Every Breath You Take novel Chapter 115

"Well, since Mr. Huo is here, let's sit down and talk!" After all, Old Mrs. Gu had a wide range of experience, so she was relatively calm. Then she ordered the servant, "Serve tea!"

Leon pulled Monica and Coco to sit down. Quarmy also sat down. A servant came in with tea and politely handed a cup to Quarmy. "Sir, please!"

Quarmy took the tea and placed it on the tea table next to him. He kept staring at Coco. Coco's facial features were indeed very similar to Monica's. However, when he looked at Coco closely, he would find that Coco also looked like him. How could he be so stupid before? How could he believe Monica's nonsense? How could he believe that Coco was the child of someone else?

Coco felt very uncomfortable to be stared at by Quarmy. Why did he feel that Uncle Huo seemed to have changed into another person? He used to like Uncle Huo, but when he saw Uncle Huo getting engaged to someone else, he no longer liked him.

His mother had said that a man should keep his promise. Uncle Huo had promised to take care of him and his mother. He no longer liked Uncle Huo because he hated people who didn't keep their promises.

Seeing Coco sitting beside Leon and Monica, Quarmy felt resentful. He waved to Coco and said, "Coco, come here!" Coco shook his head and leaned against Leon. He looked at Quarmy with his black eyes and asked, "Uncle Huo, what are you doing here?"

Quarmy couldn't vent his resentment in front of Coco. He tried to make himself smile. "I'm here to handle some things and visit you by the way."

"Thank you, Uncle Huo." Coco was very polite. He grabbed Monica with one hand and Leon with the other. "My mother and Uncle Gu are getting married. I'll have a father soon!"

Quarmy's face changed and he looked at Monica with red eyes. "Monica, let me ask you, who is Coco's father?"

Monica didn't say anything. Since Quarmy asked her so confidently, he must have known something. However, Coco's identity had always been secret. How did Quarmy know?

Coco did not understand what they were thinking. He answered in a childish voice, "My father is dead!"

"Dead!" Quarmy sneered. Monica hated him so much that she told Coco he was dead. "Monica, is Coco's father really dead? Huh?"

Monica did not speak. She just nodded.

"Very well. I will have a paternity test with Coco tomorrow. Paternity tests don't lie!"

"Why? Why should I let you and my child have a paternity test?" Monica retorted.

"Are you afraid?" Quarmy sneered. "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid of anything. My son is sick. His body can't afford it!" "Really? What about the baby you're carrying? As far as I know, you are pregnant now. Do you dare to say that the baby is not mine?" Quarmy was aggressive. "Monica, I have known everything I should know. It's no use trying to hide it!"

"Mom, what does 'hide' mean?"

"This..." Monica didn't know how to answer Coco's question.

Quarmy stared at her and said, "Monica, can you tell Coco with a clear conscience about my relationship with him?"

Whose fault was it that led to this.

Monica's face turned pale. Facing Quarmy's question, she had nothing to say. She even felt it difficult to breathe.

"Mr. Huo, Coco is still sick. Do you think it's appropriate to talk about this in front of him?" Leon reminded Quarmy.

Quarmy took a look at Coco and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. Old Mrs. Gu got up and said," Coco, let's go upstairs to play."

Although Coco was young, he knew that something was wrong, so he followed Old Mrs. Gu upstairs obediently.

Leon, Monica, and Quarmy were the only ones left in the living room. Quarmy felt a sharp pain in his heart when he looked at the two sitting together. He hated Leon for knowing Monica first. He hated Monica for caring about Leon. Looking at the two sitting together like a perfect couple, he was really upset. Leon patted Monica's hand to comfort her. "Mr. Huo, since you already know the truth, we have to admit that Coco is indeed your child. However, Coco is sick now. You shouldn't have made trouble like this. I hope you can take a step back and talk about it after Coco recovers."

"I can talk about it later. However, as Coco's father, I can't sit by and do nothing. Let me tell you, I will get the best doctor for Coco. I'm willing to spend all of my money treating my son."

"Coco's illness has been well controlled. Now we're waiting for Moni to give birth to a child. The cord blood can be used to cure Coco. I hope you can do what's best for Coco and let him stay here for treatment."

"No problem! I'll stay with him." Quarmy was very straightforward.

"What about your company?" Monica asked.

"Compared with my son, the company is nothing."

"I mean, you'd better go back to Jiang City. I'll report Coco's illness to you everyday..."

"No!" Quarmy interrupted Leon. "I must stay with my son and take care of him! It can't be changed!"

"Quarmy, you really don't need to do this. It's not helpful for you to stay. Coco has accepted me as his father now. Your stay will only make things more complicated."

"Are you afraid that I will separate you two? Don't worry, I won't." Quarmy's tone was full of sarcasm. "But let me tell you, both Coco and Moni's next child are mine. I, Quarmy, will never let my children call another man Dad!" "Quarmy, can't you be reasonable?" Monica was angry. "What right do you have to make such a decision?"

"I'm Coco's father!"

"Father? How dare you say that? Who drove me out of the house that year? Since the moment you abandoned me, my child and I have had nothing to do with you!" Monica retorted.

"Monica, I have explained that I was forced to do so!" Quarmy clenched his fists, and blue veins appeared on his fists, which showed the pain in his heart. What happened at that time had been torturing him. In the past few years, he had never felt at ease.

"So what? Does that make you innocent?" Monica wanted to control her emotions, but she failed.

"Monica, I know I'm wrong. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins. Can you forgive me?"

"No!" Monica refused without hesitation. "Quarmy, not all the mistakes can be forgiven!"

"Don't push me!" Quarmy glared at Monica. "I've said that I won't let my children call another man Dad!"

"Apart from life, what have you given Coco? Mr. Huo, do you really have the face to be Coco's father?" Leon reminded Quarmy again.

"I will try my best make up for it!" Quarmy repeated.

"But Coco won't let you do so. To him, you're just a stranger. He doesn't need your compensation!"

"Monica, you don't need my compensation, do you? As Coco's mother, what right do you have to deprive me of my right to be Coco's father?"

"Your mother and your pregnant mistress forced me to leave you. Your mother pushed me, who was pregnant, to the ground. When you came in, your cared about your mistress instead of me. After leaving you, I rolled down from the mountain and broke my leg. My son and I were homeless because of you. When Coco was sick, I called you but you refused me. Quarmy, I had countless reasons to refuse you. How dare you question me?"

"I..." Quarmy looked at Monica and could not say anything. He knew that he had hurt Monica too deeply and knew that he could not be forgiven. He was so sinful that he couldn't retort.

Though Quarmy became silent, Monica was still angry. Leon didn't feel sympathy for Quarmy at all. He saw clearly what Monica had suffered.

Old Mrs. Gu, who was upstairs, had been observing the three of them. Noticing the silence, she came out to ease the situation. "Moni, it's getting late. Take Coco to have a rest!"

Then she looked at Quarmy. "Mr. Huo, if you don't mind, you can stay here!"

"Grandma!" Monica and Leon shouted at the same time, apparently expressing their opposition. Old Mrs. Gu waved her hand, indicating her grandson and Monica to calm down. Then, she ordered the housekeeper to prepare a room for Quarmy.

The housekeeper stepped forward politely and said, "Mr. Huo, please come with me!"

Quarmy was very grateful to Old Mrs. Gu. "Thank you very much, Old Mrs. Gu!" Quarmy followed the housekeeper and left. Leon looked at Old Mrs. Gu and complained, "Grandma, why did you ask him to stay here?"

"Since Quarmy has come here, it's impossible for him to leave like this. Instead of letting him hate and turn against us, we'd better be polite to him and then think of a way out." Old Mrs. Gu looked at Monica. "This situation is not what we want. However, he's Coco father after all. If he takes Coco by force, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Monica was silent. What Old Mrs Gu said made senses.

Monica walked into Coco's room. Coco was already asleep. She sighed and walked to the bedside to tuck him in. Then she sat at the bedside and looked at his little face in a daze.

Quarmy would definitely not give up since he already knew the truth. Based on what he said just now, he might continue to pester her. What should she do?

The door was gently pushed open, and Leon came in. Seeing Monica frown, he whispered to comfort her. "Moni, don't worry, I'm here!"

Monica smiled at him. "Leon, thank you! Fortunately, you are here!"

"Quarmy is not a wicked person. He just can't accept it for a while. When he comes around, everything will be fine!" Leon said.

"I know. Leon, you must be very tired after a busy day. Have some rest!" Looking at Leon's tired face, Monica was very touched. Leon had been taking care of the company and Coco. He must have been exhausted. Now that she was back, she was responsible for taking care of Coco.

"Well, I'm going to rest. You should rest early too!"

Not long after Leon left, Quarmy entered Coco's room. Seeing him, Monica looked defensive. She asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Moni, I'm here to see our child." Quarmy's attitude was particularly good.

As he spoke, he sat down by the bed, looking at Coco with tender eyes. Monica wanted to drive him away, but she was unable to do so. No matter what, Quarmy was indeed Coco's father. She had no right to deprive him of his right to be a father.

Quarmy hadn't expected that he was actually the father of Monica' child. He didn't believe Mandy's words at first, but now he was sure that Coco was his son!

Quarmy's trembling hand gently touched Coco's head. He lowered his head and gently kissed on Coco's forehead. Son! His son! His heart was full of happiness and sorrow.

His son, who was supposed to be loved by his father and have nothing to worry about, had experienced homelessness because of him. Moreover, his son was seriously ill at such a young age.

He carefully touched Coco's face again, as if Coco was his most precious treasure. Monica felt distressed, so she stopped him. "Quarmy, don't wake him up!"

"I won't wake him up. Moni, I want to stay here with him tonight!" Quarmy begged in a low voice. "No!" Monica shook her head.

"Moni, I am his biological father! Let me accompany him, please!" There was a lump in his voice. In the past, he didn't know what Monica and Coco had suffered, but now he already knew the truth, how could he let them suffer again? He understood Monica's hatred, and he had no reason to blame her.

What he had to do now was to make up for it as much as possible. He had to compensate Monica and Coco. He would never let anyone hurt them again!

Monica refused, "Quarmy, I know what you're feeling now. It's just that Coco is still sick. I don't want him to get excited, do you understand?"

"I understand. I will do nothing except guarding him. Is that okay?"

"No, you're just an outsider to Coco. He'll be surprised to see you when he wakes up." Monica paused for a moment. "How do you want me to explain it to him then?"

Quarmy was a little annoyed. "He's still young, he won't have so many questions."

"Although he is young, he is very sensitive. I don't want him to know that you are his father. I am afraid that he can't accept it." Monica bit her lips. Coco's illness was undoubtedly the best excuse. She hoped that Quarmy would buy it. "I mean, you can't get close to him for the time being. When he recovers, I will tell him that you are his biological father, and I won't stop you from visiting him. What do you think?" "Sounds great, but I can't accept it!" Quarmy looked up at Monica. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that this was Monica's excuse to stop him from getting close to Coco. "I won't tell him I'm his father for the time being, but I will stay here to take care of him. I wasn't a part of his life, so from now on, I'm not going to miss a single moment!"

"You!" Monica's face changed. It seemed that he wouldn't leave. She naturally knew how stubborn he was. This matter was really tricky.

Quarmy insisted on accompanying Coco. Monica had no choice but to go back to her room to rest. She didn't sleep well this night and woke up early in the morning. When she got up, she went to Coco's room and found that Quarmy was helping Coco get dressed. Coco didn't refuse Quarmy, but asked him in a childish voice, "Uncle Huo, will you accompany me here in the future?"

"Yes! I will accompany you every day!"

Coco could not believe it. "You're not lying again, are you?"

"No! I will never lie to you again!" Quarmy answered very guiltily. Coco saw Monica at the door. "Mom, Uncle Huo said that he would accompany me to the hospital today!"
