As soon as Judy left, Maya stepped foot into her house.“Uncle Zechariah, do you have bright red tree resin and pine rosin in your house?” Maya stood by the door and poked her head in. She asked Zechariah who was resting in the courtyard.Zechariah became anxious as soon as he heard the mention of these two herbs. “Who got injured in your family, Maya?”“I saved a wounded girl near my family’s herb garden, Uncle Zechariah. Mama said that her injuries are too serious and she needs bright red tree resin and pine rosin.”At lightning speed, Zechariah went inside the house to look for bright red tree resin and pine rosin. He asked Maya, “Do you know the little girl?”“No.”When Zechariah came out, there was a stern expression on his face that was full of vicissitudes. “Didn’t someone warn you not to take strangers in?”Maya smiled and said, “She’s just a child, Uncle. I can’t just leave her to die.”Zechariah felt like he needed to be vigilant as this matter happened during such a
“If you dare run off with Angeline, I’ll snap your legs,” Jay warned Josephine coldly.Zayne tried to help his wife. “Angeline has legs as well. If she wants to run, why are you snapping Josephine’s legs?”Josephine murmured in dissatisfaction, “That’s right.”Jay said, “If she hadn’t seduced Angeline, would Angeline elope with her?”Josephine had a shocked expression on her face. “You have to be partial, Big Brother. Why must I be the one who tricked Sis Angeline into eloping? It could be Sis Angeline who entrapped me instead.”Jay cast a gentle gaze toward Angeline and asked softly, “Are you willing to leave me all alone?”“That’ll depend on your performance.” Angeline gave him a playful smile.Jay’s expression turned dark. Had he ever mistreated her?Angeline’s eyes shifted from Jay’s icy face toward the courtyard path outside their door.She saw Judy holding onto a flask and walking over with a smile on her face.Angeline abruptly bounced off the sofa like an energetic bo
Zayne immediately uttered out his speculation, “Is there any link between Cole and Judy? Don’t try to change the subject and divert our attention from Judy’s love for you.”Angeline also noticed how far-fetched Jay’s explanation was and said in a fit of pique, “How do you plan to handle that little girl?”Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and patiently tried to coax her. “You know that I only have feelings for you.”Angeline smiled in relief.Meanwhile, Zayne wanted to spoil the harmony. “My sister is asking you how you’re going to deal with that little girl, yet you’re sugarcoating and trying to bluff your way out instead.”Angeline realized that she was fooled earlier and looked at Jay indignantly. “Hmph, you just skipped my question.”Jay knitted his eyebrows. He was a grown man now. No girl had ever dared to beg and cling to him before. The only other clingy person was actually his favorite Angeline. He never had the strength to refuse Angeline at all.How could he make Judy c
In the evening, Josephine and Zayne returned from Doomsday Hospital. Their complexions were ashen, and Josephine's eyes had turned scarlet.Jay raised his eyebrows and looked at the two. "What did the doctor say?"Josephine wailed. "The doctor says that my fallopian tubes are blocked and inflamed. I can’t give birth to a child."Angeline comforted her, saying, "Josie, that's curable."Josephine continued to cry as she said, "The doctor says that my condition is very complicated and difficult to treat. I'm not young anymore, so my body’s state will decline after a few years. Sob, sob, how will I give birth to a child, then?"Zayne's expression was gloomy. He was in a bad state of mind as well because of Josephine's condition.He adored children and yearned to have one of his own. However, in the end, the doctor's diagnosis shattered all his hopes and made him slightly obtuse.As a result, he ignored Josephine's emotions. Josie looked at Zayne who appeared dispirited. She took h
He glared fiercely at the culprit. “B*stard.”Then, he hurried over to the kitchen to coax his wife…“Get out, Josie,” Jay ordered.Josie’s eyes were red. “I’m not going anywhere.”Zayne walked in and pulled Josie out.Jay walked toward Angeline and admitted his mistake. “What’s the matter, Angeline?”Angeline brushed the pots and pans sonorously, clearly showing her anger.“I was wrong, Angeline.”Angeline looked at him. “Which part?”Jay stammered, “I shouldn’t have said that three children… are not a lot.”Angeline was enraged. “I’m not a baby machine.”“I know.” Jay took her hand out of the sink. He earnestly said, “Angeline, you’ve truly misunderstood me. Even if you’re able to conceive more, I wouldn’t allow you to suffer that way anymore.”Angeline deliberately provoked him and said, “If you want to, I can get pregnant again. Didn’t I get pregnant last time?”Jay’s complexion turned pale… Since Angeline’s womb had previously suffered injuries to it, it would be best
Zayne seemed to have realized something and walked to Josie. “Don’t be angry, Josie. I’ve thought things through and it doesn’t matter if we don’t have children. Instead, I’ll just raise you like my own daughter.”Josephine laughed wildly… and her belly full of anger dissipated.Zayne touched the back of his head and smirked.A woman’s brain was indeed a strange thing. One should never reason with them when they were angry. Using an absurd method to tease them would be the correct option.Josephine took Zayne’s hand and sincerely said, “I know you like children, Zayne. I’ll try my best with the doctor’s treatment. If we’re unable to conceive at the end, let’s go to the orphanage to adopt a child.”Zayne replied candidly, “We’ll go according to your plan.”Time went by calmly in the mountains.With such rare leisure time, Angeline took out some yarn from the bedroom. She said with a smile on her face, “Sis Shirley’s belly is starting to show, so I have to quickly prepare a couple
She knew better than to knit sweaters in front of these two men in the future.Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering thumping sound coming from the gates of Green Plum Town.Everyone in the living room was caught off guard, and their expressions turned to panic.“What’s happening?” Zayne asked nervously.“I’ll go take a look.” Baby Robbie was still somewhat calm.Baby Robbie jogged all the way to the front. When he opened the door, he saw Judy standing by the door in a panic. She was out of breath when she said, “I need to see Brother Jay.”Afterward, she tried to drill herself through the entrance.Baby Robbie had quick reflexes. His back was leaning against the door frame as he stretched his long leg toward the opposite edge to block Judy’s path. “What’s going on?” Baby Robbie was acting unruly at this moment, but he was still smiling warmly.Judy had no other option but to tell him the truth. She anxiously said, “My father has been poisoned. It’s by no means one of Doom
Judy’s initial impression of Baby Robbie was that he was so young and she had contemptuously looked down on him. Now that she knew how much knowledge Baby Robbie had, she showed admiration for him.“Do you know the solution for this poison?” Judy asked humbly.Baby Robbie shook his head. “The composition of this poison is complex, and it’s difficult to find all the formulas in a short time. Unless the one who poisoned him is found and we’re able to get the antidote, he won’t be able to recover.”Jay walked toward Zechariah and tried to communicate with him. “Uncle Zechariah, can you tell us who poisoned you?”Zechariah stared at him with a pair of bloodshot pupils. The white part of his eyes seemed to be covered with black tree branches. It was a terrifying sight.Perhaps due to his high martial arts skills or Zechariah’s strong willpower, he abruptly started speaking in an unclear manner.“Jay, take care of Judy for me.”Perhaps he knew that his time was coming to an end, so en
