In just a few short days at the psychiatric hospital, Rachel had experienced hell on earth. They subjected her to electric shocks and various forms of torture every day. Even at night, they locked her in the bathroom to sleep. Rachel believed she would be tortured to death.Fortunately, Shaun came to rescue her.However, the trauma from the past few days had twisted Rachel's mind, leaving her consumed by hatred. It was all Maxwell and Jennifer's fault!Maxwell was so ruthless. After all their years together, he still made her suffer. She would drag them down with her since that was how he wanted it!When Rachel was rescued, she happened to pass by Nathan's private room and saw him in there, completely drunk. She immediately realized that Jennifer must have returned to Maxwell, and just like her, Nathan couldn't take the truth.Without hesitation, she had the waiter call Jennifer. Then, she sent Shaun to the orphanage to rescue Jasper.Now, Jennifer was surely driving Nathan home.
Maxwell picked up Cassidy and Caleb. At their request, he headed to the hospital to check on Jennifer. However, just as he arrived, he saw an ambulance pulling up. A group of nurses had already gathered at the hospital entrance. When the doors of the ambulance opened, two stretchers were brought out.Maxwell froze when he saw who it was.One of the stretchers carried Jennifer! And was Nathan the person who was covered in blood?Maxwell's heart raced. He quickly walked over to the car and forced himself to stay calm. "Caleb, stay in the car with your sister, okay? I'm going to check if your mom is working late.""Okay." Cassidy and Caleb nodded.After making sure they were safe, Maxwell sprinted into the hospital.The medical staff was in a flurry In the emergency room.Maxwell quickly grabbed a doctor and demanded, "What happened? What's wrong with Jennifer?""Who are you to her?" The doctor eyed him curiously.Maxwell quickly replied, "I'm her kids' father."The doctor studi
After the doctor finished speaking, he hurried back to the emergency room.Maxwell chased after him. "Please, you must save Nathan!"For some reason, Maxwell genuinely wished for Nathan to survive.The doctor nodded. "Don't worry, we'll do our best."…As night fell, Jennifer finally woke up."No! Dr. Lowe!" she suddenly screamed, sitting up in bed.Maxwell had just returned from checking on Nathan in the emergency room. Seeing Jennifer awake, he rushed over and asked anxiously, "You're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"Jennifer's eyes looked dazed for a moment. "I remember everything from the past!"Then, she smiled and added, "I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that Dr. Lowe was in a car accident. Wait, where's Dr. Lowe? I need to find him and tell him to be careful."Maxwell realized that Jennifer was still in a daze. He bent down and gently held her hands. "Jennifer, do you know who I am? Nathan, he... Do you remember what happened earlier?"In that instant, mem
Jennifer stood frozen in place. It felt like her soul had left her body."This is all your fault!" Suddenly, Natalie rushed over and slapped her.She screamed, "Why? Jennifer, what did our family ever owe you? My brother loved you so much, how could you treat him like this? You should be the one to die! Why wasn't it you who died?"Jennifer stood still, letting Natalie hit her. Tears rolled down her cheeks as a bitter smile tugged at her lips.She muttered, "I wondered the same thing. Why wasn't it me who died?""Stop pretending! If you really mean it, then die! Die with my brother right now!" Natalie dragged her and threw her beside Nathan's hospital bed.Jennifer didn't even dare to lift the white sheet. She said to Natalie, "Dr. Lowe died protecting me. It should've been me."If Nathan hadn't shielded her at the last moment, it would have been her lying there now. But even though he was drunk, why would he still make such a choice?Natalie cried bitterly. "What did my brothe
Maxwell listened to the muffled sobs coming from the room, his heart aching. He called Michael and quietly instructed, "Send some people to check on Nathan's family for the next few days. Make sure they get all the help they need. And, have you found Rachel yet?"Michael panted. "I'm currently at Nimbus Lounge with the team. The last surveillance footage shows Rachel being taken here. We're negotiating with them, and the police have been notified."A flicker of murderous intent appeared in Maxwell's eyes. "You must find that woman! Have you identified the owner of the car that hit Jennifer?"Michael sighed. "That guy isn't an amateur. It seems he's done this kind of thing before. After the incident, the last footage shows him heading to the docks. He's probably already out of the country."Maxwell gripped his phone tightly in frustration. Just how many more secrets was Rachel hiding from him?"Keep an eye on Nimbus Lounge. The moment you spot Rachel, capture her immediately." Afte
Jennifer remembered a book she once read. It said a woman would remember the man who made her laugh, and a man would remember the woman who made him cry. But often, a woman ended up staying with the man who made her cry, while a man stayed with the woman who made him laugh.Back then, Jennifer hadn't even graduated high school, and she scoffed at the idea, never imagining that she would one day become the woman described in the book. But in the end, the man who made her laugh was gone. And it was all because of her.Jennifer couldn't forgive herself. It seemed as if only by stripping herself of her basic needs could she find some relief from the pain in her heart.Maxwell hadn't slept either. He worriedly watched Jennifer, knowing that if she continued, her body would eventually collapse.At dawn, Michael arrived with dark circles under his eyes. "Mr. Lance, the police searched Nimbus Lounge with us all night, but Rachel wasn't there. She's good at hiding. They've issued a warrant
Jennifer didn't back then. She didn't even care that the children were still there. "This was Rachel's doing, wasn't it? Maxwell, if it weren't for you keeping that woman around, Dr. Lowe wouldn't have died! You and Rachel killed him!"Maxwell looked at her in shock but couldn't refute her words.Cassidy cried, terrified of Jennifer's near-mad state. Caleb followed suit and sobbed, "Mommy, what's wrong? Don't scare us! Don't leave us, Mommy!""Get out! Stop calling me that!" Jennifer's eyes were filled with hatred as she pointed toward the door. "Maxwell Lance, take your children and get out! Don't ever appear in front of me again."Maxwell couldn't believe what he was hearing. Jennifer loved her children so dearly. Yet now she was saying she didn't want them anymore.It was then that Maxwell realized the impact of Nathan's death on Jennifer was far deeper than he had imagined. Although he understood her anger, he felt heartbroken for the two innocent children. So, Maxwell quickly
Maxwell finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Jennifer eating, he agreed to take her to the funeral.It was the first time in days that Jennifer had cleaned herself up. She wore a black coat, which made her appear even more frail.The weather outside was gloomy, matching the somber atmosphere with a dark sky.Maxwell drove them to the cemetery, where the green lawn was filled with Nathan's family members and his close friends and colleagues.But Jennifer stood far away, unable to bring herself to approach, afraid of disrupting the solemn scene.It wasn't until Nathan's family finished paying their respects and left that Jennifer slowly approached the tombstone.Maxwell didn't follow her. He stood where he was, knowing he had caused this and had no right to face Nathan.Jennifer fell to her knees before the tombstone and touched the photograph on it. "Dr. Lowe… No, Nathan. You always liked it when I called you by your first name. Are you… cold over there? It's my fault. I… I
