When Angeline left the laboratory at 7:30 pm to pick Henrietta up from Cloudsville High School, she was surprised to find Ned's black SUV parked outside the laboratory building. As she wrapped herself in a scarf, she descended the stairs that led to the laboratory. She heard Ned call out to her when she walked past his SUV."Angeline!"She paused and huffed before she turned around. Ned leaned against the car door, holding a lit cigarette between his fingers. He put out his cigarette and strode toward Angeline, whose hands were still tucked into her down jacket."It doesn't matter if you believe me, but I didn't know Gregory was your cousin. I had no idea he was coming before I came to the lab."Angeline had a bad reputation. When she woke up from her coma, she'd tried to get close to Ned to make him recall his memories.However, that wasn't the case this time. "I know," Ned replied, standing only a step away from her."I'm very sorry about Ms. York."Angeline clenched her
However, Ned couldn't ask any of his friends or relatives about his past with Angeline.They would discover that he had recovered some of his memories if he did. Ingrid was already insecure from his history with Angeline, so he couldn't afford to add fuel to the fire. Angeline regained her composure once she exited Cloudsville College. Only then did she leave to pick Henrietta up. She asked Henrietta with a smile, "How was school today?"Henrietta signed, "Great! I love my classmates, and they were very nice to me. I'm incredibly pleased.""That's good!" Angeline exclaimed, ruffling her hair. Henrietta nodded and stared at Angeline solemnly as she gestured, "Angeline, I'm delighted that I got to transfer to a new school. I truly am! Our lives will only get better in the future."Angeline smiled, holding Henrietta's hand as she remarked, "Indeed."Angeline returned to her dorm after she dropped Henrietta back to school. Before she opened the dorm room door, Alva, who lived ne
Alvablue: "Could it be that jerk's?"PiggyMarion: "What are you on about?"Alvablue: "I said Angie's pregnant!"Alvablue: "I saw a bunch of pregnancy test strips in her bathroom, and they were all positive!"HandsomeReese: "Alva, stop spreading rumors!"Alvablue: "I'm not! I'm worried about Angie. She has to deal with this when she'd just lost one of her family members and still has to take care of her sister. My goodness! If I were her… I'd be devastated."Alvablue: "We have to come up with a solution."PiggyMarion: "If it's the jerk's baby, Angie should definitely abort it."Reese was speechless. HandsomeReese: "That's up to Angie to decide, right? We should be more attentive toward her instead. Make sure she doesn't get too stressed."Alvablue: "She might be planning to get an abortion if she takes a day off. If she doesn't want to tell us about it, we should figure out a way for her to rest more by then."…Meanwhile, Gregory was having supper in Ned's hotel room. He l
Gregory's mother had lost contact with her family in the country for decades due to issues with his father. Therefore, Gregory had no idea that Ned was diagnosed with amnesia after the car accident. He only thought he was behaving strangely. Ned strode out of the hotel. When he saw the valet helping another guest into a cab, Ned pulled the other guest away and got into the cab instead. Amidst the other guest's grumbles, Ned tossed all his cash to the driver. "To Cloudsville College. Step on it!"The driver noticed that Ned's arm was injured and wore a grim expression. However, his car zoomed off instantly when he saw the stack of cash. …Angeline tossed and turned on her bed after a shower. She didn't know what to do with her baby. When she recalled her encounter with Robert in the car, she decided to keep her pregnancy a secret from Sean. She felt that it was partly her fault for forgetting to take the morning-after pill. Her phone buzzed on the bedside table. She reac
Angeline tossed a long down jacket over her pajamas. She changed her shoes and headed downstairs. Ned strode toward her when he saw her exiting the dormitory building. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to a secluded corner. "Are you pregnant?" he asked impatiently. "Did Gregory tell you?" Ned didn't answer, but his expression turned sour as he retorted, "Why didn't you tell me?"Angeline looked up at him and snapped, "Why should I?""You can't keep the child. Abort it!"Hearing how he ordered her around as usual, she looked at him as though he were an idiot. "What does that have to do with you, Ned? What's your problem? I left Oceanford, yet you came all the way to Cloudsville College to look for me. Do you really have no dignity at all? Or do you expect me to cling to you whenever you appear even though we're divorced?""Angeline!""Ned, do you need a sucker that badly? Will you only be satisfied if someone is fawning over you?""Angeline!" Ned's grip on her arm tig
Ned clenched his fists. His expression was dark and indiscernible. "Could you share how Gregory learned about my pregnancy?" Angeline asked. "I checked his phone. Your labmates were talking about taking care of you or something along those lines in the chat group."From that, Angeline was sure Alva saw the pregnancy test strips in the bin. "Thanks," she replied, wrapping her jacket tightly around her as she left. Ned was surprisingly composed when she left, possibly because he felt guilt over her pregnancy. He stood still as he watched her go.Angeline ran into Alva when she entered the dormitory building. She had two servings of supper with her as she looked at Angeline with concern."Angie, um… Gregory's cousin, and you…" Alva muttered hesitantly. Alva noticed the light was still on in Angeline's room, so she headed downstairs to get some supper, worried that Angeline might be hungry. She was appalled to see Gregory's cousin dragging Angeline into a corner. Although Al
Angeline instantly locked her phone screen. Her heart was pounding heavily. She recalled the bruises she saw on Henrietta's wrists when she fell asleep on the dining table. However, she found no other wounds on Henrietta when she checked. So, Angeline assumed that the bruises on her wrists were by accident.Moreover, Henrietta had returned home early with her shoes wet the other day.Yesterday afternoon, Henrietta's eyes gleamed with hope and joy when Angeline had picked her up for lunch. She was overjoyed to be transferred to a new school and was confident that life would improve for them. Angeline finally realized Henrietta wasn't happy because she transferred to Cloudsville High School. Instead, she was simply relieved she could finally attend a new school. Roaring waves of fury washed through Angeline. Her heart ached, but she couldn't stop it. She should've been more attentive and learned that Henrietta had been bullied in River Town High School. "I'm fine," Angeline m
"Alright, got it!" Marion replied, setting down the data in her hands. She went up to the translucent glass and tapped on it. Angeline accurately dripped the reagent and called Gregory over to monitor it. Marion grabbed her by the arm once she exited the lab."Angie, a video was circulated at Cloudsville High School. Henrietta might not be able to handle it, so she disappeared. But apparently, she's not out of the school yet—Angie!"Before Marion could finish, Angeline immediately dashed out. She didn't even bother to remove her lab coat. "Alva! Go check on her!" Marion yelled at Alva, who had just entered, as she took off her coat hastily. Angeline's mind went blank. Did the video reach Cloudsville High School? Were Henrietta's classmates picking on her right now?She called Henrietta as she rushed over to Cloudsville High School. However, it went straight to voicemail. As she ran at full speed, the wind rushed past her, and her racing heartbeat echoed loudly in her ears.
