Chris's face didn't change, but Laura could see that his hand which hung beside her trembled slightly.He then said, "The police are here, are you going to use violence?""Use violence? I want to kill this ruthless bitch! Helen isn't really a teenager or a woman in her early 20s. She's now finally pregnant with my child, but what does this woman go and do? She actually insulted Helen and caused her to fall. Helen was in the operating room for a really long time before the child could be saved. However, the doctor said that she would need to stay in bed for a month. Any movement could cause her to have a miscarriage! All of this is caused by this ruthless woman!"Laura widened her eyes a little.She was present and saw everything. It was Helen who wanted to stop Sandra and fell over by herself. Sandra didn't say anything to insult Helen.Laura looked at Sandra and realized that Sandra had no intention of speaking up for herself even though she was blamed for something she didn't do
Sandra left without turning back and Lewis stood where he was."Mom, why are you still slapping me? I'm already a father and you're still slapping me!"Lewis had been beaten by Madam Jacobs quite a lot since he was little."If you'd use your brain more and grow up, I wouldn't have to hit you!" Madam Jacobs took a deep breath.No one liked to hit their own children. Madam Jacobs' heart would ache every time she hit Lewis as well."Laura, Chris, let's go."If it weren't for the fact that Sandra was involved in this matter, Madam Jacobs wouldn't have come.Chris nodded and left the ward with Laura and Madam Jacobs.Looking at their receding figures, Helen lay on the bed with eyes full of hatred.She felt that she couldn't just sit back and do nothing anymore. She would need to take action.Lewis walked to the side of the bed feeling downhearted. He reached out to hold Helen's hand. His heart ached and he felt very guilty. "I'm sorry, Helen. I wasn't able to protect you. I didn't
Laura had only seen Sandra twice. The first time was at the cemetery and today was the second time.She had only met Sandra twice, but she could tell what kind of person Sandra was.Sandra would have a cold and indifferent attitude towards everything, but she was actually a very passionate person."Maybe... she had her reasons for her actions back then."Chris chuckled. "It's all in the past anyway. I'm old enough to be a father as well, so there's no need to make a fuss about insignificant things in the past."When Chris said that he was old enough to be a father as well, he kept his eyes on Laura. Laura felt a little embarrassed by his gaze.She coughed softly to disguise the awkward look on her face.Seeing Laura cough, Chris frowned. "Are you feeling a little cold? Let's head back."It was quite cold at night by the river. Especially during the winter.Laura nodded and headed towards the side of the road with Chris."If there's anything on your mind in the future, you can
The person walked out again after doing all those things.Laura wanted to open her eyes to see who it was, but her eyes wouldn't open.On the morning of the next day, Laura massaged her temples after she got out of bed. She dreamed of someone tucking her in at first, but somehow, the scene turned to her becoming pregnant and the child belonged to Chris.Chris was also saying excitedly in her dream that he was going to be a father.Laura was at a loss for words about her dream.She felt that Chris must have cast a spell on her.After getting out of bed, Laura saw that Chris was actually wearing an apron and was cooking."What are you doing?" Laura could feel that her voice was full of shock.Although Chris would come and help out when she cooked, Laura still knew that Chris didn't know how to cook.However, there he was, standing there with an apron on and was actually cooking..."What are you making?" Laura couldn't help but walk forward and look at what was in the pan.Ther
After coming out of the ultrasound room, Shannon went to find the doctor with her results. The doctor looked at Shannon's results and said, "There doesn't seem to be a problem. All you need to do is to get some rest and sleep early. You just seem a little worn out, that's all."Shannon nodded in acknowledgement after hearing the doctor's words. She had indeed been staying up quite late recently.She would always think of what happened that night every time she closed her eyes every night.Shannon still couldn't believe that she kissed Harry that night. It was her first kiss and it was her who forced the kiss.The two of them just kissed and didn't do anything else, but what happened that night still affected Shannon.When Shannon walked out of the hospital, she took a taxi and headed straight to the convenience store.Laura was tidying the shelves when she saw Shannon. She then asked, "How are you feeling?"Shannon showed the report to Laura and said, "The doctor said that I'm j
"What do you mean?" Shannon didn't understand what Harry was talking about.From what she could remember from that night, after she kissed Harry, she fell asleep in his arms.When she woke up, it was already the morning of the next day. She was the first to wake up.Shannon was a little startled when she woke up and ran away without even waiting for Harry to wake up.She wondered if Harry was blaming her for leaving without saying goodbye.However, under the circumstances of that day, she was too embarrassed to stay."Ahem." Shannon coughed softly and said, "I don't remember what happened. Ahem... We're both adults, so let bygones be bygones. If you want, you can pretend that nothing happened.""What are you trying to say? How can I just let bygones be bygones?" Harry walked closer to Shannon.The expression on his face wasn't really pleasant.He felt that the child was his, how could he pretend that nothing had happened? He wasn't going to just leave his child with Shannon an
Inside the lounge. Neither Harry nor Shannon was backing down. One insisted on getting married and the other refused.Harry's face was dark, but he knew this was not something he could force. All he could do was think of other ways.However, he had no idea what he could do. He planned on asking Madam Jacobs for help.When Harry walked out of the lounge, Madam Jacobs had already arrived.She rushed over as soon as she could after receiving Chris's text. She had a big smile on her face."How come you're here, Grandma? I was just about to go to your house." Harry was slightly taken aback. He then realized that Chris was present as well. "Chris, you're here as well?"Madam Jacobs coughed softly. "Well, I felt bored, so I thought I'd come find Laura. Why are you here? Why did you come out from the lounge?"Madam Jacobs was asking an obvious question.Harry gritted his teeth and said, "Grandma, I want to marry Shannon. Please can you give me some suggestions?"As soon as Harry said
Laura walked up to Shannon and sat down beside her. “I’ve realized that there’s something going between you and Harry a few days ago.”She could guess Madam Jacobs’ arrival was because she told Chris about what was going on between Shannon and Harry and Chris told Madam Jacobs about it.“It’s fine, Miss Walker. I know you could tell.” Shannon took the piece of tissue that Laura had passed to her and wiped her nose. “You’re a family, so it’s normal for you to care about each other. It was just that Harry was way too stubborn and impulsive. I’ve already told him clearly in the lounge that I won’t marry him. I only want to marry someone who loves me and not just because he wants to be responsible. I don’t need him to be responsible. I also hope that he could marry someone he likes and be happy. I felt that I’ve been very clear, but he still didn’t listen.”Shannon told Laura about what happened between her and Harry. After listening to the whole story, Laura’s first reaction was to ask
The two children attracted Laura's attention and she just watched them play.The two children looked a little alike. The boy was obviously a little older than the girl. They were most likely brother and sister.The little girl noticed Laura's gaze, so she walked up to her. "Are you looking at us?"The little boy noticed his sister standing in front of two strangers. He then rushed over and stood between the girl, and Laura and Chris with an alarming look on his face."Don't worry. We won't hurt you." Laura squatted down so that she was the same height as the two children."I think I know what she wants, Owen," the little girl suddenly said with a serious face."What does she want?" The little boy's face softened when he looked at the little girl."She's looking at us, so she must be wanting to play with us!" the girl said innocently and then looked at Laura. "Am I right?"Laura squatted down and pinched the girl's face with a smile. "Yes, you are! I love children who are cute l
"Harry and I are planning to go to the beach after this, do you want to come with us?" Shannon asked Laura.After giving it some thought, Laura nodded. "Sure!"The three of them waited for about a quarter of an hour after the meal before Chris came to pick them up."Have you finished?" Chris was asking everyone but his eyes were fixed on Laura."Yes, we have. I have to admit, the food here is actually quite nice," said Harry.He seemed to not have had enough as he placed some more food in his mouth."Do you want some more? We're in no rush anyway."Laura was worried that Harry didn't have enough to eat."No, I'm full. Let's head to the beach." The thought of going to the beach and enjoying the night view with Shannon made Harry very excited."What beach?" asked Chris. He was a little puzzled."Shannon just said that they were going to the beach and asked me if I wanted to join them. It felt like a good idea to me so I agreed. Do you want to come as well?" Laura turned to look
Lucas and Dawn waited for a while but their food still wasn't served."What's taking them so long?" mumbled Dawn."They're probably busy. We don't have any other plans tonight, there's no rush."Lucas picked up his phone and began playing a game. At the same time, he poured a glass of water for Dawn. "Here, have some water., it'll ease the hunger"Dawn was rendered speechless.She picked up the glass, took a sip of water, and then began looking around. That was when she noticed a table of a man and two women receiving their food as soon as they sat down.Seeing that, Dawn shouted, "Waitress!"A girl in her early 20s quickly walked over to her. "How may I help?""When will our food be served? We've already been waiting for a long time." Dawn was a little dissatisfied."I'm sorry, Miss. The kitchen is already preparing your dishes and the food will be served very soon," the waitress said apologetically."What do you mean by that? We've already been waiting for ages. Not only th
"Mr. Summers, Mr. Scholfield is waiting for you in the meeting room.""Okay."Nathan tidied his desk, picked up a file and headed towards the meeting room.As soon as he walked in, he saw Lucas sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed.Lucas had a lazy temperament and his lips were curved into a mischievous smile. He looked at his watch and said, "Mr. Summers, you're three minutes late."Nathan was used to Lucas's behavior, so he just looked at Lucas indifferently. "Here's the contract. Check to see if you have any problems with it."Lucas sat up, took the contract, and flicked through it casually. "Where's the pen?""Aren't you going to read it more carefully?""I don't think that Mr. Summers is going to trick me, right?" asked Lucas. His voice was casual and his hand was getting ready to hold a pen.Nathan smiled, took out a pen from a drawer, and signed his name on the contract before passing it to Lucas.Lucas held the pen tightly in his hand as he signed his name on the
Nathan waited in the police station with Amelia.About an hour later, two police officers brought a man in black and wearing a baseball cap in front of the two of them.There were wounds on his face as well. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.One of the officers passed a delicate purse to Amelia. "Miss Summers, is this your purse?"Amelia's eyes lit up. "Yes, that's the purse I lost.""This is the person who stole your purse, Miss Summers. What do you want us to do with him?" the other officer pointed at the man and asked.After giving it some thought, Amelia said, "I've just checked my purse and nothing's missing. I'll let him off this time.""Looks like you're in luck. Quick, thank Miss Summers for her kindness.""Thank you so much, Miss Summers!""Alright, just try not to steal things in the future. You can leave now." Amelia waved her hand.After the man in black was released, Amelia and Nathan headed back home as well.Amelia then sent a text to the man in black
"Get someone to find out why Amelia went to the police station today." Nathan gave the order."Yes, Mr. Summers. I'll get right on it." Dominic nodded and went out of the room.After giving it some thought, Nathan still felt that he should head to the police station in person to ask Amelia what she was doing.When Nathan arrived at the police station, Amelia had just finished talking to Jack."Amelia!" Nathan called out.Amelia stopped walking and turned around. She then looked at Nathan with a face full of surprise."Nathan, what are you doing here?" Amelia smiled and walked over to Nathan."I came to check if Jack had said anything else. I've also heard that you came to the police station instead of to work, so I thought I'd come to give you a lift on the way back."Amelia nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll head back home with you once I've found my purse.""What purse?" Nathan felt a little puzzled."I was going out with a few friends, but I lost my purse on my way. There we
"Please take a seat, Miss Summers. We've already sent men to look for your purse. We'll find it soon." One of the officers put on a big smile and tried to please Amelia when he found out that she was the daughter of the Summers family.Amelia just nodded and then went to sit on the chair.A while later Amelia asked the officer that just spoke to her, "I'm a little bored. Can I take a look around?""Sure! I can...""There's no need. I want to take a look around by myself. Notify me when you find my purse."With that said, Amelia left the reception room and began walking around the police station.She didn't get far before she saw Jack."I need to speak to Jack," Amelia said to the guard outside the cell."I'm sorry, Miss Summers. Mr. Summers gave us specific orders to keep an eye on him and not let anyone visit him."The guard stopped Amelia. His attitude was respectful, but wasn't letting her anywhere near Jack."Do you not know who I am?" Amelia became a little angry. She co
After losing her memories, Mrs. Summers couldn't remember anything. She didn't want to dwell on this matter since it was in the past.However, Alex wasn't going to let Nancy off that easily. "She must be punished. Otherwise, who knows what she would do next time!"Nancy had become more and more arrogant. Alex felt that if he didn't teach her a lesson now, she would do something even worse.After hearing Alex's words, Mrs. Summers still didn't want to punish Nancy. "She's our child after all. We shouldn't criticize her too much. Everyone makes mistakes, right? Let her off this once for me."Nancy kept nodding her head after hearing Mrs. Summers' words. "Dad, I'm so sorry. I promise there won't be a next time. Please forgive me just this once."Seeing that Mrs. Summers was asking him to let Nancy off, Alex had no choice but to say, "Since your mom has forgiven you, then I'll let you off this once. But if there's a next time, I'll kick you out of the Summers family myself!"Nancy qu
Seeing the look on Nancy's face, Alex knew that she knew about the glass of water. His face immediately paled.Amelia quickly walked forward. "Dad, Nancy was just a little thoughtless, I think she didn't mean any harm."Her words made Alex even more infuriated. "She was thoughtless? Was that the reason to add sleeping pills to the water?"If it weren't for that glass of water, Alex wouldn't have been in a deep slumber and the things that followed wouldn't have happened.Nancy began shaking in fear. That was because she did add sleeping pills to the glass of water.She was planning on getting Chris to drink the water and then she would get someone to bring Chris to her room when he was asleep.That way, Chris would have to be responsible for her under the pressure of the Summers family.However, what Nancy didn't expect was that Alex drank the water instead of Chris.Amelia wasn't worried that Nancy would sell her out. That was because drugging Chris wasn't something appropriate
