Ross said in shock, "What? Does Tobias have an illegitimate child? Is this true?"Joey's eyes flickered as she said, "It doesn't matter if it's true. No one can tell what's true and what's not on the internet, as long as I get the results I want!"Ross said, "What do you want to do?"Joey said, "Dad, why don't you…"Joey explained her diabolical plan. A proud look appeared on Ross' face as he listened. "Okay, I'll do as you say. If something goes wrong with this plan, I will never visit you again!"Ross said his piece and left the police station. When he reached the door, he bumped into someone. Ross rudely said, "Watch where you're going!"He growled. When he saw the man in a police uniform, he guiltily scurried away. Miles straightened his jacket. He glanced at Ross and frowned, saying, "Why is he here?"A police officer said, "Cap, he came to visit Madam Joey."Meanwhile, Faith, who now wore casual clothes, walked toward the door. Then, she bumped into Miles. "Mr. Chadwick
Sasha said, "Where are you, Lucy? I'll come and get you.""196, Route 216."Lucy sent her location to her conversation with Sasha. Sasha replied with an "okay" emoji. Soon, she drove to Lucy."Get in the car, Lucy." Sasha wore a pair of sunglasses. She looked incredible and gorgeous.Lucy got into the car and sat in the passenger seat. "Why did you invite me to lunch all of a sudden? Do you not have a date with Brett?"Sasha's hands that held the steering wheel stiffened. She explained, "We broke up."Lucy couldn't believe how quickly that had happened.She said, "Did Brett mistreat you, Sasha? I'll teach him a lesson."Sasha said, "Don't. We agreed not to tell anyone about this. Plus, I've mentally prepared for this. I don't feel sad about it."Lucy had a look of disbelief. "Oh, is it? It's so cloudy outside. Don't you think your sunglasses are a hazard in this weather?"Taking advantage of the traffic light, Lucy took Sasha's sunglasses off. Sasha shouted. "Lucy! Give me my
After having lunch with Sasha, they busied themselves with what they needed to do. Sasha was busy packing her luggage, ready to go overseas. Lucy returned home and performed a second round of acupuncture on Lisa.After more than two hours of acupuncture, Lucy said, "Mom, we're done with the acupuncture for today.""Thank you for the trouble, Lulu," Lisa held Lucy's hand and said gently."Mom, why aren't Brett and Rhett back yet?""They are probably busy with work. Do you need to talk to them, Lulu?"Lucy nodded. "Yes.""If it's urgent, you can look for him at his company. I'll ask the driver to bring you there.""Okay, Mom. You've just completed a round of acupuncture. Lie down and rest for a while."Lucy guided Lisa to the sofa and laid her down. She covered Lisa with a blanket. "Go on with your day, Lulu."Lucy smiled slightly. "I'm taking off now, Mom."Lucy left. Suddenly, a ring of light flickered before Lisa's eyes. Lisa blinked and shook her head. The ring of light dis
The sudden news made Brett feel like the ground had shifted beneath his feet, unraveling his reality instantly. He was completely caught off guard.He covered his face in frustration, and his heart was in disarray. He couldn't make a decision. Lucy noticed his frustration and patted his shoulder.She sighed and comforted, "Brett, I know this matter came too suddenly. It must be difficult for you to accept it."Lucy remembered how she reacted when she found out Kate was Tobias' daughter. It was no different from how Brett was now.Lucy felt a tinge of pain in her heart. She said, "I was like this when I received shocking news too. When I found out about it, I cried for a long time. I took two days to calm myself down. Now, I've started to handle the matter better."Lucy suggested, "You should take some time off to cool down, Brett. You can decide what to do with Maya once you've collected yourself. Okay?"Brett knew Lucy was consoling him. He nodded and said gruffly, "Okay. Give
Lucy guided Lisa to the bed and covered her with a blanket."Rest well, Mom.""Lulu." Lisa held her hand and asked, "Where did you train medically?"Lucy said, "Mom, I learned it from my mentor but wasn't interested in medical studies. My mentor forced me to learn it, so I learned a thing or two."Brett and Rhett looked at each other, flabbergasted. Lucy was being too humble. She could cure an illness that had been around for decades in a few days. She would be a miracle doctor if word got out. Yet, she said it was only a thing or two that she learned.Lisa remarked, "Lulu, being too humble is also prideful. You are so skilled medically. Treating your infertility should be a piece of cake."Lucy blushed and said, "Mom, I'm not being prideful. I'm telling the truth. My mentor forced me to take medical studies. My theoretical knowledge of the subject is poor. If I want to treat my infertility, I would need to flip a book for reference from my mentor."Lucy appeared humble, but n
Lucy fell into a deep slumber. She wouldn't have woken up if Lisa didn't enter her room to call for her.Lisa said with concern, "Lulu, are you exhausted? You've slept the whole afternoon. How are you going to sleep tonight?"Lucy's voice was fragile, barely carrying any strength. "I'm okay, Mom. I think I've caught a cold. I feel weak and tired."Lisa said, "I've asked someone to get some medication for your cold. You should come and have dinner. Once you have food, you can sleep after taking the medication."Lucy thought about it and nodded. "Okay."Lucy held Lisa's hand and said gently, "Mom, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make dinner for you."Lisa held her hand and said, "You have a cold now. I couldn't bear to let you make dinner. I'll ask the helper to prepare our meal. Why don't you watch TV with me in the living room?""Okay."Lucy and Lisa sat on the sofa in the living room while the helper prepared their dinner in the kitchen. The current trending family drama
Lisa knew Lucy was infertile, but after witnessing Lucy's exaggerated reaction to meat, she was convinced Lucy was pregnant."Lulu, why don't we get you checked at the hospital?"Lucy thought Lisa was overthinking it. She went to prison to ask Rosa. Rosa mentioned that Lucy would never get pregnant again after consuming the infertility drug, so Lucy thought she must have gotten a cold.However, Lucy didn't want to upset Lisa and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Don't forget that I know medicine. If I'm pregnant, I will surely be able to know from my pulse." Lisa thought about it and said, "You're right. Remember to check your pulse after dinner."Lucy hummed in assent. She held Lisa's hand and said, "Mom, let me bring you to the dining room."Lucy guided Lisa to the dining room. When she saw the food on the table, she lost her appetite. Then, she received a call from an unknown number.Lucy hesitated for a moment and answered it. "Hello.""Hi, is this Mrs. Ripley? I'm Avery. Mr. R
Millie cooperated with the hospital staff and allowed them to get a blood sample from Kate again. Lucy passed Tobias' blood sample to the doctor. When everything was done, it was slightly past 9:00 pm."Please return to collect the DNA report in ten days," the doctor said.Lucy looked at Millie, who looked down. Lucy said, "Thank you for the trouble, Ms. Robertson. I'll ask Avery to send you home."As Lucy spoke, they arrived at the entrance of the hospital. Avery was waiting for them by the car.He opened the car door. "After you."Millie felt awkward. "It's okay. We can call a cab. There's no need to trouble you, Mrs. Ripley."Lucy didn't insist and said, "Sure." Then, she got into the car, and Avery drove away.As Lucy left, Millie stared at her car blankly. Kate remarked, "Mom, Mrs. Ripley isn't as fond of me anymore since everyone knows I am Mr. Ripley's daughter."Millie rubbed Kate's head and smiled wryly. "Let's go."Who would treat an illegitimate child well? Lucy did
