Then Maxwell and Jennifer would be meeting openly. At this thought, Rachel suddenly piped up, "What does signing that consent form mean? If something happens to Jasper like that other child, will you leave all the responsibility on us?"Jennifer gazed at her sharply. "That incident has already been addressed on the hospital's official website. I suggest you check it out. You're free to take your child elsewhere if you don't trust me. I won't stop you."Rachel was conflicted. If they left, there might not be anyone else who could save Jasper. But if they stayed, would she watch as Jennifer and Maxwell rekindled their feelings?Suddenly, Rachel thought of an idea and said, "The hospital is full of bacteria and viruses. Jasper can't handle that. How about this? You can visit our place to treat Jasper or sell us the medicine, and we'll find our own doctor."Listening to her absurd demands, Jennifer burst out laughing. "Mrs. Lance, have you not realized the situation here? You're asking
Jasper blinked in surprise. "Will I have the chance to go to school?"Jennifer nodded. "As long as you go through with my treatment, you'll have the opportunity to be like other kids."Just then, Rachel rushed into the ward and pushed Jennifer aside. Jennifer immediately steadied herself by grabbing the wall, preventing herself from falling.She looked at Rachel in disbelief. "What are you doing?"Rachel glared at her. "What were you saying to my son?"When she entered the ward, she immediately noticed Jasper laughing with Jennifer. Was she planning to manipulate Jasper too?Jennifer yelled, "Are you paranoid or something?""You're the one who's paranoid!" Rachel snapped back angrily. "Why are you getting so close to my son? What exactly were you telling him?"Jasper intervened, "Mom, why are you so angry? The doctor is very nice. She just came to check on me and told me I'll get better. She also said she'll make it so I can go to school like other kids."Rachel held back her
Rachel didn't want to show her ugly side to her son, so she suppressed her anger again and forced a small smile. "It's not your fault, it's mine. But I have no choice. Do you think that lady wants to save you? In truth, she wants to steal your father.""Really?" Jasper looked at Rachel in confusion and shook his head. "The doctor doesn't seem like that kind of person. She's really kind."Rachel snorted. "That's all an act. Otherwise, why would she use you to get close to your father? I have always been good to you. Would I lie to you? Your father got hurt because he was protecting her! He almost lost his life."Jasper asked in disbelief, "Why would Dad protect her? Do they... know each other?""That's because that woman saw that your father is wealthy and powerful, so she wants to take him away. I don't know what kind of spell she cast on him, but he almost lost his life for her." Rachel pulled Jasper into her arms. "Jasper, you're my precious child. You must help me, okay?"Jaspe
Maxwell remained silent for a moment before smiling. "Silly boy, your mom and I both love you very much. We won't leave you."Jasper threw himself into Maxwell's arms happily. He knew it! His father would never abandon him. But Rachel's expression turned unpleasant. Maxwell was very skilled at choosing his words. He only said they wouldn't leave Jasper, but he had never made any promises to her. So, who would repay her for the five years she had spent with him, not to mention all the years of her youth?After Maxwell put Jasper to sleep, he turned his attention to Rachel. He observed Rachel's gentle front. "Did you say something to Jasper? Why did he ask me that?"Rachel maintained her composure. "I didn't say anything to him. I'm also confused. I don't know what got into him today to ask such strange questions."Maxwell gave her a skeptical look. "You should go home. I'll stay here with Jasper tonight."Rachel scanned the room disdainfully. "There isn't even a proper bed here.
Cassidy whined, "I want Mommy to hold me while I sleep, and I want Mommy to take us to school in the morning."Caleb pushed Cassidy aside and moved closer to the camera. "Mommy, both Cassidy and I are Chuelesians, which means our dad must be Chuelesian too. Have you seen anyone over there who looks like our dad?"Jennifer was taken aback. She once told them that their father had gone to another world. But Caleb was stubborn, convinced that his father was still alive.However, Caleb's words triggered something in her mind. She suddenly realized that Caleb bore some resemblance to Maxwell. Especially when he frowned. The thoughtful expression was almost identical as if made from the same mold.The thought made her heart sink. But she quickly brushed it away. She was being ridiculous. Maxwell Lance? How could that be? Besides, Nathan had told her that her husband was dead. Nathan wouldn't lie to her.Seeing that Jennifer was lost in thought, Caleb carefully asked, "Mommy, what's wron
Although Jessica agreed to start dating Nathan, she hadn't thought about their future. When Cassidy brought up marriage earlier, the idea felt so distant to her, and she felt a little nervous.She took out the medication Mark prescribed her and took two pills before going to bed. It had been a long time since she had dreamt. But she found herself having strange dreams that night.In her dream, she saw Maxwell. She dreamed of a beautiful wedding, and the man beside her was none other than Maxwell. Then, Rachel appeared along with Jasper, standing menacingly between them. This absurd scene replayed throughout the night.As dawn broke, Jennifer woke up in shock. The memory of last night's dream made her face flushed bright red. Why would she dream of marrying Maxwell? Was she just stressed out by Cassidy and Caleb's talk?Jennifer muttered to herself, "Susan, you absolutely should not dream of marrying that man!"Otherwise, she would look down at herself. She was beautiful and succes
Maxwell didn't say a word. He knelt in front of Jennifer and started to remove her shoe.Startled, Jennifer exclaimed, "Don't do that!""Stay still. I need to check if your ankle is injured," Maxwell said as he gently removed her sock. He held her foot and inspected the swelling around her ankle.Jennifer was losing her mind. No matter how much she tried to resist, she couldn't ignore Maxwell's gentleness. His concern and care were a breath of fresh air, knocking down the walls she built around her heart.Jennifer feared her thoughts would spiral further, so she pushed him away again. "It's just a minor injury. I can take care of it myself."But Maxwell remained in his kneeling position. He looked up at her tenderly. "But I'm worried.""Why are you worried about me?" Jennifer couldn't help but snapped. "You should be worried about your sickly son, or your suspicious wife! I don't need your concern."With that, she tried to leave the car. However, Maxwell locked the car door. "I'
Jennifer pushed down her disappointment and said to Maxwell, "I'm a doctor. Since I've decided to take your son under my care, I'll do my best to treat him. You don't need to bring me breakfast again. I usually eat at home before going to work. Today was just a coincidence.""Jennifer..." Maxwell called, but he didn't know what to say. His eyes were full of unspoken words, but it was as if they were stuck in his throat.Jennifer's heart raced and she couldn't meet Maxwell's gaze. Just then, Michael returned with the ointment. He was surprised to see Jennifer again. Although Jennifer looked the same, there was something different about her demeanor.Maxwell insisted on applying the ointment to Jennifer's ankle. Despite her refusals, Maxwell was stubborn and applied the ointment for her. Jennifer held her breath, observing his defined features in a daze.Just then, a ringing phone shattered the quiet atmosphere. Jennifer jumped and she quickly took out her phone. Seeing it was a ca
