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
How should Maxwell explain adult matters to a five-year-old?Jasper remembered how hurt Rachel looked when she left and yelled at Maxwell, "I hate you! You're a bad person. I hate you!"Maxwell stood there, stunned by the look in his son's eyes. After all, Jasper had always been well-behaved and never cried even when getting shots or having an IV, just to avoid worrying his parents.But now, he was saying that he hated him!Maxwell's heart twisted.Jasper sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Give Mom back!"Maxwell pulled him up and said sternly, "Jasper, this is our decision. Throwing a tantrum won't change anything! I'll arrange for you to meet your mom when you miss her. But if you keep acting like this, I might not let you see her again!"Only then did Jasper stop crying. But he looked miserable with his tears held back, afraid to cry.Maxwell sighed. "Even if your mom and I are separated, we still love you. Our love for you will not change."Jasper feared Maxwell might ke
Jennifer sneered disdainfully. "That's fine by me. I can meet you every day while you watch Maxwell and me being all lovey-dovey, right?"Rachel wanted to tear Jennifer's face off. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Jennifer, be honest! What are your motives? Do you want to be with Maxwell, or have you remembered the past and want to take revenge on us?""Why does it matter?" Jennifer wouldn't let her have the satisfaction. "Did you do something so horrible that you're afraid of me seeking revenge?"Rachel's heart sank, and she quickly retorted, "Nonsense! What do I have to be afraid of?"She remembered something and said, "Since you've regained your memory, you must remember being taken advantage of at Nimbus Lounge, right? Do you think Maxwell would still cherish a soiled woman like you? You're a used woman, a plaything for men to enjoy!"Jennifer's expression dropped. What did Rachel mean by that? She resisted the urge to probe further because she didn't want Rachel to figure ou
Laura sighed, not wanting to discuss Simon. Jennifer noticed her reluctance and sat beside her. "I'll stay with you. I don't have much going on today anyway.""Alright." Laura tilted her head at Jennifer. "Even though you don't remember me, don't you feel a certain bond when we're together?"Jennifer was amused and nodded. "Yes, I felt like you were a good person when we first met, and I instinctively want to be close to you.""Then why haven't you contacted me?" Laura shook her phone. "We even exchanged numbers!"Jennifer knew she was about to embark on a path of revenge. She didn't want to drag anyone else down with her, which was why she hadn't reached out to Laura.However, recalling Rachel's words, Jennifer still wanted to get to the bottom of things.After accompanying Laura to get her contraceptive shot, Laura suggested that they have dinner together that evening. Jennifer agreed and they went to Gold Guardian. Laura even remembered all of Jennifer's favorite foods.Despi
Laura was at a loss for words. Jennifer's eyes watered as she whispered, "I know where you're coming from. But how could I let them off the hook? I'm no longer the naive Jennifer of the past!"She wouldn't have started her path of revenge if it was only a matter of the heart. But her father's death was connected to Maxwell! This man had done so much to hurt her under the guise of loving her. How could she ever forgive him?Noticing it was late, Jennifer suggested, "Why don't you stay at my place tonight? I have new toiletries and a new set of pajamas."Laura longed to return to how things were before, where they shared a bed, talked about their feelings, and fell asleep together. But that wasn't possible now. Although Simon didn't come home every night, he might punish her if he did return and found her missing.So, Laura made an excuse. "I can't tonight. I still have some work to finish. Maybe next time."With that, she left Jennifer's place.When Laura returned to her apartme
