Chapter 281

Bassett Corporation's secretarial department had always been highly efficient. It didn't take long for Clark to be done with preparing all the documents needed for the debt transfer. All that was needed was Theodore's signature and to inform the Department of Urban Development, after which most of the compensation that Joywell Real Estate was supposed to pay would be transferred to Bassett Corporation.The Department of Urban Development was only responsible for collecting fines and did not care who paid the money.Theodore flipped to the last page of the contract, signed his name with a black fountain pen, and then handed it to Clark. "You don't need to let Joywell know about this.""Mr. Bassett, since you helped Ms. Jett, shouldn't she know about it? She should feel grateful.""Do I need to repeat myself?"Clark's expression stiffened—he dared not say anything more.After the office door closed, Theodore massaged the spot between his brows. He leaned back in his chair and clo

"What do you want?"Theodore didn't speak for a moment. "Did you go to the hospital this morning?"Slightly taken aback, Willow clenched her fists secretly. "Yes.""Terence told me that the results weren't good.""Since you already know, why are you asking me?"Assuming she was in a bad mood because of the test results, Theodore patiently advised, "Nothing is certain yet. Listen to the doctor, go for regular check-ups, and pay attention to your daily routine and diet. Also, It's best to put aside work.""I know my own body the best. You don't need to worry.""The child is mine too. I have the right to be concerned.""That is true. You are the father." Willow abruptly looked up, her gaze icy. "But this child might not even be born. By then, we wouldn't have anything to do with each other."Theodore's gaze abruptly darkened. Willow's tone was indifferent as if she were talking about something unrelated to her."How can you decide on something that even the doctor isn't sure of

Chapter 283

Recalling Terence's advice that emotional fluctuations should be minimized during pregnancy, Theodore suppressed his displeasure and remained silent momentarily. "If you really want me to stop bothering you, I will do so, but on my conditions."Willow's tightly pressed lips relaxed a little. "What conditions?"Theodore thought about it for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "Firstly, starting today, I will have nutritional meals delivered to you on time every day, and you must finish them."My second condition is that you must attend your regular prenatal check-ups on schedule, and you can't go early or late. If there's any issue with your health, I must be informed immediately."Willow's expression turned sour when she heard him. "Since you already know this child is unlikely to survive, why bother?""Whether the child survives or not is a matter for later. Just do as I say. You don't have to worry about anything else. If you can do that, I won't disturb you.""And what i

Chapter 284

Clark, who was driving, noticed Theodore's sullen expression upon his return and guessed that it must have been another unpleasant talk with Willow."Mr. Bassett, they say pregnant women have mood swings. If Ms. Jett had said anything, it would have probably been just out of anger. Don't take it to heart."Theodore didn't respond and was lost in thought. After a while, he ordered, "Get the media to retract those previous news reports."Clark was slightly taken aback. Was Theodore trying to be considerate of Willow's feelings?"Find a professional nutritionist to manage Willow's daily diet.""Understood."Theodore then gave a few more instructions regarding the nutritionist's qualifications.The car became quiet, with only the sweet voice from the car radio broadcasting the weather forecast. A cold wave was coming, and Emperia was likely to see the first snowfall of winter soon.Theodore leaned back in his seat and sent a message to Terence. His usually calm and composed face no

Chapter 285

For several consecutive days, the nutritionist Theodore hired delivered three meals a day to Willow. That wasn't all—soup that could help her with her sleep was also delivered to her every night.At first, Willow had no appetite, but after trying the meals once, her morning sickness gradually improved, and her complexion started to look better. That weekend, Willow rested at home. After coming over for a meal, Cedar rubbed his belly afterward. "The nutritionist Theodore hired is really skilled. Look at you! Your complexion is much better than before."As Willow flipped through a magazine, she casually replied, "Is that so?""Yeah. If you don't believe me, look in the mirror." Cedar glanced at her stomach. "When will your child be born, Willow?""It's still early.""Have you and Theodore thought of names yet?""Not yet." With a frown, Willow said, "How many times do I have to tell you that Theodore and I have broken up? Stop bringing him up."Cedar gave her a perfunctory "oh",

Chapter 286

Willow was pretty sure Theodore had something to do with Tobias' death. The thought of it made Willow feel cold all over.She couldn't believe she had met and fallen in love with such a cold and ruthless man to whom ordinary people's lives meant nothing.If it weren't for her "luck" in helping him by chance when she was a child, she might also be a worthless life to him, a person who was easily disposed of. That thought scared her.At Bassett Residence, the sound of an engine could be heard at the garage entrance, and Willow stormed in."Ms. Jett, why are you back?" The maid was not surprised but rather panicked when she saw Willow."Where's Theodore?""Mr. Bassett is… not at home."Hearing the maid's stammering made Willow even more certain that Theodore had a guilty conscience and was deliberately avoiding her."He isn't at home, is he? It's no problem. I'm just here to get some of my things."She suppressed her anger and went straight up the stairs to the master bedroom on

Chapter 287

Willow abruptly stopped in her tracks and turned around when she heard what Hailey said.In the dim hallway, Hailey, who was supposed to be standing at the master bedroom door, somehow appeared in front of her.Hailey's creepy smile and sinister face suddenly appearing in front of Willow made the latter scream.In the next second, Willow felt her shoulder being pushed, causing her to lose balance and tumble down the stairs. With no control of her body, she fell down the staircase.She didn't even feel pain, and her mind was completely blank. Before losing consciousness, she thought she heard someone calling her name."Willow!"However, the panicked voice couldn't possibly have been Theodore's. It must have just been an illusion. The current him should still be lying in bed, enjoying the tranquility brought by last night's pleasure.With a bang, her back hit the floor. As she felt like her internal organs were being jolted out, the pain instantly permeated her entire body.Willo

Chapter 288

After a few seconds of silence, Cedar coldly spat, "You tell Willow yourself!"He walked straight out after he spoke, leaving Theodore and Willow alone in the room. Once the door was closed, the room became much quieter.Theodore sat by her bed with the glass and a spoon to feed her the water. Willow, who was leaning against the headboard, knew he was there, but she turned her face away, unwilling to look at him.The room became even more silent, and the atmosphere became even more chilling.After a while, Theodore said, "Regardless of whether you believe me or not, nothing happened between Hailey and me.""Ha." Willow let out a cold laugh as if she had heard the funniest joke ever.How could a man and a woman lay naked in bed together for an entire night without anything happening? What else could they be doing? Chatting?Knowing that she didn't believe him, Theodore stopped explaining himself and changed the subject."I was the one who wronged you and the child. Even if nothi

Chapter 289

As Theodore knitted his brows, he felt his throat tighten. In the end, he said nothing. Whatever he said now was useless. Even if he could clear up the misunderstanding, their child wouldn't return.Knowing what Theodore was thinking, Terence could only sigh silently. In truth, the chances of the child surviving were slim from the start, but losing it this way was painful for everyone.Willow only awoke after Theodore and Terence had left."Willow, they're gone now."As Cedar and Willow shared a sibling bond, he had long noticed that she had woken up a while ago and was just reluctant to face Theodore. As such, he sent them away.Willow leaned against the headboard, tears still welling up in her eyes."Willow, don't be upset. I've already scolded him harshly. He's gone too far. How could he treat you like this?""Cedar, I miss Mom."When Cedar heard that, he momentarily froze. He then held her hand. Only after becoming a mother did Willow realize the difficulty of pregnancy and

Chapter 290

"Is it hot? Have another spoonful."Willow had two spoonfuls of the creamy soup, which went down easily. Erica's caring words instantly warmed her heart, which had been cold for days. Her nose tingled, and tears began to fall."Why are you crying?" Erica quickly set down the thermos and used her handkerchief to wipe Willow's tears. "You can't cry when you're like this. It's bad for your health."Willow choked up, her voice weak. "I miss my mom."Erica's heart ached when she heard that. She quickly hugged Willow. "My only regret in this life is not having a daughter. If you miss your mom, just think of me as your mom. It's okay. Don't cry."With someone comforting and caring for her, Willow couldn't hold back any longer. All her grievances from the past few days overwhelmed her, and she cried in Erica's arms like a child.Cedar's eyes reddened as he stood there. He and Willow had been raised by an unreliable mother. As they had hardly ever felt the gentle, loving care of a parent,
