2022-03-18 20:00:43Jordan and Edric quickly arrived at the hospital with Irene. The doctor gave Irene emergency treatment right away. After the treatment, Irene was sent to the ward. The doctor told them that she had no serious problem and would be fine after some rest. Hearing the doctor's words, Jordan and Edric looked at each other, and both heaved a sigh of relief.
After Irene rushed out of the office, she went on a bus in a daze. The bus continued to drive forward, and she sat on her seat blankly until she was the only passenger left on the bus.
The night fell, and the scenery outside the window turned into a complete black. When the bus driver announced that they had arrived at the terminal station, Irene stood up at once.
The bus driver opened the door, and she got out of the bus slowly. She felt chilly as the evening breeze blew on her. She stared at the dark sky blankly, and there was a salty scent in the air.
Realizing that she was not far from the beach now,

Deborah was sneering as she looked at the comments on the Internet with Lily. "Although Irene's image has been ruined now, Edric must have a knot about you in his stomach. The most important thing now is that we should let him be suspicious about you. Call Edric immediately and tell him that you'll reveal your relationship with Irene to everyone." "How should I do that?" Lily asked. "Tell Edric that you want to disclose the news that Irene is your sister to defend Irene," told Deborah. "Mom, Dad will definitely not agree to this." Lily did not think that was a good idea. "Of course, he won't, but it doesn't matter. Just tell Edric and see how he will answer." Deborah had her own plan. "Mom, is this really okay? If Edric really agrees to it, what should we do?" Lily stared at Deborah. "Then we should do what we say! If Edric agrees to let you announce the relationship between you and Irene to the public, Irene is his sister-in-law by then. In t

Lily left Edric alone sensibly, albeit feeling rather uneasy. Edric didn't seem to be angry at all, instead, he was treating her as usual. Did he believe her that she was innocent or otherwise? When she returned home, she told Deborah everything that happened a while ago. Deborah revealed a disparaging smile. "It doesn't matter if he believes it or not. Remember that you should not admit it no matter what happened. Your father will be back soon." "Mom, Dad has always been favoring Irene over me. If he knew this, he would definitely blame me," Lily groaned worriedly. "Don't worry. There will be a good show awaiting him when he comes back!" Steven came back from San Fetillo in the afternoon. His face looked as dark as the thunderstorm when he entered the house. Deborah and Lily were on pins and needles so not to irritate Steven. Deborah was highly experienced and her expression looked as if nothing had happened. Lily, on the other hand, had been like a

Only Irene and Steven were left in the ward. Steven looked at Irene and apologized, "Irene, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I was bewitched...” "Let the bygones be bygones,” Irene interrupted Steven. "You don't have to apologize to me. I should apologize to you instead because I am the reason that this matter was exposed. Presumably, I've embarrassed you, didn't I?” "Irene, I'm so regretful. When I received the accusation letter back then, I had no choice but to marry Deborah. In fact, I only have your mother in my heart all the time...” "Alright, Mr. Cook!" Irene interrupted Steven once again. "I have noted your apologies. You did not do anything wrong at that time. Everyone is selfish and will do everything for one's own good. For the sake of your own future, you have done nothing wrong. I don't blame you." Steven's face flushed. Instead of looking in his direction, in a very calm voice, she added, "Now, let's talk about the solution of this m

Jordan was implying that Lily and Deborah were the ones who self-directed the whole thing. Irene didn't believe it. Although she hated them very much, she wasn't convinced that they would commit such a thing for it would very likely end up shooting their own feet. After all, they were gambling with their reputations. She returned to Thomas' place with a heavy heart. When Thomas saw her face that was plastered with anxiety, he recalled that Edric and Jordan were looking for her all over the place earlier that day. Thomas had been worried about her throughout the day, for fear that something would happen to her. Later, Jordan called Thomas and told the latter that Irene had gone on a business trip. Soon after that, when Thomas finally reached Irene, what she told him was the same as Jordan. Although Thomas didn't quite believe it, he decided not to question the authenticity of their statements. It was not until he saw the evening news that he realized that thin

Irene could imagine how Margaret would react to Edric's action. She would definitely be furious. She assumed that Margaret would be ruining the furniture and making a mess at her own home now. Irene's guess was accurate. Margaret saw Edric's interview and smashed all the things in her house into pieces. She called Edric and asked him to come back quickly to explain to her. On the other side, Lily and Deborah were so vexed after watching the show. It was beyond Lily and Deborah's expectation that Edric would shape Lily into such a person. Deborah only thought that Edric and Margaret would sympathize with Lily more because Lily's reputation was tarnished, and they would take her side as they were bashed too in this incident. It never crossed her mind that Edric would pull out such a card. When Lily approached Edric, she played the same trick. Edric was now using her own ploy. How ironic it was. Looking at the host praising her kindness, Lily was distrau

"Whoa, that's amusing! The baby must be from the Storks!" Irene sneered. “Is sexual intercourse the only way that a child can be conceived?" Edric retorted. "There are many ways to get pregnant.” "Do you mean artificial insemination?" Irene looked at Edric in surprise. Edric nodded and said, "Yes, and it's not even my sperm!" Irene's eyes widened. "How is this possible?" "At that time, my mother forced me to divorce you. I had no choice. I wanted to give her a grandson for the sake of my family. I asked John to get sperm from a sperm bank." "Impossible!" Irene did not believe it at all. "Are you lying? Edric, do you think that there's no way for me to investigate all this, and that's why you lied?" "I didn't. Irene, I have never touched Lily. At that time, I had no choice but to divorce you. My mother threatened me with her life. You know that! Thus, I forced you to sign that contract. I thought you would not sign it, but you left the

Steven's words were of no comfort to Lily. Lily's sobs soon escalated into loud, sorrowful wailing. Compared to Edric, whatever Steven was going to do was just a drop in the bucket. Money was secondary to her. She loved Edric so much. After so many years of painstaking effort and work, she could not just give him up. Faced with Lily crying, Steven handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears with. "Don't cry, Lily. I will definitely find you someone better than Edric!" At that moment, a doctor came in to examine Steven’s condition. Lily stopped wailing at once. The doctor, noticing Lily's reddened eyes, told her, "Mr. Cook will be fine. You don't need to worry." The doctor mistakenly believed that Lily was crying because she was worried about Steven. Steven did not bother explaining to the doctor too. It was then that Lily's phone rang. The caller turned out to be none other than Edric. Lily excused herself from the room and answered the call outside.

Steven had assumed that Deborah had always been concerned about him. He even naively believed that Deborah took him as everything that revolved around her. But now Deborah suddenly said, "If something happens to you, what will happen to Lily and me in the future?" She didn't even think about Steven at all. Steven was positively upset. "Wait, I am sorry. I didn't mean that. I was just worried about you!" Deborah hurriedly explained herself. She knew that she had uttered the wrong words. "Honey, what can I do for you now?" "If you were genuinely worried about me, you would have stayed at home and not caused me any trouble. Visit me at the hospital when I need you to," Steven said. Deborah lingered at the hospital a while longer before leaving. She didn't head home but instead, she went to the beauty salon that she frequented. She arrived and was escorted to the VIP room. Heather, the staff member that serviced her regularly came up and asked, "W

Joanne and Lily were shocked to find out that the pregnant woman they had beaten up was not Irene but a stranger. "What's going on?” Lily pointed at the stranger woman and asked Wayne angrily. "What are you talking about? Isn't she the woman that you had asked me to kidnap?" Wayne retorted. "Y-you! How dare you lie to me?" Even an idiot would know that Lily had been set up.

She had promised to stay with Nathan and forgive him. However, the reality presented a bigger problem than she thought. Rowane was her younger sister, and they had the same blood flowing in their veins after all. She was not able to accept a man who had an affair with her younger sister. However, it was not a matter of whether she could accept what had happened or not. It was Rowane who was indeed in love with Nathan. When she observed her affection towards Nathan and remembered the fact that she was pregnant, Irene wished to persuade Nathan to accept Rowane. Ever since she had said that sentence at the hospital that day, Nathan avoided spending time alone with Irene. He did not want Irene to tell him to take responsibility for Rowane. Meanwhile, Irene was in a difficult position as well. Nathan had wasted nine years of his youth with her, so how could she ask him to marry Rowane? She was hesitant, so Kinsey came to advise her as well, "Irene, give Ed

"Hush now, it's all in the past!" Irene patted her shoulder and comforted her gently, “Perhaps she has gone mad to escape from her guilt!" "Yes. If there is only pain left in a person's life, it is better to just die. Since she didn't want to die, going mad is the best way for her to get rid of the pain," Edric chipped in to comfort her. Nathan watched Irene and Rowane hugging and crying together as he stood by the side. He felt a mix of emotions. Irene was someone who emphasized a lot on relationships and affection. It would be impossible for him to be with Irene. He heaved a heavy sigh and thought, "How ill-fated we are!” Rowane overheard Nathan's sigh and glanced at him with eyes full of tears, “Nathan, I won't pester you anymore. Don't worry, I won't let this child affect you." "What nonsense are you spouting?" Irene glared at Rowane. The estrangement between her and Rowane vanished completely after the hug. She spat, "Nathan isn't that ki

Nathan rushed to the police station after receiving the call. When Rowane noticed Nathan's initial tender expression had turned hard, she felt incredibly guilty. She had never dreamed that the person she loved would be the same Nathan who had been Irene's guardian for the past nine years. Why was it that the person she liked always had something to do with Irene? First, it had been Edric. Now, it was Nathan. She was pregnant with Nathan's child now. As Nathan despised her, Rowane did not want Nathan to misunderstand her any further. The moment she saw Nathan, she told Nathan everything that had happened to her. Nathan had heard from Jordan that Rowane was a woman with an evil heart. So, he had begun to loathe her. Now, he knew that she had been deceived by Marie, and his hatred towards Rowane naturally dissipated. Hence, Nathan decided to bring Rowane back to Haverland. When Edric heard that Nathan was bringing Rowane back to Haverland, he went to look for Ir

Lily could not dodge the cup in time as water splashed on her face. The water washed away the makeup she had put on to bluff Steven, revealing her true colors. Steven was infuriated to see Lily going to such extreme measures to con him. He pointed at Lily and bellowed, "Get out of here, you b*tch!" "Dad, have you gotten things mixed up? I'm Lily. I'm your daughter, Lily.” “Get lost! You're an illegitimate child!" Steven's hands trembled as he spoke. Edric let out a snicker as he stood by the side and said, "Miss Cook, look at this!" Lily took over the report and glanced at the content, "Whose report is this?" "It's yours and Mr. Cook's. Do you still think that Mr. Cook is your biological father?" "This is impossible!” Lily was taken aback. She had always thought that she was Steven's daughter. Never in a million years would she think that she actually was not related to Steven at all. "Why would it be impossible? Your m

Deborah and Logan had been burned to death while Marie had been stabbed and hospitalized. What awaited Marie was a lifetime of imprisonment. The murderers who had killed her mother had all met their doom, but Irene’s heart was not happy at all. If she could, she would rather not seek revenge, as she only wanted her mother to be alive. After being treated by a doctor in the hospital, Marie's condition stabilized. After a few days of recovery in the hospital, she finally gained consciousness. Soon, Marie had Lily on her mind the whole time and she wanted to know how Lily was. Although Marie was missing Lily, Lily did not return the same feelings.

The hospital staff were horrified to see Marie's obscene videos. Marie's image in the hospital had initially been excellent, so it was shocking to see such videos of her. People generally liked gossip, so employees who were familiar with each other began to secretly gossip about Marie, "I didn't expect that the seemingly noble and cold Dr. Walker’s private life would be so licentious!" "You're right! Look at these positions, haha! Just one look and I know that she's an expert in that field. What do you mean she's noble and cold? She is such a sl*t!" Everyone in the hospital, including the patients, had all watched Marie's obscene videos and they were all discussing it. However, Marie was oblivious to it. When she went to work, she found that the nurses in the hospital were looking at her differently, but she did not give it much thought. Marie had cooked nutritious soup for Lily and she brought it into Lily's ward, "Lily, drink it while it's hot!” Mar

“B*tch, tell me honestly, how did Rosa die?" Jackson questioned angrily. He too had received news about Rosa's death, and he was devastated. During that period of time, Jackson's heart was in a mess. He thought carefully and came to the conclusion that Rosa's death must had something to do with Loraine. He had believed that Tommy was Loraine's son before, but that was not the case anymore. Jackson thought that Loraine must have killed Rosa out of jealousy. Jackson had constantly been looking for Loraine, ready to take revenge. Pure hatred surged in Jackson's eyes upon seeing Loraine. He stretched out his arm and grabbed Loraine, "B*tch, you'll die today!” Loraine could not care less. She didn't have much desire to live either. Right then, taking revenge for her son was the only thing on her mind. Seeing that Jackson was going to take action on her, she said in a hurry, "I deserve to die, but I can’t let my son die in vain.

“We'll talk about Irene later. We have to deal with Lily's problem right now. You've come at the right time. When Lily wakes up, you should try to talk to her. She's too emotionally unstable right now," Marie said. "I know, I came here with the thought of persuading her," Deborah nodded. Lily's temper was generally pretty bad, and she was the only one who could persuade her. Deborah reached out and touched Lily's face, which was pale due to major blood loss, "How long has she been asleep? Nothing bad will happen right?" “Nothing bad will happen. Lily woke up in the morning. Her emotions were all over the place, that I had no choice but to ask someone to give her a sedative. She will wake up soon," Marie explained. Deborah was relieved upon hearing that, but she soon remembered Lily's children. Although Simon had said that Lily's children were healthy, Deborah was still worried, "Marie, where are Lily's children? Is there any problem with them?"
