That damned Jennifer! How dare she waver between him and Nathan? No wonder she had been so distant and inconsistent with him lately. It turned out she had been indecisive and fickle all along! Maxwell sneered to himself, feeling utterly pathetic. He never received a blessing or present from his parents on his birthday. This year, Jennifer had given him a big surprise!As Maxwell wallowed in his sadness, a gentle voice suddenly sounded, "Maxwell... is that you?" Maxwell was surprised and immediately walked over. "Why are you here? It's late and cold. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Rachel smiled, signaling the caregiver to step aside and let Maxwell take the wheelchair. Maxwell took over the wheelchair and frowned. "Didn't I tell you not to come here?" Rachel bit her lips pitifully. "I haven't given you your gift yet. I just wanted to give it to you on your birthday. Don't worry, I won't let Grandpa see me. I'll... I'll leave now." With that, she pushed a pair of del
Rachel was overjoyed but pretended to be concerned. "Ms. Yale seems to have misunderstood."Maxwell huffed coldly. "Let her. What does it have to do with me?""You're… You're right. You two are through," Rachel reminded him.Maxwell tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stepped on the gaze. After he sent Rachel home, he even took off his coat and went straight to the bathroom to run a bath.Rachel was surprised and delighted by the turn of events. "Maxwell, are you staying with me and the baby tonight?"Maxwell hummed. "You have a prenatal checkup tomorrow. I can accompany you."Rachel was moved. "You remembered my checkup date?"Maxwell apologized, "I'm sorry, I've neglected you and made you sad. But I won't forget the responsibilities I should bear."Whether or not he married Rachel, the child was his responsibility.Rachel was beginning to be grateful that the car accident she orchestrated did not harm the baby in her womb. Otherwise, she would have no ties to Maxwel
Seeing Jennifer's shock, Nathan explained, "I'm not in the best condition today, and I'm afraid there might be issues during surgery."He studied Jennifer's dark circles. "You didn't rest well either, did you?"Jennifer didn't know how to respond. Last night was the most peaceful night during her shifts, yet she couldn't sleep. As a result, she had dark circles under her eyes and looked exhausted.Nathan seemed to conclude something and told her, "After we finish rounds, you should go back and rest. However, I hope you can distinguish between your work and your personal life. Don't bring your personal issues to work, understood?"This was not only for Jennifer but also a reminder to himself. Changing surgery schedules at the last minute was something he had never done before. Nathan used to be very disciplined. He disliked this version of himself.Jennifer nodded guiltily. "Thank you for the reminder, Dr. Lowe. I affected your rest last night. I won't let it happen again."With
This was like getting a VIP pass!Jennifer got a second wind from the motivation. Instead of resting after her night shift, she took her books and revision materials to the study.She finally realized that her life didn't revolve around Maxwell. She had dreams and a career now. Also, she found peace between the pages of books.With this, Jennifer immersed herself in her studies for the next few days, forcing any sad thoughts out of her head.She didn't see Maxwell during this time, and Robert said he went on a business trip.Jennifer wondered if Maxwell was really on a business trip or if he was purposefully avoiding her.…Rachel was on cloud nine for the past few days.Maxwell stayed with her every day, and her prenatal checkups went smoothly. The only thing keeping her on edge was Jennifer. Rachel remembered Jennifer was still hanging around Robert. And with her still in the picture, Rachel could never win Maxwell's heart.So, Rachel told the caretaker to take her on a st
"Mr. Lance Senior has been hospitalized for a week, and Jennifer and Maxwell have been caring for him." Rachel got a hold of Lorraine's weakness. "Do you know what this means? Maxwell might take Mr. Lance Senior's inheritance for himself without your knowledge, and you and your son will be left with nothing!"Lorraine's heart dropped. Rachel's words were her worst nightmare. Her arrogance was replaced by hesitation. "Did… Maxwell tell you this?""So what if he did?" Rachel sneered. "You can't even protect your son. Do you want to go against Maxwell yourself? With his temper, I doubt he will give you anything even if you did."Lorraine grew anxious and yelled, "Why did you find me? Are you going to offer your help? Well, what's your condition?"Rachel smirked. "I like you. You're a smart woman. It's simple. Maxwell forbade me from telling Mr. Lance Senior about the child to avoid riling the old man. But I'm sure you know Mr. Lance Senior would want to have a great-grandson on his de
However, Zachary and Lorraine feigned innocence and hid their intentions.Lorraine also asked worriedly, "Zachary's right, Dad. What happened? Are you ill? Why were you hospitalized?"Robert couldn't tell if the couple was here out of concern or to gather information about his will. So, he mumbled calmly, "It's no big deal. I'm getting older and was hospitalized to get some needed rest.""I see. That's great news." Lorraine secretly cursed Robert for being sly. But she still said, "Your health is our greatest wealth!"Robert eyed them suspiciously. "Who told you I was here? I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you."Lorraine knew Robert would be suspicious of them and quickly lied, "We went to Lance Manor earlier and the maid told us you fainted a few days ago. Zachary was shocked and quickly ordered his men to find out which hospital you were in. How could we be at ease until we see you are well?"Robert nodded doubtfully. "I'm fine."Lorraine and Zachary exchanged
Lorraine pressed on, using Robert's own words against him.Robert glared at her and wanted nothing more than to chase the killjoy out. But he had to hold it in for now or they would cause a scene at Lance Group if he got in a fight with them.Robert only wanted to keep the two at bay and get rid of any possible obstacles in Maxwell's way, completely handing the company to him. But Robert couldn't help but frown at Lorraine's words. Was Maxwell not on a business trip and instead was accompanying Rachel to her prenatal checkups?Robert was enraged but didn't want his son and daughter-in-law to realize. So, he nodded calmly. "I see. You should go. I'll ask Maxwell when he comes over later. Just leave. The butler will take care of me."But Lorraine didn't want to leave. She feared Robert and Maxwell would think up another scheme and take Lance Group for themselves in her absence.Robert was annoyed and said coldly, "Why are you still standing there?"Zachary and Lorraine had no cho
"Stop right there!" Robert yelled at Maxwell angrily. "Don't try to play dumb with me! Tell me exactly what happened! Did you and Jennifer get a divorce?"Maxwell had been thinking about how to explain things to Robert on his way over. Even now, he couldn't come up with a reasonable answer that would not make the old man furious.He had no choice but to admit, "Yes, we got divorced.""Bastard!" Robert, in a fit of rage, grabbed a glass from nearby and hurled it at him. It hit Maxwell squarely on the forehead. He didn't dodge and let out a muffled grunt of pain. Blood quickly started flowing down his forehead.Robert pointed a trembling finger at him. "Why? Tell me, why would you divorce such a nice girl like Jennifer? Is it because you got that Walker lady pregnant and can't handle the situation? Do you want to bring her into our family?"Faced with Robert's barrage of questions, Maxwell calmly replied, "The divorce wasn't entirely because of Rachel. Grandpa, you always tried to
