Nicole then recalled Darlene's arrogant ultimatum on the phone.

"Go and accompany the one you should be with. Don't worry about me. I don't need your concern."

Having told Norman all that needed to be said, Nicole turned to leave, brushing past him. She wanted nothing more than to stay away from him.

Norman was frozen in place. He wanted to chase after her but couldn't bring himself to move. His feet were heavy as if weighed down by a ton.

When Nicole quickly headed toward the elevator, she suddenly felt the skin on her abdomen tightened inexplicably. The next second, bursts of dull pain overwhelmed her.

At this moment, the elevator door opened. An extravagantly dressed woman walked out, her perfume filling the air.

Nicole raised her head at the rich fragrance and was taken aback to see Darlene standing before her.

"Are you getting discharged from the hospital already? I was thinking of visiting you!" Darlene greeted hypocritically, casually shoving a bouquet to Nicole.

    Darlene had nothing to say when he brought this up. Her eyes darted around as her mind began to race, trying to come up with excuses. However, she quickly dismissed the thought.Anything she said now would only add fuel to Norman's anger. She was not foolish to do so.After a moment of silence, Darlene responded disapprovingly, "Are you done venting? Can I go now?"Norman knew she couldn't be reasoned with, and he didn't want to waste his breath on her anymore. Thus, he turned around and left.Watching his retreating back, Darlene bit her lip harshly.What a heartless man! She cursed in her heart, her eyes flickering cunningly.Norman was on his way back to the ward. But before he could open the door, he heard a muffled sound behind him.An ominous premonition suddenly crept into his mind. Whirling around, he found Darlene passed out on the floor."Doctor! Doctor!" Norman was at a loss.He rushed into the ward, causing the doctor to immediately stop examining Nicole upon learn

    Out of nowhere, Norman rushed to the bedside and dropped to his knees in front of Nicole. He grabbed her hand in a panic, saying, "Let me explain. I know myself well. Even though alcohol can make people lose control, I ...""That's enough! You don't need to explain anymore."Nicole didn't want to listen to his excuses, so she snatched her hand back and uttered indifferently, "From now on, there's nothing between us. I will raise my child on my own."Knowing that her statement was far from convincing to Norman, she immediately reached for the call button on the hospital bed.The nurse responded quickly to the call and soon entered the ward. Then, Nicole instructed her to escort Norman out.At the same time, Darlene was alone in the ward next door. She could hear the argument between Norman and the nurse coming from the corridor.Although she felt abandoned, she didn't feel as miserable and helpless.So what if Norman didn't want the baby? It didn't mean that Clarissa shared the s

    Norman saw Nicole leaving and hurried to catch up. "Nicole! I'm not trying to be clingy here! Just think about the baby, even if you're mad at me!"He pleaded, "Your health isn't completely stable yet. Just come back with me for a couple of days, and once everything's okay, you can go anywhere. I won't stop you, I promise!"Norman planned to take Nicole home first and use the time to figure out if Darlene's pregnancy had anything to do with him."Nice try with the sweet talk!" Nicole scoffed.Knowing Norman all too well, she figured that once she set foot in the villa, he'd come up with a bunch of reasons to keep her there."I can handle my pregnancy at my place. My parents are looking out for me, so you don't have to worry!" Nicole stood her ground, and it seemed like they were in a deadlock.Norman felt a bit defeated and close to tears. Nicole's stubbornness had him at a loss.She headed for the elevator, and Norman briefly considered giving up. But he decided to go after her

    Norman saw a chance and said, "Nicole, since nobody's home, why not stay at my place for a bit?"Worried she might say no, he kept explaining how risky it was to live alone, especially being pregnant and just out of the hospital.Nicole reluctantly gave in after nearly ten minutes of his persuasion."Fine, I'll stay at your place until my parents get back." She headed downstairs with a blank expression.At noon, Norman drove her back to his place.Clarissa was away at the hospital visiting her future daughter-in-law, making the atmosphere at the house less tense.Norman led Nicole to the bedroom, and he finally felt relieved."Now that you're here, we can help in taking care of you during your pregnancy," Norman said, hoping to persuade her to stay."You're overthinking. I'll stay for a maximum of three days," Nicole replied coolly."Three days it is!" Norman agreed quickly. He was afraid she might change her mind.And that was how Nicole ended up back at the Lorimer residenc

    Ashley felt powerless. She shot a fierce look at the journalist and spat out, "You're seriously the worst.""Thanks." The journalist pulled out Ashley's phone and recording device from her bag.He squinted at the recording device for a moment, then abruptly chucked it to the ground."What's your problem?" Ashley grumbled."Little miss celebrity, you're using a fake recording device, huh?" the journalist jeered.Ashley was puzzled. She'd picked up that recording device from a nearby store, thinking it was legit. She might have been tricked.Not only was the recording device toast but all the recordings and videos on her phone had been deleted, too.This trip was a total bust, and her cover was blown. Ashley couldn't stop cursing the journalist in her head."Alright, I reckon it's all wrapped up. If you ever need anything, you know where to find me." The journalist left with a satisfied air.Ashley slammed the table and downed her coffee in a single gulp. The bitter aftertaste c

She had a hunch that Jules' abductors were somehow well-connected.They passed the toll booth, but their smooth ride came to an abrupt halt shortly after.

    The chief of police dashed to the scene as soon as he got wind of the news. He spotted Yardley and quickly reached out for a handshake. "Mr. Hughes, what brings you here?"The nearby officers wore expressions of confusion as they observed the interaction."Chief Goggins, your officers said there were drugs in my car, so here we are."

Jules asked."Why bother asking if you've already figured it out? You were pretty cold-hearted before," Yardley said nonchalantly."Honestly, I kept my distance from her because I thought someone was trying to cause problems for me. I didn't want to involve her in the drama. I've realized now how much she means to me, and I regret pushing her away." Jules sighed.He lowered his head as he scrolled through an album of photos featuring him and Ashley.When Celia finally made her way downstairs, Yardley took off with her.While a few suspicions lingered regarding Ashley and Jules' relationship, it became evident that only a minority

    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?"

They came into view, laughing and holding each other's hands.This scene pained Sophie deeply."What are you doing here?" Morgan's cheerful expression faltered the moment she saw Sophie.Sophie could only put on a smile and say, "I brought all these for you. I was wrong to come between your relationship with my son."Richard glanced at the items on the ground. He could tell from a glance that they were meant for postpartum care and immediately understood why Sophie was there."Mom, you should be honest. You got the

    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?"

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
