Back in the ward, Xavier reached his hand out toward Yvette. She habitually placed her hand on it. "Does your head still hurt?""Not anymore," he said. "But I still need a hug."She sat on the bed and hugged him. "Let me know if I accidentally touch your wound.""I know. I'm not that dumb," he said with a smile. He hadn't felt so blissful in a long while. They hugged each other for a long time and weren't even done when someone opened the door from outside."Why are you hugging Mom when you're an adult, Dad?" Upon hearing the adorable voice, Yvette looked toward the door. Then, she saw Noah standing there, with Ray holding his hand.Noah was stunned. "Mom, you two are too evil! How could you secretly hug each other at the hospital and send me to school on a holiday?"When Yvette returned to her senses, she immediately let Xavier go."About that…" She didn't know how to explain it. Noah looked into her eyes like he had seen through everything. "I guess I really am an accident
It turned out that Jeana was only acting as a messenger. After hearing the message, Yvette said, "Tell Xavier about it yourself."Jeana didn't think it was a big deal and slowly entered the ward. However, after a while, she looked devastated. When Yvette returned to the ward, Noah was sitting at the side, feeling bored."Noah, your dad needs to rest. So, let's go home now and stop disturbing him, alright?""Alright." He had only come there to see what was up with Xavier, so he'd really felt bored staying there the whole time. He figured it would be better for him to go home and start streaming.Hearing that they were leaving, Xavier said, "I'm heading home tonight as well."His wounds had been stitched up, and it wouldn't be a problem as long as he didn't do anything too intense."But what about your wounds? Will you be alright?" Yvette was slightly worried."Don't worry. I'll be fine. Tristan has said that I'm not in danger anymore." After saying that, he added, "I'm planning t
Once the call ended, Tristan finally felt relieved. He asked Kiki, "Where shall we go later?"She was feeling lazy and didn't feel like moving too much. "Let's just go to a mall nearby. We can have a meal and rest there. If Grandpa asks about it, we can just say we're watching a movie. What do you think?"Although Tristan didn't really want to do it, that was the best thing they could do. So, they went to the mall together.At that moment, there were a lot of people at the mall. Kiki had accidentally bumped into Tristan and fell into his embrace multiple times because there were too many people shoving around. So, he had no choice but to protect her."What's so fun about this place anyway?" He didn't understand the appeal of the mall at all.Since they were already there, Kiki figured they wouldn't know where else to go if they left just like that. She noticed there was a seafood restaurant that specialized in grilled fish nearby. There wasn't a long line there either."Let's go
"Where are you going?" asked Tristan.When Kiki noticed that he was no longer on his phone, she said, "Don't you see the guards are telling us to get out?"He helplessly said, "They're just telling everyone else to get out, not us."She was a little confused, so she listened to his explanation. "I just called the person in charge of the mall earlier. I told him to escort every irrelevant person out of the building," he said.At first, he hadn't cared about whether there were a lot of people. However, after seeing Leonard and Camila, he'd had the urge to chase everyone out.Kiki finally understood what he had done and thought it sure was great to be wealthy. Since Tristan had made everyone leave the mall, he'd have to take care of every bill in the mall, and that couldn't be cheap."Man, what a waste! You could've just given me the money…" she mumbled to herself.Tristan didn't hear what she said and asked, "What are you mumbling about?"She immediately shook her head. "Nothing.
After they packed their bags, they went to Lane Mansion together.It was livelier than ever at the mansion that day. It would never be quiet at a wealthy family's house, especially on a holiday. Even Jeana, who hadn't recovered fully yet, was there as well. She was chatting happily with Clifford. Shannon and Zoey were welcoming the guests, and Gemma was there too. When some of the people who knew Gemma learned about Zoey's pregnancy, they said to Shannon, "Madam Shannon, since Zoey's already pregnant, when is she getting married to Jerry?""Yeah! Have you decided on a date?""Once you have, remember to tell us about it! That way, we can prepare the gifts in advance."Hearing everyone asking about Jeremiah's wedding, Shannon was a little frustrated. She'd talked to him about it as well. However, he'd said he'd prepare for it and told her not to worry about the wedding. So, she'd stopped urging him."It's still up to Zoey and Jerry. They can decide when they want to have the wed
After Yvette took a seat with Noah, they waited for Xavier's return. However, she didn't expect Zoey to approach her with a few cousins from the Lane family. They were all around the same age.Zoey sat next to Yvette on purpose. "Yvette, why are you and Noah sitting in such a secluded corner? I thought you weren't coming."The others took a seat as well, and one of them said, "Yvette, is this your son with Xav? He's adorable! But I've heard that he's terribly sick. What kind of sickness does he have?"They wanted to bring up things that would upset Yvette, so they would use all the ammunition they had.Before Yvette could say anything, someone else said, "I've heard about it from Grandpa before. I think it's leukemia.""What? Leukemia? Isn't it a terminal disease?" another person said loudly."I think so. It's uncurable."They all took turns to say something to provoke Yvette on purpose. She clenched her fists tightly. Noah's illness was the biggest regret she had in her life. W
Shannon was stunned. She couldn't believe someone would dare to say that about Noah.None of the women gathered there knew how to explain themselves. After all, all they'd said was that leukemia was incurable. They'd never said that Noah didn't have long to live. However, Noah was great at acting. He hugged Shannon and said, "Grandma, am I going to die soon? I don't want to die yet!"As he spoke, tears began to roll down his face. If Yvette hadn't known the truth, she would've been tricked by him as well. At that moment, she realized that he was actually quite smart."Oh, why wouldn't you live a long life, my dear child? I'm sure you'll live until you're at least a hundred years old!" Shannon bent down to wipe his tears before coldly looking at the others there. "Which one of you cursed my grandson? Speak now!"At that moment, Zoey wanted to hide badly. The other women were afraid of Shannon as well, and they were trying to avoid her gaze.Suddenly, one of them boldly said, "A
Seeing that Clifford wanted to protect Jeana, Xavier was at a loss for words. "They're mine."Clifford threw his cane at Xavier, and it almost hit the latter's body. "So, you're still unwilling to tell me the truth at this point, huh?"Since it had come to that, Xavier had no choice but to tell Clifford about the crisis they had been in the other day. He also told Clifford how Yvette had done everything she could to buy more time. After Clifford heard the story, he was stunned. He didn't return to his senses for a long time."Does that mean that everything Yvette said was fake?""Of course. Why wouldn't I know whose children she's carrying when they're both mine?" Xavier answered with another question.Hearing that, Clifford could finally relax. "So, that's why! Oh, Jeana… Why didn't you get to the bottom of it first before spouting nonsense to me?"As Xavier had expected, Jeana was the one who'd told Clifford about it. When he heard her name, his gaze turned cold.Clifford
