Evan was in his room and couldn't hear what Jenny and Alec were talking about, but he could guess from Alec's smile that they were having a good chat. His mood suddenly turned sour."You should rest." Howard didn't know what Evan was thinking, nor could he do anything about it.Evan nodded and got up from the wheelchair to lie down on the bed. Just as Howard was about to leave, he suddenly said, "Set an appointment with Alec to come over tomorrow.""You want to see him?" Howard was puzzled. He didn't think Evan and Alec had anything to talk about.Evan nodded but didn't bother to explain. He was already formulating a plan in his mind. If he wanted to go abroad, he needed a good reason.Howard didn't ask any more questions. All he knew was that Evan had his plans, and he just needed to do as he was told.The next day, Jenny invited Marigold out during her lunch break.Marigold was confused when she received Jenny's phone call as she didn't think she had anything to discuss with J
"Although people may be more accepting of it now, I think children without a father still feel a little sad about it. Have you considered that?" Jenny looked at her. It was a sincere question, with no intention to mock Marigold's situation.Marigold lowered her head, and it was clear that Jenny's words had struck a chord in her. In fact, she was also worried, and she knew what a father meant to a child. But what could she do?If Gilbert knew she was pregnant with his child, he would force her to have an abortion since he loathed her."I went to see my brother yesterday." Jenny finally told her after a long pause.Marigold's eyes widened in shock and then turned to fear. "You...you told him?""Yeah," Jenny didn't deny it. At this point, there was no need to deny it.Marigold was instantly angry. "How dare you tell him without my consent? This is my child, and I'll do what I want with it. It's none of anyone else's business." Even Gilbert had no right to interfere."Aren't you cur
Marigold thought she was about to start anew, but when Gilbert approached her, she realized that starting a new life was harder than she had imagined."Whose child is it?" Gilbert asked her coldly. Although Jenny said he would talk to Marigold for him, he wasn't reassured by how she reacted to the situation. Therefore, he decided to talk to Marigold himself.Marigold noticed the frosty look he was giving her. Feeling a little nervous, she clenched her fists beneath the table. "It's not yours anyway. Why are you so worked up over the situation?""Since it's not mine, why did you lie about it?" Gilbert continued to frown. He had been staring at Marigold, trying to see through her.However, Marigold put up a good fight as she knew that if Gilbert knew the child was his, he would not allow her to give birth to the child safely."At first, I thought of using the child to tie you down, but after Jenny talked to me, I knew that it wouldn't work, so I stopped lying," Marigold said with a
After Gilbert left, Marigold remained there. There was a warm sensation on the back of her hand, and when she lowered her head to look, she realized that it was her own tears."Why are you crying? What's there to cry about?" she muttered to herself, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes and putting on a smile. Aside from her child, there was nothing in the world that deserved her attention and energy. She lowered her head and caressed her stomach. "My child, from now on, you will be my rock."She was already looking forward to the birth of her child. Even if she encountered many criticisms in the future, she would not be shaken.When Alec returned home from work, he was surprised to see Howard waiting for him at his door. "Mr. Faust, Evan would like to see you."Alec glanced at Evan's house and frowned. "Must I visit him just because he wants to see me? Who does he think he is?"Howard didn't stop him from leaving. He merely said, "Evan said that if you want him to a
To Alec's surprise, Evan began to resist as soon as they left the room, which was strange because he didn't try to resist him in the study. "Alec, do you think I will go to the hospital with you? Don't even dream about it," Evan said with a cold sneer before lying down in the corridor.Despite that, Alec was determined to drag him to the hospital. He wanted to see how Evan could spin another lie when Jenny was informed of his lack of injuries. However, Evan refused to stand up, so Alec pulled him up and dragged him downstairs.Since Evan couldn't beat him, he had to bring him to the hospital no matter what he said.After struggling to drag the person to the stairs, when Alec was about to continue dragging him down, Evan suddenly laughed.It stunned Alec, who was busy dragging him across the floor. Puzzled, he commented, "You really are something else. How can you manage to laugh in this situation?""Alec, did you know why I called you here?" Evan looked at him calmly, without any
Jenny hurried toward Howard and looked at the unconscious Evan. Confused, she asked, "What happened to Evan?""Alec pushed him from the top of the stairs!" Howard answered, looking at Alec directly.Alec was exasperated but managed to speak before Jenny could say anything. "I'm taking him to the hospital.""No thanks! I don't trust you," Howard said, refusing his offer. Turning to Jenny, he asked, "Miss Walter, can you please take us to the hospital?""What are you waiting for? Let's go!" Jenny answered anxiously. Evan was already unconscious, yet they were busy arguing.Jenny led Howard out of the villa, and Alec followed behind them. "Which hospital are you taking him to?""Bardoff Hospital, of course! It's the closest hospital." After all, Jenny worked there.Alec frowned as realization struck him. "No! Let's go to another hospital.""Are you trying to kill him?" Howard would not allow Alec to take Evan to another hospital. They had their people stationed at Bardoff Hospital
An hour later, the lights in the emergency room turned off, and a doctor walked out of the room. "The patient's life is not in danger, but the condition of his lower limbs is more severe than before," the doctor announced solemnly.Upon hearing that, Jenny felt uneasy. "Is there still a chance for recovery?" she asked.Glancing at her, the doctor didn't give a clear answer. "It's hard to say. It's not very likely right now, but it's not impossible. Miracles can happen in this world." Jenny didn't ask further, knowing the possibility of a miracle happening was slim.…Evan was transferred to a hospital ward and woke up shortly after. When he saw Jenny, he smiled at her. "I'm sorry, Jenny, for making you worry.""Evan, I'm sorry," Jenny apologized, unable to meet his eyes. If it weren't for her, Evan would have been able to resist Alec. If it weren't for her, Alec wouldn't have deliberately made things difficult for him, and this wouldn't have happened.Seeing her feeling so up
"Alec, I know maybe you didn't mean to, but it doesn't change what happened. You haven't even asked about Evan's condition once. Aren't you too heartless?" Jenny asked, casting him a look heavy with disappointment. Alec hesitated. Jenny's disappointed gaze delivered a blow to his heart. "Jenny, since I know his injury is fake, why would I bother asking about his condition? Nothing will happen to him."Jenny walked away and entered Evan's house. She didn't want to talk to Alec anymore; she just wanted to calm down."Jenny, I'm telling the truth. Evan's leg injury is fake. He can even stand up like normal," Alec said, trailing behind her. He had to convince Jenny to bring Evan to another hospital for an examination."Enough!" Jenny shouted. "I've seen the surveillance footage. You dragged Evan out of the room. Even if his injury is fake, must you pick on and bully him?"Jenny considered it bullying. Having watched the surveillance footage in which Evan had been completely defense
