2022-04-23 20:00:30Nathan agreed to her request and left. After tucking Eden to sleep, Irene stood by the door of the White family and glanced around nervously, checking her phone every few minutes. Why hadn't Nathan called her? Had something really happened to Edric?
All of a sudden, the phone rang. Irene answered it immediately, "Nathan, have you found him?"
"I'm not Nathan!" Edric said in a low voice.
"It’s you. Where are you? John is looking for you everywhere...”
"Irene, I have something to tell you," Edric interrupted her.
"Can you not marry Nathan?" Irene was silent for a moment.
"No!"
"Are my mistakes really unforgivable? Can't you just forgive me this once?"
Irene let his question hang. Was Edric truly that unforgivable? She had loathed him before and thought him inexcusable. But after knowing the truth, her hatred for him had abated. She had considered getting back together with him for Eden's sake, she really had. But with Marg

Originally, Nathan was going to accompany Irene back to the country. However, the previous incident at the factory had disrupted his plan. One of the disobliging workers had filed a lawsuit against him. As the defendant, he wasn't allowed to leave the country. Nathan was distraught, he had no choice but to call Jordan. Jordan jumped up in anger when he heard Nathan tell him that Margaret had brought Eden back to the country secretly. "For God's sake, what's wrong with you? Didn't you promise me that you would protect Irene and Eden? How could you let that crazy woman snatch Eden away?" "It’s my fault. I had never for the life of me expected Edric's mother to come all the way here. I'm worried about Irene going back to the country alone. On top of that, Eden's health is at stake. Please help Irene. After I'm done handling some work stuff, I'll rush over immediately." Nathan felt culpable as well. Joanne was the one who had started all this. If she had not revealed to

No sooner had they alighted the plane than Edric turned on his phone, and as expected, they had already learned Eden's whereabouts. After reading the message, he hurried to grab Irene's hand, who was scurrying in front of him, and said, "Irene, Eden is in the Wellcare Hospital right now.” Swiveling around, Irene asked eagerly, "How is his condition?" “Don't worry. He was just slightly frightened. The doctor said that there's nothing serious. He can be discharged from the hospital after staying for a few days,” Edric answered. Irene lightened herself with a sigh of relief. She had been worrying about Eden's safety the whole time she was on the plane. Although she also knew that Margaret would not harm Eden, he must have been disoriented since Margaret took him away by force, and it might even aggravate Eden's condition too. However, right then after hearing Edric's words, her heart, which had been tensed up for a long time, could finally beat steadily.

Edric arrived precisely at that time. Alarmed to see Margaret rolling down the stairs, he hurried forward and asked, "Mom, are you all right?" Margaret screamed, "My leg! My leg hurts so much!" Irene was also shocked to see Margaret fall down the stairs. However, seeing that Edric was there, she decided to pay no heed and continued to stride out with Eden in his arms. Jordan and Kinsey followed closely. After the three of them reached the front desk, Irene informed the nurse about her identity and asked her to discharge Eden. The nurse frowned. “Do you have any proof of you being the child's mother?" "Yes, and I'll show you my identity card and passport." Irene hurriedly reached for her identity card from her leather purse. She had just got off the plane, hence both her identity card and passport were still with her, which could be used to prove the relationship between her and Eden. The nurse eyed her documents and said, "The child is

Seeing how Margaret had closed herself off to any room for discussion, Edric slammed the door and left. Furious, Margaret panted, "You ungrateful brat, just you wait. I'll surely sue Irene! I must let you know I am your mother and I am someone whom you two can trifle with.” Margaret confirmed with the lawyer that she wished to sue Irene. Soon, Irene received a letter from the lawyer. Jordan immediately hired a lawyer for her upon learning that. Margaret requested the lawyer to hand over the surveillance video to the court. The judge gathered that although Irene didn't mean to hurt Margaret, she had indeed caused serious injury to Margaret. Hence, the judge concluded that Irene should pay monetary compensation to Margaret and go for detention. However, the judge still recommended letting them reach a consensus in private. Edric went to Margaret again. "Mom, Irene is pregnant. Even if you do not have the slightest care for her, please at least think about that unborn b

Steven exited the cafe and returned home. At his arrival, Deborah welcomed him. "Why are you back so early today?" Steven snorted. "Where's Lily?” "She's sleeping upstairs." "It's the middle of the day, why is she still asleep? Ask her to come down. I have something to ask her." Steven's face darkened. Deborah immediately ascended the stairs and pushed open the door to Lily's bedroom. She lowered her voice and spoke, "Hey, your dad wants to ask you about Edric. Do as Marie says. Don't ever blunder, understand?" "Alright." After freshening up, Lily went out of the bedroom. Looking at Steven's sullen face in the living room, Lily felt somewhat nervous. She didn't even know why she was afraid of Steven. "Dad, you're looking for me?" she asked, pretending to be nonchalant. Steven snorted and gestured to Lily to sit down opposite him. "What's going on between you and Edric?” "Nothing special, Dad,” Lily answered, looking inn

At noon the next day, Steven brought a large bag of gifts over to Jordan's villa. Irene heard the doorbell and opened the door. When she discovered that it was Steven at the door, her expression immediately darkened. "Why are you here?" she asked. "I'm here to see my grandson!" Steven yelled. He had no concern over Irene's indifferent attitude and went straight into the villa. Eden was occupied with solving a puzzle in the living room when he heard Steven's voice and looked up. This was the first time Steven had seen Eden. He instantly took a liking to him. Eden bore a resemblance to Irene. He placed the gift he bought in front of Eden and affectionately touched Eden's head, saying, " You're Eden, right? I' m your grandfather." "Grandfather? What's that?" Eden asked curiously with his eyes wide open. Irene had never mentioned the word grandfather' in front of him. Hence, he didn't know what it meant. Steven's face turned a little red. "It means I'm yo

Edric got out of the car and went straight into the pharmacy. He saw Loraine and Tommy at the prescription counter. Although Tommy was standing beside Loraine, his eyes were darting around the store. Tommy saw Edric the moment he stepped off the elevator. When he saw Edric, he distanced himself from Loraine without thinking and took the initiative to approach Edric. "Mr. Myers!" Tommy's greeting made Loraine, who had her back to Edric, turn her head. She was obviously shocked when she saw Edric. Fortunately, Tommy was now talking to Edric so Loraine could use some time to process the situation. After a moment, she went back to having a neutral expression on her face. After calming herself down, she marched over to Edric as if nothing had happened. "Mr. Myers, nice meeting you. When did you return to San Fetillo?" "I just came back today," Edric answered. "How is my mother?" "She has recovered well, but her mood isn't doing too well. You could

Seeing Edric leave, Loraine bought the honeysuckle she was looking for and left the pharmacy too. On the way back, she called her son. "Tommy, are you sure he doesn't find anything suspicious?" "Don't worry. We aren't related in any way. There's no possibility that he'd put the two of us together," Tommy answered. After hearing that, Loraine felt much relieved. The only people who knew that Tommy was her son were Deborah and herself. As a matter of fact, both Deborah and she were from the same village. Back then, Loraine herself was also from Cat Alley. Moreover, she was only a few years older than Deborah; thus, it made sense if they were friends. There were all sorts of people who lived in Cat Alley. People who were born there found it hard to escape the clutches of it. Loraine's family wasn't rich, so naturally, her childhood wasn't an easy one. Their family earned a living by setting up a food stall by the roadside. They would wake up in the wee h

Lily and Joanne left delightfully the moment they saw the miscarriage. However, they did not expect to be faced with a swarm of police officers after they opened the door. Both Lily and Joanne were immediately subdued, and the masked pregnant woman was carried out. 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. However, she had found out too late. The police put Joanna and Lily under charges for kidnapping with murder intent. According to Article 239 of the Criminal Law, anyone found kidnapping another person or holding them as hostage for the purpose of extorting property would be sentenced to more than ten years imprisonment

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?"
