”What?Boye said, "I had decided to leave Cloud City with my husband and we both already changed our phone numbers. Angeline called us, and maybe it’s because she couldn’t get through so she came to Cloud City to find us. She had quite a fright, that’s why she’s now suffering from recurring somatization disorder…”“She went to your villa? What’s that supposed to mean?" Jay asked in trepidation.“Her muscles are abnormally tense, and her fingers are so stiff they’re like claws. She’s paralyzed. When she saw me, she merely said two words: save Jaybie.”When Jay heard what she said, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Jenson, who was dumbfounded by the fact that his mother was severely ill, snapped back to his senses when his father spat out blood.“Daddy.”Boye did not poke fun at Jay anymore. She said earnestly, “JJ, you should take good care of yourself for Angeline’s sake. Go back to bed and lie down. Cooperate with me and receive your treatment.”There were blood and tears flowi
After hearing what Boye and the old man said, Jenson left in silence.He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the moonlight outside in silence. He was pondering the words Great-grandma just said.Based on his understanding of Daddy, his self-blame might turn into violence and bloodshed.Among Judy, Chloe, and Sandra, someone had to pay for Mommy’s illness.As for the people who defended these wicked women, they too might suffer from an undeserved calamity.Daddy would never allow anyone to take advantage of his tolerance to hurt his beloved wife.This time, Daddy would surely make the decision to beat the dog before the lion.Jenson sighed inwardly.Early the next morning, luxury cars flooded Carefree Garden.The three families—the Areses, Yorks, and Severes—as well as Grand Asia’s team of specialists had come to Carefree Garden to visit Jay.When Boye heard the car horn, she walked to the side of the window. Upon seeing the luxury cars, she frowned almost
Grand Old Master Ares said, “Jens, all your father’s hopes are dashed. Your mother is just avoiding him and doesn’t want to see him for now, but she’ll come back one day. If she learns that your father has died innocent and was grievously wronged just because she misunderstood him, wouldn’t she live with regrets for the rest of her life too? I’m sure you don’t want to see them—”Jenson cut Grand Old Master Ares off straight away, “Great-grandpa, so you also think that my mother will abandon my father?”Grand Old Master Ares said, “Under normal circumstances, she won’t. But things were different that day. Your mother saw something she shouldn’t have seen and was momentarily exasperated. That’s why it’s understandable why she ran away from home.”Jenson took two steps forward and said, “Great-grandpa, you know better than anyone how much my mother loves my father. Even if my mother misunderstood my father, she won’t abandon him when his life is hanging by a thread.”Grand Old Master
Chloe's heart sank abruptly.She had lost her son as well as her husband.Jordan could not forgive her for hurting Jay.Grand Old Master Yorks turned around and got in the car.Like an abandoned dog, no one wanted to entertain Chloe.Only Judy and Sandra, who have also been pushed aside like grasshoppers tied to the same rope, still hoped that Chloe would help them make a breakthrough. They continued to serve Chloe carefully.“Let’s go, Chloe,” Sandra said bitterly, “No one will care whether you live or die if you stay here. Right now, all you can do is pester them and beg for their forgiveness.”Chloe looked desolated. She was in an extremely awkward state at the moment. The Areses and Severes regarded her as their enemy. Even Grand Old Master Yorks, the one who loved her the most, refused to talk to her right now.They all treated her as an outsider. If she did not pester and follow them, she would no longer be a member of this family.Chloe slowly got up and walked toward G
Boye smiled and said, "How are you feeling today?""I’ve recovered," Jay replied stiffly.Boye said, “How could you have recovered so quickly? You need to undergo treatment for at least half a month more. Thank God I came earlier so your treatment didn’t get delayed. If I came late and things spiraled out of control, then it’s only going to spell trouble.”Jay said, "Aren't you a genius doctor? Why are you afraid of trouble?”Boye snapped. “You’re making things difficult for me on purpose, are you? Listen up, JJ. Grandma is old now and I will die at any time. You’d better take care of yourself in the future. Think about Angeline. She’ll only be healthy when you’re healthy.”Jay fell silent.He thought of Angeline and her recurring somatization disorder. Her heart was so fragile and her body was so weak. What would happen to her if he was not around to take care of her?“Okay,” he muttered.Boye’s features eased up and then she said with a smile, “You want to see Angeline, right
Angeline was in poor health, though.How long more would Jay need to keep being worried about her?Boye was afraid that Jay would go too deep into his emotions and end up shortening his lifespan because of that.However, Boye was different from Chloe. Chloe was probably afraid that Angeline's weak and ill physique would drag Jay down, so she deliberately tried to separate them. However, that only made Angeline and Jay's health deteriorate further.Boye would not take her anger out on Angeline because she knew that there was no other woman in this world who loved Jay more than Angeline. In fact, Jay was also the reason why Angeline was ill. If there had not been so many ups and downs in Angeline’s life that were triggered by Jay, things would not have gotten so serious either."When will Angeline wake up, Grandma?" Jay asked suddenly.Boye looked as though she was asked a very difficult question… After a long time, she said somewhat perfunctorily, “She’s doing much better than the
When Chloe saw Jordan walking toward her, she thought that Jordan was no longer mad at her and was finally willing to talk to her.Who would have thought, however, that Jordan would throw a document at her the moment he walked up to her. He said indifferently, “Chloe Yorks, this is our divorce agreement. Take a look, and if you have no objections, then put down your signature.”Chloe instantly went berserk, shoving the divorce agreement back to Jordan. She took his hand, begging bitterly, “I don’t want to divorce, Jordan. I don’t want to divorce.”Jordan pulled Chloe’s hand away and looked at her hideous face, saying purposefully, "Chloe Yorks, I fell in love with you without a single hesitation back then because of your beauty. Now, I will leave you without a single hesitation because of your ugliness.“Just look at yourself. Not only do you have an ugly face, but you also have an ugly heart. I don't know what reason I have anymore to love a woman who’s ugly both inside and out.”
Jordan sneered, “That’s just a lie I’ve been telling myself all these years.”Jordan turned around and left in a desolate state.Chloe fell to the ground, wailing her heart out.“Argh, how did things turn out this way?!”Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Chloe with a stabbing pain in his heart.Spencer, Sandra, Judy, and Cole had gathered around. All of them were staring at her, unsmiling and without a word.In the end, it was Cole who broke the stifling atmosphere.“Aunt Chloe, there’s a philosophical saying that goes like this, ‘your character determines your destiny. Your tough life is determined by your character.’ In a nutshell, you can only blame yourself for the things that have happened to you today.”Chloe stared at Cole, finding it impossible to refute the things he said.Sandra carefully spoke on Chloe’s behalf, “Cole, your aunt knows she was wrong. Stop adding insult to her injury.”Cole looked at Sandra as a wicked sneer formed on his dashing face. “Alright, she k
