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
Chris smiled. "Okay, but I have plans tonight. How about another day?" Harry smiled."Okay." Shannon nodded.Harry added Shannon on WhatsApp and then said goodbye to everyone before leaving.Madam Jacobs came over after she had lunch, but Chris, Laura and Shannon didn't have anything to eat yet.Laura and Chris went to make lunch whilst Shannon kept Madam Jacobs company.After lunch, Madam Jacobs didn't stay to disturb Laura and Shannon and was prepared to head home.Madam Jacob would have a driver and some bodyguards of the Jacobs family with her every time she headed out, but sometimes she liked to take a walk alone. After all, no one liked to be followed all the time.She didn't have anything to do today, so she asked the driver and bodyguards to head back first. She planned on going to a shopping center alone and buying some wool to knit some gloves and scarves for her future great-grandchild.Madam Jacobs looked forward to having great grandchildren.After she had finishe
