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
Tobias' voice was laced with disappointment. Lucy felt guilty. "Darling."Lucy held her phone and said coyly, "I've overlooked the crucial point of this matter, but I've regained my clarity now. I've been discreetly investigating this. "Any other woman would have flipped out on you if they were in the same situation. You are a gracious and forgiving man. Please don't be angry at me anymore."Lucy hardly acted coy with Tobias. Her voice was sweet and high-pitched, tickling Tobias' ears. Tobias snorted. "No, I'm still furious. If you don't make it up to me when I return, I'll find someone else."Lucy stomped her feet. "Don't you dare!"Tobias snorted. "I'm just teasing you. I wouldn't dare!"He smiled and softened his tone. "I'm hanging up. Get on a video call with me!"Lucy instantly blushed as she recalled what Tobias had said suggestively the last time. She hummed in assent and called Tobias on video. Tobias quickly answered. Tobias was in the car. He saw Lucy through
Hannah Lane?When Tobias heard her name, he instinctively looked at Hannah. Images of Anna surfaced in his mind.However, Anna and Hannah looked nothing alike.After observing her through the rearview mirror, Tobias realized how similar Hannah looked compared to Lucy. If he looked closer, she looked like Lucy's long-lost sister.Tobias frowned, feeling unsettled by Hannah's sudden appearance.However, he contemplated longer. Why would Hannah, a stranger, be unsettling for him? He must have been overthinking it.Tobias drove Hannah to the hospital.After the doctor checked on her, he said, "There is a fracture on the right leg that needs to be cast. We'll remove the cast in a month and check on the condition of the fracture."Hannah said, "Thank you, doctor."After the doctor left, Hannah said, "Sir, you must take full responsibility for the hospital fees. Plus, you need to compensate for the mental distress you've caused me."Tobias was annoyed and said, "You can contact my l
"Get lost!" Brett yelled in fury at Maya's sudden hug.He pushed her away. Maya swayed and fell on the sofa. She held her stomach, looking pale."Maya, you disgust me!" Brett said, "Do you think you can use the baby to enter the Eberhard family? Think again! If you don't get rid of the baby, I'll sue you for plotting against me."Then, he turned, ready to leave.Maya chased after him and hugged Brett's leg, pleading, "Brett, I beg you. I've been convicted. If you sue me, you'll add to the crimes I'm paying for!"Maya cried out, "My hands were tied too. I've been mistreated in the Hudson family, and I did those things because someone forced me to. I only have my eyes for you… I know you don't like me, but I beg you. Please let me keep this baby, okay?"Brett said indifferently, "Get lost! You decided to plot against me because of your own misfortune? Isn't it equally unfortunate for me that you've plotted against me? Why should I pity you?"Brett shoved Maya aside and left. Her f
They arrived at Larkhaven after a day's drive. Then, they spent another half of the day hiking before they arrived at Benedict's house. He was Lucy's mentor.Misty clouds shrouded the mountains. A house sat among the trees like a land one could only see in fairytales. A light floral fragrance permeated the air, bringing a sense of joy to everyone."Mr. Jones!" Lucy shouted. Benedict, who was watering his flowers in his garden, heard her voice and realized Lucy was standing at the entrance of his home with three other people."Lucy!" Benedict greeted her with joy. "I see you've brought your parents."Lucy had previously called Benedict to inform him about her parents' visit, so Benedict was not surprised to see two elderly folks beside Lucy.Lucy nodded. "Yes."Lucy introduced, "Mom, Dad, Rhett. This is my mentor, Benedict Jones.""Mr. Jones. " Lucy continued her introduction. "This is my mom, dad, and brother."She introduced each of them. Benedict sized each of them up as Lucy
