After all, rising expectations often resulted in greater disappointment, ultimately leading to self-inflicted suffering.

Phoebe swiftly moved to Mila's side after completing the paperwork, clasping her hand tightly for reassurance. "Stay strong, Mila. You and the baby will make it through."

With urgency, the doctor called out, "Get her to the operating room quickly. We need to perform the surgery to deliver the baby…"

As the midwife began to move Mila's bed, another midwife exclaimed, "I can see the baby's head—it's coming out!"

The doctors and nurses surrounded Mila in the delivery room, their faces glowing with hope and anticipation. With words of encouragement, they guided Mila to push.

Phoebe remained by the edge of the delivery bed, her anguish evident as tears welled up in her eyes. "Mila, don't give up," she softly urged. "Both you and the baby will be fine. Hang in there…"

Mila bit her lower lip, fighting against the excruciating pain coursing through her body. Sweat gli

    Nathan's expression hardened as he said, "Avery visits this beauty salon every week, and it's where you were abducted from. Clearly, something is not right with that establishment.""What should we do now?" Fenna asked.Nathan remained silent, wheeling Fenna to the orthopedics department. He handed the report to the doctor and briefed him on the situation.As Fenna received treatment, Nathan exited the room and retrieved his phone from his coat, only to discover it was switched off.After powering it on, he was greeted with a barrage of missed calls and messages. A somber expression fell upon Nathan's face as he examined the notifications.He noticed numerous missed calls from Cole, a dozen from his parents, several from Taylor and Wendy, and one from Phoebe.In addition, there were two missed calls from Mila.At that moment, Nathan's heart felt like it exploded, and he promptly dialed Mila's number.With frustration bubbling inside him, Nathan stormed into the hospital room.

    Wendy chuckled. "That's right, Chubs, no need for tears now. Crying too much might damage your eyes and could even contribute to postpartum depression."Pressing her lips together, Mila forced a smile. "Thank you, Wendy. I'll try not to cry."Wendy encouraged further, "That's the spirit! Premature babies aren't a cause for concern nowadays. With advanced medical technology, they just need a few months in the hospital, and then they'll be ready to come home."I have experience in childcare; I can lend a hand. I'll ensure your baby grows up chubby and healthy."Florence quickly chimed in, "I'll take care of him too. I've raised kids just as well as Wendy. Just consider Nathan, Taylor, and, of course, Daniel…"Patting Daniel on the back, Florence added, "He's as strong as a bull."Caught off guard by the sudden pat, Daniel instinctively covered his chest, looking bewildered.Mila couldn't resist stealing a glance at Daniel. She was moved by his gesture to visit her despite being bl

    At this moment, Nathan realized that he hardly understood Mila's intricate and sensitive thoughts.After all, they had been apart for many years, and their time together had been scarce.Nathan let out a heavy sigh, feeling a weight in his chest as he remained uncertain of how to respond to Daniel's question.Just then, the doctor and nurse exited the ward.As Nathan turned to enter, the doctor intervened, explaining, "I'm sorry, but the patient needs ample rest. She requested that only the maternity nurse remain, while the other family members should return home."Nathan's expression darkened. "But I'm her husband. I should be allowed to stay and assist the maternity nurse in taking care of her."Florence promptly added, "Yes, yes, let my son stay too. It's safer for her to have family around."The doctor observed Nathan closely, examining him from head to toe. "She specifically asked you to handle your own affairs and avoid disturbing her rest."Everyone present was stunned,

    Cole let out a sigh and said, "If there's anything that bothers you in the future or anything you dislike, just tell me directly. And if there's something you like or want, please inform me as well."Phoebe paused, feeling a bit nervous as she swallowed her apple. Her heart started to beat a little faster as she stammered, "Wh-why should I do that?"Cole explained in a sincere and gentle tone, "Men's thoughts are typically straightforward, and we can't always grasp all the nuances of women's feelings. "Those who attempt to decipher every detail of a woman's mind may appear to be love experts, but more often than not, they're simply players."Phoebe blushed, a blend of nerves and curiosity bubbling within her. "Why should I share what I want with you?""Because if you do, I can fulfill your wishes," Cole explained anxiously.Phoebe's nervousness intensified, prompting her to ask once more, "But why do you want to do that for me?"Cole hesitated, his gaze intensifying as he strug

    Upon seeing Phoebe's reaction, Cole was puzzled. "What's wrong?"Phoebe huffed again, expressing her displeasure. "Don't mention that woman in front of me. She's nothing but bad luck, and she makes me sick."Cole approached Phoebe, his tone serious. "Do you hate Fenna?"Given Fenna's attempts to sabotage Mila's marriage and steal Nathan, it was only natural for Phoebe to harbor such intense hatred toward Fenna.Phoebe nodded firmly. "Yes, I hate her. I really hate her."With a hint of nervousness, Cole added, "I can't stand her either, Phoebe."A slight smile played on Phoebe's lips in response.Observing Phoebe's childish reaction and Cole's wavering stance, Nathan couldn't help but wonder if Cole genuinely detested Fenna or if he was simply trying to gain Phoebe's favor.Cole's reassurances eased some of Phoebe's tension. She turned to Nathan, her expression filled with confusion. "Mr. Morrison, who do you think is trying to kill Mila?"In response, Nathan posed a counter qu

    At noon, while tending to Mila, the nurse remarked, "Your husband hasn't taken a break since early this morning. He's been sitting outside."Mila remained stoic, showing no reaction to the nurse's observation.As evening approached, the nurse finished helping Mila with her fourth meal and assisted her with washing up.Unable to contain her concern, the nurse mentioned, "Mrs. Morrison, Mr. Morrison is still outside, keeping watch."Nonetheless, Mila's expression remained unchanged.In the following days, whenever Nathan entered the ward to visit her, Mila would pretend to be asleep.Even if she had just woken up, she would use rest as a pretext to ask him not to disturb her.On the day of Mila's discharge, Vera and Wendy arrived, leaving Nathan with little to do.All he could manage that day was to drive and carry the luggage.The vehicle made its way slowly toward the Morrison Residence.In the empty courtyard in front of the house, Gary called for everyone from the Morrison

    Mila had returned to the Morrison Residence to recuperate.She didn't stay in the master bedroom where Nathan was currently sleeping. She stayed alone in the guest room under the pretext of needing rest.She even arranged for the maternity nurse to stay in the room with her. She did this because she wanted to keep Nathan away.She even had all her meals in the room.Apart from resting, she mostly stayed indoors reading and studying, rarely venturing out of her room.Occasionally, when she did leave her room, it was just to take a stroll in the backyard.Nathan was busy with work. Every time he tried to make time to see her, she deliberately avoided him.She didn't want to meet him, especially not with Fenna around.Out of sight, out of mind; she didn't want to add to her troubles, nor did she want to feel jealous again.Without realizing it, a month passed quietly.The temperature still felt somewhat chilly. But with spring on the verge of arriving, everything began to stir b

    Phoebe stood by Mila's side, scanning the surroundings, even though she didn't know what Mila was up to.But after years of being Mila's personal assistant, she knew she had to be on a lookout.Seeing no one around, Phoebe glanced down at the display screen Mila was busy operating.It was then that Phoebe noticed Mila had logged into her hacker account from several years ago.Mila had studied engineering and chemical manufacturing. Proficiency in computer programming was essential for chemical weapons manufacturing, so she was also excellent in computer skills.She had a hacker account, but she generally didn't invade other people's computers, let alone showcase her superb skills on the internet.That was why she wasn't even listed in the hacker rankings.After a series of operations, Mila closed the computer.Suddenly, the staff in the building's monitoring room began to panic. They opened the door and said, "Call somebody here to fix it. What happened? Why did the screen go b

    Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

    After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"

    Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

    Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

    "If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

    Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

    Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

    Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

    In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
