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
Just then, a sharp voice came from the doorway, "I'm here."Everyone turned and saw Jennifer limping over.Preston quickly walked over to her and whispered, "Dr. Susan, where have you been? Why are you just now getting to work?""I sprained my ankle," Jennifer explained. "We can go to the orthopedic department and ask a doctor to verify it if you don't believe me."Preston quickly shook his head. "No need. Why wouldn't I believe you? Is your ankle alright?"Rachel sneered. "So, you're all just covering for each other and putting on a show in front of me, is that it?"As soon as she finished speaking, Jennifer smiled mysteriously and turned toward the doorway. "Do you see your wife's true colors now?"Rachel was shocked. The next second, she saw Maxwell walk in with a cold expression. She was surprised to see him, and her earlier bravado vanished.She was furious. She never thought Jennifer had become so cunning!Rachel quickly composed herself and put on a pitiful expression.
But to Rachel's surprise, Maxwell didn't say a word, allowing Jennifer to walk all over her!Rachel was seething with anger but maintained a smiling facade. "Dr. Susan, I've admitted my mistake. Won't you forgive me? Besides, who's going to take care of Jasper if I leave? My husband runs a company and is busy every day. Surely, you don't expect him to take over, do you?"Jennifer remained unmoved. "That's your problem, not mine. You can also choose the second option, and leave with your child!"Rachel couldn't believe that Jennifer had become so aggressive.Just then, Jasper got out of the bed and wobbled over to Jennifer. The boy was smaller than other kids his age. He looked up at her with a pitiful expression and pleaded, "Dr. Susan, please don't make my mommy leave, and don't make me leave either, okay? If I go, no one will be able to save me."Jennifer looked down at the small child. Although her expression didn't soften, she was touched.Jasper tugged on Jennifer's hand and
