To Valeria's surprise, Hayden didn't make things difficult for her at all. They had small talk, and Hayden soon left the ward with Lucas when it was getting late. Valeria saw them off at the elevator and after watching Hayden enter, she returned to the ward. She was relieved by Hayden's easygoing manner, but at the same time, she was worried about William as he had a headache because of her again. As she thought about this, Valeria picked up her phone and sent a message to William. "Baby, are you alright?" It was afternoon now in New York, so Valeria did not expect William to reply to her immediately as he might be busy. However, William replied soon. "Can I see you? Let's have a video chat!" Then, as Valeria answered his video call, William's handsome face appeared on the screen. She was so excited to see him that tears filled her eyes involuntarily. Looking at her tearful eyes, William couldn't help but reach out to touch her face on the scre
Natasya's heart skipped a beat when she saw Valeria's photo. Sure enough, Angel had known that William's illness was due to Valeria's existence. However, she pretended to be innocent, "She's my cousin. What's wrong with it?" "Your cousin, huh? I heard that she's William's girlfriend and not you. Can you explain?" Angel asked aggressively. "There's nothing to explain. This is between William and me. It has nothing to do with you, does it?" "You're wrong! He is my only cousin and the woman he marries must be approved by our family. How could you take away your own cousin's partner? How could I let such a shameless b*tch like you marry my cousin? I must tell grandpa and grandma what you've done." Natasya was trembling with anger at Angel's words. "Are you out of your mind?" "You're the one who's out of your mind! You b*tch, I'll expose you to everyone!" As Angel was cursing, Deborah pushed the door and came in. She asked, "What's going on here?" "
Deborah told the bodyguard to drive her home after leaving the hospital. Soon, she headed to the study room when she got home and said to Fandrey, "Dear, Natasya has just fallen ill in the hospital. She was in so much pain, and it made me think of William." "What?" Fandrey was surprised and asked, "What did the doctor say?" "The doctor couldn't find the reason and reckoned that it might be because of the fever. I watched her carefully back there. She seemed to be in pain and was drenched in sweat. Could she have drugged herself too when she drugged William?" "How is that possible?" Fandrey shook his head and said, "She drugged William to gain control of him. Why would she be foolish enough to drug herself as well?" "But judging by what I saw, it's impossible that it was due to a mere fever. I'm just wondering if she got a taste of her own medicine after drugging William. After all, he doesn't listen to her even after he was drugged and does not seem to lik
William was lost in thought while Deborah had come in again and brought him a plate of fruits. She then said, "I've already booked the ticket. William, you should inform Miss Anderson about it." "Don't worry about it!" William led her to sit down and asked, "Grandma, can I ask you something? Do you know what women like?" "Women normally fancy flowers, perfumes, or bags." Deborah paused for a moment and asked, "Are you looking for a gift?" "Yes." "Who are you planning to give it to? Natasya?" "Nope," William shook his head. "Who is it, then?" Deborah was very curious about it. "I just happen to meet this woman on the internet." As long as it was not Natasya! Deborah let out a sigh of relief but was then clouded with concerned thoughts again. William was behaving like he once had before he lost his memory and Deborah was worried about what would happen if he continued to date models and celebrities. She sighed and said, "William, you
Deborah knew what he meant and informed a servant to book the tickets. A few minutes later, the servant then replied, "The flight tickets have all been sold out and we can only wait for the next flight now." Natasya was anxious upon hearing this and said, "William, I have to go with you. I'm really worried about you! You have amnesia and you can't remember anyone. What if something bad happens on your way home?" William put on a distressed face and said, "Grandma, how about we swap one of grandpa's men for Natasya?" "No, that won't do." Deborah instantly knew that William was trying to let her be the bad guy. She shook her head and refused, "Those men are assigned to protect you by your grandpa and we can't afford to leave someone out. Will Miss Anderson be able to protect and ensure your safety? Do not make a scene now. Wait for the next flight instead!" Deborah spoke in a stern voice and was not up for any negotiation, so Natasya had no choice but to ret
Valeria was at the hospital and she was heading towards the examination room for a routine checkup with the companion of her servant. The doctor withdrew her blood and began the body checkup. She underwent a blood test, an ECG, a urine test, and finally an ultrasound test. Valeria was lying on the obstetrics bed while the servant stood beside her and observed the ultrasound, which was initiated by the doctor. The servant had no idea what was being displayed on the ultrasound screen and murmured, "Do you happen to know the gender of the baby? I hope that it will be a boy as Sir Hayden would be overjoyed to have a grandson!" The doctor grinned and replied, "We won't know about it yet as she is just pregnant for seven weeks. Besides, the baby would be just as good despite it being either a boy or a girl." "That's true, but it's better for the first child to be a son and the second child to be a daughter." The doctor did not continue the conversation as
Valeria knew that Hayden had arrived upon hearing Lucas' voice and stood up immediately. Hayden marched into the ward with a bright smile. "That is such great news! Haha! I'm feeling over the moon!" Valeria smiled upon seeing Hayden being so ecstatic and offered, "Dad, please have a seat!" "Alright, you shall sit too!" Hayden sat down and said, "Where are the flowers? Put them into a vase and bring in the fruits and desserts as well." The bodyguards that were standing outside swiftly followed his instructions. Valeria was surprised upon seeing a few big boxes of fruits and asked, "Dad, isn't this a bit too much for me?" "Not at all. I've told them to order more for you as the servant informed me that you fancy these. Besides, it's not easy to get these here." "But, I think that's a bit too much! My grandpa had also bought a few boxes for me." Hayden was slightly upset upon hearing it and snapped, "Pfft! Who told him to do so? Does he think that
Valeria widened her eyes and looked at William who was smiling at her lovingly. She said, "Honey?" He remained silent while she rubbed her eyes once more as she could not believe it. Was she dreaming? The dream was surreal and she lightly bit his hand to confirm whether it's an illusion or not. He pulled his hand back and said, "Sweetheart, I'm finally back!" "It's really you!" She instantly got up and gave him a big hug. He reached out and picked her up from the bed. Valeria's petite body was held tightly in his arms. She was overjoyed and stretched out her hand to caress his face and kissed him. The servant and Bobby who were standing at the door immediately turned around and shut the door. William was delighted as he finally got to see his lovely little Val! He did not remember her but adored the skinship between them. He would have gotten rid of others if someone dared to touch his face without his permission. However, he welcomed his lo
On the day of Azalea's recovery, she was escorted out of the hospital by two police officers to wait for her sentence. She was wearing shackles and handcuffs as she walked through the parking lot. She saw Michael with Abbie, who was holding Emma in her arms. Michael was holding Abbie's waist, ready to get into their car. Seeing that Michael had recovered, Azalea was extremely perplexed. She had learned from the police that Leonard's man had tried to kill her to silence her and knew that Leonard was using her, so she did not regret her vicious behavior. Azalea stared at the child in Abbie's arms and Michael as she started to have vicious thoughts. If the one who got injured that day was Abbie, and if Abbie died, everything would be different now, wouldn't it? Michael would be living a life worse than death. His child would not have a mother anymore, and no one could have what she couldn't. She would be satisfied. However, all of this was just her imaginatio
After Leonard's matter was settled, Richard returned to the Clark family. Abbie wasn't asleep yet and was sitting alone in the living room in a daze. Richard walked to her and sat down. Then, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder. "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "I can't sleep. Richard, he... he will be fine, won't he?" "Don't think too much. He will be fine." "I don't want anything to happen to him... Richard, I actually hate him very much and have never thought of being with him again. I have suffered enough! Every time I made up my mind to cut all ties with him, something bad would happen like what happened now. Richard, what should I do?" Richard understood Abbie's dilemma. "Abbie, do you still love him?" "I don't know! I hate him! I hate him so much!" "You can't let him go, can you? You and he broke up three times, but he has always been in your heart." Richard sighed. "To be honest, I don't want you and him to start over again. After
It was late at night in Azalea's ward as she lay on the bed and fell asleep with her eyes closed. Three of Azalea's ribs were broken while one of her hands was handcuffed to the hospital bed. The policeman guarding her felt that there was no way she could escape, so he relaxed his guard. The man who was arranged by Leonard's assistant had been waiting for the right moment in the hospital. Then, they immediately entered the ward and attacked Azalea when they saw that the policeman had left. Just as they covered Azalea's mouth and were about to suffocate her to death, a soft voice could be heard by the door of the ward. "Hey! Are you trying to silence her?" The man turned his head and saw that Bobby were taking photos with his mobile phone while Silas was bent over in laughter. Later, Leonard was woken up at 2 a.m. in the morning when Richard and his bodyguards came to visit him furiously. Leonard had already guessed the purpose of Richard's visit as soon as
It had been two days since Leonard's assistant brought Azalea back to the city and she was specially sent here today to attack Michael. Although Azalea hated Michael, she did love him immensely in the past and she didn't want to kill him. The one she hated the most was still Abbie. She had been overshadowed by Abbie since she was a child and she had never won against her before. It was all thanks to Abbie now that she ended up like this. Michael wouldn't deal with her if it weren't for Abbie, and she wouldn't have been driven to a dead end like this. She was going to die in the end anyway, so she wanted nothing more than to drag Abbie down with her. She knew that she couldn't get close to Abbie. Besides, she also knew very well that Leonard wanted to use her to kill Michael so that he could marry Abbie. Azalea acted as if she had been persuaded by Leonard's assistant to attack Michael, but in fact, her target was Abbie all along. She saw how desperat
Azalea looked up when she heard the voice and met Leonard's assistant's gaze in the car. She stopped crying once he got out of the car. "Miss Clark, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Azalea lowered her head frantically when she saw him, but he said warmly, "Miss Clark, get in the car." She didn't know if Leonard's assistant knew about the murder she'd committed, so she hesitated for a moment before getting into the car. He then gave her a bottle of water and some food. Azalea was famished because she hadn't eaten anything for a few days, so she wolfed down her food desperately. Leonard's assistant had been observing Azalea all this time, and he said once she finished eating, "I know what you've done! The police are now looking for you everywhere." Azalea's expression was filled with panic. "Are you going to hand me over to the police?" "No, I'm here to help you." "How can you do that?" Azalea asked in frustration. "I won't be a
It started to rain again early in the morning, which made the air in the mountains damp and cold. Meanwhile, Azalea lay motionlessly on the messy bed. She could hear the child's wailing from outside while Monthel's mother tried to coax the child. However, there was no sign of it ending even after some time. Monthel's mother started to become angry as well, so she scolded the child and eventually began to target Azalea again. "Why are you still lying in bed at this time? I've never seen someone as lazy as you. A wife should get up early in the morning to cook, but you are the only one who will laze around like this!" This was not the first time that Azalea had been scolded. Monthel's mother had begun to pick on her the second day after she arrived. Azalea would fight back initially, but she no longer dared to talk back after she was slapped in the face by Monthel. Monthel's mother cursed outside for a while. Then, she lifted the curtain and came into the ro
Leonard's expression turned very ugly, but Richard did not give him a chance to even catch his breath. "After I learnt of your relationship with her, I sent someone to extract the DNA of the fetus in Evelyn's belly and compare it with yours. The results show that she's indeed pregnant with your child, but you can verify it personally if you don't believe me." Since Richard dared to say this, there was no possibility for Leonard to turn the tables. The veins on Leonard's forehead bulged as he was filled with humiliation. He initially wanted to get back at Fandrey by asking him to propose the marriage to the Clark family, but she ended up being embarrased like this. He was furious, but Richard continued, "We are very grateful to you for saving Abbie's life. Although she can't marry you, we can continue to be friends if you want to." What could Leonard say? He had done a terrible mistake, so he couldn't possibly tell Richard that he wanted to cut all ties between t
Abbie tried her best to escape, but it was useless. Michael even kissed her on the face a few times, which made her so angry that her voice trembled. "Michael... F*ck you... I'm going to kill you!" Michael turned a deaf ear to her words because he hadn't been so close to Abbie for such a long time. He missed her like crazy, so how could he bring himself to let her go? Abbie kept struggling desperately, but her physical strength was no match for Michael's. Michael then carried her back to the sofa, which made her furious because she couldn't escape. "Michael, what are you trying to do?" Michael did not answer her at all. Instead, he just hugged her so tightly as if he didn't want to let her go at all. He hugged her for such a long time that her whole body had gone numb. "Michael, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I can't move!" It was only then did Michael let go of Abbie. Her limbs had already gone numb and she felt extremely uncomfortable. Just t
Michael happily placed the coffee he ordered for Abbie in front of her. "Here, I've ordered your favourite coffee." However, Abbie sneered and picked up the coffee to splash it all over him. The coffee was very hot, but Michael just smiled bitterly and said, "Do you hate me so much?" "What do you think?" Abbie looked at Michael coldly without any affection in her eyes. "My feelings for you have never changed! What happened between me and Azalea is all fake, and I've never had anything to do with her. The news with Anastasia was also fake. I was the one who used her to provoke Azalea, but Leonard made up those news articles to get back at me. I swear, I haven't been with anyone else apart from you!" Abbie let out a cold laugh, "Really?" "I'm serious! I swear that I'm not lying to you!" "There's no need to swear, or else even you'll beleive your own lies." Michael became desperate when it was obvious that Abbie didn't believe him. "What do I have
