"What do you mean by that?" Maxwell probed, "What exactly has she done?"Martha sighed. "We don't know what she's doing every day, but she's always harsh with us. Over these five years, many maids were driven away besides me. If Mrs. Lance were still around, she would've treated us with kindness, and there would never have been quarrels between the maids and her."In truth, Maxwell had heard whispers about these issues. He sensed that Rachel had changed over the years, though he couldn't pinpoint how. The kindness he once admired in her seemed to have twisted into something unfamiliar and unsettling.But since Jennifer left, Maxwell had turned his attention to his work and child. He hadn't had time to deal with what happened at home. Now, hearing Martha's words, Maxwell suddenly realized that his indulgence had allowed Rachel to act unreasonably.Maxwell muttered grimly, "Got it. I'll keep an eye on her n. Take good care of Jasper. And Susan… is Jasper's doctor. She's actually Jenn
Rachel finally convinced Shaun. He nodded. "Alright, I'll give it a try. After all, we don't want to cause too much of a commotion."A sinister look flashed in Rachel's eyes. She was determined to make Jennifer suffer for the rest of her life once she got hold of those two children.…At a kindergarten abroad, it was almost the end of school. Caleb was waiting for the caretaker to pick him up. Suddenly, a tall man approached him anxiously. He asked, "Are you Cal?""Who are you?" Caleb looked at him warily.The man pretended to be in a hurry. "I'm a colleague of your mom, Susan. She just landed at the airport but got into a car accident and is now in the hospital. Come on, I'll take you to her! Where's your sister?"The man reached for Caleb, but the child put his hands behind his back. The man's words were scaring Caleb. However, he and Cassidy spoke to Jennifer yesterday, and she mentioned that she was busy and wouldn't be back until next week.Caleb looked at the strange man a
Caleb was still shocked by the whole ordeal as the teacher escorted him home. The caretaker was terrified and immediately called Jennifer.Jennifer was working on Jasper's treatment plan when she heard that Caleb was almost kidnapped. She immediately jerked up, alerted.Her voice trembled with fear as she asked, "Are the kids okay now?""Don't worry, the kids are fine. But I think it's unsafe to stay here. Plus, you're often away, and it's hard for me to care for them myself." The incident left the caretaker shaken. Although she had been looking after the two children since they were young, they weren't hers. With so many bad people out there, she was terrified of something going wrong and betraying Jennifer's trust.Jennifer thought long and hard before making a decision. "Amy, are you willing to work abroad? I can offer you triple your salary.""I..." Amy hesitated. Although her son and daughter-in-law were abroad, Jennifer's offer was very tempting. Moreover, she had worked wit
The group returned to Jennifer's place in Haven City.Amy took the two children to their new rooms, as there was a lot of luggage to unpack.In the living room, Nathan looked at Jennifer with concern. "Have you thought this through? Are you not worried about Nathan discovering them by bringing them here? Have you considered what might happen if he finds out they are his?"Jennifer sighed and told Nathan about the incident a few days ago. She shook her head. "I couldn't leave the children alone. But I can't abandon my research either. I had no choice but to bring them here. I knew you'd say it was too risky and disapprove if I consulted you."Nathan knew and respected Jennifer. She was stubborn and wouldn't risk her children for work. Nathan knew Jennifer had her reasons for making her decisions, and he would support her. "Why don't you leave the children with me? Things might get complicated if Maxwell sees Cass or Cal.""Leave the children with you?" Jennifer quickly refused, "No
But the path ahead seemed dark and endless. Jennifer would be lonely and afraid too. Thinking about the safety of her children, Jennifer finally agreed to Nathan's suggestion.She nodded. "Alright, I'll leave Cass and Cal with you. We'll go back abroad once I finish my contract with the hospital and wrap up things here."Nathan looked at her with concern and asked, "Can you share your plans with me?"He was worried that she might end up sacrificing herself in the end.Jennifer smiled self-deprecatingly. "What plans? I'm just taking things one step at a time! Dr. Lowe, just take care of Cass and Cal, and leave the rest to me, okay?"Nathan and Jennifer shared a look and he nodded. "As long as it doesn't jeopardize your safety, I will let you handle it."Soon, Amy came out with the children. When they heard they were going to Nathan's house, Cassidy and Caleb grew upset. They thought they could be with Jennifer once they arrived.But it seemed they would still have to be separated
After a long time, she became more certain of Jennifer's motives. On the surface, Jennifer said she broke up with Nathan. But they were actually still in contact. Since she left her children with Nathan, it meant they were still close.This implied that Jennifer was approaching Maxwell and provoking Rachel purely out of revenge!Rachel forced herself to stay calm. It was likely that Jennifer wouldn't want Maxwell to find out about her children even though she brought them here. Otherwise, why would she hide the children at Nathan's place?Rachel breathed a sigh of relief. She still had a chance to turn the tides as long as Maxwell didn't know about the children's existence!…After settling everything, Nathan applied to work at Haven University to avoid arousing Maxwell's suspicion, putting a stop to his clinical work.Jennifer continued to make rounds and visit patients. Since the incident with Rachel, Jennifer deliberately ignored Maxwell for several days and was cold toward hi
Maxwell gave Jennifer a confident gaze. "I wouldn't have said this if I hadn't thought this through. So, will you return to me if I send Rachel away?"Jennifer did not give him a clear answer. "Talk to me after you settle things with her. Even if I'm willing, she might not be! I don't want to be entangled with that woman."Jennifer's response answered Maxwell's question. After all, he had already made up his mind. If he wanted to win Jennifer back, he needed to show her his commitment. He could not maintain connections with Rachel and had to avoid repeating past mistakes.Thus, Maxwell brought Jasper home after his discharge. Rachel was thrilled to see her son who looked much healthier than before. However, her heart suddenly sank.Maxwell gave her a grim expression. "Come with me to the study.""Okay." Rachel forced a smile and said to Jasper, "Play by yourself for a while. I need to talk to your dad."She followed Maxwell upstairs nervously.Once in the study, Maxwell got stra
Maxwell said, "I don't want to make things difficult for you for the sake of Jasper. But Rachel, you've changed. I won't leave Jasper with you. He's still an innocent child. Will you be able to bring him up as someone respectable?"Rachel sneered. "It seems Jennifer has achieved her goals! She has finally separated us! This is only the beginning. She'll come for you next! You don't trust me? Well, let's see if she'll return to you once I'm gone!"Maxwell frowned. "This has nothing to do with her. It's my choice. Maybe I shouldn't have let you give birth to Jasper. Then we wouldn't have complicated things."Rachel couldn't contain herself anymore. Would her efforts be in vain? She suddenly grabbed Maxwell's hand and begged, "Maxwell, I don't mind leaving. But please let me take Jasper. He's my child! I can't leave him! We can go our separate ways and won't disturb Jenifer. You can also visit us when you feel like it. Please?""I can't leave Jasper with you." Maxwell had made up his
