Jennifer finally understood. Maxwell had allowed this. Jasper's existence was an insult to Maxwell, and he must have been furious when he found out the truth.Jennifer softened her tone. "I'll take Jasper home today.""Sure! Mr. Lance has already told us about it." The director smiled. "To be honest, we don't really know what to do with this child. We've heard he has a heart disease, and we're afraid something might happen to him!""It's alright. I'll take care of him." With that, she returned to the room.Jasper was silently sitting on the edge of his bed, his head hanging low.Jennifer walked over and gently said, "Jasper, I'll take you home, okay?"Jasper numbly held Jennifer's hand as they left the orphanage. Behind them were envious gazes, watching as Jasper got into a luxury car to be taken away.Once inside the car, Jasper finally spoke. He pleaded, "Can you tell me what happened, Dr. Susan? Why did Mom and Dad argue? Why did Dad send me here? Why didn't Mom come to pick
Jay thought for a moment but still didn't dare to keep Jasper without Hugo's permission. He suggested, "How about we send him to the orphanage?"Jennifer retorted, "I just brought him from the orphanage."Jay was frustrated. "Then why not take him home for a few days? I'll consult the boss once he returns. He's on a plane right now, and I can't reach him.""I don't care. The child is your boss's responsibility. Since he slept with the child's mother, he must take responsibility. I'm leaving him here with you. Make sure to take good care of him. This child has a heart disease and could have an episode at any time. Call me if anything happens." With that, Jennifer prepared to leave.Jay grabbed her. "Don't go. You can't just leave a child here. The boss will kill me if he sees the child.""Let him come to me if he's angry!" Jennifer huffed furiously. "I've never seen anyone who wouldn't take responsibility for their child. I'll sue him if he doesn't take in the child!"With Jennife
Maxwell held her hand tightly, his voice filled with urgency. "As long as we don't get the marriage certificate, I'll always worry about losing you again."Jennifer remained silent for a while, a trace of sadness appearing in her eyes. "I want to visit Dr. Lowe. Since I've decided to marry you, I want to talk to him about it. Even if he can't forgive me, I can't hide it from him."Maxwell paused then nodded, "You should. If it weren't for him, we might have been separated by death. I'll take you there and wait for you outside the cemetery. Nathan… probably doesn't want to see me.""I'll go by myself." Jennifer forced a bitter smile. "You're right, Dr. Lowe dislikes you, so don't disturb his rest."Awkwardness crossed Maxwell's face. However, until he made amends to Jennifer and the children, he would always feel like he was in the wrong. Compared to what Nathan had done for her, Maxwell felt he had done far too little.…Jennifer chose a clear, sunny day to visit the cemetery. Sh
Jennifer couldn’t help but worry. What happened to the Lowe family to make Natalie say such things?…Back home, Maxwell had planned to go to the office for a meeting, but the two children begged him to teach them how to swim. Cassidy even tugged at him with such adorable persistence that Maxwell couldn’t resist.So, Maxwell rescheduled his meeting and stayed home, teaching them to swim for the entire afternoon.Caleb was a quick learner and could now swim as fast as a fish in the water. Cassidy, on the other hand, started off eager to learn. But she got scared and refused to continue no matter how much Maxwell comforted her.So, Cassidy sat by the pool for the rest of the afternoon, watching her father and brother swim.Caleb noticed that Cassidy had eaten three ice creams throughout the afternoon and whispered to Maxwell, "I suspect that Cass just wanted to send us off to swim so she could eat ice cream while Mommy’s not home. This way, no one would stop her."Maxwell looked a
Jennifer was in disbelief. "Divorce? Why did they divorce? And why did Mrs. Lowe leave with nothing?"Maxwell muttered, "In the past, Nathan's father had been working in a hospital abroad and would only come home a few times a year. During that time, he had already started a relationship with another woman overseas. That woman's child is already over ten years old. But back then, since Nathan was alive and doing well, his father treated that boy as a bastard. Now that Nathan has passed away, the mistress came and bullied Mrs. Lowe and her daughter."Maxwell glanced worriedly at Jennifer and continued, "But Mrs. Lowe has always been non-confrontational and never expected to be in this situation. Later, when her husband returned, he sided with the mistress and demanded a divorce. So, in her anger, Mrs. Lowe left with nothing and divorced him. Since the divorce, Mrs. Lowe has developed severe depression. The medications abroad are expensive, and hiring a caregiver is also costly, which
Hearing Maxwell's plan, Jennifer finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Maxwell.""You don't need to thank me." Maxwell stroked her cheek. "Don't worry, I'm here."With his reassurance, Jennifer finally grew at ease.The next day, the couple returned to their regular work and routine. In the morning, Maxwell first dropped off Cassidy and Caleb at school, then drove Jennifer to work."I'll pick you up after you finish work, and we'll visit Mrs. Lowe together." Maxwell reminded her, "Focus on your job, and don't let your mind wander, okay?"Jennifer smiled. It was nice to have someone who would stand by her side, especially when that person was someone she truly loved."Okay," she promised, giving him a quick kiss on the cheek. Her face flushed as she added, "You should work hard too."She quickly hopped out of the car. Maxwell's heart filled with joy.As Maxwell dropped her off a distance from the hospital, Jennifer had only walked a few steps before she heard cries for
Jennifer rolled her eyes at Hailey. "It's my choice. What's it to you?"She originally wanted to tell Hailey off but decided it was too rude, so she toned it down.Hailey snorted. "Susan, I know what you're trying to do. You're just showing off in front of everyone, trying to get them to look up to you. But don't forget, I'm still the head here!"Jennifer shrugged. "Do I need to show off? Isn't it common knowledge that I can perform surgeries that you cannot? Oh, and you're just the temporary head."She deliberately emphasized the word temporary, causing Hailey's face to turn red with anger.Jennifer then left to do her rounds.Hailey clenched her fists. She was determined to surpass Susan. What was so special about this woman? She had never been looked down upon like this before!…After a busy day, Jennifer finally wrapped up her work right as her shift ended. Maxwell's car was already parked at the hospital entrance, waiting for her.Jennifer quickly got in. "Let's visit Mr
Jennifer caught onto Maxwell's teasing and playfully glared at him. "I'm already yours, so isn't it up to you how things go?"Maxwell chuckled. "That's something I should be saying to you."…Hugo had been in a foul mood ever since returning to Haven City. The people he sent to capture Camila had failed, and that cunning woman escaped!Shaun hummed thoughtfully. "She fled hurriedly and didn't take anything with her. All the jewelry your father gave her was left behind. She's lived in luxury for so long and is nearly 60 now. She won't be able to survive out there for long."Hugo's gaze hardened. "Then keep searching! I want her found, dead or alive. Let's see how much longer she can hide."Shaun tried to ease his frustration and suggested, "How about calling over that girl, Natalie, from last time? She could keep you company."Hugo immediately recalled Natalie's stubborn yet stunning face, and his throat went dry. He mumbled, "That woman doesn't seem like the type to go clubbing.
