Melissa had tears streaming down her face as she shook her head. She had one hand clutching her chest while the other wrapped tightly around Sean's neck.

At that moment, Angeline felt her body become petrified.

She questioned if she had indeed heard Melissa say "our child".

"Please, Melissa. Listen to me. Your health is more important than the baby's."

Sean worriedly comforted Melissa.

"No! I don't care!"

Melissa looked like she was experiencing unbearable heartache, as her face was pale and drenched in sweat and tears. Her arm was still wrapped tightly around Sean's neck.

"I-I must protect our baby! Please, Shane. I'm begging you! Tell the doctor to save our baby! Save our baby that we tried so hard to conceive!"

Jamie was so worried about Angeline that he quickly pushed her through the hospital entrance.

The door cut off Melissa's loud bawl, yet Angeline could hear Sean comforting Melissa.

"Our baby came at the wrong time. But there's always next time, Melissa! We'

    As Angeline thought about it, she pressed the button on her electric wheelchair and opened the ward door. She intended to inquire about Melissa's ward at the nurses' station. "Ms. Lawson…" The bodyguards noticed Angeline and attempted to push her wheelchair. "It's okay. Let me familiarize myself with the wheelchair. We're at the hospital. You don't have to follow me," Angeline said before pressing the forward button on the wheelchair. The two night-shift nurses didn't notice Angeline coming in her electric wheelchair. They were gossiping in Kemanese at the nurses' station with their heads down. "Oh my! Ms. Lane's husband is so handsome and thoughtful!" "Right? He's even more handsome than those artists. I envy her!" "What's more impressive is that he prioritized Ms. Lane. Did you hear him telling the doctor to place the safety of his wife first? He's so cool! I assumed aristocrats like him would prioritize their offspring over their wives.""After Ms. Lane had calmed dow

    "Has the media been contained?" Sean exited the ward and took the sweater jacket from Wilfred before putting it on. "And the paparazzi blocking our entrance, did you manage to chase after them?" "Don't worry. Everything has been taken care of. News of Mrs. Kingston being hospitalized won't appear anywhere in the media tomorrow," Wilfred answered before looking into the ward. "I've made an appointment with Dr. Griffin. But Mrs. Kingston previously made a fuss because she didn't want to abort the baby. When I contacted Dr. Griffin earlier, he hoped you and Mrs. Kingston could discuss and come to an agreement first." "Melissa can't have the baby with her current condition. If we don't abort the baby, today's events will happen again at any time before she gives birth. We can't afford to take this risk." Sean furrowed his brows. "I'll try to convince Melissa. Please have Dr. Griffin make the arrangements." "Okay!" Wilfred looked at Sean and comforted, "Please take care of

    Meanwhile, on the 18th floor, Brian covered Melissa with a sheet after putting her into bed. He exited the ward and saw Sean, who just finished a phone call. "Thank you so much, Shane!" "Don't mention it, Mr. Lane. It is my duty," Sean replied. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't worried that Melissa might not accept the truth and force you to be her child's father, she wouldn't have insisted on keeping the child!" Brian wiped his tears with a handkerchief. "Shane, when Melissa has aborted the child and healed up, could you consider your childhood bond with her and—""Mr. Lane, Melissa is just like a little sister to me." "I know, I know!" Brian nodded repeatedly. "But Melissa's health doesn't allow her to have children. We could use some scientific methods to have someone bear you and Melissa's child! Consider it as a remembrance for Melissa…"Brian looked into Sean's eyes. Without finishing his sentence, he knew Sean would disagree and slumped forward. "Truthfully,

    "Oh, it's Ms. Lawson. She sprained her ankle last night.""Ms. Lawson is in Keman?" Sean was surprised. "Yes. Ms. Lawson is here to inspect a collaborative project." Jamie didn't reveal the details to Sean. "What a coincidence that we meet here…" Sean turned toward Wilfred, signaling him to buy flowers and a fruit basket. "I should pay Ms. Lawson a visit." Angeline was on her phone when Jamie and Sean entered her ward. "Please wait a moment." Jamie smiled while asking Sean to wait by the door before entering the ward. Jamie didn't close the door, and Angeline's faint smile could be seen from the slightly ajar door. Sean's heart thumped, trying to restrain his longing for Angeline. "Yeah, there's no need to trouble you to come visit me. But you caught the news about my hospitalization quickly, Mr. Dexter…" Sean knew Angeline was talking to Dexter. After listening to Dexter over the phone, the corners of Angeline's lips curled even higher. "Don't worry, Mr. D

    Sean wasn't even in Angeline's ward for five minutes when he was chased away. His smile faded as he entered the elevator, and then he ordered Wilfred, "Check when Ms. Lawson arrived in Showal last night and the time she was admitted into the hospital." "Yes, Mr. Kingston!" Sean's driver drove the car to the hospital entrance. Wilfred quickly opened the back seat door for Sean. However, Sean walked toward the driver's side and knocked on the window, signaling the driver to step out of the vehicle. "You didn't sleep well last night, Mr. Kingston. You should let the driver send you home while you rest!" Wilfred advised. "Get out," Sean said with furrowed brows. The driver unbuckled his seat belt and exited the car, allowing Sean to enter the driver's seat. He stepped on the pedal and drove off until he reached a section where he could stop. Then, he called Angeline's phone. However, Angeline's phone was busy for the entire time. When it finally got through, Angeline answer

    "The doctor said you can't get pregnant with your current health, Mrs. Kingston. Yet, you're insisting on giving birth to this baby?" Angeline laughed. "I'm sure you and Mr. Kingston will still have children in the future, Mrs. Kingston. Why are you so insistent on keeping this one?"Melissa tightened her grip on her stomach. "I'm afraid he's lying to me! He refused to let me get pregnant before this because he was afraid my body wouldn't be able to handle it. This baby… I had to pull some tricks to conceive it. I'm not afraid of dying—I just want to leave him with our child!"Melissa gave a determined look. Melissa once told Sean she didn't mind him keeping Monica in his heart. She only wanted to have Sean's child, yet he never even touched her. So, she drugged both her and Sean. Lo and behold, she indeed fell pregnant. She didn't know if Sean might consider staying for the child's sake after he had completed his revenge plan once Melissa gave birth.Melissa was ecstati

    It would be difficult for Thomas to investigate the matter from the bottom up, but Dexter could change that. Things would be much easier if he could provide an avenue for Thomas to look into the matter from the very top.Angeline discussed the battery plant's location with the government department in charge. Then, she met with the senior executives of the partnering company. When it got too late, she postponed the site visit to the following day.It was already nighttime when she returned to the hotel. She knew Dexter's people had been following her since she'd left the hotel—he was deathly afraid of her secretly having anything to do with Sean.Angeline's phone vibrated. She answered it when she saw it was Danny calling. "Hello?""Did you manage to see Tom?""Not yet. Word about me being in Keman is already out. He should approach me soon after hearing about it." She felt a little tired."You sound exhausted, boss. Maybe I should head there, too.""No, don't." Angeline s

    "I'm not a god, Sean, nor can I read your mind. I told you that I'm open to listening to your explanation." Angeline's expression was calm, but her fingers were cold to the touch. "If you're lying to me because you're worried I'll expose your identity after our breakup, I can assure you that you don't need to."I still need to protect the Lawson family and Lawson Global. More importantly, I don't want your freak of a wife to know that we used to be involved. I wouldn't want to end up in an accident like Monica did.""What?" Sean looked nonplussed."Your ex-fiancée, Monica Scott, got into an accident yesterday. I suspect Melissa has something to do with it." Angeline didn't hide her suspicions."That's impossible. Melissa is willful and a little ruthless, but she's only like that to her enemies." Sean didn't sound too confident. He thought about how Melissa had probed him and how the psycho hadn't been by her side recently.Angeline clenched her fist around the recorder.

    As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.

    Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough

    Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop

    That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting

    Melissa stared at Lori, who chuckled gently. "It's alright. There's no need to rush into anything. Take your time to think about it. Get good rest for a few days, then go shopping with me. We can buy some clothes to keep up with the changing seasons."I heard from Brayden and Sean that you're the expert in fashion and dressing up. I've always wanted a daughter who could shop, exercise, travel, café hop, and go on spa days with me."She paused and continued, "I didn't get to do any of this with you because you weren't in the best state before this. Now, though, you're all better. You're back to normal, and you've regained your memories!""I'd love that!" Melissa said without hesitation. She'd only done these things with her mother and Emelia in her dreams, but that was all they were—dreams. She was delighted now that Lori was back and willing to make her dreams come true.Sean sat on the couch and sipped his coffee. He knew Lori was doing everything she could to make his life ea

    Melissa nodded. Sean said, "I know you have no company management experience. Mr. Lane might have entrusted Trustworth Group to me, but it's still yours. Before you find someone to take over, my plan for the company is still to move its focus back to Lonla."The global situation isn't the best now, and Lonla is the safest place for expansion. That's why the company's focus has to return to Lonla—""You can hand the company over to Brayden," Melissa interrupted. "The only people in this world I trust are you, Dad, and Brayden. Now that Dad's in prison and you don't want me anymore, Brayden is all I have left.""I'm still your kin, Melissa. I won't kick you to the curb and leave you to die. Nevertheless, Trustworth Group is yours. You can have whoever you want to manage it. Brayden is capable of that." Sean looked at Brayden. "What do you think? Are you willing to take over Trustworth Group?""I'll do it as long as Melissa is okay with it!" Brayden nodded. He turned to look

    "That's not it! I've always been willing to care for you, and I'm more than willing to care for you in the future! It's not something that I'm forced to do…" Brayden feared his words would inadvertently hurt Melissa, so he decided not to continue in that vein.He said, "C'mon, you should head downstairs to eat something. You've already slept the day away.""I don't want to eat!" Melissa lay down again and pulled the sheets around herself. She said dully, "I want to sleep for a bit longer. Shut the door on your way out."Seeing that she'd already shut her eyes and started weeping, Brayden said softly, "I'll have the kitchen keep the food warm for you. Remember to call me when you wake up, okay? I'll be right downstairs!""Okay." Brayden left the room after hearing Melissa's muffled reply. He shut the door behind him.Melissa remained upstairs. She didn't head downstairs, even when Sean returned. Sean had already spoken to Angeline on the phone and told her he wouldn't meet

    Melissa slept in her room and only woke up at night. She removed her headphones and opened her red, swollen eyes. She stared dazedly at the night sky, only returning to her senses when her headphones fell out of her hands.Brayden, who'd been waiting outside this whole time, heard them fall to the floor and hurried into the room. He saw Melissa sitting cross-legged on the bed. She propped herself on one arm while leaning down to pick up the headphones.He hurried forward and picked them up for her, then remained on one knee by the bed. He looked up at her and said, "You slept for ages, Melissa. Do you want to have anything to eat? I got all your favorites, and there are different cuisines. I also got your favorite fruits and snacks!"He'd already had the maids throw out the food he'd bought at noon. Then, he'd had his subordinate buy a fresh batch.Melissa turned to look at him dazedly. She said hoarsely, "Brayden…""I'm here," he said. "C'mon, should we get something to eat

    Melissa knew Sean well. So, it was impossible for her not to know if he was being serious. Sean was indeed threatening her, and he was using his life to do it. That way, she wouldn't dare to harm Angeline for fear of hurting him.She loved Sean so much that she could give up her life for him. She wondered why he was treating her that way. He knew she wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of her threatening his safety.Just then, Sean received a call from Brayden. He said, "...Yeah, I've already picked Melissa up. We're heading to Southstream Manor now… Yeah, you can head over there. Buy some food on your way—Melissa probably hasn't eaten anything yet. She should be hungry."At his words, Melissa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She covered her face and started sobbing. She'd spent her whole life dreaming of becoming Sean's wife, but he was now in love with someone else and no longer wanted her.Yet, she couldn't do anything about the situation, or she'd be hurting
