With these thoughts in mind, Quinn couldn't contain her excitement. She would have to find a chance to ask Lillian about what had happened in the past.

Yardley announced solemnly, "Alright, that concludes today's events. Celia and I will hold our engagement ceremony next month. The exact date will be announced later."

He took Celia's hand, and they left together.

Celia walked hand in hand with Yardley, their fingers interlocked. When she felt the warmth of his palm in her hand, her heart was warmed too.

In the parking lot outside the hotel, Yardley opened the car door for Celia in a gentlemanly manner. In his husky voice, he said, "Get in."

"Alright, thank you," Celia replied as she took the passenger seat.

She leaned back slightly and rested against the seat. After the hectic events of the evening, she felt tired and just wanted to go home and rest.

"Can you take me back home?" Celia turned her head to look at Yardley.

Yardley chuckled softly. "Where do you want to go? I've a

    "Okay."

    Nicole kept her head down and avoided their gazes. She said wearily, "I'm worried about Norman, so ..."Clarissa ignored her and went straight to Norman's bedside. She gazed at him with concern and touched his forehead.Whenever she thought about her lively and healthy son lying in this state because of this woman in front of her, she couldn't contain her anger."Are you happy that Norman is in this state now?" Clarissa questioned accusatorily."I'm not happy about this either, Clarissa. Norman had an accident. I ..." Nicole felt very sad.Of course, she didn't want anything bad to happen to Norman. She was affected more than anybody else when it came to his accident."Would he have gotten into an accident if it hadn't been for you? The truth is laid bare before us. Why are you still trying to deny it?"Get out right now! I don't want to see you," Clarissa bellowed.Tears welled up in Nicole's eyes. "I want to stay here and keep Norman company.

    When they arrived at the hospital, Celia quickly helped Nicole out of the car. "Do you still feel dizzy and nauseous? Close your eyes, and don't look around. It might make you feel better."Nicole followed her instructions and closed her eyes, completely relying on Celia to lead the way.In fact, Celia had made that up. She wanted to ensure that Nicole didn't realize she was being taken to the same hospital as Norman.Celia had already reserved an emergency appointment online while they had been on the road, so they went straight to the outpatient department of the maternity ward.Another pregnant woman was waiting for her turn in the outpatient department. Celia helped Nicole sit down."Doctor, I'm bleeding. Could it be ...""Don't worry. This is a normal phenomenon. I've seen cases of pregnant women having spotting for up to six months."Voices from the patients and the doctor inside the room could be faintly heard."Nicole, listen.

    "Can't even bear a child properly …" Clarissa muttered to herself as she returned to the hospital room. She sat beside Norman, tucked his blanket around him, and glanced at the heart monitor. The monitor showed a regular heart rhythm."What did the doctor say when they came in just now?" "They said his condition is stable, but compared to the last few days, there's no improvement," Nicholas answered while glancing at Norman's medical records.Clarissa gripped Norman's hand with concern. "Norman hasn't eaten for several days. He only got nutrition infusions. Look at how much weight he's lost."She turned to look at the coffee table in the room, which was empty. She checked the cabinet, but there were only two pieces of clothing in there."Why isn't there any fruit here?""Are you hungry because you didn't have any breakfast?" Nicholas inquired."I didn't have breakfast because I was in a hurry to come here and see Norman," Clarissa responded, turning to find Nicholas sitting t

    Clarissa glanced at Celia and then at Nicole. "Norman needs you. The doctor is in the middle of giving him emergency treatment. You know he cares about you. You being around would help his recovery.""What's wrong with Norman? Why is he getting emergency treatment? I'll go over right now!"Upon hearing about Norman's situation, Nicole wanted to remove the IV needle and rush over instantly. However, Celia held her back."What are you doing? Didn't you hear what the doctor said? When will you start caring about yourself?" Celia asked."But Celia, Norman is …""Are you a doctor? Will his condition improve if you go there?" Celia questioned.Celia calmed Nicole down with her sensible words. She knew how worried Nicole was, so she continued to comfort her."I know you're worried, but what can you do now besides worrying?

    "Pfft!" Celia chuckled and replied, "The apple peel broke off. I'm fine."Yardley stared at Celia, feeling speechless."Then why did you shout? You made me worry for no reason." He dropped Celia's hand and went back to work.He was obviously mad. Celia was laughing at him and making fun of his feelings. Anyone in his shoes would feel upset."Yardley?"

Celia was making jokes despite his genuine concern.Celia looked at him and chuckled again. "Why does it seem like you're throwing a child's tantrum now?""I'm not playing with you anymore. I just remembered something I have to deal with at the office. Come with me," Celia said.Upon not receiving a response, Celia continued, "Why are you ignoring me?

    She nervously gripped the hem of her dress, her petite frame trembling slightly.The scene remained at a standstill, and then they heard Parker's cold voice. "Director, I'll use a stand-in for this kissing scene."Morgan instantly stiffened, her carefully composed emotions shattering.Her eyes glistened with tears. Was he disgusted with her?"Well ..." The director hesitated as he looked at Parker, feeling torn. "Parker, this scene requires a lot of emotional subtlety. We need a genuine kiss to make the scene resonate with the audience. Using a stand-in won't achieve the same effect."Despite that, Parker insisted on his request.Everyone present was puzzled. Parker was a renowned movie star, and filming kissing scenes was routine for him. Why was it a problem this time?Could it be that Morgan had done something to make Parker dislike her? Was that why the famous actor couldn't bring himself to act out this scene?Morgan was sensitive and noticed everyone's glances. Her hear

    In fact, Yardley didn't tell anyone. … Meanwhile, Morgan stumbled upon a surprising find. She discovered two healthy, month-old babies at the orphanage. "Director, is it true that no one wants such young babies?" Morgan felt a bit emotional. How could people be so heartless as to abandon their own babies? The director of the orphanage let out a deep sigh. "You don't know the whole story. Our janitor found these babies at the orphanage's entrance. Someone left them there and disappeared. "We've been taking care of them for about half a month now, and their condition has improved significantly." Looking at the adorable babies, Morgan couldn't shake the feeling that they belonged to Celia. "I'm here on behalf of Yardley Hughes else to adopt these children, but..." Morgan expressed her concerns. Morgan anticipated the orphanage director's refusal. To her surprise, he actually agreed. "The opportunity for these two babies to have some good days is preferable to nothing.

    "Let's go, Celia. We shouldn't disturb the twins' rest," said Yardley as he supported Celia and got ready to leave. Celia waved her hand and stood in front of the incubator. Even with the glass barrier, she could still discern the condition of her children. She reached out to touch them, as if her touch could make them feel her presence. She resolved to take her children home safely. Celia lingered for a while before finally leaving the hospital. Once they were home, Celia locked herself in her room, disregarding any attempts anyone made to talk to her. Yardley headed to the company to attend to some matters, while the housekeepers remained at home. Meanwhile, Morgan couldn't shake her concern for Celia, so she came to visit her. Upon entering, she heard the housekeepers upstairs calling out, "Mrs. Hughes, are you feeling better? Come out and have some soup!" However, there was no response from inside. "What's going on?"

    Otto didn't back down and insisted on his right to see his grandchildren. However, Yardley paid him no mind. He shook his head and said, "Celia needs rest. Please come back another day."The next second, he instructed the housekeepers to close the door and left Otto standing outside. Otto stomped his walking cane on the ground in frustration but had no choice but to leave.As Yardley made his way back inside the villa, he thought of another troubling matter.Although they had brought their children home, the twins had been weak because they had been born prematurely. They had appointed a family doctor to treat the twins but hadn't seen much improvement in their health. Yardley sanitized himself before he went into the nursery. He felt pained when he heard the twins' weak breaths."Mr. Hughes." The family doctor spoke up with a frown, indicating that the situation was far from ideal."The baby girl has been slowly recovering, but the boy remains very weak. I don't think the n

    "Don't worry. She's fine. She's just a bit weak at the moment."Remembering Yardley's words outside the ward, the doctor felt a wave of nervousness. He could tell that Yardley and Celia weren't ordinary people judging by their attire. They were certainly not ones to be trifled with."Did you say that we had twins?" Yardley turned to ask the nurse after learning that Celia was alright."Yes, sir." The nurse chuckled inwardly. She found that, despite Yardley's intimidating appearance, he was a very devoted husband.Soon, Celia was moved out of the operating room and into a VIP ward.Yardley gently wiped the sweat from Celia's face again. He took in her pale complexion; it was a sign of how much she had suffered."How's Celia?"Sounds of hurried footsteps came from outside. Ashley and the others had come over. Yardley turned and signaled them to leave.Celia had just given birth, so she needed a quiet environment to rest. Having too many visitors might affect her recovery.Ever

    "How could you hit me because of her? I'm the mother of your child!" Sophie shrieked.She had never suffered such humiliation. She had been showered with love from a young age and wasn't accustomed to such harsh treatment. So, she became agitated and emotional."Isn't it all because of you that things turned out this way? Would such a thing have happened to our company? Would Richard suddenly want to break all ties with us? It's all because of your reckless behavior!" Chester vented years of suppressed grievances and dissatisfaction as if it would make him feel better.Celia watched as Chester and Sophie argued fiercely. She stepped forward to stop them, especially since there were many people outside watching the spectacle."Stop fighting. This isn't the time or the place for arguments!"Sophie went at Chester and started hitting him. Celia tried to break up their fight, but Sophie pushed her. Celia took a few steps back at that. She didn't attempt to intervene anymore."It's

    "Mrs. Black, we'd intended to negotiate amicably with you and achieve a satisfactory outcome for both parties. "The decision to move out was mine, and I asked Celia to come over and help me out. If you're unwilling to be decent and compromise, then let's end things between our families here."Morgan felt relieved after expressing her thoughts. It was like a significant weight had been lifted off her shoulders. "What do you mean?" Richard panicked. Just when their relationship had slightly improved, the situation took a turn for the worse again."We're breaking up for good!"Morgan left after saying that. Jessica and Darby left with her, leaving the Blacks behind."This is all your doing! Look what you've done! How many times have I told you not to be so assertive and bossy? Why don't you ever consider my feelings?" Richard punched the couch angrily, his heart filled with bitterness.Sophie hadn't wanted things to turn out this way either, but she had been too angry and spoke

    "It's fine. You two can go if you have something else to attend to," Jessica said.Soon, Celia arrived at the Blacks' residence with Jessica and Darby.Sophie opened the door and was surprised to see Celia standing at the doorstep with Jessica and Darby. She couldn't understand what Celia was up to.Once they were inside, Celia didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly. "I think you might be having some misunderstandings about Morgan."Sophie smiled without saying anything."Don't you think you're interfering too much in Morgan's personal life?" Celia questioned.Upon hearing this, Sophie realized why they were there. Having discussed the issue with Chester, Sophie had finally agreed not to interfere in Richard's and Morgan's lives.So, she didn't object to Celia's words. She even agreed with Celia, much to the latter's surprise.Under normal circumstances, Sophie would have argued with her. Why was she being so agreeable this time?"How about you sign a writ

    After saying that, Celia hung up.On the other end, Quinn felt very displeased. After all, it was her party, and she had personally called Celia to invite her. Quinn felt that Celia had snubbed her by refusing to attend.Quinn thought about it for a moment. If Celia didn't come, Yardley probably wouldn't either. If both of them didn't show up, it would be embarrassing for Quinn.So, she decided to go and find Celia.…Morgan was taking refuge at Celia's place, so she answered the door when Quinn came over."I'm here to see Celia."Celia had instructed Morgan to turn away anyone she didn't recognize, no matter who it was.
