So, how could that be completely different from what Preston told Maxwell?Preston then said, "Didn't your wife tell you? I was worried her frustration might have led to a miscommunication, so I thought it'd be best to explain things to you directly.""Okay, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Gardner," Maxwell replied with a deep frown.After hanging up, he quickly made his way to the hospital where Jasper was admitted.When Rachel saw him, she maintained her composure and uttered with a smile, "Jasper is much better today than he was yesterday.""Step outside with me. I need to ask you something," Maxwell ordered icily.Rachel was momentarily stunned. Despite feeling uneasy, she still followed Maxwell out. As soon as they stepped out of the ward, Maxwell coldly asked, "Why did you lie today? Did Dr. Susan really agree to treat Jasper?"His words made Rachel's expression shift noticeably. With a strained smile, she asked, "D-Did you catch wind of something?""Rachel, I'm the one as
It was not long before Michael got back to Maxwell, informing him that Susan had taken a flight back abroad just 30 minutes ago.Maxwell was extremely disappointed. He hurriedly asked, "When's she coming back? Isn't she working at Haven Hospital now?""She's a specialist that Haven University hired. I've asked around. She only sees patients from Monday to Thursday. Once her hours are over, she heads back abroad without wasting a moment," Michael explained.Frustrated, Maxwell spat, "It's unbelievable how she's so infatuated with a foreign country. She's a Chuelesian! How could she treat another country like it's home?"Michael sighed and remarked, "You'll have to wait until next Monday if you want to see her."…Jennifer caught a night flight back and arrived just before noon.Cassidy and Caleb were overjoyed to see her. They immediately threw themselves into her arms, wanting cuddles. As Jennifer held them close, she felt her exhaustion vanish completely.Cassidy tilted her
Nathan patted Caleb's head and said, "Go play with your sister. I'll make some burritos for you soon. And remember, your mom is resting. Don't disturb her, alright?"Caleb blinked repeatedly. Suddenly, he asked, "Mr. Lowe, are you trying to be our daddy?"Nathan froze momentarily, caught off guard by Caleb's question.In the next instant, he smiled gently, crouched down, and asked earnestly, "Well, Cal, do you like me? Would you like me to be your and Cass' daddy?"Caleb's eyes darted around before he replied softly, "But I still want my real daddy." Nathan felt as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped on him, those few simple words chilling him to the core.Right then, Cassidy chimed in, "Cal, our real daddy isn't around anymore. Mommy told us he's gone to another place."After saying that, she giggled and added in her sweet, childish voice, "I think Mr. Lowe is like Daddy's replacement. He's so nice to us!"Only then did Nathan feel somewhat comforted. At least, Cassidy u
Nathan stared at the woman before him, his heart swelling with gratitude. Jennifer had never been this spirited and radiant before she'd lost her memory."It would be perfect if you could always stay like this," Nathan remarked lightly.Jennifer's smile faltered, and she looked at him with confusion. "What do you mean by that?"Yet, Nathan simply shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I just want you to stay as happy and carefree as you are now."…The time Jennifer spent with her children always felt too short. A few days later, she boarded her flight back to the country. However, the moment she exited the airport, two bodyguards appeared and blocked her path."Excuse me, are you Dr. Susan?""Yes, I am. What is this about?" Jennifer cast a puzzled glance at them.The bodyguards respectfully answered, "Our boss would like to meet you. He has a favor to ask." Jennifer was taken aback, staring at the two strange men before her with a sense of unease. "Sorry, I don't have ti
Jennifer immediately retorted, "It'll be too late by the time I'm hurt! Do I really need to be kidnapped or go missing before you'll open a case?"The police officer could only suggest, "Since you're living alone after coming back from abroad, it's certainly not the safest situation. "You might want to look up some self-defense tips for women living alone online. If an incident like this happens again, make sure to keep evidence and come back to file a report."Jennifer was utterly speechless. How was she supposed to take pictures of the two attackers with her phone in that situation?Disappointed, she left the police station and immediately ordered a can of pepper spray and a personal alarm online. After that, she had dinner before heading home. The hospital had arranged for Jennifer to stay in a high-end residential area. It was a villa-style building with one unit per floor, and she lived on the top floor.By the time she got home, it was already past 8:00 pm. As soon as J
As Maxwell revisited the memories, he could feel a wild beast raging furiously within him."Mmm…"Jennifer's eyes widened in shock. Suddenly, she began to struggle fiercely. But in the blink of an eye, Maxwell had already restrained her arms and pinned them behind her.He pressed his towering figure against her, forcing her against the elevator door as he kissed her with a desperate passion. He even bit her lips with a wild intensity.Maxwell was consumed by a burning hatred. Why was Jennifer so cruel as to abort their child?For five years, the thought had gnawed at him, making him wish he could find her and make her regret her actions. However, when Jennifer actually appeared before Maxwell, he realized he could not bring himself to harm her. Every voice within him admitted that he missed her. The way she looked at him with the cold detachment of a stranger made him want to envelop her in his embrace.Jennifer did not stop struggling, but her efforts were futile against Max
Nathan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could not help but feel that the universe was playing a cruel joke on them.Why? After five long years, why did Jennifer have to run into them again?"Didn't you mention that someone had been to our lab not long ago, investigating Jennifer's information?" Nathan asked in a deep voice.The private investigator nodded. "Yes, Maxwell's wife probably hired someone to do it. Now that Maxwell has found Susan, he's probably started his investigation. But this time, we're well prepared. We won't let him find out anything we don't want him to."Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. "Remember, Maxwell mustn't discover the existence of the two children. Assign a few people to be in the lab for a few days and provide them with false information."As for Rachel, he believed she would not be foolish enough to tell Maxwell even if she found out that Jennifer had given birth overseas.With everything in place, Nathan's racing heart finally began to slo
Jennifer had become a completely different person after losing her memory. It was as if she did not even know who she was anymore.Maxwell continued patiently, "You've misunderstood my intentions. All I want is to speak privately with you, Dr. Susan.""There's no need for further discussion. I've already told you I won't save him," Jennifer answered with a cold expression. She added, "Mr. Lance, instead of trying to intimidate or bribe me, you should focus on the problems between you and your wife. It seems that money can't resolve everything, can it?""So, what is it that you want?" Maxwell asked with a frown. "Well, just do as I said. If you have money, use it for a good cause and prove your sincerity." Then, Jennifer smirked. "Also, bring your wife over and make sure she apologizes to me until I'm satisfied!"Maxwell observed the woman before him. He could not shake the feeling that she was merely a shell of the Jennifer he once knew. Now, she was nothing more than a troub
