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
Green Plum Town.Angeline stood on the road in front of Green Plum Town, eagerly looking into the distance with an anxious expression.“Why hasn’t your daddy returned, Baby Zetty?”Baby Zetty sighed sorrowfully. “Yeah, it’s getting dark out. Doesn’t Daddy know that we’ll get worried about him?”Angeline was utterly anxious. “He returned late a couple of days ago and I already gave him a small punishment for it. He should’ve learned his lesson already. I wonder if he’s caught up in something since he’s late again today.”Zayne tightened his lips into a fine line. “I don’t think he’s caught up by something important, but more like someone important.”Zayne was relentless when it came to belittling Jay.He deliberately raised Judy’s position in Jay’s heart by several steps.Women were always suspicious beings, so Angeline was immediately enraged upon hearing it. “This is no good. I’m heading out to see what’s keeping him.” Afterward, Angeline dragged herself toward the mountain.
“Uncle Zechariah is saved!” The stronghold’s villagers applauded.Cole and Carson looked at each other, and Carson asked in surprise, “Could it be a genius doctor?”When Zayne supported Angeline to the guest room, Cole looked a little confused when he saw them. “Do you guys have a way to save Uncle Zechariah?”Zayne smiled awkwardly. “No. But if I didn’t say that, there’s no way we could get in.”Carson’s face turned gloomy as he muttered in a low voice, “I want to choke him to death.”Cole whispered, “I agree, but you’ll have to do it behind Angeline’s back.”When Angeline entered the guest room, she did not see Jay nor Baby Robbie. A sense of loss appeared on her face. When she saw Zechariah lying on the couch, her face instantly sank. Angeline was even more frightened and pale.Cole saw the panic across Angeline’s face and knew that she was in poor health, so he did not want her to suffer from shock. Then, he said with a gloomy expression, “Send them out.”Angeline walked to
His falcon gaze scanned the area as his ears listened to the most abnormal noise. Angeline’s safety fiddled with the most nervous chord in Jay’s heart at this moment.Zayne thought about how he and Angeline made a long and challenging journey to look for Jay with much trouble. Meanwhile, Jay was taking a stroll with beauty. He could not contain his anger and said, “Angeline trusted you, and you’re here taking a walk with Judy under the moonlight?”Jay looked at Angeline guiltily, yet he did not make any sudden movements and just quietly stood there.Angeline, who was unclear of the situation, merely thought he was standing still because of his guilty conscience.All of Angeline’s worry turned into resentment within seconds. She was thoroughly enraged.Judy acted like a rooster that had just won a battle and reached out to hold Jay’s hand as she provocatively looked at Angeline.Jay pushed Judy’s hand away and was about to lift his foot to stride toward Angeline.Suddenly, a cold
