What gave Liliana the right? She was nothing more than an illegitimate daughter, so how could she deserve Sean's affection?The cold surgical instruments stirred inside Liliana's womb. Her entire body convulsed from the pain, but Joanna looked on with sheer satisfaction.Finally, when the child inside Liliana had turned into nothing but a pool of blood, Joanna's gaze turned chilling as she stared at her. "Ha! Liliana, now that the baby's gone, do you think Sean will still marry you?""You lunatic...! I won't let you get away with this. I won't ever let you go."Joanna, still holding the scalpel, slashed another cut across Liliana's face. "I won't let you die that easily. I'll take your child, then destroy your face. Look at yourself. Go on, take a look!"She pulled out a mirror from God knew where and held it up in front of Liliana.Liliana, already in despair, showed no reaction upon seeing the bloodied mess that was her face. The pain in her abdomen was so overwhelming that she

Liliana did not know how long she had been lying on the ground. Just when she thought she was going to die there, a voice suddenly reached her ears. It was so close, yet it felt so far away."Liliana, Liliana!"Sean had felt uneasy all day during his business trip, as if something bad was about to happen. He could not shake the feeling off. However, being away, he had no way of knowing what was going on.When Jasmine called to tell him that Savannah had taken Liliana away, the unease in his chest surged uncontrollably.He had always known Savannah disliked Liliana, but he never expected her to actually take her away.There was no time to catch a flight. Sean drove straight back, speeding for over five hours to return to Brookville. The moment he arrived, he went home to confront Savannah.When he questioned her, he learned that she had handed Liliana over to Joanna. Savannah had reassured him repeatedly, claiming that Joanna was just going to help with the abortion and that, as a

"Sean… promise me… Take revenge for me." Liliana shakily reached out, but before her hand could even touch Sean's face, it dropped lifelessly to the ground."Liliana… Liliana!" Sean shouted like a possessed man. He scooped her into his arms and rushed to the car.In the car, Peter saw the state Liliana was in and froze in shock. "Sean…""Drive. Go to the hospital. Right now! The hospital!" Sean's voice trembled with fear.He was terrified. For the first time, he was truly terrified.Everything Liliana said moments ago echoed in his mind. The look in her eyes, the lifelessness of her body… She was slipping away from him.Sean could not imagine it. If Liliana really left him—if she truly died—what would he do?His entire body trembled as he held her cold, stiff form tightly in his arms. "Liliana… I won't let anything happen to you. I swear, I won't."Peter stepped on the gas. The car roared through the rain. He glanced at the two people in the backseat and quietly shook his head.

"Liliana, you have to get better. When you do, you can do whatever you want, Liliana…"Just then, the door to the hospital room flew open, and a powerful punch landed squarely on Sean's face.He staggered back a step. When the next punch came swinging toward him, Sean caught it in mid-air. "Liliana is sleeping. If you want to hit me, do it outside."Charles lowered his fist, but the fury in his eyes was sharper than ever. "If anything happens to Liliana, don't blame me for forgetting our brotherhood."Sean nodded. "I understand."He had always known what Charles was capable of. "This was my fault. I'll fix it and give you an answer you'll be satisfied with.""Oh yeah?" Charles sneered coldly. "What about Savannah?"Sean's head snapped up. "Charles, she's my mother. If you want revenge, come at me. Kill me, torture me—whatever you want."Charles curled his lips. "You think I won't?""I know you will," Sean said.He turned to look at Liliana lying in the bed. She had not woken

"Mr. Hoffman!"It was Charles Hoffman! However, Liliana was just an illegitimate child. Why would someone as important as Charles be so affected by all of this?Joanna looked up in terror. "No… You can't do this to me. You can't!"Charles gazed at her with cold disdain. "I can't?"He raised his hand. Andrew immediately stepped forward and handed him a dagger.Charles's frigid eyes fell on Joanna. "When you picked up a knife and used it on Liliana, did you ever stop to think you couldn't?""No, you can't treat me this way! What you're doing is illegal! Liliana is just an illegitimate child! She brought shame to your family! I did this for your sake, to help you, I—ah!"Pain exploded in Joanna's shoulder. Charles had thrown the dagger straight into her scapula, and she screamed before immediately passing out.Charles narrowed his eyes. "Wake her up with salt water."His voice sounded like it had come from the depths of hell. He glanced once more at Joanna and gave the order to A

"When do you want to leave?"Liliana's gaze was a little vacant. She did not speak right away.Charles waited for a while and noticed her eyes drifting toward the window. It was already winter, and the air outside had grown colder—just like the chill settling into Liliana's heart."As soon as possible," she finally said softly after a long silence."Alright. I'll make the arrangements to get you out of the country quickly.""Thank you, Charles." Liliana paused. "My mother…""Don't worry. I'll make sure someone takes good care of her.""That's good." Liliana relaxed slightly, then turned her eyes back to him. "Charles, I had a fiancé before… He treated me very well. If anything happens to him, please help him.""I will."Charles quietly listened to her as she gave instructions on a few matters, but he waited a long time without hearing her mention anything about herself."Liliana, Joanna is in my hands now. Do you want to handle her yourself, or…""Charles, let the law deal w

Four years had passed."Mommy, Mommy."Bobby tugged at Liliana's sleeve, noticing she was zoning out again. He reached up with his tiny arms and legs, trying to climb onto her.Before he could get far, a large hand gently grabbed him. Bobby's little hands waved in the air as he called out, "Uncle Charles, Uncle…"Charles chuckled softly, scooping Bobby up in one arm.Noelle walked over just then, and the moment Bobby saw her, he reached out eagerly, ready to leap into her arms. "Aunt Noelle! Aunt Noelle!"Liliana snapped out of her thoughts and looked up in surprise when she saw Charles and Noelle. "Charles, Noelle… What are you two doing here?""We should be asking you that," Noelle replied with a smile, her eyes settling on Liliana's face. "Why didn't you tell us about Bobby's surgery?"Liliana gave a faint smile. "I only got Yankel's call today. He said he's willing to donate his bone marrow to Bobby. But they're still running tests, and I'm worried…"Even though Yankel w
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2092
That afternoon, Yankel showed up as scheduled. Bobby was fast asleep at the time, and Liliana sat quietly by his side reading a book. When she saw how peacefully he slept, a warm smile spread across her face.A knock came at the door. Liliana looked up and spotted Yankel standing at the entrance. She quickly set down her book and stepped out. "Mr. Canfield."Yankel glanced at her, his gaze settling on her calmly. "Thank you for taking care of Bobby during this time, Ms. Hoffman. Is he…""He's asleep," Liliana replied before he could finish. "He was waiting for you earlier, but it looks like you're a little late."She motioned to her wristwatch. "Bobby always naps around this time."Yankel nodded. "Sorry, there were some things at the company I had to finish dealing with…"Liliana nodded in understanding. "Would you like to go in and see him now, Mr. Canfield? Or…""I'll wait until he wakes up," Yankel said, not wanting to disturb Bobby's rest. He then looked at her. "Ms. Hoffman

Liliana turned and saw Yankel looking at her. She felt a bit shy and brushed her hair aside. "Mr. Canfield, let's talk outside," she suggested.Yankel looked at Bobby, who was fast asleep, and nodded. "Okay!"Liliana saw that Yankel needed help, so she gently pushed him out of the room.They did not go far, just out to the hallway outside the hospital room.Liliana paused for a moment before looking at Yankel with a serious expression. "Have you noticed that Bobby seems really scared of Xenia?"Yankel's brow creased as he thought about how Bobby had acted in the hospital room. He stayed quiet."I'm not implying anything bad. I raised Bobby, and he's definitely not scared of me. Mr. Canfield, you saw for yourself that Bobby doesn't push you away," Liliana said, her point clear. There were only the three of them in the hospital room earlier—Bobby could not be afraid of Yankel or Liliana, which left only Xenia.Yankel's frown deepened. "That can't be right. She was the one who su
The Cherished Wife Chapter 2104
Once Xenia had left, Bobby, who had been so tense and frightened, finally let himself relax. Liliana watched Bobby with a hint of doubt, then glanced at Xenia walking away. Her brow stayed knitted with concern.Yankel had no idea what Liliana was pondering. He was just thrilled to have some alone time with his son. This boy was his and Samara's, their only child together. Now, Bobby was his sole focus in life. Yankel could not quite put into words the swirl of emotions he felt.Samara was gone, and Bobby was the last link he had to her.Yankel's eyes, deep and filled with warmth, rested on Bobby. Bobby might not have known Yankel well or felt comfortable around him yet, but he was starting to understand a lot more these days.Liliana had explained to him that Yankel was his real dad. She had gently told him that his real mom was in Heaven, a place of beauty.Bobby was not sure what Heaven was, but he thought it must be a really nice place. Liliana had told him that everyone would

Bobby spoke those two sentences in a very soft voice, leaning in close to Liliana's ear. Neither Yankel nor Xenia could hear him.Liliana's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Yankel and Xenia with a worried look in her eyes.Yankel looked puzzled and a bit mad. Xenia, on the other hand, looked away when Liliana tried to catch her eye, so Liliana could not read her face.Turning back to Bobby, Liliana gently wiped the tears from his chubby cheeks and whispered, "I'm right here. I won't leave you." Then, she turned to Yankel and said, "Mr. Canfield, I'll just stay over here, okay? I promise I won't get in the way of your time with Bobby."Yankel was not happy about it, but he knew he did not have much choice with Bobby being so upset.Bobby was his son, but he had always been with Liliana. She had raised him. Trying to separate them then would probably make things worse.Yankel nodded. "Okay, but it might hold you up a bit."Liliana smiled. "It's no problem at all. It’s my jo

Sean's head was pounding, and his eyebrows twitched with frustration. "Linda, just go away," he said through clenched teeth."I'm going to tell the pretty girl that you're picking on me. What will you do then?" Linda taunted, sticking her tongue out at Sean before dashing off.As Sean watched Linda run away, his headache distracted him from his sour mood over Liliana's rejection.Bobby's surgery had gone really well. Afterward, Bobby and Yankel were taken to a room to rest. Bobby was just a kid, and the surgery had been a lot for him to handle. Liliana stayed right by his side, making sure he was okay.Next door to Bobby's room was Yankel's. Yankel often visited Bobby, and so did Xenia. Liliana could not help but notice that Xenia was pretty crafty. She did not like Bobby at all, but she sure knew how to act like she cared for him. She looked after Bobby so well that anyone who did not know better would think she was the sweetest person ever. However, Liliana knew better. She h

Sean nodded.Liliana's expression turned even more sour. "Even though this is your hospital, Mr. Smith, isn't it wrong for you to listen in on other people's conversations?"Sean's brow furrowed. "I didn't mean any harm, and you know it.""How would I know that?"As Liliana tried to leave, Sean reached out and caught her hand. "Liliana, you must realize that neither Yankel nor Xenia will just let things slide."Liliana scrunched her eyebrows. "And what about it?" She was not without means to handle them, even if Yankel would not back down."Did you ever stop to think about why Xenia is so set on having Bobby return?"Sean looked at her, causing Liliana to pause. "Maybe she's trying to win over Yankel?" she guessed. A scorned woman could do anything, much like Joanna had four years ago.With that thought, Liliana pulled her hand away. "But what's any of this got to do with you, Mr. Smith?"Sean's brow was deeply furrowed. "Liliana, you know I can help you with whatever you wa

In the end, it was Xenia who broke the silence. She looked directly at Liliana and said, "Ms. Hoffman, let's not beat about the bush. How much do you want in order to give up Bobby's custody to Yankel?"Liliana raised her eyebrows, clearly surprised by what Xenia said.Xenia felt uneasy under Liliana's gaze and frowned. "Ms. Hoffman?"Liliana snapped out of her thoughts. "Ms. Bennett, did you not investigate my background before coming here?""What do you mean by that?" Xenia's expression turned unpleasant.Liliana gave a small smile. "I mean, do you really think I'm short on money? Or do you think the Hoffmans can't afford to raise a child?"Xenia's expression shifted slightly at Liliana's words, her teeth sinking into her lower lip. "The Hoffmans…"Brookville's Hoffman family… How could Xenia not know about them? Even her own father had to show Charles some respect.Her father had once told her that if you wanted to survive in Brookville, there were two families you could not

"Liliana, I know the damage I caused is already done, and there's no way to take it back. I just wanted to say this while we're still young and while we still have time. I—" Sean continued."Enough!" Liliana's body trembled slightly. "It's too late, Sean. All of this is already too late."She took a deep breath, and her hands clenched into fists. Maybe it was because Bobby was beside her, but Liliana did not lose control of her emotions. Still, there were tears at the corners of her eyes.Tears gathered in her eyes, and soon, they slid silently down her cheeks. She gave a faint smile."Sean, when something's in the past, it's just that—the past. Regres no longer matter, and time doesn't go backward."You say you've loved me all along, but you didn't tell me. You didn't show it. If you had told me that four years ago, I never would've let your mother take me away. I never would've given Joanna the chance to hurt me."You ask about what could've been? I used to wonder that too. If

When Bobby heard that, his already soft and fair little face became even more adorable. His eyes sparkled with genuine delight."Yes, yes! Mr. Smith, you're so good-looking, and Mommy is beautiful too, so the baby you have together will definitely be beautiful!"Bobby squeezed his own chubby cheeks with his pudgy little hands, then propped his chin up with one hand and added proudly,"The baby will definitely be as good-looking as I am!""Yes, just as good-looking as you are, Bobby," Sean echoed with a smile in his eyes.He glanced at Liliana with a subtle look, only to find that though she was smiling, there was no warmth in her gaze—just coldness.Liliana held Bobby in her arms, her eyes fixed on Sean."Sorry about that. Bobby is still a child. He doesn't understand the meaning behind what he says. If he said anything that bothered you, I apologize on his behalf."With that, she turned and carried Bobby back into the hospital room.There was a fleeting shadow in Sean's eyes,

"Then Mommy, you and Mr. Smith should make me a little sister!"Bobby suddenly seemed to remember something. His big round eyes blinked rapidly while his chubby cheeks turned red. He looked unbearably cute."Mr. Smith?""Yeah, the man who wears white clothes every day! He comes to see me every day, tells me stories, and even plays games with me," he said, counting all the good things about the man in white on his little fingers.Liliana gently held Bobby's small hand. "Bobby, I can't.""Why not? But I really like Mr. Smith," Bobby pouted. He was still too young to understand adult relationships—he simply knew that the man in white treated him well, so naturally, he wanted him to be with his mommy."You don't even know who he is, and you want me to have a baby with him?" Liliana could not help but laugh at how adorable her son was. "Bobby, listen—only a husband and wife can get married and have a baby. Got it?"Bobby nodded, kind of understanding. "Then Mommy, you should marry Mr
