In the end, Liam was too eager to do this. Blake also did not know when Liam had made the invitation.The next day, Blake met Cecilia at her office at Jardin Corporation. After she had decided to go along with Cecilia's wishes and started going out with Liam, she had informed Cecilia about it. Cecilia heard this and was pleased.Naturally, Cecilia hoped Blake would become Mrs. Xander as soon as possible. That way, Cecilia could push for Julian Xander to become the mayor without any worries. Liam could take the position of general secretary soon, too."I've already done as you've told me to. Are you going to do as you promised and not hurt Madelyn?" Blake asked her.Cecilia smiled and stared at her. She replied, "Of course, as long as Madelyn doesn't appear in Ventropolis, I'll forgive what she's done in the past. You'd better hope she never appears before me again."Blake shouted, "In the end, you still want to go against her. You're a liar."Cecilia slammed the table and suddenl
Blake did all she could to try and track down the person who had taken Madelyn away. She requested leave from work from Liam. Liam initially wanted to accompany her, but Blake refused.Based on an address given to her, she eventually arrived at a medical research institute. She saw security guards standing outside. Unless someone walked out, no one from the outside could enter. Blake took out a name card and passed it to the security guards.Unexpectedly, they would warn her with a severe expression, "The person you are looking for isn't here. I'm warning you: leave now, or we'll call the cops. We'll sue you for disturbing the peace and obstructing official business."Anyone present here had a certain level of status. Blake did not dare forcefully break in. As she turned around, she slapped her forehead in regret. She mumbled, "Blake, how could you forget about this. Liam is the son of the mayor. He could solve this with just a phone call. Why didn't you let Liam join you? How could
'How come?' Blake thought.Blake knew she remembered correctly since she dirtied her dress the last time she was at the banquet. She had borrowed Lana's skirt, and that was three years ago. Lana must not have recognized her.Blake immediately regained her senses and asked, "Dr. Stewart, where are you going? I drove my car here today. Why don't I give you guys a ride?"Lana wanted to say something but was brought away from Kai by the guards. Kai did not even want to bother with her."She looks like she's looking for you. Why don't we ask what she wants?" As Lana finished speaking, she felt a huge pain coming from her abdomen. She screamed, "Ah! My belly!""Andrew, I feel like I'm going to give birth soon! My belly hurts!" Lana shouted.Kai saw the fluid flowing between Lana's legs and panicked. Suddenly, he heard the sound of wheels screeching as Blake suddenly drove her car over and told him, "Dr. Stewart, get her in the car quickly. I'll send you to the hospital."Kai had no ch
The lights at the end of the corridor flickered. Blake and Kai were sitting on the hospital bench when she asked, "If I come clean to you later, will you help me, Dr. Stewart?"Coincidentally, a nurse came out of the delivery room and told Kai, "Dr. Stewart, your wife's cervix has opened around four centimeters. She should be in labor at five in the morning."Kai stood up and nodded, "Okay. Thank you very much."The nurse gave him some simple instructions since everyone at the hospital knew Kai was famous in the medical field and that he worked at a medical research institute. Every doctor wanted to become as brilliant as he was.Then, the nurse left. With their previous conversation interrupted, Blake pursed her lips and struggled to restart it. After she saw Kai walk in, she had no choice but to wait outside. Kai saw Lana lying on the bed and started coaxing her gently.At that very moment, Blake completely recollected who this woman was. She was the wife of the Stewart family's
Kai shook his head and did not explain anything further. He could only deduce that because Zach had committed so many evil acts toward Madelyn throughout his life, this was the only way for him to make her have a change of heart. However, it was wrong for him to gamble it after all that scheming; she would not come back just because he gambled off his life.Since that was what Zach owed Madelyn, only he could repay his debt; no one could interject in it. There was an insurmountable chasm between them. Regardless, the Jardin Corporation had nothing to do with Kai. Ultimately, taking in Cecilia was Zach's choice.Blake said Cecilia had found where Madelyn was staying, but that was impossible. If Madelyn had not shown herself, even Kai would not have known where she was. Unless she came out herself and accepted Zach, no one would be able to find her.'Everyone has their regrets anyways,' Kai mused.On the other hand, Blake drove and passed through the city. She managed to buy pastina
Blake thought, 'The person Cecilia is afraid of? Her Achilles's heel?'She might not know Cecilia's weakness, but she knew who could really get under her skin. There was this saying that everyone had one. And for Cecilia, the only person who could keep her in check was Zach.Blake stood by the open door, bowed in gratitude, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Stewart. I have an idea of what to do now."Kai walked to the bedside quietly. Seeing Lana was about to wake up, he gently held and coaxed her.Lana asked, "What's wrong?"Kai smiled, "Nothing. Go back to sleep."His gaze deepened as he stared at the illuminated desk lamp, 'Zach, I know you wouldn't back yourself into a corner. Actually, you've orchestrated all of this. Regardless of Cecilia or Madelyn, it's all within your plan. Otherwise, why would I say you're cunning?'Kevin was indeed a part of your plan, a pawn in it. However, you've put all your chips on Blake this time. She's the crucial piece, isn't she? The beginning of tha
"No worries. I can think of other ways to help you. If we get married, I could... I checked out rings when I was at the mall today. I don't know if you'd like it or not." Liam took out a black velvet box from his pocket. When he opened it and took out the ladies' diamond ring, he did not hear Blake's response; only her steady breathing was heard in the quiet room.He stood up quietly from the sofa and knelt in front of her. Blake remained undisturbed. Deep affection filled his gaze as he took out the ring, "I know I might be taking advantage of the situation, but I've had enough of waiting. Blake, no matter what happens in the future, I don't want you to divorce me so easily."It was Liam's selfishness. Indeed, the thought of divorce had never crossed his mind since Blake proposed marriage.Liam lifted Blake from the sofa, walked into the bedroom, and helped her out of her shoes and coat. He then covered her with a blanket, making her roll into the covers, adjusting herself to find
While Liam was driving Blake back to the office, she closed her laptop and put it in her bag. She said, "Just drop me off at the subway station. I might need to go somewhere else later."Liam asked, "Where do you need to go? I can give you a ride."Blake pursed her lips, hesitated briefly, and said, "It's okay. I'm just going to buy something. I'll return to the company in a bit.""Okay." Liam went along with her decision without asking any more questions. He stopped the car at the subway's entrance, and Blake got off without a backward glance. She hurried into the subway station, unaware of the hurt in Liam's eyes caused by her distrust.SereneCare Hospital was completely under Cecilia's control. Blake approached the front desk and said, "Hello, I'm a staff member of Jardin Corporation. I'm here to visit Mr. Jardin. Here is my employee badge; you can take a look."The two people at the hospital front desk exchanged glances. They shook their heads and said, "Did you make an appoin
