Chapter 141 Let Them Handle Their Problems
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-03-23 13:49:48I looked down at Susan Wenger, my body stiff with disbelief. And then, I laughed.
Not because anything was funny—but because I finally realized just how foolish I had been.
I had actually worried that Madam Ferguson would really force Susan to have an abortion. I had thought that maybe Susan would finally admit the truth to save herself. But no—she was still playing her games, still pretending to be the victim.
And I? I was the biggest fool of them all.
Of course, Susan had already informed James. Of course, she had been stalling, waiting for him to come and rescue her. I had been so focused on the old lady’s anger, on the chaos unfolding before me, that I hadn’t even seen it.
Susan Wenger was always one step ahead, always ready with her next move.
"Brother James, please save me, save the baby. I won't fight with my sister for anything. Why do you have to get rid of my baby? What did he do wrong? It hurts so much..."<

The old lady was caught off guard by what had happened and was exhausted. Looking at Mr. Ferguson and Hellen Ferguson, who were obviously biased towards each other, the old lady felt frustrated and helpless.There were outsiders present who followed suit to persuade the old lady, and she had no choice but to do anything, and her anger gradually subsided."James, why don't you take Susan to the ward and find a doctor to see her right away, before anything really happens to her,"Hellen Ferguson urged, especially when she saw that Susan Wenger was so weak that she seemed unable to open her eyes, she became worried and anxious. After all, the baby in Susan Wenger's belly is her hope to save her youngest son.Mr Ferguson also said in a deep voice:"Stop embarrassing yourself here, get her out of here quickly."Just as James Ferguson was about to take a step, Mrs. Ferguson suddenly said,"Wait!"Everyone looked at the old lady, but she turned around and looked at me, I was pushed to the ed

ZeldaThe air in the hospital corridor felt heavy and thick with unspoken words and lingering emotions. I adjusted my bag on my shoulder, preparing to leave with Grandma when James Ferguson spoke."I'll come with you to send Grandma back."I frowned, caught off guard by his sudden offer. His voice held an unfamiliar tone—was it sincerity? Guilt? I couldn’t tell.Instead, I folded my arms and met his gaze with a blank expression."You should stay here and take care of Miss Susan," I replied coolly.James sneered. "You are so generous."I rolled my eyes, unwilling to humour whatever twisted logic he was playing at. I turned away, dismissing him, but Grandma wasn’t one to hold back."Get lost! Can't you see that Zelda doesn't like you?!" she snapped.James, unfazed, simply slid one hand into his pocket and reached out with the other to hold the elevator door open for us."Then it's okay for Grandma to see me."Grandma let out a laugh, sharp and full of mockery."Which eye of yours saw th

ZeldaI stood just outside the door, the delicate tray of calming tea in my hands, but my attention was completely consumed by the heated exchange inside. I heard James's voice—powerful, confident, and yet somehow it struck a chord deep within me. His words rang in my ears.“I can’t let her marry any man other than me.”I froze. My breath caught in my throat, and my hand tightened on the tray. It was ridiculous how much those words made my heart race. I should’ve been used to his possessiveness by now, but hearing him say it out loud, so forcefully—it made me wonder.Does he still care?The thought flitted through my mind before I could push it away. I bit my lip, my mind racing as I tried to rationalize it. It wasn’t love—it couldn’t be. It was just his need for control, his arrogance, his overwhelming desire to keep things his way. Even if I was no longer his wife, James Ferguson was the same possessive man he had always been. His words meant nothing, absolutely nothing more than th

The throbbing in my hand was a dull reminder of James’ grip. I yanked it away, my fury bubbling to the surface. I was ready to unleash a torrent of words, maybe even a kick—anything to make him feel the same frustration he’d caused me.But then, James rolled over, got off me, and sat up. He started to remove his shirt, the sunlight catching the contours of his back.It was… distracting.The way his spine moved, the play of muscles beneath his skin. For a moment, I almost forgot my anger.Almost.My foot was already halfway up, aimed squarely at his backside when he spoke.His voice, low and husky, sent a shiver down my spine.“If you dare to kick me again, I'll make you cry under me.”The threat hung in the air, thick with something… dangerous.My foot dropped back to the floor like a stone.I was scared. Not just physically, but… something else.He just sat there, though, breathing deeply. Didn’t do anything. My heart finally started to slow down.And I couldn't help but stare at his

James"I said, don’t pay attention to it," I snapped, my patience wearing thin.Cheng was worrying too much. Overestimating the situation. Overestimating her."Do you really think there’s anyone in this city who dares to hurt me? Or do you think I can’t even deal with a weak, middle-aged woman who’s practically powerless? Do I look like I need bodyguards as if I’m facing some great enemy?"Silence.Cheng stared at me for a moment, then finally backed off. He knew better than to argue. He knew what I was capable of. Muay Thai, karate, firearms, grappling—I was trained, and experienced. I didn’t need protection.He was being ridiculous.We arrived at the hospital, and I wasted no time heading straight for Susan Wenger’s room.She lay there on the hospital bed, wrapped in a thin gown, a bandage around her forehead. Pale. Haggard. The same woman who had once been so full of herself, so confident.Now?She looked pathetic.Her eyes, red and swollen, stared blankly at the ceiling, lifeless.

ChengI was really starting to worry about him. As his assistant, I felt like I had a pretty good read on the situation.The CEO clearly cared about his wife, about this marriage. I’d seen it myself. Back when Zelda was still working in the office, I’d walked in on him a few times while delivering documents. He’d be staring at her, lost in his own little world.Sometimes he wouldn’t even notice me come in. And… well, he’d have this… soft smile on his face. A real smile. Not the usual, carefully constructed one.It was… love. I was sure of it. I was so happy for them back then, for the CEO and his secretly married wife. I never imagined they’d end up like this.I’d thought it was just a lovers’ quarrel. But then they signed up for their divorce. And he’d been… different ever since. Quiet. Short-tempered. There was a bitterness in his voice, even when he was just giving instructions.It was all because his wife was leaving. He was too proud to admit it, of course. But I knew. He needed

YuellOf all the people I could run into today, it had to be her.From the moment I saw her talking to Sia, something in my gut told me she was up to something. And when I realized where she was heading—toward Director Wang—I didn’t hesitate.I closed the distance in a few long strides and grabbed her arm."Come with me."She recoiled, eyes blazing. "Hey! What are you doing? Yuell Qing, are you sick? Let me go!"Sia blinked in confusion, clearly unsure whether to intervene. She tried to follow, but my assistant stopped her."Miss Sia," he said smoothly, “Mr Yuell has a few words with Miss Jian. Please don’t go over there."Sia hesitated, then sighed. "Jian knows Mr Qin? That’s fine, I won’t bother them."I barely heard their conversation. My focus was on the furious woman I was dragging away.When we reached the bathroom door, she yanked back hard, attempting to free herself. I held firm. She huffed, then twisted sharply, slamming her elbow into my chest and forcing me against the wal

Jian"Jian, what's going on? Are you pregnant?"Director Wang finally snapped out of his shock, his face darkening as he glared at Jian.“Sia, explain what is going on?“It wasn’t easy for Sia to land the role of the second female lead—if she lost it now because of this, what would she do?Sia immediately panicked, shaking her head frantically."I... I... I..."Before she could stammer any further, I grabbed her hand and spoke up."Director Wang, do not worry about it. I had a miscarriage."Sia caught on immediately."Yes, yes! She had a miscarriage because of her career!"James Ferguson let out a cold sneer."Miscarriage?" His voice was laced with scepticism. "When? Which hospital?"His sharp gaze sliced through the room like a knife, making Sia tremble. Under his piercing stare, she was on the verge of tears, her fingers clutching my sleeve."I don't… I don't know you," I stammered, voice weak. "This is a private matter. Why should I tell you? I..."Before it could finish, the produ

ZeldaMy face flushed crimson, a wave of guilt washing over me. I couldn't even bring myself to look at Grandma, her expression a mix of surprise and delight."Grandma," I whispered, my voice barely audible, "I'm so sorry. I knew how much you wanted James and me to have a baby, but I… I still kept it a secret."I was so ashamed, I couldn't lift my head.But instead of scolding me, Grandma pulled me into a warm embrace, patting my back gently."My child," she murmured, her voice thick with emotion. "I’m so sorry… for misunderstanding you."As a woman, she understood. She knew the pain, the disappointment, the deep-seated reasons why I might have kept my pregnancy hidden, choosing to face it alone."Silly child," Grandma said, pulling back to look at me, her eyes brimming with tears. "I’m so happy, so relieved… I don't even have time to be angry! Oh, my goodness… you’re pregnant!"Jus

James frowned, thinking back, and a vague memory of the incident surfaced. He explained, a hint of helplessness in his voice,“ Mr and Mrs Wenger were supposed to meet me there that day for a business discussion. Susan bought the roses for her mother. She had a scratch on her hand, and I simply helped her carry them. Later, my flight was delayed, and I had other commitments, so we didn't end up having dinner. As for her holding my hand… I honestly don’t remember that."He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly."How do you know all this? It’s as if you were there, watching it all unfold."My stomach clenched. Thinking back to that day, all I could see was myself, wandering the streets of a foreign city, lost and heartbroken, crying like a fool. I felt like such a naive idiot, manipulated by Susan's carefully crafted narrative. I didn't want to tell him how devastated I’d been, how much it had hurt.But now wasn’t t
THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET, CHASING AFTER ME Chapter 164 The Denial
SusanHis eyes were like glaciers, and the weight of his gaze pressed down on me, making my face feel clammy and cold. I hadn't expected him to deny it so bluntly. I'd been so sure he'd keep up the pretence, at least until after the baby was born.Hellen spun around, her face a mask of anxious fury."Susan, say something!" she hissed. "Didn't you tell me the child is James's?" She was relying on this too.I swayed, suddenly finding myself unable to feign dizziness or any other convenient ailment under his cold, indifferent stare. I knew he wouldn't tolerate any more of my tricks.My lips were dry and trembling as I looked at Hellen, tears I could force no longer welling in my eyes."I… Auntie," I stammered, my voice barely a whisper, "I never explicitly said the child was Mr. Ferguson's. You… you misunderstood."Hellen's face contorted with rage, a flush rising in her cheeks. She looked at me, at my carefully crafted inn

Susan Wenger hurried to catch up, still clutching the bouquet."Sister, I mean well. It's fine if I don't go into the ward. Just help me take these in as a small token of my appreciation. And… have you asked James about it yet? Is he happy at the thought of our babies growing up together? Actually, I was thinking… wouldn’t it be lovely if my baby could recognize James as his godfather in the future…?"It was like a swarm of flies buzzing incessantly around my ears. That last bit pushed me over the edge. I stopped abruptly, whirled around, snatched the bouquet from her hands, and threw it to the ground.Then, I stomped on it, grinding the flowers into a pulp with a few swift kicks, my eyes blazing at Susan."The flowers are gone," I said, my voice tight with barely suppressed rage. "And you can go too! My husband and I have discussed it. We're planning on having a second, maybe even a third child. That way, our babies will have b

Susan Wenger had a real talent for getting under my skin. Even though I knew her tactics, even though I knew I shouldn't believe a word she said, I still felt a surge of anger.When I pushed open the door to James’s room, my face was set in a frown. He looked up, a faint smile touching his lips, and held out a hand."What took you so long?"I walked over, my expression darkening. Instead of taking his hand, I slapped it hard."James Ferguson," I said, my voice trembling, "you're going to explain to me right now what's going on with Susan Wenger's baby. Or I swear I'll take Little One and leave!" Tears welled up in my eyes.I stood there, hands on my hips, trying to look fierce, like a cornered kitten puffing itself up.James looked surprised. He pulled me into his arms, onto the bed."Who did you see out there?" he asked, his voice gentle. "What happened?""Don't change the subject!" I glared at him.He pursed his lips. "You'll find out about it later," he said.His evasiveness only f

ZeldaI clutched James's angiography film and headed towards the inpatient building. As the elevator doors opened, I bumped into someone.Instinctively, my hand went to my barely-there bump. "I'm sorry," I murmured."Sorry," the other person echoed.I looked up and saw another pregnant woman. She was also cradling her belly. Our synchronised movements created a moment of shared understanding, and we both smiled."You're pregnant too, right?" she asked, her voice warm and friendly.I nodded. "I'm only three months along. I'm not even showing yet. You look like you're five or six months?""Not quite five yet," she replied.I stared at her rounded belly, the size of a small watermelon, a flicker of worry crossing my mind. Why was my "fruit" still just a tiny bean sprout?She chuckled at my expression."You're young, and it's your first, isn't it? Don't let your slim figure fool you. After the first trimester, your belly will pop. It changes every day like a balloon being blown up."I nod

Mortified and annoyed, I pulled away from James, glaring at him. I scrambled off the bed, determined to face the doctors to salvage what was left of my dignity."Wait a minute…" James said, his voice husky."Wait for what?" I snapped. "If I wait any longer, I'll die of embarrassment!" Having the doctors waiting outside was torture enough.But James grabbed my waist, pulling me back against him. "If you go open the door now," he murmured, "we'll be even more embarrassed."He tugged me closer, and I blushed furiously, unable to move, biting my lip."You're injured," I whispered, "why are you still…""The injury isn't there," he replied, a smirk in his voice.He’d just had me on top of him, crying and carrying on. If he hadn’t reacted, there would have been a problem.I was speechless. I tried to cover my tracks, pulling the quilt up and tucking it around him. "You…," I mumbled, turning away, unable to meet his eyes.James looked at my flustered, embarrassed face and cleared his throat.

Zelda"Little one?" James's voice was a low rumble, a flicker of something – amusement? – in his eyes.Even after I practically shoved him away, I couldn't bring myself to tell him. The divorce… leaving… it was all still so tangled in my mind. But now, the word was out. Did it mean things were changing?I nodded, taking his hand and pressing it against my lower abdomen. My own hand trembled."James," I whispered, my voice thick with unshed tears, "Little one is… the nickname I gave the baby. I'm… I'm pregnant. Over three months."The words tumbled out, a dam breaking. I’d been so emotional, so terrified. But he deserved to know. Little one’s father. And what if… what if something happened to him? The thought was a shard of ice in my heart.The regret would be unbearable – for him, for the Little one, for me.But then the fear clamped down again. His past words echoed in my ears: Abort the baby if you're pregnant. His coldness… it was a weight on my soul. I watched his face, searching

The scent… it was him.It flooded my senses, a painful, sweet ache. I froze, though. Terrified. I couldn't move, couldn't bring myself to pull away the hand covering my eyes. What if it wasn't real? What if I opened my eyes and he was gone, just a phantom conjured by my own desperate longing? What if this embrace was just another cruel trick my mind was playing?Tears streamed down my face, silent and hot. Soon, his hand was wet. I felt the shift in him, a ripple of something… was it pain? My heart ached with a dull throb. Especially knowing… knowing about the baby. The thought made the fear twist into something sharper, more desperate.His hand moved, so gently, to my shoulders. He turned me, ever so slowly. Then, his fingers brushed my face, wiping away the tears."Zee," he whispered, his voice so soft, so familiar. "Be good, open your eyes. Brother is here. It's okay."I couldn't. My lashes fluttered, more tears escaping."I'm scared," I choked out. "It's… it's all fake. A hallucin
