Lorraine smiled wryly. "This is my comeuppance, Elle."

Lorraine needed to be hospitalized, so Noelle took care of the admission procedures and stayed at the hospital to look after her.

Xyla's ward was next door. Quentin had been in there all day. The two of them hadn't seen each other since their meeting at noon.

He sent her a message to let her know that Xyla was out of danger and that he would stay a little longer before returning home. He also told her not to worry.

Noelle read the message and didn't know how to feel, so she didn't respond. An hour later, she went to get some water and ran into Quentin. Perhaps because he had donated blood to Xyla, his complexion was pallid.

"Elle…" As soon as he noticed her, he walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Let's not have children in the future, Elle. Let's be DINKs for life."

Xyla's condition had genuinely shaken him up. Even though she was having an abortion, he was still afraid—afraid that something would go wrong when No

    Xyla was gasping for breath. "Let go… You old hag…"Ava rushed over and pried Amy's hands off Xyla. "Let her go, you crazy wench!"Amy, being older, was no match for Ava, who managed to pry her hands off and push her out of the hospital room. "Sooner or later, you'll get what's coming to you!" she yelled as she stumbled and fell. When Noelle returned with Lorraine's lunch and noticed Amy sitting on the floor, she went over to help the elderly woman up. "Are you okay, ma'am?"Amy looked at Noelle and sobbed, "How could a woman be so cruel as to harm their own child?"Noelle helped Amy to a chair around the corner of the corridor and asked, "Could you tell me what happened?"Realizing that someone was willing to listen to her, Amy wept, "It's that woman, Xyla Cadwell! She was pregnant with my son Eugene's child, but she chose to have an abortion!"Amy's heart ached when she thought about that. Eugene was her only child, and he was so poor that he couldn't get a wife. When he fina

    Amy spotted Quentin and recognized him; he was the wealthy man who had brought her to meet Xyla the other day. She frowned and asked, "Is that young lady your wife or your younger sister?"Quentin responded, "Of course, she's my wife!"Amy shook her head in exasperation. "How could you be so blind as to favor a woman who would kill her own child over your beautiful and kind wife, young man? Xyla was the one who kept climbing into Eugene's bed every night; she enjoyed every minute of it, yet she had the gall to claim she was forced to be with Eugene? Bullshit! Even animals have more shame than she does!"Amy was really worked up when she mentioned Xyla. It was clear that she wasn't putting on an act. A sense of dread began to creep into Quentin's heart. He had a sinking feeling that he'd been deceived by Xyla once again. Dennis, who was standing behind him, burst out laughing. "Would you look at that? Now you know Xyla for who she truly is! And to think you even donated 28 ounces

    Like grains of sand slipping through his fingers, Quentin watched as Noelle's tall figure descended the stairs. He felt a vast emptiness engulf his heart at that moment.Noelle didn't let Amy stay at Windsor Villa. She dropped her off at a hotel, paid for a month's lodging and meals, and then headed to the hospital.…Lorraine was drifting in and out of consciousness when she noticed someone standing next to her bed. The man appeared as gentlemanly and refined as ever as he said, "If only you had known then what you know now, Lorraine Summer!"Her voice cracked as she called out, "Mark Lowe!""Lorraine?" Noelle pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she spotted Lorraine sitting on the bed, her face streaked with tears, she asked with concern, "What's wrong?"It might have been her imagination, but Noelle thought she heard Lorraine calling out for Mark. It didn't make sense to her, though. After all, Mark and Lorraine had no association with each other. "Did you have a n

    Xyla had done her makeup. Even though she had just been pulled through from the brink of death, she looked surprisingly well. It made sense, considering all the blood Quentin had donated to her."What a coincidence to see you here, Noelle!" Xyla's eyes twinkled as she pretended to be concerned. "Are you sick? I heard you weren't feeling well while I was being treated. But Quentin decided to help me first. Are you okay? He just gave me a blood transfusion. It would be quite a problem if you needed one too!"Her seemingly caring words had a biting edge.Noelle felt a sharp pain in her chest as she looked at Xyla, but she plastered a smile on her face. "Thanks for worrying about me. I'll never need him to give me a blood transfusion because I will not have an abortion. If I do become pregnant, I'll just give birth to the child, because my child will undoubtedly be the beloved heir of the Lowe family."Her unruffled response caused Xyla's face to turn sour. The latter clenched her fist

    Noelle felt nothing but irony as she watched the scene unfold. "Don't you think you're being a hypocrite, Quentin? You're the one who gave her the chance and the nerve to mock me!"Quentin's expression became unreadable. "Elle!"Noelle sighed and couldn't be bothered to waste her breath on him anymore. "You should head back. I'll go home after I take care of Lorraine for a couple of days here."His presence would only remind her of how he had rushed to save Xyla so selflessly the other day; it would also remind her of how little she mattered to him and make her feel even worse. Quentin took a deep breath. He was well aware that she was still upset and that staying here any longer would only make things worse. He sighed. "I'll head back first. Don't push yourself too hard." Then, he turned and left.Meanwhile, Janet learned that Quentin had donated blood to Xyla and rushed over to Windsor Villa. However, the front gate was locked, and there was no one inside. So, she immediately c

    Noelle almost crashed into Quentin's arms when she turned around. "Quentin?" she gasped. The dim light made it hard to see his face clearly, but he was noticeably thin."Please don't leave me, Elle." He wrapped his arms around her like a helpless child who'd been abandoned by his parents. "I can't imagine what life would be like without you, Elle, so don't leave me!"His desperate pleas made her heart flutter. Noelle felt suffocated. "Quentin, I—" As soon as she opened her mouth, the man collapsed, and her eyes widened in shock. Ten minutes later, she was finally able to get him onto the bed. She took his temperature and found it was 102.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Noelle hastily went to get some fever medication and water.After taking his medication and drinking some water, he smiled at her. "Elle, you still love me, don't you?"Noelle looked at him and felt deceived. "Don't be so full of yourself!" She then turned and left. As soon as she left, Quentin spat out the fever medicine he

    "Besides, are you sure you didn't catch a cold because you overdid it when you donated your blood to Xyla?" Dennis asked.Quentin glared at him. "I'm not that weak!" He just had no idea how to face Noelle. He didn't want a divorce and was filled with pent-up frustration, so he fell ill. Dennis said, "Let me call Xyla over to keep you company then." He started dialing Xyla's number.Quentin shot him a menacing glare. "Don't you even think about it!"Dennis immediately stopped. "Alright, I'll keep you company then."He plopped down in a nearby chair but soon found himself extremely bored. He found a profile picture of a bird of paradise on WhatsApp, clicked on it, and sent a message. "It's time to pay this month's installment, Ms. Pitts."Half an hour later, she replied. "Could you please give me a few more days, Mr. Jackman? The dessert shop hasn't paid me yet."Dennis: "I can give you a little more time, but the others won't do the same for me!

    Noelle greeted them. "Hello, Johnnie. Hello, Mr. Mane." She set the bouquet she was holding on the windowsill by the bed and turned to ask John with concern, "Was there something wrong with the alcohol? Did you end up drinking something bad?"John responded, "Yeah, a little. Four out of five of us passed out. The fifth person didn't drink."He looked a little embarrassed as he continued, "It's the first time this has happened in all these years."Leslie chimed in, "Don't let his casual tone fool you, Ms. Xanthos. Mr. Xenos doesn't want you to know how terrifying the situation was last night!""Leslie!" John frowned, clearly displeased. Leslie bit his tongue and swallowed whatever she was about to say back.John turned to Noelle, his gaze softening once again. "Don't listen to him, Elle. He's just exaggerating."Noelle asked worriedly, "Do you have your blood test results? I'd like to see them."He cleared his throat. "No, it's with the doctor. Seriously, Elle, don't worry. It'

    "Sorry, but if I ever get married, it definitely won't be to either of you."Noelle had originally come to visit Christian, but now she didn't feel like staying anymore. She was beyond frustrated.Christian's sharp, dangerous eyes narrowed in an instant, brimming with hostility as he locked his gaze on Noelle. Quentin's handsome face darkened as well, his mood turning stormy.Noelle spun around and walked out."We'll see about that," Quentin muttered, getting up to leave as well.As he passed by the clinic where Noelle worked, he cast a glance in that direction before heading out.Near the end of the workday, Russ called. "Ms. Xanthos, Mr. Xanthos has arranged for you to meet a boxing champion. Are you free now? I can take you to meet him."Noelle couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and bitterness. She had lived 24 years, and only now did he care about whether she had any self-defense skills. Isn't it a little late for that?Still, she went.After one session, she was dr

    Noelle quietly closed the door behind her. Leonard glanced over, saw it was her, and put away his phone. "He just fell asleep. Ms. Xanthos, you should head home and rest. I'll keep watch tonight," he said softly.Noelle shook her head. "He took the knife for me. How could I go home? I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway. I'd rather stay here and keep an eye on him."She sat down on the couch, her gaze heavy with concern as she looked at Christian sleeping.Leonard nodded. "Alright, you stay here. I'll step out for a bit," he said before leaving the room.Noelle nodded.Christian's phone, sitting on the nightstand, pinged with a WhatsApp notification.Noelle walked over, picked up the phone, and saw a message from someone with the nickname "The Blomming Fifties.""What a flashy name," she thought with a faint smirk.But for some reason, curiosity tugged at her—she suddenly felt a strong urge to peek into Christian's private world as if she might uncover something hidden beneath t

    Noelle remained silent.In Dragfort, ever since Quentin had learned early that morning about Christian taking a knife for Noelle, he had locked himself in his office. It had been three hours now.The morning executive meeting was canceled, and his client appointments were rescheduled. Senior staff members who needed his signature on documents stood hesitating at the door, feeling the oppressive atmosphere even from outside the office.Department heads waiting to give their reports also lingered at the door, too intimidated to enter.In the end, they all turned their pleading eyes toward Martin.But even Martin was hesitant to go in.After all, he had witnessed the weight of Quentin's emotions—shock, frustration, and a deep sense of defeat—that had cast a heavy, oppressive mood over the office.Martin made a call to Dennis, knowing only he could possibly get through to Quentin now."Mr. Jackman, you need to come over," Martin said quietly, making sure to step into a quieter co

    Even though Christian was in obvious pain, he forced himself not to make a sound.Such a stubborn fool.The door knocked twice, and Leonard walked in. Seeing Noelle, he greeted her, "Ms. Xanthos."Noelle's eyes were red, but she didn't respond.Christian opened his eyes slightly and said, "Don't tell anyone I'm injured."Leonard nodded."Tell them I'm on a business trip," Christian added.Leonard raised an eyebrow, "Bro, with a wound like that, how long do you think this 'trip' will last before people catch on?"Christian shot him a cold glare, and Leonard quickly relented, "Okay, okay, I get it. I'll handle it."Christian closed his eyes again, waves of pain crashing over him like a relentless tide.Suddenly, he opened his eyes once more. "Silly girl."Noelle paused, her tear-filled eyes looking at him.A smile tugged at the corner of Christian's mouth. "Get out for a bit. You look terrible."Noelle's lips twitched as her damp lashes fluttered, and a surge of unexplainabl

    Just as the man raised the knife for a second strike, the security team arrived and swiftly pinned him down.Noelle heard a low grunt behind her, followed by Christian's pained chuckle. "Good thing it wasn't him."Noelle's heart clenched as she turned to see Christian, clutching his shoulder, slumped against her legs.He was wearing a beige coat, now stained with a large patch of blood around his shoulder.Christian was rushed to emergency surgery, but Noelle remained frozen in her chair, her mind replaying his words, "Good thing it wasn't him."Who wasn't it? Quentin?Why did he say that? Why did he act this way?The image of Christian's blood-soaked coat lingered in her mind. The wound—how deep was it?Noelle sat there, numb and lost in thought for an unknown period, until Michael appeared.He glanced at her through the doorway, but without a word, he continued walking past.A little while later, Kara gently patted her shoulder. "They've moved him to a room. You should go s

    Emmie smiled and placed a few more ravioli on Noelle's plate. "Then eat a little more. It's your mom's first time cooking, and once you're in the Utopia States, you won't have this."It wasn't like she had never cooked before—she had made instant noodles when she was alone.Noelle ate a small bowl of ravioli without pausing, her stomach now full and round. Her eyes welled up with tears, though whether it was from happiness or something else, no one could tell.After dinner, Noelle stayed for a bit before leaving.Emmie watched Noelle's car disappear down the driveway before finally going upstairs.Michael, leaning back on the bed, heard her soft footsteps approaching and lifted his eyelids.The bedroom was dark, and when Emmie stepped in, her gaze met Michael's dark, piercing eyes. She paused at the doorway, and he continued watching her."Lia must be blind. She couldn't tell if it was you or the driver," Emmie said coldly, walking straight to the other side of the bed and pulli

    Emmie was at a loss for words.Michael said, "Your daughter's leaving for the Utopia States soon. You should take this time to spend with her."Emmie's breath hitched. "Elle agreed?"Michael nodded. "Yes."It was the best way for Noelle to get away from those two men and focus on her own growth.After a night's rest, Noelle felt much better the next morning. Emmie called her, inviting her to Gentle Glades after work.What Noelle didn't expect was to see Michael there as well.He was lounging on the couch in casual clothes, flipping through a medical journal. Emmie, wearing an apron, seemed to be busy in the kitchen. When Noelle walked in, Emmie immediately came out."Elle!" Emmie's gentle face was filled with warmth as she took Noelle's hand.Noelle felt a bit disoriented.In her memory, Emmie's life was filled with books and work, never with the kitchen. And Michael—she hadn't seen him so relaxed and calm, casually reading a magazine on the couch, in over a decade.It felt

    Michael couldn't forget the look Elijah had given him that day—a mocking smile, full of meaning. Elijah slowly pulled back, revealing Emmie's curled-up body underneath him.Without a word, Michael opened his phone and pulled up a social media app. He tossed the phone to Emmie. "Take a look for yourself."Emmie looked down and saw a video posted by Elijah just minutes earlier. It was of her feeding him. She watched in disbelief, then replayed it. The account was undeniably Elijah's."Scroll down. There's more," Michael's voice drifted from the couch.Emmie's fingers moved down the screen, her peripheral vision catching a glimpse of Michael sitting with his legs crossed, taking a sip of coffee handed to him by the housekeeper.Further down, she found a photo posted by Elijah a month ago, showing her preparing his medicine. The footage seemed to be taken from security cameras.But none of these posts had appeared on her social media feed.She had never seen them on her phone.Mich

    Quentin didn't deny it.Noelle's chest tightened as she remembered that day in Ocean City when Christian had said Gillian deserved to be slapped. Now, it all made sense.At the time, she had sarcastically asked him if he would treat her the same way once he got tired of her.His response had been, "Do you think I'm tired of her, and that's why I did it?"Now she understood. Christian had known all along that it was Quentin who had called Gillian to Ocean City.A wave of frustration swelled in Noelle's chest. Her fingers clenched tightly as the memory of Christian's sweet words clashed with the thought of him being with Gillian. Bitterness gnawed at her.Just then, the door opened again, and a strong, steady figure entered. His gaze swept silently over the two men in the room before he walked straight to the bed."Elle?""Clement!" At the sight of him, Noelle's eyes brimmed with tears."Let's go home," Clement said as he turned and carefully lifted her onto his back. Noelle res
