happiness. Even if it hurts me, I want to love Ned properly.""That's not what love is." Angeline clenched her phone tightly in her hand. "To love someone is to possess him fully. It is wanting to be with him no matter the circumstances. True love is being unable to withstand him treating anyone of the opposite sex that isn't you or his relative well. That is my understanding of love."After
"Should I send Yasmine back to Grand Court Residences first?" Asher asked."Granddad needs you by his side. You should return to the old Lawson residence. Danny should be here any moment now. When I was busy in the labs, Danny always accompanied the children. They have a close relationship," Angeline said with a smile."I think we should get Mr. Danvers back. We should have him look after you and the children." Asher looked at Yasmine with pity in his eyes."Mr. Danvers is getting older, and the weather in Krontos is erratic. I don't want to trouble him. Besides, the children are usually at the old Lawson residence, and I can take care of myself. You should only be concerned about caring for Granddad, Mr. Millstone. Don't worry about me."Angeline had just finished speaking when Danny drove up in his flashy sports car. He didn't even bother parking his car properly before clambering out. Just as he was about to say something, he caught sight of Yasmine fast asleep and quickly swa
When Angeline turned around, she saw Sherryn hurrying toward her.Sherryn had received the news while she was at a beauty parlor. There were still traces of a facial mud mask that hadn't been properly cleaned off her face.When she saw Angeline, Sherryn asked anxiously with a tremble, "How's Ned? I heard that his arm was fractured and that he'd been stabbed twice. Is it serious? Is it?"After her experience of losing Yasmine, Angeline knew just how worried a mother felt when her child was hurt. So, she said gently to Sherryn, "They've secured a steel plate in his arm, and the stab wounds on his body missed any of his internal organs. The wounds have been sutured and are considered just external injuries."Sherryn heaved a sigh of relief. Then, her knees buckled. Fortunately, Angeline was swift to support her."I… Let me collect myself before I go in." Sherryn supported herself against the wall, trying to compose herself. Nobody knew just how flustered she was when she heard th
Later, when Sherryn found out that Vitality Biotech Group belonged to Angeline, she finally understood that this was all part of Angeline's revenge.Sherryn initially hated her for that. But after she got a divorce herself, Sherryn started to see things from Angeline's point of view and could understand the reasons for her actions. She felt that if she had Angeline's abilities, she would want to take revenge on Barry to make him lose everything, too."After I divorced Barry, I gave things a lot of thought. I regretted going against you and Ned after you woke up from your coma and allowing him to take advantage of you."Sherryn continued sincerely, "Angie, what I mean to say is that I'm not against the both of you being together anymore. I admit it's partly because you're now the Lawson family's adopted daughter. "But more than that, I wish you'd consider the children. It's best for children to grow up with their biological parents. Who else but their own father would risk his ow
Sherryn felt sad because Angeline left without entering Ned's ward. However, as a mother herself, she empathized with Angeline's wish to return and comfort her kids.After all, Angeline had stayed until Ned's surgery was completed.When Sherryn pushed the door open, Ingrid quickly stood up and greeted, "Mrs. Fletcher.""Why are you here?" Sherryn's face was tense. "Didn't Ned say he'd broken off the engagement with you and would wait for an appropriate time to announce it?" Ingrid nodded. "I heard about Ned's accident, so I rushed over. Where's Angie? Has she left?"Sherryn placed her bag on the coffee table and said, "Here's the thing, Ingrid. I agreed with you and Ned being together before. But now that Ned has regained his memory, he can't be with anyone other than Angeline! Even if she denies that the child is his, he did everything he could to save her child. You should also know that Ned can never be with you!"After a brief pause, she continued, "You're still young
While Angeline was on her way back to Grand Court Residences, her phone kept vibrating. It wasn't until she was about to get out of the car that she composed herself and finally answered the call. "Hello...""Angeline, why did you call me? Is everything okay?" Sean asked.He had his phone on silent mode, so it was only after meeting Melissa that he noticed the missed calls. Worried that something might be wrong, he kept trying to reach Angeline."It's nothing. Everything has been sorted out," Angeline replied."Why didn't you answer my calls?" Sean seemed to have walked to a secluded spot as the surroundings grew quiet around him."I fell asleep in the car," Angeline said.Sean could tell from her voice that it had a hint of grogginess. It was indeed like someone who had just woken up.He remarked, "Don't overwork yourself. Work is important, but your health is even more crucial. Have you had dinner?""I've just reached the ground floor of Grand Court Residences. I'll grab
"Why are you saying a tongue twister, Mr. Reilly?" Yasmine muttered as she held a pile of cards in her arms.When she saw Angeline smiling at the door, she quickly dropped the cards and ran toward her. "Mommy!" Angeline scooped Yasmine up and hugged her tightly. "Why did you wake up as soon as you got back? Didn't you nap at noon? Aren't you tired?""I'm not tired at all! When I learned I could sleep with you tonight, I got so excited I couldn't sleep!" Yasmine wrapped her arms around Angeline's neck and planted two kisses on her cheek, whispering, "Xavier isn't around, so I can have you all to myself tonight!"Danny stood up, smiling as he asked, "I've always wondered why you call her 'Mommy' while Xavier calls her 'Mom'. You even mix it up sometimes, calling her 'Mommy' one moment and 'Mom' the next!""It's to help Mommy differentiate between me and Xavier! Mommy said when I was little, I always liked to wear the same clothes and have the same things as Xavier. I also oft
As Angeline settled Yasmine into the high chair, Danny tapped on the table. "Why don't you give him a call and ask him to come over? Let me meet him, and I'll give him a once-over for you!"Yasmine was almost kidnapped, and even Angeline's scumbag ex-husband suffered severe injuries while attempting to save the kid. It didn't make sense for her current partner not to show up."Does your mouth never rest even during mealtime?" Angeline used her fork to plate a piece of rib for Danny. "Here, have some!"Danny thought Angeline might feel embarrassed in front of her child. He chuckled. "Fine. Anyway, there'll be plenty of chances to meet him in the future. But honestly speaking... Since Yasmine's incident was such a big deal, you might want to talk to him and observe his reaction. See what he can do for you. It's not just about how much he values you but also about his capabilities! You've experienced heartbreak once. I don't want you to go through another unsuitable relationshi
