Margaret saw that Irene's figure was very thin. She knew that she was worried about Eden's health, so she comforted and gave Irene some advice. Irene's priority was to take care of herself to ensure the baby in her stomach developed healthily, and Eden’s illness would also be cured in time.
After talking for a while, Margaret bid them goodbye and left. On the way back, Margaret was still worried. Irene was so slim and weak, so would her baby be healthy? She had to find a way to make Irene gain more weight. Margaret thought about buying some nutritious food to nourish Irene's body.
After returning home, Margaret specifically looked into recipes for pregnant women and found out that pregnant women in Singapore and Hong Kong had begun to eat bird's nests during the first two or three months. It not only made the mother strong, but would also make the future newborn child stronger, more fair, beautiful, and have a stronger immune system.
The bird's nest was a nou
Irene already had doubts about Margaret's sudden kindness, and now the suspicion in her heart was growing bigger and bigger. Was Margaret deliberately trying to confuse her so that she would be less on her guard and then she would find a chance to harm her? Although the idea was a little unbelievable, she did not dare to risk her baby's life. She smiled faintly and said, "Alright, I like to add some milk into the bird's nest. I'll go add some and then eat It." As she spoke, she turned around and entered the room as Loraine followed behind her. After only just a few steps, Irene turned around and stopped her, "Oh, I've forgotten one thing. Last time, when Mrs. Myers brought Eden back, he was greatly frightened. He was always afraid to see you two. You'd better not go in and let him see you. Otherwise, he would cry." Loraine stopped walking and asked awkwardly, "He's even afraid of me?" "Yes, ever since he came back from the hospital that day, he has be
She hurriedly approached Margaret and kneeled at her side. Irene saw that both Margaret's eyes were tightly closed, and her face was pale. There was a palm print on her face, and the right side of her forehead was red and swollen. It was as if she had been hit by something. Her heart sank as she patted Margaret's shoulders lightly while she called,"Mrs. Myers..Mrs. Myers.." repeatedly. Margaret was still unconscious, so she quickly checked her pulse and breathing. They were weak, and she could not help but feel even more anxious. She called for Loraine as she dug out her phone from her handbag and dialed the emergency line. While she was on the line, Loraine came up to her. She jumped at the sight of the situation in the room, "Oh no, Miss Nelson! What did you do to Madam? Did you hit her?" Irene hung up on the call and frowned, "What are you talking about? I saw her lying on the ground as soon as I came in. I don't know what happened." Loraine glared
Irene noticed Edric’s tightly knitted brows and gloomy face. She knew at that instant that he was feeling solemn. His father had passed away early, and Margaret had taken care of him all by herself. Hence, both the mother and son had a strong bond with each other. Today, Margaret was given a notice of her having critical illness, and the doctors said the surgery was overly risky. If she did not survive the operation, then she would likely remain in a vegetative state. Irene had completely forgotten all of Margaret's insults and bullying in the past. She prayed that Margaret's surgery would be successful. Then, Edric would not need to be depressed. In that instant, she realized that she was still deeply in love with Edric, and that was the only reason that caused her to be sad and worried for him. She gently touched Edric's hand and said softly, "Edric, don't worry too much. Mrs. Myers is a good person, so the heavens will protect her." Edric looked up
Loraine jogged towards Irene and Edric's side and saw that a paper cup had fallen on the ground. Water was splashed everywhere. She acted surprised and asked, "What happened?" "Mrs. Myers is in poor health, and Mr. Myers is in a bad mood," John explained. Loraine was a professional in reading situations. Since John was trying to dissuade Edric, she knew in an instant what just happened. Irene must have tried to pass a cup of water to Edric, but he did not appreciate it and had knocked over the cup. She was secretly pleased. Irene's face was flustered. She had noticed that Edric's lips were dry and cracked, so she poured him a cup of water. Who would have thought that Edric wouldn't have appreciated it and instead knocked it over with a wave? He even spat out that she was pretending to be kind. Edric had always treated Irene well. Even when he divorced her years ago, he had never snapped at her like that. Irene felt somewhat aggrieved. If she had not b
Listening to the heated argument between Irene and Edric in the living room, Lorraine smiled wryly. Judging from the situation, Edric had fallen for the lie. He believed that Irene was responsible for Margaret’s condition. She anticipated how things would unfold. The door slammed open and Irene dashed out of the living room, fuming mad as she left the house. "How can she be so ruthless and act so indignant despite what she has done? Does she really think that I won't call the police? John, call the police immediately! I want to how she'll act this innocent!" Edric was steaming with anger. He seized a cup and smashed it on the ground as he yelled. Fear clutched at Loraine's throat when she heard what he said. Would Edric really call the police? If he really called the police, things would become complicated. The police had become more experienced in cracking crimes. Things would turn ugly if they discovered that Deborah had come over. Loraine panicked
They arrived at the hospital and bumped into Marie who had come over to visit Margaret. She wiped away his tears as she approached him, "Edric, what happened? She was still fine when I visited her this morning. We had even planned to go on a vacation once she had recovered. What on earth happened to her?” Tears trickled down her cheeks as she spoke, seeming devastated. Edric hid the disgust towards the woman in his eyes and pretended to be furious, "It's all because of Irene. She came over to question my mother today regarding something and pushed her. She's the culprit." "Irene pushed her? Are you sure?!" Marie exclaimed in disbelief. "It can't be a mistake. It has to be her. She once slapped my mother in front of me. Just now I was away, and it was the perfect opportunity for her to treat my mother as harshly as she wanted." Edric clenched his fist, "If she wasn't pregnant, I would...she really is too vicious!” Seeing that he was simmering with ange
John immediately arranged for someone to follow Luther. He also went to the police station and asked a contact to show him CCTV footage of the route that Marie had taken to go to Edric's villa. He found that while Marie was on the way to the villa, there had been someone sitting at the back of her car. The person was covered up so well so their face could not be seen clearly. On the way back, the same person was still in Marie's car. This time however, Marie had taken a turn into a small alley, and after she came back out, the person in her car was gone. Although they could not see the person's appearance clearly, it was a meaningful discovery. When Marie had gone to the Myers home, the blackout had not happened yet, which meant that the surveillance cameras in the villa were still working. Perhaps they would be able to uncover something. John hurried back to get the surveillance footage of the villa. He saw that while Marie's car had entered the property, th
He went with the police to take Rosa's statement. Rosa did not know much about Bruce's situation at all, but she did give one clue, and that was that Bruce would often call a man named Logan behind her back. Back then she was still a bit wary of Bruce, so she would often secretly listen to his conversations with Logan. Back then she had wondered if Bruce was seeing other women outside. So while he was in the shower, Rosa had secretly looked through his phone and recorded Logan's phone number down. The police asked Rosa to give them the phone number that she had recorded. With the number, John found out that his full name was Logan Wheeler. After some investigation, John found that Logan owned quite a few shops. In order to exert his power, he had quite a few underlings under him. Bruce had indeed worked for him before. Although they had found a connection to Logan, it did not mean anything. Right now, they had to find Bruce. Edric did not want to let
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
Marie, who was seriously injured, was immediately sent to the hospital for rescue while Loraine and Jackson were taken to the police station. Irene soon learned what had happened. 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. Deborah and Logan's death gave Lily a headache. After their death, Lily had nothing else left. Lily felt annoyed when faced with the
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. Why don't you wait until I get reven
“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?"
