Chapter 904

Author: Little Happiness
Jennifer looked at Maxwell in bewilderment. "You finally found your mother, yet you're abandoning her? You promised that all the hardships were over. But I'm still not happy even after marrying you!"

Maxwell recalled all the harm Camila had caused in the past and felt extremely guilty. Thankfully, Hugo hadn't revealed everything to Jennifer, or he wouldn't dare to ask for forgiveness on his mother's behalf.

He mumbled remorsefully, "I've sent my mom to the countryside. She won't be coming back. She'll pay for what she's done! Jennifer, believe me, all the suffering is behind us now. I won't let anyone hurt you again."

Jennifer was surprised. She found it hard to believe that Maxwell had sent Camila away. Did this mean she and the children were still the most important to him?

Reflecting on everything that had happened since Camila's return, Jennifer realized that Maxwell had always stood by her side. Camila had gone too far this time, but Maxwell never wanted this either.

    Despite everything, Jennifer still felt uneasy. Her expression grew solemn.Maxwell seemed to notice and said, "Jennifer, I know you've suffered a lot. Please, don't be upset. We will live happily as a family from now on."Jennifer sighed and looked at him. "Why does your mother hate me so much? I'm not a saint. She kept sending women your way, trying to ruin our relationship. I don't want to live with her. But I know how hard it was for you to find her. Doesn't this decision hurt you? Aren't you conflicted?"Maxwell hadn't expected Jennifer to be looking out for him. What had Camila done in return? She has caused Jennifer harm since she was a child. Even now, she couldn't leave Jennifer alone.Guilt overwhelmed Maxwell. All of Jennifer's suffering had been caused by Camila. He had no right to ask for her forgiveness.Maxwell pulled her into his arms. "I'm sad that I didn't protect you. As for my mom... I don't want to talk about her anymore. Let's just pretend she doesn't exist."

    Camila had enough. "I won't do it! I've lived a life of luxury. I've never had to cook, let alone feed pigs! Go back and tell Maxwell that he can have his wife back! I'll even play along. But if he's serious about this, then he's an ungrateful, heartless brat who mistreats his mother!"Michael scoffed. "Do you think Mr. Lance is toying with you? Play along? If it weren't for the fact that you're his mother, you'd already be rotting in a prison cell.""Then send me to prison!" Camila gritted her teeth. "Don't forget, no matter how much he hates me, I'm still his mother, the grandmother of his children. If I end up in jail, how will his two children live down having a grandmother behind bars? The heirs of the Lance family, descended from a criminal? Maxwell isn't that foolish!"Although Michael remained stoic on the surface, he couldn't help but pity Maxwell. First, there was Zachary, and now Camila. He was also entangled with Rachel for so many years… It was a wonder he was still s

    Camila wanted to resist. But the woman grabbed her and dragged her out. "Take a good look around. We're in the middle of nowhere, and there's no way you can escape. We've got plenty of ways to make sure you stay in line. Don't believe me? Try it!"The woman pulled her to the pig's pen and shouted, "Are you going to feed them? If you don't, I'll lock you up with the pigs! Try it, I dare you!"There was always a tougher person to deal with a troublemaker. Camila had to work, whether she wanted to or not.She had lived a life of luxury and had never suffered. Thinking about how she would have to endure this kind of life from now on, her hatred for Jennifer and Hugo peaked. She couldn't help but wonder if she would ever have the chance to tear them apart.…Back in Haven City, Maxwell decided to drive Jennifer to work every day, worried that something might happen to her and their third child.On the way, Michael called to update him about Camila's situation, where she was hard at wo

    Maxwell drove to the hospital and reminded Jennifer, "Work is important, but you're pregnant now. So, don't push yourself too hard, okay?"Jennifer smiled. "I know. I've already spoken to my supervisor. I won't take on simple surgeries, only the complicated ones.""Good girl." Maxwell pecked her forehead. "I'll pick you up tonight. Wait for me."Jennifer's heart warmed. She got out of the car and walked toward the hospital.As soon as she entered the office, she saw a few interns. The secretary led one of them to Jennifer. "Dr. Susan, why don't we assign this young woman to your team? You can take them on rounds and familiarize them with the department's procedures, okay?"Jennifer paused before her anger flared. It was Madison! She had almost forgotten that Madison was from Haven University.Surprisingly, Madison seemed much calmer than Jennifer. She still acted weak and innocent. "Mrs. Lance, does your offer to sponsor me still stand? I saved up enough to pay for this semester'

    Madison was upset. She was in her second year of university and only came to earn extra points to get a scholarship. She wasn't a full-fledged intern, so why should she work night shifts?Seeing her hesitation, Jennifer smiled sweetly. "What's the matter? I'm sponsoring you to attend university. Can't you handle a little hardship?"Madison had no choice but to agree. She forced a smile. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Dr. Yale. I'll do my best."And so, Madison was assigned to Jennifer's team.Jennifer's team included not only junior doctors but also many new doctors and interns. During rounds, Jennifer asked many questions and always directed the first question to Madison.However, Madison couldn't answer any of the questions. Jennifer then had the other students answer, and each shared their thoughts. None of them was as clueless as Madison, who couldn't utter a word.Madison felt isolated in the group and was convinced that Jennifer was targeting her.After her rou

    Madison glared at Jennifer resentfully. "Don't worry, I won't disappoint you, Dr. Yale."…In the following days, Madison was working overtime almost every day. Since Jennifer was quite famous, her team had the most patients, and the workload was heavy. Being an intern, Madison had to handle all the trivial tasks for the team, such as running errands, measuring blood pressure, and accompanying patients for tests.She learned almost nothing while being so busy she barely had a moment to breathe.Watching Madison work reminded Jennifer of her days as an intern. Back then, she had met good mentors but also bad ones. At the time, she vowed that if she ever became a mentor, she would never make things hard for her students nor order them around.As she started working, she kept her promise and never treated her students unfairly. However, Madison was the first student she had made an exception for. Even so, Jennifer didn't regret it.People like Madison, whose mind wasn't in the right

    Seeing this, Hailey believed Madison even more. She smiled slyly. "Mr. Lance, are you and Madison… close? Does Susan know?"Maxwell narrowed his eyes dangerously but ignored both Madison and Hailey. Speaking to them was beneath him. With that, he took his children and headed toward Jennifer's office.Cassidy and Caleb were charming and quickly won over the doctor, who started playing with them. He found a few needleless syringes and handed them to Cassidy to play pretend.Meanwhile, Maxwell entered Jennifer's office and asked, "I saw Madison when I brought the kids in. Why is she here? I just got rid of her, and now she has the nerve to show up again?"Jennifer sneered at the mention of her. "She's here to provoke me. She said she's here as an intern and even dared ask me to continue sponsoring her."Maxwell fumed and gritted his teeth. "It seems she hasn't learned her lesson! Don't worry, you won't see her tomorrow."Jennifer sighed. "She's made it clear to the department that I

    But how could Jennifer let Madison off the hook that easily?So, Jennifer hummed. "Dr. Brooks, shouldn't you have given me a heads-up before taking my student under your wings? Don't you find taking over my student without warning disrespectful?"Hailey's smile didn't falter. "Aren't we discussing it now? Dr. Susan, you're not being petty over an intern, are you? Or… Is there some conflict between you and Madison? I get the feeling you don't like her. I honestly feel sorry for her watching her take on night shifts every day."Hailey wished she could expose Jennifer's family secrets to the department. She wanted everyone to know this was just Jennifer's façade. In reality, being married into a wealthy family meant not only enduring her mother-in-law but also tolerating her husband's infidelities.But things didn't go the way Hailey had expected.Jennifer didn't hold back despite having an audience. "I don't mind giving up an intern, Dr. Brooks. But remember the young scholars' gran

    After visiting Harry, Simon left the prison with a heavy heart.He drove along a mountain road, letting the cool air blow against his face. He smoked a few cigarettes to clear his mind before finally heading home.It was late when he got back. Laura was in the kitchen trying to make something to eat. Simon sighed and walked over. "Go rest. I'll handle this."He took the ladle from her and began cooking.Laura didn't leave. Instead, she stood to the side, lost in thought. When had Simon started becoming this gentle? He used to be so distant and untouchable.She had been with him for five years, yet she had never known he could cook.Deep down, Laura wished he stayed the same cold and unreachable figure. At least then, she could keep her feelings in check.Simon asked, "Why aren't you resting?""I… I've been lying down all day. I just wanted to stand for a bit." She came up with an excuse. After a brief pause, she hesitantly asked, "Did you smoke?"Simon only then noticed the

    Harry finally realized Simon had orchestrated everything. He had believed the Jensens were the mastermind behind this.Suddenly, thoughts of his daughter flooded his mind. He tried to stand up and confront Simon, but the handcuffs and shackles restrained him, forcing him to remain seated.Harry glared at Simon. "What have you done to my daughter? Tell me! What exactly have you done to her?"Simon smirked. "Nothing much. I simply taught her how to serve me, please me, and keep me happy."Harry's heart dropped. The thought of his daughter, whom he had lovingly raised and cherished, reduced to Simon's plaything after his imprisonment, tore his heart to pieces.It was a fate worse than death. "You! What happened to your father back then was my fault! I take full responsibility!" Harry's voice trembled, "But Laura is innocent. I beg you, let her go. Don't hurt her! You can kill me if you want. I'm begging you. Please, let Laura go!" Simon gazed at the desperate man before him. Ye

    It was as if Simon blamed Laura for always asking stubborn questions.Their relationship was far from normal. He didn't understand why she insisted on getting to the bottom of everything.Laura's heart dropped. She returned to the bedroom, feeling utterly lost. Her heart ached. Simon was the most ruthless, selfish, and self-serving man she had ever met.Everything she had endured last night seemed insignificant to him. What mattered to him was that his mother hadn't caused her death, sparing him from any trouble.Around noon, Simon entered the bedroom.Laura was sitting on the rocking chair by the window, staring outside. The once-proud Laura now carried a sense of melancholy.Simon's heart tightened seeing her pale face. Unfortunately, apologizing wasn't his strong suit. He was too prideful for that.Still, he walked over to her and stroked her hair. "Don't take what I said to my mother earlier to heart. It wasn't aimed at you. Laura, you've been with me for five years. I thoug

    Simon's words comforted Laura.After finishing the soup, she burrowed back under the covers. She peeked out to gaze at Simon, who was working on the couch. She could never get enough of him no matter how long she looked.Even though she knew she was being pathetic, she couldn't help herself. She was charmed by Simon. Every move he made exuded the poise and charisma of a mature man. Especially when he was focused on his work, it always stirred a sense of admiration in her.Eventually, drowsiness took over, and she drifted off to sleep again. She wasn't sure how long she slept. But later, she groggily heard Simon's voice as he spoke on the phone.Simon was on the balcony, talking to Fiona. Fiona feigned innocence. "How would I know she was on the balcony? I just noticed it was about to rain and wanted to close the balcony door for you."Simon's tone sharpened. "Mom, there's no point in making these excuses. We're mother and son. I can see right through you. If you pull another st

    Laura understood Simon was technically still single since he wasn't married yet. She could still deceive herself and live in denial. But he would become someone else's husband once he married. Would she want to be his mistress?If it came to that, even she would despise herself.Simon hummed. "You can decide for yourself when that time comes. You can leave if you don't want to stay with me. But my promise will be void. You'd better believe me when I say, only I can save your father."Looking at Simon's emotionless face, Laura suddenly realized how cruel and cold-hearted he truly was. The feelings she thought they shared, the love and devotion she had poured her heart and youth into, were but a transaction in his eyes.Laura nodded. "Then let's set a deadline. I'll give you one year. If, after one year, my father's case remains unchanged, then we'll… cut ties."Simon replied calmly, "Fine, as you wish. Now get some rest."Only then did Laura close her eyes and stop resisting his t

    Simon didn't give Laura any chance to react. He took a sip and then lowered his head before capturing her lips.Laura's eyes widened as Simon forced her to swallow the soup. She pounded on his shoulders before Simon let her go.He demanded, "I'll have no choice but to feed you like this if you don't drink the soup and take your medicine."Laura glared at him, her face flushed with both anger and embarrassment. She grabbed the bowl and downed the soup in one go. Then, she took the cold medicine he handed her.Simon finally relaxed and tucked her in. "Sleep."But how could Laura possibly fall asleep? Especially when Simon lay down beside her, pulling her into his embrace. She gritted her teeth. "Can you not touch me? I'm begging you. Don't touch me!"Simon didn't respond. He held her tightly, his warmth radiating through the thin fabric of her pajamas.Later, he noticed Laura was trembling and thought she was cold.When he turned her to face him, he realized her eyes were red, an

    A sharp pain pierced Simon's chest. In the next instant, he held Laura tightly, as though trying to shield her from the cold. But still, she trembled uncontrollably. Without hesitation, he rushed to fill the bathtub with warm water and slowly placed her into it.Simon stroked Laura's pale face, then gently instructed, "Stay in the bath for a while. I'll make you some peppermint tea. If you start running a fever later, we might need to go to the hospital."Having said that, he turned to leave the bathroom. But as soon as he closed the door, he heard her crying.Simon froze in his tracks, then turned and rushed back in. He quickly undressed and stepped into the tub before pulling her into his arms. "I'm sorry, Laurie. I'm so sorry I came home so late," he apologized in a hoarse voice. "I-I didn't know they would—""Go away! Don't touch me!"Laura shoved him away with all her strength. Her voice broke as she screamed, "While you were happily spending time with your family, I was

    As soon as Simon finished speaking, he froze. He had repeated what Laura had told him that day, almost exactly.He was a lawyer. Yet, his response was far from professional. Laura's words and actions had crept into his thoughts without him even realizing it. The realization unsettled him, leaving him feeling irritated.Meanwhile, William avoided Simon's gaze, guilt written all over his face. "Why are you bringing this up again? I've already told you. Those people came from some poor countryside. They don't deserve one million dollars."Besides, who in the right mind would complain about having too much money? If I can settle this with 200 thousand dollars, why should I pay a million? Didn't you say you found evidence to clear Brooks Group of most of the responsibility?"Simon had indeed found such evidence. That crucial piece meant Nick's family couldn't demand much compensation. Yet, a tightness gripped his chest, as if something unseen was pressing down on him. For some reaso

    Fiona fixed her gaze on Simon, then replied, "Tell me honestly. Do you really only see Laura as the daughter of our enemy? If so, why do you keep putting off your engagement to Hailey?"Is there something else on your mind? Let me warn you. If you've developed any sympathy for that bitch, I'll end my life right in front of you!"Simon's heart sank as he heard that. He could clearly see the unwavering determination in her eyes. He would never doubt Fiona's words. After all, it was Harry who had caused Anthony's death, and that had shattered her life completely.The humiliation and torment Fiona had once endured flooded Simon's mind. He clenched his fists, unwilling to dwell on it any longer.He knew that Fiona would never accept Laura. The incident was something Fiona could never get over. Suddenly, she became agitated and grabbed Simon's arm tightly. Her voice was desperate as she demanded, "Tell me now. Do you have feelings for that bitch? Answer me!""Mom, calm down. I promi
