"Now?" Nathan glanced at the clock. "Cass just went to sleep. Jennifer, what's going on?"Jennifer didn't answer and kept insisting that he bring Cassidy over. Nathan had no choice but to wake Cassidy and take her to Jennifer's place.Cassidy never imagined Jennifer would discover the seamless plan she had with Caleb. Should she tell the truth? If she confessed, Caleb would surely call her a traitor when he returned!Jennifer stared at Cassidy grimly. "I'll ask you one last time, where is Cal?""Cal... Cal said..." Cassidy was terrified by Jennifer's angry look and confessed everything. "He said he went to find Daddy. There's a kid in our class whose dad is our daddy! He found the paternity test in your drawer..."Realization dawned on Jennifer. But she hadn't expected Caleb to be so bold. Not only did he rummage through her drawer, but he also went to find Maxwell on his own.Nathan was shocked too. He found the situation more complicated than any surgery he performed. He hadn't
That evening, Maxwell drove to pick up the two kids from school. For some reason, he wanted to make an effort since meeting Caleb. He felt a strange connection with the child.However, as he arrived at the school gate, only Jasper came out."Where's Caleb?" Maxwell asked. "Why isn't Caleb with you?"Jasper pouted. "Caleb and his sister were picked up by their parents this morning. I heard from the teacher that... they seem to be transferring schools.""What?" Maxwell was taken aback. Just yesterday, Caleb had said his parents were often abroad on business, and today they were transferring schools. It was all too sudden.Jasper handed him a card and a box of snacks. "This is from Caleb's parents. They said it's to thank you!"Maxwell took the box of snacks and looked at the writing on the box: "Thank you for your care. We hope to meet again."Maxwell's mood soured. He thought of the adorable Caleb from yesterday. He didn't even get a chance to say goodbye. Perhaps they would neve
Jennifer couldn't remember the past. But as Caleb spoke, her heart ached. Every word stabbed her like knives.Jennifer took a deep breath, tears gathering in her eyes. "Alright, if you like him so much, go find him. I'll leave with Cass. You won't have a mother anymore!"With that, she resumed packing her things.Caleb was stunned. Although he thought Maxwell was a good person and didn't want to give up on him, how could he abandon Jennifer, who raised him and Cassidy?Their family could be together if Jennifer gave his dad a chance. Why was Jennifer avoiding Maxwell?Caleb wiped his tears and roared, "I regret it so much! Dad would have brought us back if I had told him I was his son yesterday! I shouldn't have considered your feelings. I always put you first, but you don't care about Cass or my feelings! You're not a good mother!"Jennifer stiffened as she continued folding clothes, but tears started streaming down her face. All the grievance and bitterness she held in finally
Just then, the doorbell rang, signaling Nathan's arrival. He, too, was not in the best condition.He had been trying hard to win the children over and be with Jennifer. But in the end, they still wanted Maxwell. Especially Caleb, who was persistent in finding his father.Nathan didn't know what to do and felt lost.Jennifer smiled bitterly. "It seems I need to end my experiment early. I've already withdrawn the kids from school. We'll be leaving in a few days."Nathan was surprised. He hadn't expected Jennifer to be so decisive. It was he who was now feeling uncertain."And Cal?" Nathan sighed. "Have you convinced him? He might end up resenting us if we forcibly take him away like this."Jennifer was also at a loss. But in the end, she steeled herself. "He will come around eventually. I'll wrap up my work in the next few days and take the kids abroad. What about you?"Nathan smiled helplessly. "What a foolish question. Of course, I'll go with you."Jennifer gazed at him. At tha
Maxwell had invested all his feelings, only to receive Jennifer's betrayal in return. After their eyes met for a moment, they quickly looked away.Jennifer couldn't help but panic. But she forced herself to remain calm and addressed him as she would any other patient. "Please sit. Have you been feeling unwell lately?"Seeing her cold expression, Maxwell was reminded of how she had deceived and betrayed him.He slowly walked over and sat down opposite her."Dr. Susan, you're mentally strong!" Maxwell sneered sarcastically. "They say a doctor's mission is to cure and save people. But you seem to know best how to destroy a person's heart."Listening to his sarcastic remarks, Jennifer's gaze remained firm. "Are you going to have the examination? If not, then let the next person come in."Just then, a nurse entered with a file. "Dr. Susan, this is your resignation paperwork. Dr. Gardner asked you to sign it.""Alright." Jennifer quickly glanced at the document and signed her name.A
Did Maxwell discover something?Jennifer remained silent, her breathing quickened from the nervousness.Maxwell chuckled and shook his head. "I must be going crazy. That was just Jasper's classmate. Maybe the child doesn't look like either of us. Perhaps I just wish our child didn't die. But we can't change the past…"Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart still ached. For some reason, she didn't like seeing Maxwell this defeated.She quickly changed the topic. "Your heart and lungs are fine. I heard you're getting married soon. Congratulations."Her words pulled them back into reality. Maxwell forced a smile. "Thank you."At that moment, he realized that this marriage was merely a form of revenge for himself. Jennifer had long since moved on from him. With how much she hated him, why would she care who he married?Thus, Maxwell left the examination room. He walked slowly and soon disappeared from sight.It wasn't until she felt a burning sensation that Jennifer real
Laura hurriedly went back to work.Jennifer sighed helplessly and decided not to go to the coffee shop. Instead, she parked her car outside the studio and waited in the car.Just then, her phone rang. It was the hacker Nathan had helped her find previously. "Ms. Susan, the surveillance footage from Nimbus Lounge on August 12th, five years ago, has been retrieved. I've sent it to your email. Please check it."Jennifer hadn't expected the hacker to be so efficient. She had almost forgotten about it with how busy she had been lately."Okay, thank you. I'll take a look." Jennifer thanked him and immediately opened her email after hanging up.The footage was split into many videos, and she opened them, browsing through each one.As she watched, her eyes gradually widened. She saw two women stealthily bringing her unconscious form into Nimbus Lounge. These were likely her stepmother and stepsister. Then, Maxwell entered the room.Soon after, she stumbled out of the room, and the next
Jennifer had a moment where she felt the same impulse as Laura, but she quickly decided that it was too hasty.Moreover, if she confronted Maxwell now, he might still try to reconcile with her even if he realized the true nature of Rachel. She didn't want to be trapped by Maxwell again, nor did she want him to discover Caleb and Cassidy's existence.After much contemplation, Jennifer said, "I'll tell him the truth after I leave Haven City. By then, he won't be able to find me."Laura suddenly thought of something and smiled. "Isn't he getting married soon? Why not reveal the truth at his wedding? Let's see if he'll go through with the wedding!"Just thinking about that made Laura feel a great sense of satisfaction!Seeing Jennifer's dejected look, Laura wanted to cheer her up and suggested, "I used to go clubbing when I was feeling down. I'd feel much better after sweating it out. How about we go clubbing now?""Clubbing?" Jennifer had gone to clubs before, but not often.Laura,
